  1. Mate you're a troll and have no idea what you're even talking about..
  2. I can see Oscar carving out a solid career in the same vein as Tom Lonergan. Dour solid defender who'll get the job done every week, but probably not the recognition he deserves externally. Enjoying Oscar's development this year. Thumbs up to Simon Goodwin for having the confidence in him each week when most wanted him dropped and developed in the VFL.

    There'd be a fair few of them around..
  4. I will be happy once he signs the dotted line.. for now, it' just s headline trying to sell papers.
  5. Dylan Crimes, Mitch Morton, Steven Armstrong, Trent West... Front seat passengers of a premiership side. Grimes is a hack.
  6. Absolutely we should be targeting Gaff and Sloane.
  7. I should add that I was completely and utterly excited/shocked when he fell into our lap at our first pick. To have clubs rate him a top 10 and potential top 5 pick if it wasn't for injury is a HUGE bargain. Don't be put off by his size.. the kid has what it takes to make it at the top level. Go get em Spargs!
  8. 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.
  9. Was excited about this pick last night, but after watching those highlights I'm super confident Jason Taylor has found another beauty! Funnily enough he reminds me a lot of our very own Jake Lever.
  10. What a crook and [censored] deal! Club never ceases to amaze me how we just cave in so easily! Not happy!!?
  11. Nick Bowen @Nick_Bowen Adelaide and Melbourne list management officials have arrived at AFL House. Lever deal seems imminent.
  12. 1st and 2nd round!? argh...
  13. Will apparently request a trade as early as today to the Dees.
  14. I see Jakes dad Alan has settled in real well over in one of the MFC facebook pages! Welcome to the Dees Jake.
  15. Interestingly I have also read this somewhere as well. And unfortunately I heard it was us that didn't go down well.. Hope it's not true??
  16. He has NO runs on the board. He's NEVER gotten one right. The moment you have a slight disagreement with him, he blocks you or turns to personal insults.
  17. Clarry will win the BnF this year... by a country mile. While some of our more senior players are starting to tire out, Clarry is hitting a rich vein of form the past couple of weeks.
  18. Get it done Dees!

    Interviewed really well by every other club bar Collingwood. Told them he'd never set foot in that club ever due to the Treatment of his father. So in other words yes, told them to GAGF.

    Heard a very interesting story about young Zac at the draft camp when interviewed by Collingwood lol.
  21. We're front runners according to Barrett https://www.triplem.com.au/sport/afl/news/damian-barrett-names-a-possible-frontrunner-for-jake-lever
  22. Very very interesting that hes moved to Melbourne now..
