The big positive from today for me was Angus Brayshaw effort in the midfield.

Weideman just the 2 handball for the whole 2 qtrs.. Starting to believe he's bit of a bust..

[censored] off mate

This is getting old now.. they give you nothing. In your head it seems they do, but they don't.

Gawn? Anyone can dominate the hitouts against Nankervis, but Gawn was absolute shithouse with his hitouts always going down a tiger throat. I lost count the amount of times he and Martin made connection st the stoppages.

JKH has been a major disappointment.. last year he was a ball magnet and was dominating at VFL level. Now he can barely get a touch. Tim Smith is interesting.. named on the extended bench and then goes out and gets BOG. Will surely come into consideration next week .

Will be delisted at the end of the year.

Oh... no wonder I'm had no [censored] idea what he was rambling on in the other thread..

Absolutely stoked about this! I feel he is one that'll play better and more suited to the more quicker tempo of AFL rather then the VFL.. And just quickly, I've had a bit to do with young "Spargs" and I posted this back early January this year. Gday guys, on one of the training thread there's been a few doubts on young Charlie about his size and whether he can translate his ability to AFL level. Thought I'd bring this thread up and have my 2 cents worth. Just on Spargo, I had a bit to do with him when he was in the under 16s bushies . I didn't bother to write anything up on him when we drafted him (lack of interest in demonland at the time) but I thought I'd post my thought a on him now. Goody is going to fall in love coaching this young fella, he is 18 years old going onto 25 in terms of maturity and level headed. He was driven right from the very young age to succeed in footy and make AFL. He started playing senior footy for Albury in the strong Ovens and Murray league (step below VFL) at 16 and was still running rings around former AFL players with such ease. It was tipped right from then that this kid could potentially be the next big thing despite his size. He was quick, tough as F**k, and most importantly, driven and determined to make it. Despite being a quiet and down to earth sort of fella, he just oozes leadership on field! We played a praccy match against Bendigo once and he was captain for the day. The whole day he was barking orders, setting up midfield stoppages, encouraging teammtes, and giving direct feedback to coaching and senior officials on what was going right and wrong. He'll be in the leadership group in a couple of years. Mark my words. Obviously being in boarding school this year I barely got time to see any of his games (injured also). But we got word back from some recruiters that if it wasn't for injury he would be top 10 without a doubt. 3 clubs had even made mentioned that if he was just a smidge taller and injury free, they had penciled him for top 5. Every club rated him and the giants were absolutely filthy when they lost first rights to him. He is a genuine talent. If I was to compare him to someone in terms of toughness, leadership and skill? it would be Joel Selwood. He has everything that you need in terms of the culture you're trying to build and set. Yes I've pumped up his tyres, but the biggest test for him will be the transition to AFL level. The likes of Caleb Daniel and Eddie Betts have shown that it is possible if you've got the ticker and drive to succeed. I believe young Spargo has this. The likes of Jones, Viney, Oliver and Lewis will crave having this kid in the side running full tilt into packs and come out ball in hand. I don't want to put too much pressure on the kid but in my honest opinion, he is an absolute beauty! Hope that helps.

What??

How the FK do Harmes and Nibbler keep their spots!?

Disgraceful thread

Dunn and Howe would still make a huge difference to our side.. the fact we gave up Howe for absolute peanuts shows how poor our list management been.. The two 1st round picks for lever is the topping point for me.

Club caves in as usual and sold the farm.. and now it's going to cost us come draft time. The need for a outside player with speed has been glaring and we've just potentially bullen thst chance by off loading our 1st round draft pick.

Would it actually hurt to play him in his natural position.

Club is a dead set joke!! We've gone backwards.. Oliver, Oscar and Hogan are the only ones who've improved from last year.. Max Gawn has been hitting down opposition throats all year, we continue to play old washed up veterans who are passed it in Vince and Lewis.. the list goes on.. Lost for words..

Did we just take the Mark Neeld game plan of just slowly kicking it down the line??

Stretch and Nibbler killed all our momentum with those crucial fumbles!!

And there's the ball game..

Jesus what the hell has happened to Stretch and Neal Bullen!??

We're simply not a top 8 side. No where near it. We carry so many VFL standard players in Wagner, ANB, Harmes who just lack any sort of class. I've never seen a side like melbourne fumble so much in a game. We're long way off.

Melksham is doing it by himself up forward. He needs help! Well done melk!

Neal bullen you [censored]

You are a [censored] Gawn. Your goal mate.

Brayshaw is useless
