Wait until Petracca starts to play some good games, they will be in full melt down.

McCartin the new Watts

I love this bring the ball to the ground. It is as if gravity didn't exist. They are stopping an opposition mark, that is all or in Dawes case dropping a mark and the ball falls using gravity to the ground. AMAZING!

Great to hear from you dieter, hope your health is on the improve. Keep posting, we are not all negative nancy's here. Mind you the positive ones are all mad..lalalalalallalal.

Deano, don't think dead players can be listed.

Fitz could be the next Steph Martin. I think he is a keeper. Can play back & forward and a bit of ruck, could be a new prototype mobile tall.

I like that earlier comparison, he's like N Jones on the inside and Watts on the outside. True grunt and class. I think he is the best 10 gamer I have seen at MFC. Mind you Allen Jakovich was pretty special. * From wikipedia. * Allen Jakovich has the distinction of being the fastest player to score his first fifty goals, taking only nine games to do so.[2] He finished with 71 goals for his debut season; becoming one of a handful of players inVFL/AFL history to kick 50 goals in both the senior competition and now defunct 'reserves' league within the same season. NB: I think he was about 23 yo on debut.

Fitzy plays man on man with Sinclair all day. Gawn rests forward, that will stretch them. If Nic Nat goes forward Tmac or Dunn can cover him, he can't mark anyway. When Gawn-NicNat resting Watts goes back.

I hear you Django, but my feelings are Fitzy if an upgrade on Spencer as 2nd ruck and a much better mover and can chase and compete below the knees. Garland plays short or tall and can run. Hogan well you make room for Hogan and he is worth much more to the team than Riley. I like 2 rucks. Outs - Spencer Bail & Riley In - Fitzpatrick Garland Hogan

Too excited, how did I forget the Hulkster? Outs - Spencer Bail & Riley In - Fitzpatrick Garland Hogan Thanks guys.

Outs - Spencer Bail/Riley In - Fitzpatrick Garland Tough on Spencer but Fitzy has more tools is better below his knees can play back, forward or ruck.

Looks like we will almost have a complete list come finals time.

H, have you taken of ten degrees because of Slobbo?

Not really, picks 5 -23 -41 vs 4 -15-40 Second pick moves up 8 spots is not a great incentive to tank.

I want 100+ MFC games from Cross. Does he have any children? F&S ?

Most had Brayshaw instead of Garlett. I think putting 6 MFC players in is a bit of a knee jerk reaction. The team was good, that was a surprise - must have had several stars.

Brayshaw................hahahahahahha! I think we had a win.

If you had ever had a big toe injury, you would realise that you cannot run,(initially walking is difficult) then you get muscle wastage, strain on other toes and foot soreness. It takes ages to regain confidence in the toe and repeat injuries are common. Mine was 37 years ago and I still have issues at times after sprinting.

My solution to draft picks. This is every year no priority picks. Finish 1 round 2nd round 3rd 18 1 & 9 37 55 17 2 & 11 38 56 16 3 & 13 39 57 15 4 & 15 40 58 14 5 23 41 13 6 24 42 12 7 25 43 11 8 26 44 10 10 27 45 9 12 28 46 8 14 29 47 7 16 30 48 6 17 31 49 5 18 32 50 4 19 33 51 3 20 34 52 2 21 35 53 1 22 36 54 The change to the top 7 teams is that they are pushed back 4 positions in the first round. Finish 8th drop 3 positions - 9th drop 2 positions - 10th drop 1 position. This will help the bottom 4 sides get back up more quickly without too much pain to other sides. Edit: No huge advantage to encourage tanking.

Next year he would be a depth player for us, might struggle to get a game at the dees.

It's tough when I can only give Brayshaw 2 votes, I thought he was outstanding. Big Max set it up, Bernie hard and polished, the Skip always good, Viney the brick on legs. 6: Gawn 5: Vince 4: Jones N 3: Viney 2: Brayshaw 1: Dunn Its Tuesday and I'm still smiling. Must watch the replay again tonight.

Update on Gawn hitouts ave 38 disposal 15.3 marks 4.0 clangars 2.3 eff disp 76.5% Gawn can be the dominant ruckman in the comp. Time for the onballers to be buying him lunch, he will feed them for years to come. Go Maxy.

Hands up all those that don't rate ruckmen.

Hit & run. Edit: Selwood- "WTF was that?- get the number - 7 - need that for the insurance claim" " Note to self - That Viney is a hard [censored], bring more tissues and bandages for next time, nah, might have general soreness next time."
