Chasing Darcy Parish? Sounds like a good title for the George Pell biopic

Frequently dropping it too. Has Bull ever worn a glove? Might seem like an obvious and dumb idea, but.. just maybe it could give him a little edge in "catching" them like McGovern does with his sticky hands. Borrow Jayden's, he surely doesn't need em!

A few posters on the forum have suggested we give Viney lot more minutes up forward to apply defensive pressure and crumb. Which gives more time for Brayshaw to flourish as a pure inside mid where he was dominant last year. What do you think?

Hogan to kick 6 on May and hammer the final nails to seal our 2019 season coffin. The most fitting finale of all.

Dayam, this one didn't last long!

Though this could be used to argue for OR against a trade. For being that elite level is the only value that could bring in a Whitfield type player.

I did that too! I just cant be bothered anymore. Said it a few months ago that we need to put together the value that can net us a Whitfield type player and will need to trade one of our good players. I don't care how it's done and i don't really want to debate whether it should be Brayshaw or whoever either. Footy isn't worth stressing over currently.

May v Hogan should be a ripper

OMac is going to kick 50 in the next 10 games

Out of contract at the end of the year. Brayshaw for Billings? And then a first round pick swap because the Saints won't want to lose Billings. So pick 2 or 3 for their pick 3 or 4 ?

We've been the Melbourne Even-Years for all but 1 of the years i've barracked for them.

The only misery for me is Gold Coast not giving up that bottom position. If we're going to lose the majority of our games from here on in, it would be nice to finish last on 6 or so wins. Cmon Suns/Blues, go on a big 2nd half run.

I think you're bang on Matsuo. Goodwin is definitely in the top 18 for coaching IQ's for the entire country. A good achievement. However if you're not pushing into the top 5-10 within 3 or so years you'll end up being dumped from the 18 soon enough.

I still have mental images of him in our 2018 heavy loss to them with that arrogant gloating grin saying crap to our forwards. It's just the pathetic left over dregs of that premiership era on display now. They could bully but back it up with scintillating footy, but now it's just bullying without any bite. Garbage captain.

They're embarrassing to watch repeat the same mistakes over and over. And with how transparent and one dimensional the game plan is, would be embarrassing to lose to. You get a sense now that the opposition are so ON to what we're doing that it would be considered a major coaching failure by any of the 17 other clubs if they were to lose to us.

Let's try another hail mary but this time with Oscar McDonald at full forward instead of Tom ?

Though he's not half hearted when he argues with the umpires. Looks more interested in proving to the umpire that he's correct, than getting on with it.

Hannan is a player that has always gone missing for large stretches of matches, like JKH, and has fallen into the 'better player while not playing' genre of players that some fans think we need to get into the team to turn our fortunes around. Meanwhile players who they want out, like Spargo are consistently getting to the ball and in on most of the action all day and so highly visible mistakes are bound to be made.

I must've said the word "embarrassing" about 20 times during that much.

Tried to watch GWS vs Adel which was apparently the game of the round so far. [censored] boring. Sacrilege around here to mention it but the NBA playoffs have been x10 as entertaining. Warriors down 1-3, it's glorious.

Are you watching the finals? Toronto has been incredible so far. Happy to support the non-warriors/kd team even with the Aussie Bogart in it. GSW=Hawthorn from 2013-15 to me. 3-1. I really hope they close out the series now. Leonard has been incredible in the field. I know KD is not in the team, but the way they've attacked with the extra pass to a 3 point line, or to a pick n roll with Siacam or Gasol. What a team. I really want them to win, but i kind of at the same time, dont want there to be 1 game left in the season. 3 more would be ace with Leonard hitting a 3 in game 7 at the buzzer lol

He's still an improvement on JKH, who has only managed to play 6-8 games per year since his debut season when spots were easier to retain. He's a fringe player that is pushed out of the team within 2-3 weeks maximum and usually gets 3-4 goes at it per year. He's had his chances in years gone by and should be the first player to be omitted when better players return, if he's playing his standard quiet game before omission and we have a good opponent to play. I think this is just a classic case of a players reputation growing because they're not in the team and away from the crosshairs of fans.

Spargo played well last year, he was an important link up cog between the mids and forwards. Jeffy was dropped last year all year, which shows you how Goodwin values that kind of link up player that plays a role. He's not playing as well this year, as he hasn't had enough quality around him to be that icing on the cake player. I think he will get better as the team gets stronger personally. I guess we have differing opinions on his value last year.

Odd. Anyway my point is that Spargo is in his 2nd year and needs to be played in a big game to see if he can flourish and how that will aid his development. We haven't seen his ceiling. The other two have had enough chances and have shown a very low ceiling imo.
