Not many players capable of covering off on Nick Im afraid. Has to be a combo of Tom and Garlo with chop outs from others If they can make the contest. Nick plays such a high game and then runs back just as hard and does It repeatedly. Toms the most suited for this job Athletically and defensively.  His problems arise when he actually gets the pill.

I wld be treating Tom like a lumbering ruckman at this stage , making sure there's always one or 2 options running past from behind for the quick handball as much as possible to minimise the chance of Tom producing too many damaging turnovers, thereby reducing the opponent's ability to score from turnovers In our defensive half

I was being sarcastic. Of course Tom goes to Nick.

Classic Melbourne. Play against an under strength opposition and mentally switch off....again. 

Disappointing  but to be expected. 

Classic Melbourne? I wish classic Melbourne meant switching off, kicking four goals seven to a solitary point in the last quarter, taking the intensity up a couple of levels and coming from 3 goals down to win by two. We can only dream that becomes classic Melbourne.

I have to say Bombay my definition of disappointing is different to yours.

Most pleasing thing for me is we are moving the ball far better, and we have kept opposition teams scoreless in 3/8 quarters this year, our biggest worry is we are slow out of the blocks at the minute.

By my reckoning PG i think we've been doing pretty much that for nigh on 15 years now

I thought I read somewhere that Nick had slimmed down a bit and they were looking to run him in the midfield. So doubt that will be tommy,  I wonder if we could play vandenberg on him? his big enough and probably quick enough and does not mind a tackle.

Not quite sure why you see the need to raise those old photos again...
