If you had a brain you wouldn't support MFC

I disagree Chook.

I have heard that some very intelligent people believe in IPU - (the invisible pink unicorn)*- See photo below. Go figure.

So on that basis it is possible that an intelligent person somewhere supports MFC.

Tapscott always looked like a footballer, but never played like one. I don't recall him ever playing a really good game. He may have been involved in a good passage of play or a good moment here or there, but he never even played a good game. I'm sorry it probably sounds harsh, but he was never 'in' the game. Toumpas was one of the best players on the ground the other day. I'm not saying his game was the greatest game in the history of the sport, but the Tapscott comparison is just rubbish.

Tapscott's first ever game against Sydney was one of the best debuts that I can remember seeing. Unfortunately for us, he never played a better game than that.

That being said, comparing LT and JT is like apples and oranges. Completely different players, bodies, positions, and skills. It's like comparing Jack Watts to Jack Viney.

Much improved game from Jimmy that should give him much more confidence. He's a quick decision maker and his instincts sometimes gets the better of him in being a little too quick - which brings a teammate under the pump; undone.

He'll keep improving. Great foot skills.

ET, I found you.

An intelligent, delusional MFC supporter, I knew there would be another one.

Outside midfielder’s also generally take longer to adapt to senior AFL footy. There are a lot more physical contents and less time and space. Even more difficult when you are trying to slot into a battling midfield that’s not overly skilled to start with.

Much smoother transition for an inside mid. Usually stronger and used to battling for contested ball. Old mate Wallace (on Future Stars) reckons the success rate for inside mids taken high in the draft is something like 85%.

Can’t remember what the success rate for outside mids was concluded to be, but it was a reasonable drop off for that type of player (and a further drop off for kpp’s).

Wallace's analysis was based on national draft years 2001-2010

Success rate for KPP's taken has been 38%, Rucks 30%, Outside Mid/Flankers 34% Inside mids 85%.

Love the fact that discussion around Jimmy is quickly swinging from "is he AFL standard?" to "when is he going to sign a contract extension?" Great to see some genuine improvement and hopefully he gets a decent contract offer soon.

when there i swyl, there is life, & a way!

boyo what a way, in a matter of weeks, he has been shot, drawn, & cauterized, & put back on the park... watt next, they wyl want to circum-size the poor bastardos.

Wow, big difference.

Based on that you'd draft nothing but inside mids and trade for other positions.

I'm never going to speak ill of the Toump again!

I think Picket Fence will want to choose his words wisely now..

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
