Why Vandenberg? Still young and potentially could get about 6 to 8 years service out of him if he continues to develop well.

Watched the reply and thought id comment on these two. Newton: Very impressive! His kicking and inside work is something im looking forward to this year and he is already in our best 22. He would have easily had 20 plus possession against freo if he played a full game. Said before i wouldn't be surprised if he had a Dom Tyson/Anthony Miles like year where he takes the competition by storm. Adding him to an already growing midfield of Jones Tyson Viney Vince Brayshaw Toumpas Salem will only make us better. Michie: Was our leading tackler for our team with 7 so just shows he does alot of grunt work that some didn't notice including me so its good to see he is improving his defensive efforts as that was one weakness in his game. I would much rather him playing in the side then a Grimes Jones or Mckenzie.. still think he has alot to offer and i will continue to watch with great interest over the NAB challangen to see how he goes.

So Frost not starting in the backline cost us the game basically?Laughable. It wasn't the fact we also had 4 shots at goal in a row in the last term and did not score at all was it? Or our more senior players like Grimes and Garland continue to make costly mistakes that results in goal.

Not in my best 22 atm until he wins more of the ball. We drafted him as a midfielder and he has had a fully fit pre season so why not push him up to a wing.

This is what happens when you think you know the inner gist of the club Saty and completely shoot down someone that is just putting a opinion forward.Answer: You look like a fool especially when Frost played first half as a key forward.

Toumpas was the 3rd leading tackler for the Dees with 5. I saw him go in hard and lay a couple of good tackles. Still waiting for Jack Watts to do that. Anyway i still have the faith we can still develop him into a good player for us. Its not like he is a Morton Blease Watts that just goes through the emotions, I did see him putting in the hard yards and running hard to provide an option. he will come good.

What

Probably because he does alot of gut running that we don't see on tv. His fitness is fine and is top notch. Nothing wrong with it

Note to all supporters. Never get emotionally attached to AFL players..

One of the big positive for me was the way Hogan crashed the pack which created a spill and a goal to Kent. I haven't seen that since the David Neitz era where he would do this every game.. If thats what we have install for us this year i am going to enjoy seeing the like of JKH Kent and Garlet feed off him. Im calling it now but i think Newton will have a Anthony Miles/Dom Tyson like year this year. Just his class and inside work was fantastic. Add him to an already impressive midfield in Jones,Tyson,Viney,Vince and he will go alright.

Nail on the head moon.

And Terlich finished third.And someone i actually would have over Grimes actually. While he can be poor by foot at times he tries to give us some run and carry and takes the game on.

Mate give it a rest no one has yet to take a liking or any mild interest in your 'Golden Ticket' tripe.

And a good taste for him as a sub. And if that was the Case i would have dropped Jones and upgrade Vandenberg to a full game. Looked so comfortable straight away.

You also did point out and raved to us that Grimes Mckenzie and Matt Jones had improved their kicking skills out of sight.

Moral of the story is me and many other much rather Billy Stretch play then Matt Jones tonight.Coaching staff obviously do team selections and let me tell sometimes they aren't always the right decision. Tonight was one of them

Dont understand why Billy Stretch wasn't given a go today. He has been in impressive form over the summer and i would have rather him play then Matt Jones.

Crossy still has it in him. I trully believe this wont be his last year.

First of all let me say i was gobsmacked when guys who have over 100 games experience are making the most basic simple skill errors! Mark Jamar, Chris Dawes, Jack Grimes and Colin Garland were just atrocious with their skill level. I cannot believe how far back Jack Grimes has gone.. I use to be his biggest fan but he is just so bad with his disposal skill. Will lucky to play 10 games this year. Casey is looming for him. Jamar ffs you just have to kick those..! Dont rate Dawes and never have. Positives is the likes of Hogan, Newton, Tyson, Toumpas, Kent, Michie, Frost, Vandenberg showing the way with glimpse and just need more games into them. Lumumba and Nathan Jones were best on for us and i thought Garlett gave us a real spark when he moved into the midfield. There were alot of positives but these guys who are ment to be leading the way were way below par.

Your a spud Jamar

PFFT same old Melbourne of 2014. One qtr of no goals at all. Haven't seen one bit of improvement.

Give it rest FFS!!

Delete this thread please

Meh and saty was telling us Bail and Grimes had improved their kicking and we had no idea because some didn't get to training..

Wow we are very very sloppy...
