His pass in the 3rd qtr to Hogan (I think) last week was sublime. Was clearly in our best.

We were also singing his praises in the Richmond win in rd 4.

Also ended last year quite well so might be the sort of player that works himself into a season.

Probably just worth perserving with but doesn't provide any point of difference at AFL level.

Will be surprised if he's in the mix when our midfield stocks are bolstered next season. Been decent in his past two games and he's the sort of player you have to give a few games (definitely not a good sub) to assess them. He was said to be a bargain when we acquired him but I don't think he's good enough to hold a spot in any side

I like Viv and wanted it to work, but he's clearly got no elite traits at AFL level. He's OK, but we need better than OK.

Keep turning the bloody list over and stop hanging on to fringe journeyman like we have for years.

If we jettison one too early I can live with that. I'd rather a 'Viv' embarrass us than continually keeping ordinary players.

He is still young and has not played many games, but within those games I have seen things to show he can make it at AFL level.

Def keeper I reckon.

Most players require at least 20+ games to feel comfortable at the highest level. FFS we have persisted with M jones (50 games), Bail, Terlich etc for longer and they have shown less skill wise than this guy.

I dont mind Viv.. I think he needs 1 big breakout game for everything to click. Hes one of the few players on the list that kicks to the advantage of his team mates.

Has improved his defensive running the last 2 weeks which I think was why he kept getting shunted back to VFL. Play him rest of the year and if he plays like he did last week for the remainder in a shallow draft year extend him for 2016.

Hiis past two games have been pretty good ,even when the wall is crashing down around him. He seems to have a lot more confidence because he is starting to feel comfortable out there.

He was far from the worst today !!

One Showed improvement in his last 2 games. He is AFL standard. Strong and a good kick. Perfect modern wingman.

'Perfect modern wingman' is a bit ambitious. Was good last week, showed a little bit today. Is still a 'may keep' for me.

T-e-r-r-i-b-l-e.

Pfft coming from the bloke who has a teary if anyone qestions his lover boy Jack Watts.

Michie today showed why he should have been given more game time ahead of the likes of Bail and Jones.. earnt himself another year. He is gaining more and more confident each week. He rarely wastes the ball and actually has good decision making.

I don't believe in keeping bad players on the basis of:

1/ He is not the worst.

2/ Shallow draft.

If you don't have anything to offer, you're cut.

I see something in Mitchie though. I think he is worth trying.

MJones, DTerlich, RBail, Mckenzie, BNewton, ARiley, JFitzpatrick aren't.

If you can't see he is bog ordinary, I can't help you.

I'd be cleaning out others before Michie. Was probably our best today.

Bail, McKenzie, M Jones, Jamar, Grimes, Garland and Howe should be out the door before him. He is on the fringe though.

I'd like to revisit my earlier post.

Gotta be at least 10+ others I'd get the [censored] out of this club before moving Viv on. As if it wasn't bad enough that Roos contradicts his own mission statement by refusing to drop bad players, but the team would be fools to delist players actually having a dip compared with some of the other peahearts who pervade the list.

No, not at all.

Mediocre player in a mediocre team.

Thought he was better than average today, which doesn't equate to 'terrible' in my book. Just my opinion,

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
