If we end up having Hoges, Clark, Dawes and Fitz all down there at once is there a team in the league with a back line with enough height to combat that?

I don't know, but there are 17 teams that would easily take the ball out of that forward line as it is so top heavy.

    I'm not sure Hogan down back at least some of the time is not such a bad thing. David NEITZ says playing on the likes of Carey and Jonathan Brown taught him more about forward play than 10 years of coaching. After all, Carey did famously say Neitz was the best CHB he played on, and I would argue, particularly in the last 5 years of his career Neitz was the most destructive forward in the competition.

    hogan I think will in many ways be our modern day Neitz (and Clark playing a fit Schwartz, and Howe ROBBO), that is quite some combination.

    I reckon you're timing is out by a fair whack...

    Really liked what Fitzpatrick brought last year but as far as I'm concerned, if Clark plays Fitz doesn't.

    And that for me means he is essentially trade bait.

    But a great season in the VFL should actually raise his value on the trade table for next year.

    one thing for sure is that we are all going to enjoy footy matches a lot more next year, when we get it inside 50 there will actually be some talent sitting under it instead of kicking it to absolutely nobody as we have gotten used to seeing. BRING IT ON

    It is going to be an exciting season I reckon.

    I'm sure someone has said that every year since 1965.

    Sometimes you get to thinking that maybe Charlie Brown ought to be our mascot !!

    Fitz on one wing watts on the other

    Howe about this?

    Dawes - Hogan - Byrnes

    Trengove - Clark - Howe

    Watts will play in the mid but can go forward instead of Howe

    Fitzy can go up forward when Hogan is out

    Not so sure. Fitz, Dawes and Clark are no slouches and will apply forward defensive pressure like we are totally unused to seeing from MFC talls, or indeed any group of tall forwards

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
