RTG im not trying to be harsh on him but like I said he has very poor skills, poor decision making and poor awareness aswell. He is a battler and thats it. Exactly like Magner was for us. Fill a role for a year or two and hopefully by then some one more talented can take over. Love his work ethic but for me he makes far too many mistakes and is quite slow aswell. We just cannot afford to keep carying blokes like him Terlich, Jetta etc.. They are nothing but just genuine VFL SANFL battlers who aren't up to AFL standard.

The sooner we get Garland in the better chance Geogiou will be out. Look love his work ethic but he has horrible skills and poor decision making aswell. Will always be an honest battler and thats it. Cant afford to keep having blokes like him and Terlich keep turning it over in our back half.

I too was very surprised and so was the Footballing world we had taken him so early. He is every much as a project player has what Machsy mentioned about that guy. Hunt didnt even make the cut for his TAC which is bit of a worry. Played a few bit of school footy here and there and played tennis a bit more. From the footage he is very quick and alright skills but surely he would have last till our rookie draft. I was a Templeton fan and I trully believe its the one that got away. If its not that then its Langdon or Honeychurch aswell. Sick of these picks we keep wasting on smokies aswell.

Im pretty sure last year I read a mini artince on Sinclair saying that we were very interested in him but was a toss up between him and Fitzpatrick and we decided on Fitzy instead?

Awsome work. Keep it up Saty!

James harmes played first two qtrs and already laid 7 tackles.. impressive!

Ahh because Garry Lyon was a former Melbourne champion player that wore number 3.. *facepalm*

Does anyone know if Garry Lyon presented Salem with his jumper before the game?

If thats the case Watts isn't good enough to be in the side and deep down you know it. Two weeks in a row I have seen Watts disgraceful attempt at a chase. Roos says he will cop skill errors but not effort. He hasn't shown effort since round 1. I saw Toumpas in the two games try and chase and put pressure on his opponent. He was seriously stiff to get dropped compared to what Watts is dishing up.

Tom Mcdonald missed a week with a punctured lung in 2012.

Why did he get dropped though.

Obviously you haven't seen Luke Dunstan play.

Poor bloke. Get him right anx healthy. No rush as Dawesy said he is a 10 year player for us.

Agreed Chip will leave at years end. And to be honest we are doing quite well without him down back. But will be a massive loss indeed.

If I was Jimmy Toumpas I would be absolutely livid if jack Watts isn't dropped this week.

Give me guy like Geogiou and Pedersen who bust their ass and show courage over the soft [censored] Jack Watts. One of the most pathetic game from an AFL player I have ever seen. Even in country footy you don't get away with some of those insipid efforts he put out on the weekend.

Great debut from Salem. Looking forward to a full game next week hopefully. A complete footballer that thrives on 1%. I thought Adam Yze had pulled on the boots again. Tough little bugger too.

Which one?

He was also reported on the Hogan injury first and said he was going to miss at least 6 weeks when Dave Misson said he was still a chance for round 1.Turn it up PSD, he was spot on right from the start and our club needs to pull its finger out in keeping us supporters in the loop first instead of hearing it off the footy show.

We bring in more experience with Jamar and Byrnes. I have a feeling Mckenzie days as a footballer are nearly finished.

Hang on a minute..! I started the thread just in regards to why wasn't Hogan name read out on the Dave Mission Injury list.. I thought it was a bit odd thats all. Hows that sensationlising it?

Forgot to add ROK is just as hard at training as is Cross is. Crazy about his diet so would be a valuable leader in driving those standards.

Seems to be on the outer in the same way Crossy was last year. I think we should look at him at years end and grab him on a one year contract as I still feel we are a few experience short of older heads. Nearly at the 300 game mark plus 3 grand final experience and one of the most professional players in the AFL. With the success of Crossy and what he has brought to our side I reckon it wouldn't hurt at all. Obviously the Roos connection is a big plus but I hope we atleast have a chat to him. Could you imagine guys like Toumpas, Tyson, Viney, Barry and hopefully another talented mid plus Stretch looking up to Cross and O'Keefe? PS He actually started his career as a demon playing some reserves footy way back in 1999!

Jono O'Rourke would add class and height to our midfield. Style like Trent Cotchin and pick 2 in the 2012 draft. Ryan O'Keefe just got dropped ast week and seems on the outer like cross was at the bulldogs. Wouldn't hurt to add another 200 plus games and finals experience to our list. Like Cross one of the most professional players in the competition in regards to diets and training ability. Kristian Jaksch. Talented key forward who kicked some big bags for GWS twos last year and is good family friends with the Vineys. Pick 8 I think in the 2012 draft aswell.

Just on that Jeff Farmers missus got on the MFC facebook page and made a comment at how much the Wiz regretted moving to Freo and that he will always be a Demon first. Apparently Freo gave him the heave ho and cut all ties with him even club at functions, where to this day our great club always welcomes him into the rooms and past players over in Perth whenever we play there. In fact last year Wiz was at the training day before the Freo game over there. Players were in absolute awe of him. One of my all time favourite MFC players. Loved him as a kid straight away and still love him to this day. If he had stayed in Melbourne we would have won a grand Final he was seriously so electrifying for us.
