I agree on other closing speed, spoiling, height issues.  I was pushing for Frosty as the next best 'Intercept' option once Lever went down, while many here preferred Joel, months ago on multiple posts.  Amazing how ppl conveniently miss that part and target you on any constructive (warranted) criticism.  Not surprising coming from you though Nasher.  Very quick to jump.

Lolwut? I criticised him for the same things you did - I even said I was against selecting him in the first place for those exact reasons. I do sometimes wonder if I’m speaking the same language as everyone else.

Please read my previous post again and consider whether your response was appropriate and fair in the context. If you think it is, we’ll agree to disagree and leave it at that.

    So good the AFL just decided to hand him the Brownlow and Melbourne the premiership on the spot. Season 2018 has been called off.

    If Maxy doesn’t win the Brownlow it will be because bloody Clarry got too many votes!

    Meh you just tend to take an aspect of what's said and wring it out in a way the writer never intended taking out of context Nash.  In this case for example, focusing on my handball wherever possible focus (as first option) and ignoring the kicking down the line bit to infer he shld never be allowed to kick again ...coaches orders!?  Other than that i agree with all you said ?

    And dw, you arent the first nor will you be the last to do that on here i'm sure!

    A very good 2nd half that made the week a lot better. I visited Mum in hospital  on the way to the game and she looked a lot better. She is 88 and is recovering from the same injury as the Bont. Thank you to all who passed on best wishes yesterday.  CARN THE DEMONS.

    She does not like football,  but wants Melbourne to win for me.

    If I may pick up on this ...your quote. ( Not a go at you ;) )

    This has to be either Cliche Masterclass.....or Naivete extraordinaire !!

    Jones might like to think everyone gives 100% but it's plainly not the case. Some do put in more...some do try more. That just is.

    There may be the intention to give all....not always the result.

    It's called the human condition.

    Don’t agree at all ...they would always give their best but as we always know & for whatever reason ..life ..footy etc doesn’t always mean it works out at 100%

    Harmes onto McCrae was the decisive factor IMO.  A handy discovery ahead of the Geelong game next week. If Ablett, Danger or Selwood create damage.

    Anyone notice that when we went to a straight 6 on 6 in our forward and backline we then went inside 50 much better. Especially when we won it out of the middle, when we were outnumbered as we were in the first half, they tend to run sideways out of the middle as opposed to straight out when it is one on one.

    Browny on Fox made a very good point in that when we go is50 we need to make more of our opportunities if we are going to compete against the top teams and he said it when we stuffed certain goals up which I think was in the last quarter. 

    Our 3rd quarter dominance came from making the most of almost all of our opportunities. This is what Richmond seem to do in the 4th quarter all the time.

    My point is simply...you might try...but you might not succeed in giving your best...or 100%

    We all have better days than some.No one ever goes to work and gets the very best out of themselves day in day out.

    everyone keeps talking about gawn for the brownlow but sorry folks he is only on about 12 votes according to my calculation, Hogan 11 and clarry 10. Mitchell will be streaking the field, excluding the suspended and injured Fyfe.

    The AFLCA votes often not a bad mirror for the Charlie.

    Max currently leading it...will add to it after this weekend ;)

    If he doesn’t win it, I suppose you will come on here and say “ I told you so, how right can one be”. 

    You need to lighten up a tad.

    The idea of a Ruck claiming a Brownlow is gaining momentum... especially among sports media folk. The name Max keeps cropping up in despatches :)

    go you good Gawn :)

    When was the last time Melbourne had 2 goal Kickers in the top 10 in the AFL?

    Its still amazing how many times we create good fwd 50 entries but dont manage to get the goals on the board. If we could improve this we would anielate alot of teams.

    Sat with the in laws today for wife's bday and had to listen to an exposition on how Grundie is better than Max. Fortunately wife's uncle has a brain and is a Demon and we both laughed .

    i thought it was rather outrageous they enjoyed my expansive deck on a glorious winter's day whilst lobbing such ridiculous statements at me. The conversation quietened somewhat as the Pies weagles game progressed

    With a solid preseason she should be right next year

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
