Correct! Steven May had all but agreed to be a Pie until his manager suggested a chat with Goody. After one phone call with him, he told his manager to find a way to get him to The Dees.

I wonder what his conversation with FIGJAM entailed? I reckon it was because Maysie was blown away by Goody not mentioning himself every 30 seconds 😁

just an advert for their sports management very little on Luke choosing us

 

The doco involves Dunstan because of his manager, and some of our presentation to Luke will be in this doco. D’Orazio actually explained our presentation to get Dunstan over the line as one of the best he’s ever seen.

I’d liken us to someone who has never really been good looking, then suddenly we became hot over the summer break

Who wouldn't want to come to the best team for his improvement as a footballer?

Makes good choices. Smart boy who should do well when given the opportunity.

The decision makes a bit more sense to me after reading the article. Sounds like he just wanted a good workplace and a fair opportunity to get a game if his form deserves it 

Originally I couldn't see why he would want to come here as he wouldn't get the game time I assumed he wanted.

Will likely be a great pick-up with covid looking to effect the year dramatically like other sports have been.

It's The Age. You can open it in incognito mode and it resets the 'monthly free article' counter. Because they are super tech savvy at Fairfax. 😁

What works for Jeremy Howe from FIGJAM certainly not for Maysie who  would  need a strong  argument to be persuaded. Saw his hit on that unfortunate Lion at the Gabba five years ago and our Stephen definitely plays for keeps. And we would have thought that Hibbo was previously a new breed of tough!!!  Silly us! 

PS That in  no way diminishes Hibbo as he has been deservedly rewarded as a premiership hero by good years more than not and a loyal and committed team man who was of AA standard in 2017.putting his peptides experiences well into the past and wiping them out at the same time and sadly his own family tragedy to boot early in 2021.

Ha ha! We let down our hair and took off our glasses and the high school quarterback suddenly realised: holy cow ... she's the 2021 AFL premier! and asked us to the prom.

When May went down in the Prelim , boy was I glad we had Hibbo roaming in defence. Thoroughly deserved Premiership medal.

The reason players who are free agents want to go to successful clubs is the promise of maybe playing in a GF and ultimately a premiership.

Like Frawley and Rivers they wanted success, some get the ultimate prize others miss out.

In any given year 3 or 4 teams standout but only 1 wins the prize and if the team is lucky with injuries and has enough scoring shot kicking accurately enough the prize is theirs.

In 2021 injuries played a part since a team like the Lions lost players who they could not cover with their depth players.

That is why depth players are important and the midfield is probably the most important area so players like Dunstan are valuable to team like the MFC.

Last year Richmond's midfield depth was tested and fell by the wayside.

Me too D17  Another analagy Who would you wish to play on at half back against The Dees 

Hibbo or Joel Smith?

And I think Joel was making some good gains in the last half if 2021.

Lets Hope he gets a really full go at it all season and we may see the good that our Coach sees in him at last.

Good luck Smithy.

Maybe Luke Wanted to play for a coach who was prepared to defy Gil, and have an occasional beer with his players.

I see the attraction of Joel Smith with his athleticism & flexibility but his weaknesses were on display against Brisbane with under-developed footy nous. Too often allowed his opponent to get goalside, and flew at the ball without impacting on a few occasions.

Compare that to say Bowey who has lesser physical attributes but much better footy nous.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
