  1. Does anyone remember painting goal posts on their dad's shed?
  2. I think this thread illustrates how much we are in need of a feel-good story after the battering we have been taking.
  3. Tayla is the best 'high' mark in the comp. She is one of the best kicks for distance. She is an exceptional athlete. When she hits, she hits hard! She stays!
  4. Lachie Hunter, MFC Comparitive Stats 2023 Kicks #4th, HB #4th, Disp. #4th, Marks #6th, Inside 50's #3rd, Clearances #7th, Contested Poss. #6th
  5. The under-valuing of Hunter amazes me!

  7. Brian Wilson was 29 by the time he left Melbourne Jeff White was 31 by the time he retired
  8. Laurie Fowler Garry Baker Anthony Ingerson Clint Bizzell Ricky jackson Marcus Seecamp Jef Garlett Alan Johnson Allan Jakovitch
  9. Most of this lot are considerably younger than Billings, so I wouldn't be offloading just yet!

    I can't buck the nagging feeling that we are being set up for a prime-time draft scoop!

    Yes, dazzle, another lesson on Media 'truth'. A little editing tweak here and there can create a different perspective altogether!

    I've definitely changed my mind set after this interview. I'm no longer counting on Petty being our long-term answer to our key forward needs. I am confident we can cover him as a key back... Turner, Tomlinson, Adams. I'm now on the 'get us another gun key forward' bandwagon!
  13. waynewussell replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I agree with you!
  14. Pretty sure he won't have to change guernsey number!
  15. Sparrow is a Premiership player who went to a new level in the latter part of 2023. The fact that you obviously are oblivious to these developments makes it difficult to agree with your wider views on player worth!

    I've spent some time at the Brisbane Showgrounds... its a very small oval for AFL games... would need major reconstruction to be even considered.

  18. You may be right, but here's a more complete picture that includes young players who seem to have a future 21 Jacob van Rooyen Blake Howes Taj Woewodin 22 Jud McVee Andy Moniz-Wakefield Mathew Jefferson Jed Adams
  19. Apparently they want Trac, a future first and tickets to the Olympics for their whole list! KC said Melbourne would be stupid to ignore this deal because our future first will probably want to go home immediately he finds out about our poor culture.

    The ground measured 142 x 155m fence-to-fence.

    Kane should leave SEN immediately! He will never be worth as much as he is now... I'm sure Adelaide Radio, 101.5, would put him on a contract just to shut him up!
  22. They lost me as soon as I got to "Kane Cornes said..."

    and so are you, it seems!

    So you'd be in your mid-thirties and enjoy the rural lifestyle...
  25. In the 35 games prior to the "All duck and no dinner" game, Langdon averaged 22 disposals per game. In the 35 games after that game, leading up to this year's QF against Collingwood, Langdon averaged 20 disposals per game. So the fact is he has been nearly as effective as he was before the comments were made and I think the effect of the comments has been grossly overstated in the Media. I suggest the slight drop in Langdon's average is related to the acquisition of Hunter and the alternative Hunter provides.
