Had a pretty good year but definitely not the style of player we need more of

    If you bring him in it is a replacement for the likes of Harmes, Dunstan, Sparrow, Jordon etc.

    Not sure that's a priority plus I can't see the Hawks not re-signing him.

    Not the best disposer of the ball, we need players with good finishing skills

    Was just about to ask about his kicking skills.

    We're in a spot now where we should only be looking to bring in elite kicks in both the draft and any trades we might do.

    But, binman, we drafted Adem Maric ย and James Strauss because they were elite kicks - big problem was that we didnโ€™t see much of this elite skill because they didnโ€™t have the ballย

    Draft them to us now and they would be very different players.

    Same can be said for every player drafted to Melbourne from that period.

    None of them had the foundation or environment to fulfil any sort of potential.

    We were an absolute mess as a club.

    100% agree.ย 

    The suns can get hardwick as a coach, but it will make little difference if they don't sort their fitness, development, welfare and other critical systems and programs.

    Nope, not a perfect comparison due to play time but Sparrow is a better user of the ball than Worpel and if he played the same time in the midfield as he does I reckon Sparrow would have the same disposal numbers.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
