Clarence Oliver
All I think and care about with this kind of comparison (Oliver/Parish), is who would be more likely to be the better player under the heat of a final. And for me, Oliver wins without question. Generally finals and especially grand finals are scrappy contested affairs and Parish is exactly the type of player who'd be caught out in that type of environment. He is 180 cm and will never be in the build of Nathan Jones. He'd purely be relying on the heavy lifters to get the ball out to him and whilst he may have that rare ability to kick a classy goal when it's most needed. Oliver would be right in the coalface from the start making it happen.

Clarry is an extractor and his vision and peripheral awareness reminds me of Mitchell's. He nearly always gives a release handball to the player in most space every time. The fact he possesses that sense of calmness and composure at his age is phenomenal. Petracca is similar when he has the ball in close. Clarry can handball all he likes, it's always to the advantage of his teammates.

At least we got Pederson out of the trade. Rather than pick no. 12,000 like we did for Morton.

Disagree. Let's leave it at that.

That was one of several-hundred.

How about Aish/Toumpas/Morton for a knockout combo?

Nobody is the same. However, as our list stands right now, Tyson is the least versatile of all our mids and his inside work is hardly far and away better than any of Brayshaw, Viney, Jones, Petracca and Oliver. He may be more valuable once Jones retires. But Kelly would be of greater value to us going into the 2017 season. Nobody at our club possesses the running power or class of Kelly. (Hunt has the pace, not the endurance).

The trade was great for us at the time and was a no-brainer. But as our list stands right now, I'd have Kelly over Tyson. Kelly possesses attributes that our midfield sorely lack. And as good as Tyson is inside, we have a plethora of mids who are super strong inside. Would be a dream if were to land him. But I can't see him moving back home anytime soon.

Good call, I've like some of his work this year. Reminds me a bit of Jake Lever in his build. Would happily rookie him.

If we see Garland traded this year, that has surely got to be the biggest fall from grace I've seen from any individual on the back of a three year extension deal. It's a real concern. Him and Dunn. I don't get it.

Here's an idea. Everyone shut the fark up about Heffernan on the Hibberd thread. Best.

[censored] Essendon. I hope we standup and play hardball on this one with Hibberd. I want the MFC to be the club that dictates the play. Too many times have I seen us be bullied by stronger clubs like Essendon. Makes me sick to the stomach.

Edit: Deleted my post as I realised a few of those players were rookie upgrades as people have already pointed out. Shiet.

Nat Fyfe
I know he has said all of that. But I couldn't in my wildest dreams ever see someone like Fyfe leave Freo. He just doesn't seem like the kind of guy to leave. Unless of course he had a fall-out with the club.

Possibly robbed him from a rising star nom also. Was a joke of a decision. Trac-man is showing the signs we all thought he would show. So exciting. As soon as he realises he doesn't have to play on at every opportunity, the better. No doubts about him though. A player you want in finals.

Yeh but his 'technique' hasn't changed from last year to this. So where's the argument going? I didn't hear anything when he kicked 7.1 against St Kilda. Daisy refuses to detail what part of his technique it is that is 'flawed'. And everyone else just seems to say that it looks awkward. Which it does. But again, of what significance is that if last year he had exactly the same technique but was kicking more accurately?
