In fairness Lord a lot of those news that you had highlighted were well broken by media outlets on social media before it got on here. The Luke Jackson one for example was broken first by Callum Twomey well before you confirmed it mate. Jennings and McCartney story was also first broken by Tom Browne on talking footy before any of us knew about it including yourself. I'll try not to derail this thread at all but regarding the changes. I am happy with all except Smith. I wished Jetta or Lockhart had come in for him. But hoping with a bit more speed we can really use our outside runners now more often.

No

No McDonald. Very interesting.

Goodwin's mate.

Wasn't it mentioned on here that Bennell was being managed and would be back for the Freo game?

Frosty ???

Any idea who comes in Titan?

I wouldn't either Pickett.

Yep let's keep reminding of some classic Olisik quotes from 10 months ago regarding Serong. "Another contested inside beast who looks slow. Should be a lock for pick 3 you would" "I can’t stress enough on the importance of drafting more inside mids with bad skills who are slow". "Taking Serong would be a disaster".

Steven May

Can't see us making finals. We are cooked.

You're kidding right? Viney isn't a captains [censored]. One of the most selfish players on our list and only has one thought during games and that's himself. I know Goody doesn't have the balls to do it, but he should be dropped on performance alone. Has been poor the last several weeks. Best decision the club made was taking the captaincy off him. Shouldn't even got it in the first place.

Ben did a great job asking the questions. Max on the other hands response was pathetic.

Yeah i try not to post too much on 'Jim' to be honest Redleg, because i know him well through my younger brother who is one of his good mates and also through Yarrawonga Football Club and local cricket. I've personally detached myself from a lot of chatter regarding Jordon because of the bias connection. What I do know is that the club is wrapped with his development. He was a bit of an unknown raw kid who's talent was noticed more through school footy where he dominated with his hardness and ability to break the lines and use the footy. His professionalism and attention to detail is why he is one of the most coachable kids on our list At this minute I must admit I am still scratching my head on why the club has a fascination in trying to turn him into an inside mid. In my opinion he plays his best football on a wing or half back. He spreads and gets out onto space well and that's where his strengths are best utilised with his ability to drill low flat 40m passes onto the leading forward. Instead we are trying to turn him into an inside beast on top of Brayshaw, Viney, Oliver, Petracca, Sparrow and Harmes. Tell me who he gets a game in front of those guys? Sparrow perhaps, but he's more physically developed and suited to his natural inside role. We are a team screaming for outside pace and kicking skills, and yet we have someone who has the potential to play that role perfectly on a wing or half back, and instead we programming him to be an inside mid... its just mind boggling. Look I haven't spoken to anyone recently from Yarra regarding Jordon's progress for a while. But my understand is that he's developing really well and if it wasn't for him injuring his hand, i think we would have seen him debut when Sparrow hurt his shoulder.

Its not so much keeping Dunny, but having a development tall or two just in the wings. I know we have Petty, but I see him more as a forward.

Jesus I thought I was brutal lol

Yep. Agree 100%

How's the back peddling?

Haha what an embarrassment.

Jordon was originally drafted as an outside mid. Even when he was playing at Yarrawonga seniors, he was alternating between wing and half forward because of his kicking skills. Gets to Melbourne and was gobsmacked that Goodwin was training him to be an inside mid. That's On Goodwin, not Taylor.

You're embarrassing yourself big time. You kicked and screamed that you wanted Pickett, we got him and now you're trying to do a runner because it doesn't suit your current narrative because some other kid is getting a bit more of the footy. Where was this post few weeks ago against Hawthorn? Or Adelaide when he got the rising star nomination? Oh that's right, you went missing as usual, back in that little hole that you live under the ground. Go troll on your own supporter board at Collingwood.

Quotes from Olisik regarding the Pickett thread from July last year. We need to look at this kid as a second round pick up. Exactly what we need Sorry, back to Kysiahah Pickett. Get this kid on the list. In the second clip I posted you can see he can tackle to. Compared to Cyril Rioli and also is a Cousin to our own Nev Jetta which should squash any go-home factor fears. If we split for pick 17, we must pull the trigger

Hahahha.. the guy is a spanner alright. What's ironic is that Olisik was the same muppet that started the Kysiah Pickett thread in July last year stating how badly this club needed to draft him etc. Raved on about him

Oh ffs, this is why I hate when we lose. You get [censored] morons like Olisik who come out of the woodwork after every single loss and start rubbish threads like this.

Yeah i think that's lights out for this year unfortunately. 2017 all over again.
