Yes. Then you have muppets like Tom Rockcliff(good ex teammate of mine and a pretty simple dude) who think otherwise.

You're not on your own. They're massive watch for me. I still think we're better team and can get them when they fade during quarters. Their midfield can certainly match up to ours. I thought Cripps was going to be cooked this year but he's gone to another new level. The likes of Kennedy, Cerra (still dirty we didn't gave the have trade capital last year) Walsh and Hewett has the potential to be quiet potential for the next few years. I like their forward line. Both Curnow and McKay are stars. Both are still only 25 and have many years left which is scary. Our current forward line of Brown and McDonald are both nearly 30 years of age and coming towards the end of their careers so it's a little concerning we have no up and coming talls coming through except Jacob Van Rooyen who is yet to be tested at AFL level. Their defence is shaky and if they can add another gun defender alongside Weitering then they'll be set. He's the next best defender behind Steven May. Carlton is the only club I fear come September. Their significant bigger fan base is like a 23rd man. They'll certainly come in numbers..

Riley Beveridge has predicted Jack Viney to replace Jake Melksham and Bedford to be on stand by in case Langdon is a late out. No mention of Dunstan.

He'd be at Casey.

Pretty sure we tried to get him over at the end of 2018 but he declined. No thanks.

[censored] em. No sympathy from me. Same North Melbourne that had Brent Harvey running around for them giving cheap shots, same North Melbourne that even their own supporters laughed at us during the dark times and same North Melbourne that beat us back in 1998 in the preliminary final (still dirty about that final system).

Don't think that has remotely anything to do with wrestling.

They went extremely quiet after that game..

I must be way behind.. I'm still at the part where St Kilda were going to finally end our streak and stamp themselves as the new premiership contender?

Ironic thing is Darcy Parish had 43 disposals on Saturday night against Richmond. Yet didn't even poll a coaches vote. Stark contrast..

He was an All Australian under 16 team member playing majority as an on baller. What a lot don't realise is that he was a dominant junior player as playing as an on baller was his natural position.

Please sign a 10 year deal.

That's great to hear. I wonder if how he feels now supporting the Saints over the Dees?

He was Goody's assistant coach at Adelaide from 2005 onwards.

Agree. It's time media really start to realise that Oliver is having a significant better season then Petracca. Trac still getting the hype where as there isn't not enough praise on Oliver.

Well agree to disagree on this. I'd offer more but then I'm just a broken record as I've offered far more in depth opinion on this in the past. Can't be [censored] writing a big essay on this. What we both agree with on this is we don't have Melksham in our best 22 team. I'll leave it on that.

Coughing and sneezing killed me the most...

My opinion is I felt he didn't execute his role because im not even sure what his role was on the day. I kept close eye on him from where i was sitting and i saw nothing that suggest he executed whatever he was suppose to do well enough . That's purely not knowing what happens inside the 4 walls. Coaching staff probably are the complete opposite and thought he played his role extremely well and were satisfied. We both may never know? I mean, how do you know executed his role? I don't know why you're getting defensive? Lol I'm genuinely just trying to have a football discussion with you around what his actual role on the day was.

LOL. Bro, I'm only wanting some clarity around what his actual role on the day was. You sounded so confident in your first post that he executed his role well enough so that I can understand a little bit better why he didn't do much on the weekend. But you actually dont know, and it was based on your opinion only. That's fine, that makes more sense now. Its great to have opinions 'Covid Dan' 😘......

I take all things into account with people having lives and footy not being a priority. Certainly thrilled to do the 4 and 1/2 drive just to watch the lads having a free weekend of having no footy commitments. I also understand from @old dee point of view earlier on that it does get harder as you get older in life in getting to games with the difficulty of ticketing and general stuff. Still think the whole stadium excuse is a bit of a cop out. We're not going to be a superior top 4 side forever. Might as well make the most of it now and enjoy the ride while we can.

So then why state that he played a role when you just admitted that you're not sure what his actual role is because you're not inside the team? If you're able to back up what he executed on the day then maybe I'll sway a little on my opinion on him but on the naked eye on the day he was simply poor for a senior player. I know we have our own views of what a role player is but I was genuinely confused what his role were on the day having kept a close eye. I know he went on the wing when Langdon went down but he barely offered any offensive attack nor did he have a hand on our link up play. He'll play on the weekend because they'll want him to get to 200 games but after that I don't want him in a Melbourne jumper unless we are dealt with a significant injury list.

He seems like a raw talent with huge amount of potential. Having watched a few Casey (all live streamed) he's certainly got a few AFL quality traits that would hold up well at AFL. I would be wrapped if we were able to snare him through the rookie draft. It's blokes like Steele that would thrive in a full time AFL environment same way as what Bayley Fritsch who was also a very raw prospect when he first started put at Casey back in 2015. Trained a couple of times with the MFC squad over the pre season so they're certainly keeping an eye on him.
