Tomlinson and Langdon are locks. 

 

Not sure if you have answered this one already but was Elliot the second free agent you were referring to in earlier posts ?

    Down at Collingwood they call Elliott ‘Basil’ so he could well be the player D11 was speaking about.

    As long as it's not Zempilas, I don't care who it is...

    I haven’t seen a lot of Greater Waste of Space games to be honest, but Saturday nights game was a Cracker, except for Tomlinson, who was just awful. I hope he just had a bad game. we need real recruits, not the usual NQR opposition cast offs which has been the norm for so long. (Craig Turkey, The Cockatoo Collins twins, Tom Gillies, Shannon Byrnes as a few examples)

    Maybe he has checked out of the Franchaise already, which would be a bad sign.

    Finals maketh careers, attitude is what we need, the rest can be taught. 

    i hope he plays in the Preliminary Final to redeem himself, i will be watching him closely

    He's not in the best 5-10 players you'd have in any team, but is a very hand 15-22 type guy, a real role player. He's also not a cast off either, the giants want to keep him but he's been squeezed out because of the re-signing of Cogs and the need to have cash for Cameron and Whitfield next year. Certainly wasn't his best game, but I wouldn't be judging a player off 1 game alone.

    cheers. i am not judging him on 1 game. i am judging him on 1 Final. 

    I hope he gets a 2nd one next Saturday

    Same thing?

    He's played finals the last four years and performed well...

    That was the 8th final he's played in if that's the only criteria, and he was probably GWS's best in the 2017 prelim.

    what he did 2 years ago is irrelevant now, but what he didn’t do on Saturday concerns me.

    No doubt he had a shocker, no debate there. But you previously said that finals maketh careers and that you don't watch much GWS, so trying to give some context to what he has achieved in past finals is relevant. If you're just going to argue about the only game you've seen him in, then really you're a bit irrelevant to this discussion.

    what a player does season to season is one thing - Form

    Club Culture is a cumulative thing, it grows

    55 years of no success defines the Club at this point. 

    What Tomlinson did in 2017 is irrelevant, his form on Saturday was putrid. i hope he gets a chance to redeem himself

    not when a player plays so poorly. his past form is irrelevant in that situation. 

    But that is my opinion 

    The example of David Warner is rather apt right now. 

    His form prior to 2017 is completely irrelevant to his output in the ashes series just completed

    Tomlinson played just 56% of the game on the weekend. Difficult to have an impact with such low time on ground.

    Yeah so true. If Dangerfield has another poor game by his standards then I don't rate his as a footballer. What he's done in finals in previous years means nothing ey SWYL..

    55 years of no success defines you and your attitude.

    The current group at the club is defined by the time they've been there and what they've done in that time.

    That's a pretty ordinary comparison, cross sports normally are, but plucking out a guy who was suspended for 12 months then came back and played badly is a stretch - Smith also was picked on his form prior to 2017, how'd he go? 

    Tomlinson played all 22 H&A games, but you've dismissed them and said only finals are relevant, and then only the final that you've watched is relevant. I really hope the footy club put more work and thought into selecting players/trading/drafting than you do!

    the players are only one part of the Club, yes  The Engine, but they are an ongoing part of the Club...

    72 Years of no success defined The Swans until 2005. those 22 players shall always be the “special ones”

    Same goes for Footscray. they went 62 years until 22 players broke the drought.

    i look at the big picture. September is a new Competition 

    Warner’s form today is irrelevant now as to what it was. it has nothing to do with different sports. it’s pure psychology. he is completely shot batting at Test Level.

    Getting back on topic, i reiterate I hope Tomlinson can redeem himself next weekend

    ”One is only as good as your last performance”

     i believe that statement to be correct, maybe you don’t

    In your mind maybe, but the executive individuals at the club - the staff and players are only defined by their own careers.

    What happened at MFC in 1965 has NOTHING to do with what will happen in there in 2020.

    I know from your posting over the years that this is something you cannot understand.

    Talk about contradicting yourself! 

    In one post you're saying a club is defined by its past and now you're saying "one is only as good as your last performance"! 

    Neither are true.  Have a think about it ...

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
