The irony is Fullarton would probably get a game for the premiers next year if he was still there

Daniher was their most important player. Now they have Hipwood as their main target

Just get the feeling he's going to play on a wing and Langdon might move into the ANB high half forward role

Or Langdon and him on the wing, and Windsor more through the middle of the ground?

Welcome aboard Harry Sharp glad that you chose the Dees looking forward to seeing your extra pace out on the G once you have earned your spurs. Four years in the Lions system so should fit in well with our young brigade.

I'd love to try Caleb at half back too. In a quarterback role.

Surely he would have chosen a destination club?!

Other than running the 2km in a record time what are his other attributes, does he have a big kick or smart he user of the ball or does he tackle and harass like a mad man

Is sharp quick? Or just big tank?

I know he has the record for the 2km but not sure what that says about explosive and short distance sprinting ahha

Can he actually get the ball? It’s fairly important in footy !

The industry has used the term quarterback for quite a while now...

I wonder if he could get a game straight away. They might be a bit shy in playing 2 kids straight away. McAdam is also a chance of getting in the team.

Interesting idea.

If it pans out that way, would perhaps explain langers spending a big chunk of the second half of the season at HFF given they would have known nibbla was leaving.

I thought he played wing most of the second half of the year and started rhe year at half forward? I could be misremebering, but that's my memory of a season to forget.

He's got the hair to hold his own with Ed and Caleb.

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.  

Great news…welcome aboard Harry 👏👏👏

He’s the type of player needed and type of trade (22yo, 4 years in system) that can come in straight away and still improve and improve.
Elite endurance.  Run and carry and kick type of player.  Can play the ANB type role.  Been behind some high quality players at Lions. Move to the Dees should give him the opportunities he needs.

Played half forward against Carlton and a few other teams about 1/3rd of the way in to the year. 

Played wing in the second half of the year when Nibbler was often needed on ball.

I hope we have more freedom and flexibility through games and week to week based on match ups. And can see Sharp, Kolt, Chandler and maybe others on the wing. In addition to Langdon and Windsor of course.

If Sharp can mature and develop into the ANB mold, then I think we've done well out of trading ANB to the Crows.  Although I always saw early glimpses of potential in ANB, he didn't really start hitting his straps as an AFL footballer consistently until he had around 4 or 5 seasons under his belt.  Alot of that development work has been done with Sharp and if he can make the grade, then I like that we're continuing to rejuvenate the age profile of our list, without bottoming out and/or ending up with a glut of aging starts that would set us up for a big fall in the future.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
