DistrACTION Jackson

Mate he got asked a question and gave an answer. Did not make one excuse about it, whereas Scott said he didn’t think the game should go ahead, totally different responses. JVR didn’t have an impact on the game and we switched a forward for a forward. He’s a young key position player who is still learning. The only other than we could’ve subbed is Fritsch, but splitting hairs.

We will already be doing that with Schache, Brayshaw, Hunter, Brown, Tomlinson, Smith and maybe TMac… you don’t want to turn over much more than that in one year!

It’s the same as the Petty thing. The journos all say oh they were offering two first round picks, however we never even entertained the trade so how would they know what was actually going to be offered.

Houston is already a whipping boy and he doesn’t even play for us yet

Fair enough. I do take what these journos say with a grain of salt. I think they like to put a bit of mayo on it as that’s their job

You know this for absolute fact?

I think Sam De Koning would be similar to White, though I think white will be better below his knees. I don’t think he has quite the athleticism of Mac Andrew.

Didn’t get to see much in the first half tbh. He took a nice mark on the lead and just missed the goal from about 40m out. Kicking technique looked fine. Didn’t watch the second half. 1st quarter of the other game just finished. White wasn’t too involved playing full back, but he moves really well for a 198cm player.

Agreed. I think he should model his game on Tom Hawkins. Very similar body size at the same age.

Ah-mu is an absolute unit. He will have to build a tank though I think to make it at afl level

I think he re-signed in 2022, which is when he won his second coaches award in a row

The facts are when Dusty signed his long term contract he had 1 club best and fairest and 1 all aus. in comparison Clarry had 3 x bnf, 1 premiership, 2 x all aus and 1 coaches award. He got his 4th bnf, 3rd all aus and 2 coaches award the year he signed.

Don’t bother mate. This forum is going downhill at a rate of knots.

215cm

A new poster....

I also wouldn't recommend he join in the game day thread on Dland.

Will be watching with interest! Kalani White and Tairon Ah-Mu... key position future right there.

I also use memory foam! My back and neck have never been happier.

I definitely feel the full spectrum of being a Melbourne supporter, just ask my girlfriend who usually leaves the living room during the games we watch on TV.... Just don't think it is worth worrying about the pending retirements of Gawn, May and Viney, as much as they are legends of the club! When they do eventually retire we will get salary cap to go out to the market and see what's available. For example, we could find a capable ruck at half the price of Gawn and then use that cap to get another high quality mid. Teams are forever evolving and we will too!

Just making sure! You seem to have a lot of worries

How do you sleep at night?

Wouldn’t be the worst option. He was in JVRs draft as well so would have a few familiar faces.

Tbf to him Casey is a bog ordinary side at the moment so not a huge surprise he hasn’t kicked many goals. Guess we will know at the end of the year if they will give him another year. Seems a bit harsh to bring him in half way through the year and then cut him loose without even doing a pre season.

Think you will find Dusty was 30 when he injured his kidney, Trac is 28. But it could definitely affect him the same or potentially he gets back to his best. It’s all guessing at this point

While our list at the start of the year was third oldest (25.1 average), it’s more important to look at the age of best 22, which we are mid table. We will actually be going down in average age for next year I’d say given the names that will be off our list.
