Gee great 6th or 7th post, so Fitzy will be the first ever list management failure by a footy club...wow.....and why are you shopping for a ruck/forward?, do you have your own team?

Everything ok Saty? Not usually your style to flat out have a go at someone. 

Let's hope he is okay and maybe just 'seeing other forums'

Anyone checked the photos of the BnF on the club site?

oliver's face is priceless! He just looks delighted to be standing next to a bird, let alone on a date

Wells is good enough to take a chance on. 

Those worries about cap space next year, why? All our best players are under 22. We have been over paying our players for years. In 4 years our cap will be an issue certainly not now. 

Just give him the 500 Dawes was on. Or the 400 Dunn and grimes etc are on

I have a Twitter account, read all the papers and all the supporter boards, what rumour shall I start from a reputable source     at the moment Hibberd to Melbourne Prestia to Richmond? and Jaeget to ?  they are fact? the rest are guesses

thats the point of the thread.

agree, he is progressing very well.  When he came on the scene last year with that frame I thought no games in first year then maybe a handful in year two but he has done very well.  He is so professional with training and preparation and is a great addition to the team

will never be the Star player but will hopefully be very important with some much needed run and spread and tidy skills.

Players often say that peer recognition is the most satisfying.  It is decided by the Most Valuable Player award voted on by all players in the comp.  http://www.aflplayers.com.au/

Warning Alert: picket fence - turn away now!

MFC nominees are:

MVP NOMINEES: Jack Viney, Max Gawn, Nathan Jones

BEST FIRST YEAR NOMINEE: Josh Wagner

MOST COURAGEOUS NOMINEE: Jack Viney

CAPTAIN: Nathan Jones

Interesting that Wagner got the nod ahead of Oliver for 'Best First Year Nominee' with 14/13 games played respectively.  Obviously highly thought of.  This suggests (to me) Wagner will be offered a contract on the main list for next year.

 

Gawn might be a shot in this.  He value to our team is massive

Anyone else sick of the Jesse Hogan saga? So much so that I am getting sick of Jesse himself. If he does not sign soon and dispel all the doubts I will actively dislike him. And if he leaves for more money my dislike will turn to a much stronger force. And it will not be love.  

He isn't even in the last year of his contract. 

I say cut the young man some slack

Thing about Gawn is that he was brilliant in 7-8 games and they stick in the memory. BnFs are all about consistency. 

He has a few down days and a few just average. Would have been a worthy winner regardless but I think Viney and jones were more consistent.

That is overs for me. I would have him about 15th.

He was great in most of the first 17 rounds. Ave 2.5 goals. Leading us for contested marks etc. 

I'm amazing at people's opinion of hogan and the short memories

What role did he play in the Hawthorn win this year or Geelong last year? Hope he stays but if not milk it for all its worth and move on to success without him.

He didn't play in those two games

he has been far and away out best forward over the past two years though. And in his first two seasons. 

My tip is from 23 to 28 he will be the best fwd in the comp

god i hope it is not true.  Superstar in the making

our forward line next year would be a basket case without him

If you are reviewing his stats like Ive been - beware he was known as "Mr Sub". another young players' development that was halted by the sub rule.  he wore it 8 times last year

Reported last night he was $700K and Port has to clear the cap with a lot of players on high long term deals.

what ridiculous wages!!

sounds like he held them to ransom last year, signed on for 5 years and played a terrible year.  

Stay well clear Dees

Can't handle negative feedback old Jacko. 

What a pansy

Was told yesterday that he failed a medical test at North, but can't find anything online to support that.

Anyone know anything?

how do you actually pass a medical when you haven't played in 2 years?  He must still have the knee injury and there are never definites about full recovery.  A club will need to take a punt on him and Im glad we dont seem into him.

One great season, an average one and now no games for 2 years.  as sad as it is for him, it is possible his best is already behind him

Anyone else struggle through the first weekend of the dees not playing?

wasnt even any finals to distract us. Wtf are the afl thinking having a bye now. Lose all momentum. 

I was so desperate I almost watched an NRL game. 

I think the Hawks may be losing the plot. Vickery might have been carried by them last year but not from next year onwards. 

A poor player

Brett Anderson: Outside of Hibberd it's been very quiet around Melbourne regarding trades @SENAfternoons

I wouldn't mind a quiet trade period or two. Key for us is to keep our top 10 players under 22 yo. For the first time in a looooong time we have great young talent. 

When oliver tracca brayshaw etc have 50 games under their belt, bring in a senior gun. 

See him as a better version of Sylvia. Constantly teases and looks like he should be a gun but does not deliver consistently. He was putrid in some games this year. 

He looks better in a top team but would not help us much at the moment imo. 

tough call, but I would have picked Heppell in the draft instead

Don't get people thinking Pendles was stiff.  he was below his usual best this year and carried an injury

you dont get in on reputation alone.

People talk about player loyalty, where has club loyalty to the player gone too?   he showed loyalty to stay last year and signed a 5 year deal and next year they tell him he might be traded?

I have liked him, but he has been poor this year - especially when Port needed senior players to stand up.  If we recruit senior players I would prefer mentally tough, strong leaders are recruited.  otherwise keep working on our youth.

port would not accept anything but a first rounder.
