LMBB

WITH TENDERNESS.

Id even have him in before Priddis

[Return to Glory 8,442]

On the positive side this just adds more credence to our request to the AFL for special assistance, doesn't it?

Mark (no need to consult others) Evans has already told us that nothing short of the Black Death running through the club will get us a pick.

Still on the cards then.

Thanks for the good news.

I know he's not the most popular player for opposition fans, but Brent Harvey in the AA-40 at age 36 is pretty good going.

[Little Richard 6,263]

I'm afraid that's too far the other way. Priddis is a fantastic player.

[Frosty Demon 153]

Are you [censored] kidding me? Not even in the squad? second for total disposals and fourth for clearances, and that's in our team what a joke

Having just read through this thread I am surprised and it takes a lot to surprise me these days were the MFC is concerned.

Jones has had a reasonable year as the captain of the worst side in the competition.

We are a side that had four wins and finished second last. we only missed last becuase we had a couple of percentage points better the Saints.

I dont remember Jones getting a best on ground nomination in any of the games this year.

He had some good games but also had some ordinary games.

He stands out at the MFC because he surrounded by a large number of poor footballers that does not make A Class just makes him the best of a bad lot.

The simple fact is that he is not in the AA 40 because he is not in the top 40 players.

[WhyAlwaysMe 237]

its fully understandable, no one other then MFC supporters watch our games, if they put him in they would be just guessing, thats not professional.

[stuie 7,374]

Said a while back, we overrate all our players due to our familiarity with the names.

Reality is, our list is THAT bad.

[godees 863]

He is ranked 20th for supercoach points per game which is a far better representation than the AFL site's ranking system

Unfair but not unexpected with tossers like Bartlett, Evans and Darcy on the panel.

AFL is not the sport you should be following

The experts and the score board agrees with me budge.

I am comfortable with what my eyes tell me.

not sure how the scoreboard is relevant to this

he is playing in a very poor side and as a result looks better than he really is.

[What 18,810]

Jonesy is great but needs to kick more goals

But I dont blame him for that since hes doling so much of everything else to try and lift his rabble team

[P-man 13,366]

Just saw the panel had Bartlett, Richo and Frawley on it.

What a shock that Ellis gets a nod ahead of Jones.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

wearing the wrong jumper and that is the only reason why

[P-man 13,366]

Oh please. What a load of garbage. I thought people stopped trotting that line out 2 years ago. Apparently not.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

it works the other way IMO, it is harder to look good in a shyzen side because nobody with any skill is helping you out and you get all the opposition attention

[WhyAlwaysMe 237]

its not his teammates he runs rings around its the opposition, under your selection criteria Ablett has been very lucky to have been considered over the years with so many duds around him.

He doesn't kick more goals because he does all the hard running to help out the backline, then runs hard again to set up another option.

Reality check needed Nathan Jones ( clearly our best, aint near the top echelon) which really is what a few of us have been saying ........ Fabulous player but playing in a Sheeeeeeit team means just a tick under "A" grade

Dunn, Jetta very good but not as good as those whom they would replace.

REALITY CHECK !
