Below average in every stat which is a little concerning. 

Yes he can run but no point being an elite runner when you cannot get the ball.

 

Thank goodness..some negativity… always need to highlight his perceived faults as a 21yr old before he actually gets to the club 🤨

    Well let's blow smoke up his ad like we have been with ANB and the rest of the average blokes we seem to love

    So Brisbane have made their moves and now have 32 and 34 and some other junk (43, 45, 60).

    We have 28, 40, 49, 54 and 65

    I doubt we go backwards but we could just give them all 5 of those picks for 32, 34 and Sharp

    Most likely result is we combo 2-3 of the 40/50’s later picks for one of 32 or 34 and Sharp.

    We have to keep flexibility for Oliver trades and getting another first round pick in this draft but I do wonder just what pick GWS can’t turn down for a guy they’ve never played (or what offer we can realistically make).

    Yes we love ANB.  Drafted with pick 40, turns into an ultimate professional footballer, works on his weaknesses, plays in a premiership, his mum sits in the cheer squad wearing a red wig, stays 10 years, his family comes to the last training session all in Demons gear, and we get pick 28 for him.  Draft another please.

    I mean what did Bris get for Joe D - nothing;

     Good pickup if we can make it happen without giving up much, we really lacked in depth this year and this will help address that

    Had a read of the Brisbane Bigfooty forum and the overall vibe about Sharp was positive:

    • Reasonably disappointed to see him go
    • Excellent athletically
    • Was said to be dominant in an early season VFL game over Casey which may have piqued our interest
    • MCG will suit his playing style and Langdon could be a good mentor
    • Disposal iffy (but who hasn't got iffy disposal at the MFC)

    And some here say comments:

    • Apparently Fullarton and his Dad not are not overly excited about being at the MFC.
    • A certain someone that is no longer on the list will be a positive for the MFC in terms of behavioural and cultural issues. The player was mentioned numerous times on their forum.

    20 touches and a goal.

    Quality not quantity??

    Who knows, I doubt many of us saw the game.

    VFL stats show he was consistent through the year without starring particularly in any certain game.  His stats show a higher kick to handball ratio, offer relating his more outside run and carry role.  Sounds good to provide another link type player. Pick 54 is enough in exchange for Sharp.

    Casey will benefit

    He was an emergency for the Lions in this year's GF so around the 25th best player at the Lions will do me.

    You are seriously comparing a 29 year old VFL player to the premiership player and life member who just came third in the B&F? You are a fool.

    Think there's enough there to make this a great acquisition. Even if just filling Hunter's spot

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
