    I'm not sure what you're meaning.
  2. This is the most ridiculous sentiment imaginable. They need to do if for each other. By extension the whole club will rejoice.
  3. Yes, I could, but then I wouldn't be me. Btw, your last sentence makes you sound like a drongo.
  4. The bloke should be in his absolute prime, he's just had a massive kick up the backside from the club he didn't want to leave, and he's just had his statistically worst year since 2010. He has the heart of a grape seed. Lovely bloke, but footy just isn't that important to him. Some players would kill their Grandmother to get to the footy, but Jack would pass her an Iced VoVo.
  5. Great post @Fifty-5 Unfortunately, idiots are going to idiot.

    My view on Frost is the same as Simon Goodwin's. He was a last resort, which is why he spent most of the year at Casey. He's playing well and as long as he plays within his many limitations he'll walk off the ground having played his role. I don't see him as a long-term solution. And I doubt my mate Goody does either.

    Melbourne
  8. I'm one of the 70% @Ethan Tremblay

    Apparently there was a poll by a Dees forum on Facebook asking supporters who should play against West Coast out of Pedersen or Weideman. Pedersen was chosen by 70% of supporters. It merely confirmed my long-held views. Most Melbourne supporters are clueless about footy.

    Had a great year.

    He showed he's an AFL quality tall forward.
  12. Get the ice out of there...
  13. Do Freo have one last game in them next week in Perth ? Can they redeem themselves after yesterday's horrible loss ? If we win our final two games, which I think we can, we'll be top 4 if Freo beat Collingwood at home. Unlikely, but not impossible.
  14. He just needs to play his role, which is compete in the air, don't get out-marked, bring the ball to ground, and present to the ball carrier. And hopefully make the most of a few opportunities.
  15. Of course, man. It goes without saying we're rubbish too. This is obvious and not needing to be stated. When you can't beat rubbish teams it's pretty obvious you're rubbish too. But when you're younger than every other top 8 team, when you're the no.1 contested team in the AFL, when you're the no.2 ground-ball get team, when you're the no.2 centre clearance team, when you're the no.1 goal assist team, and when you're the highest scoring team you have ENORMOUS upside. It's kinda the point...
  16. Sydney are rubbish and we should have won. Port are rubbish and we should have won. Geelong are rubbish and we should have won. I can't remember another era with so many rubbish top 8 teams. Ever West Coast are rubbish and we should win. I believe we will. Time to flex a little bit of muscle and show we belong in the finals.
  17. Fantasy Freako‏ @FantasyFreako 53m53 minutes ago Port's off-season recruitment drive has been a failure. Watts (worst season since 2010) and Rockliff (worst since 2009) based on ranking points. Motlop just so, so. #AFLPiesPower
  18. He's averaging 13.9 disposals and 1 goal per game. I suppose miracles do happen.
  19. Thankfully, it appears to be caught relatively early. It's not the end of the world. Rejig and make the forward-line less predictable. McDonald plus a slew of midsizers in Melksham, Hannan, Fritsch, Petracca, plus ANB, Spargo, etc., or give Weideman his shot. Our problem isn't getting it forward, so all is not lost. This isn't a flag year anyway. Hopefully Hogan, Lever, and Viney can have injury free years in 2019 as we hopefully start taking the next step. Hogan hasn't been moving well for weeks and I doubt you suddenly get sore overnight, so it may explain what's been going on.
  20. I don't get much mail and I'm careful to share unless it's impeccable. And it is. Hannebery met with Goodwin early in the year and was rapt the Dees had interest. He's happy to stay at Sydney, but was keen to entertain the idea of coming home and playing with the Dees. And it was the MFC in particular that excited Dan, because he rates our list and future. We may have now gone cold for the reasons mentioned by the OP, but this was most definitely 'on'.
  21. My claims to leadership ? I have a PHD in Leadership my dearest picket. Send me a pm and I'll link you to my website. As for Jones ? In all my time watching him I've never seen him drag us over the line in a game. Ever. I think he's been good with his off-field leadership, but he offers nothing from an on-field leadership perspective. Nothing at all.
  22. Once again Jones doesn't stand up. He's a dumb and limited footballer, and he's certainly a poor onfield leader.
  23. Goody hasn't been wrong this year with his playing predictions. When I saw Picket had the inside word that there may be a late change I knew we were all good to go.
  24. Just use the ignore function and put me on it. I have about 20 posters on ignore and it works a treat. Until, they're quoted.
