Garland can't take a tall either. Height isn't everything in a defender. 

i didn't say it was everything. i was just pointing out that whilst taller than puopolo 186cm is not tall these days.

whether you were impressed or not garland was often played on the opponent's 3rd tall

Sorry Redleg this post screwed up, I would never try and put words in your mouth.

Didn't think I said that.

Im intrigued by Hibberd, probably suits us as an upgrade on a Garland type, intercept mark 3rd tall type?

Hardly a tall at 186cms. He is shorter than Grimes. Garland is 191 cms.

Call me anything but late for breakfast I have a feeling that Hibberd is going to breakdown ( actually my white witch told me) for a long time. Hasn't the footy factory GWS got someone we can poach i.e Caleb Marchbank.

its hilarious really

 

So we now know  how much manure to apportion anything Essendon hey !

The thing is I still despise  the AFL more. Dumbo will get away scott free. 

LOL the tears from Essendope and Worsfold are great.  Nice feeling to be one of the clubs kicking them while they are down. I hope all other clubs join the party.


PD you were right to call me on my thinkings towards the 90's and woosha.  Quite seriously I wasnt focusing on those years at all and was late at night..but  granted ...fair call. i mistook the post for referencing  Worsfold's nefarious doings in general.( and later )  I still do.  He's a skunk

What involvement he had in the 90's...wtf  knows. History suggests many things. His directions in latter events in the Naughties however  seem to speak for themselves.

Does anyone else think that perhaps pj shouldn't have been so forthright about our interest and that hibberd might resent things being made uncomfortable for him?

Not if he's already made his decision.

Peter Moore, Kelvin Templeton 

The last thing we would want is to upset them .

We should offer Brian Royal as compo.


Melksham vs Hibberd? Hibberd all the way. Better player all round. Melksham I'm lukewarm on. Goes in hard, tries his guts out, but meh disposal. If one thing's been made clear to me this year (apart from how good we're gonna be in the next 5 years or so), it's that we need a little more pace and a lot more skill. 

Thought I'd paste a response from Nick Bowen on the AFL website trade chat today... Not ground breaking but worth a mention...

Question asked if we were chasing anyone...

Michael Hibberd is likely to be at the Dees next year. Dion Prestia also in Melbourne's sights.

Why would Jetta leave?

Keep up with the rumours Nasher .. oh sorry.... you're on Tassie time :unsure:

Bowen on afl.com yesterday speculated that one VIC club is heavily interested in him and the 2 WA clubs are sniffing around. A contract extension was almost done and dusted earlier in the year but the landscape has now changed with Jetta.

I reckon something is playing on Jetta's mind and he's put in near career worst performances the last fortnight.

One of Jetta, T Mac or Watts will be gone IMO. We always lose a player a year.

We have to turn our list over by 3 each year. Let's hope its Terls, MJones and Grimes for Hibbert, Prestia and Hurley, rather than TMac, Jetta and/or Watts. Highly unlikely, but a guy can dream can't he?!

 

You need to take three picks to the draft although I think a rookie upgrade can be classed as one. 

 

Maso if we trade in 2/3 we then need to turn over 5/6

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
