  1. If we throw all of our top draft picks into the deal to land Kennedy then I'll...I'll ...I'll .. stop submitting my weekly 3 word player analysis. Seriously, risking everything on 1 player would be a total catastrophe, and reeks of desperation. Surely Roos cannot expect our current list plus Garlett , ( possibly Lumumba and Frost ) to make any significant inroads just by adding Kennedy!!
  2. Head of StKilda's recruiting gave the impression on SEN this afternoon that Petracca was their man
  3. I was privileged to have met Robbie a number of times both when he was still playing and afterwards when he was a businessman. At all times he was the most humble, unassuming, and polite gentleman. His statue must be the next to be erected outside the MCG , ideally somewhere adjacent to the wing that he invariably 'owned'.
  4. Anyone with the name Cockatoo must cause anguish amongst those Dees' supporters who are old enough to remember
  5. Played 23 games this year for a team that finished 3rd on the ladder .. he can play
  6. Yes, and he played 23 games in a team that finished 3rd on the ladder !!DO THE DEAL!!!!!
  7. Brett Anderson reporting on SEN that Varcoe for Clark deal will be done first thing on Monday
  8. Lol.. so because I didn't play top level AFL football I'm not entitled to have my opinion about crappy footballers? Give me a break!!! And just so you know, I WAS once considered a good enough junior footballer to be asked to do a pre season with Stkilda
  9. I'm NEVER one to exaggerate or overstep the mark! Ok, ok , maybe I did treat him too harshly in my grading ( or is that degrading) of him , but he was a useless footballer and only Bode, Weetra, Mahoney, and Grgic have been worse, in my memory. And before anyone gets stuck into me for my callous criticism of him , let me point out that I've been a Demons' fan and member for 49 years, and seen more crappy Melbourne players than I care to remember. Furthermore, up until a few years ago I'd even argue that I've seen more Melbourne games than virtually anyone here, so I'm entitled to make ludicrous judgement calls as I see fit!
  10. Was probably one of the worst footballers ever to represent the club , so it's pleasing to see that he found his place in life
  11. 1- N.Jones 2 - Tyson 3 - Vince 4 - McDonald 5 - Dunn 6 - Cross 7 -Pedersen 8 - Jamar 9 - Jetta 10 Watts / Howe
  12. Personally I agree about Jetta.. much overrated here
  13. N.Jones - the supreme performer Grimes - never got going Hogan - weight of expectation Salem - adulation was unwarranted Watts - year's greatest disappointment Toumpas - couldn't gain momentum Dawes - stagnated after brilliance Viney - failed to inspire Frawley - dependable and versatile Trengove - cruelled by injury Byrnes - failed to deliver Clark - no comment necessary Tyson - performances belied inexperience McKenzie - tagger without skills Dunn - found his niche Clisby - couldn't find mojo Kent - teased and faltered Blease - disappointed us all Cross - made his mark Strauss - couldn't impress selectors Garland - seen better years Pedersen - rejuvenated and reinvented Michie - injuries curtailed advancement Vince - professional and skilled Kennedy - Harris - early exciting form McDonald - was rarely beaten Nicholson - papers are marked Riley - rough and ready Hunt - the jury's out Evans - little to show Barry - improver , but raw Tapscott - little to impress Gawn - never gathered momentum Howe - talented but lazy Jamar - worthy but slowing Spencer - work in progress Bail - just filling in M.Jones - showed average skills Terlich - the turnover specialist Fitzpatrick - rarely utilised height Jetta - feel good story Georgio - surprisingly sparingly used Harmes - impressed Casey regulars King - jury is out
  14. N.Jones - workhorse, as expected Watts -better , still frustrating Dawes -passion, little purpose Viney -passion ,poor decisions Frawley - passionless , serviceable game Tyson - prolific, slow thinking McKenzie - dedicated, skill deprived Dunn - was soundly destroyed Kent - revealed undoubted talent Cross - limited but professional Michie - has some talent Vince - loved his attitude McDonald - passionate and willing Riley - ferocious but rough Barry - eat some food Gawn - unsighted before injury Howe - failed to inspire Jamar - tried but failed Bail - only occasion involvements M.Jones - what's his purpose? Fitzpatrick - waste of height Jetta - loose but dedicated
  15. 6 - Vince ( a class ahead of anyone else in our team this game) 5 - Tyson ( intelligent footballer who amassed heaps of possessions , but infuriatingly seems to encounter mental blocks) 4 - McDonald ( hates to lose , has passion, but needs to master his foot skills) 3 - Kent ( a break out game too late to build momentum on ) 2 - N.Jones ( workhorse, who was prolific but not a standout ) 1 - Cross ( sad we have to play him, but age hasn't wearied)
  16. N.Jones - 30+ mostly hard fought possessions , and you gave 6 players votes before him ?????
  17. 6 - N.Jones ( by a street ) 5 - Cross ( slow, but makes up for it with nous) 4 - Vince ( for weight of possessions ) 3 - Tyson ( plenty of possessions but has become soooo slow to move the ball on ) 2 - Dunn ( for trying and taking the game on ) 1 - Bail ( for trying and taking the game on )
  18. N.Jones - carbon copy game Salem - had little impact Watts - nothing of note Dawes - waste of space Viney - disposal was amateurish Frawley - tried but failed Tyson - rarely hurt opposition Dunn - performed task admirably Kent - was rarely sighted Cross - professional tagging role Garland - excellent until injured Pedersen - made little impression Michie - rarely hurt opposition Vince - prolific and cared McDonald - loose and erratic Gawn - little to commend Howe - lazy and loose Jamar - end of era Bail - tried but limited M.Jones - has no tricks Fitzpatrick - 2 minute game Jetta - slow and loose
  19. Good luck in your endeavours
