Win a flag and then they're in the conversation.  Theyre obviously  a brilliant duo though,  best in the league.

Edited by Pickett2Jackson

Agree - they won't be taken seriously in those terms without premiership success.  And really if they are that good (and with Max) then we should be dominating the comp.  It's good to know we've got many years ahead of them playing together!

 

I'm getting that pre 2019 bathwater feeling and we all know how that ended

The reality is that the two rarely perform at elite level in the same game. If they do then perhaps we have the makings of a great team.

I was think about this the other day as well. But I think it should be extended to be the trio of Gawn, Trac and Oliver. If they can all fire at the same time it is quite a potent combination.   


Kerr, Judd and Cousins. With Cox tapping it down their throats. That was Worsfold's only ever tactic. Play those four on the ball.

They have some catching to do on Voss and Black, we desperately need Max back to his best, he’s been poor over the last few weeks.

Disappointing that this was said by Kane Cornes automatically disqualifying this statement as being true. ?

 

Gee Terlich & Toumpus are stiff..

 

Actually I was wrong - sorry Kane! His comments were reasonably measured. I assumed the thread title was what he had said.


Clarry, Trac, Viney and Gawn is easily the best midfield we have had in 50+ years

It's the best midfield we have had in  along time, but please, there are a vast number of midfields in front of our current lot who actually achieved success.

 

Bontempelli and Libba, or Bontempelli and Macrae, or Macrae and Libba, or any of those and Treloar...

Sure, Oliver and Petracca are amazing and the best the MFC has ever had, but they might not even be the best duo in 2021, let alone of all time.

Really?  Just more media fluff. Put some silverware on the shelf first, then we can discuss. 


I really hate this articles, this side and this pair has achieved absolutely nothing, 1 year of finals in the 5-6 seasons they have played, the side 1 year of finals in 16 years.  Pump our tyres up once we have actually had an era of success, that may or may not include premierships but 5-6 years of finals at least.

It's a conversation starter. Cornes' job is to start conversations. 

It really beats me why people get so uptight about this kind of thing.

Because we have been so bad for so long, we have a history of getting ahead of our selves getting big heads, Cornes knows this and is throwing bait out as he sells more papers slamming clubs like us then praising.  He wants us to get ahead of ourselves and self destruct like we did last year and many other years so he can go whack and be relevant.

OK Petracca and Oliver are having good years, same as last year, but give me Richmonds 3 premierships, or Hawthorns or Geelongs or even the Bulldogs 1 before we put these guys in the same conversation as the midfielders from these clubs.

The club hate these type of articles they are trying to change the culture to be club first and down play individuals

They're fantastic. Love the both of them. Reckon though you could pair the Bont with any of 2 or 3 doggies midfielders to have an equivalent if not better pair.

 Christian, Clayton as well as Max, the  best ingredients but the recipe needs tweaking. Like baking a cake, the right proportions of each ingredient, mixing and baking to get the chemical reaction right so as to provide the correct rise and give it the right flavour and texture.

it's media hype; preferable to media ignominy

How lucky are we to have this dynamic duo at our club, absolutely love Clarry & Tracc only time and ultimate success will determine whether they are recognised across the entire football fraternity as bona fide superstars.

To rate a midfield, all 4 players need to be taken into consideration. At the moment we have around 2.75. Viney would bring that to 3.25 IMV. Still short of a perfect 4.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
