Mitch Hannan has banked them on a nice angle 40 out when it mattered recently. When i saw it was his golden locks with the mark v bris in the last few mins, i breathed a sigh of relief... i think he then passed it, which was also smart.

Perfect opportunity to roll out one of Dennis Cometti's best ever lines. When asked who he'd want kicking for goal if his life depended on it, his answer was (paraphrasing): "My mother. At least I know she'd be trying".

If it's after the siren and between 40m and 50m I do go for Jones. There's enormous pressure under such circumstances and I'd be a bit worried about Watts in that circumstance. Jones has become a very reliable kick and I don't think pressure would worry him. Salem would be my next choice. Over 50m and I'd choose Watts as his technique and range is better than Jones or Salem at that distance, even with he pressure added.

And I'm not sure why anyone wants Garlett. He's great on the run, but not so hot on set shots.

Outside 50  from the boundary after the siren in Darwin, I know who I'd pick...

Outside 50 from the boundary after the siren in Tasmania, I know who I wouldn't pick...  :laugh:

Pre hamstring Watts you'd have him inside 50 and outside 50. Would still have him inside 50 but would go Tmac or Vince for outside 50 for now.

Hogan can't kick 40m+ unfortunately on a set shot. Something to do with his posture, hamstrings, and that guy inside his head. 


Robbie Flower. No one said it had to be a current day player. If only he (l think it was Tony Campbell) had handballed to Robbie while running towards goal in the last quarter of the 1987 prelim against the Hawks ...

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
