Stef Martin. We need him in the team A.S.A.P. After watching Russian live last week I saw him Jog and stroll around and give us 0 leads and as has been discussed in Demonland 0 marks. I believe we could start Stef and my man crush Mitch forward with Russian in the ruck. Stef as more of a lead up forward with Mitch at full forward. Russian and Stef do the ruck work and that Leaves Mitch at Full Forward. If Russian would read the rule book which states ruckman have permission to kick the ball instead of turning his head and body all over the joint like the devil is in him he might be able to i don't know kick a couple through the big sticks and not handball it to anyone who then gets tackled.

The team needs mobile talls, like Darren Jolly at his best.

Was hoping given the chance to start over that you'd put more effort into your OP's DF!

.....or is this just an attempt to lure TGR over here?

Stef Martin. We need him in the team A.S.A.P.

That would be a start though Stef was struggling as much as anyone when he went AWOL. The Russian's gonna re-birth his old nickname if he doens't get on his bike.

Garland forward (Rivers to a lesser extent) at least shows this coach will think outside the box.

I agree - but this could also be due to a lack of "run and spread" - or a bit of both?

He doesn't even do the old long kick down the line I think his feet are painted on.

I loved Robbo!

Na, just some Mark Jamar from this game:

Great video. Although what sort of idiot makes a highlight video of a loss....

Nev Jetta was excellent in this game. It's a shame injuries have made it even harder for his type to make it, I really like him.

Look how open the forward line was back then, wish we could clear it out like that for Mitch The Ultimate Mobile Tall Clark.

Other than DJ D_F, who else did you have in mind ? Lucas Cook ?

Whether or not Neeld is a fan of Martin or not, I'm not sure. He was injured so he maybe trying to meet a level of "compliance" (nuffies like this sort of talk), before Neeld gives him the green light. Other options are Seller, Fitzpatrick and of course Gawn. I'm not exactly on the edge of my seat. The 'key' is development with our talls.

If you're looking elsewhere we already have suggestions in past threads such as Patton where you'd have to sell the house.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
