Didn't realise he was 27, bugger that then, if he hasn't clicked on yet how to play a team game forget it!

Hard not to argue with those points, but at pick 50 or whatever for eg may be worth a swoop, even pick 30. Considering we have depth issues he'd be an upgrade on what we have? Anyway, just brought it up as Dew has dropped him

I raise this guy... Polled 9 brownlow votes in first 3 games last year before being dropped by Eade late in the year, now Dew has dropped him again with issues about his defensive side. Has credentials we are wanting, skills and speed and attacking player. I'd try to get him at EOY. Thoughts fellas?

Garlett for ANB also please.

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback - interesting.

Maybe the ladder is there for inspiration! For eg: climb the bastard! Or perhaps, win the next 5 and see how many rungs we climb up the ladder! Or we need a percentage boost to climb the ladder..... lol

Has all the credentials of a future star, just looks like he’s cruising, hoping he doesn’t turn out to be another Sylvia. Still a kid so am patient but just noticing a few things that’s all. If Salem can ever get a decent run at it he’ll be very important for us, HBF is his position. Surprisingly goes pretty hard at it too.

Dees by 84. Negotiations for a bronze statue of Goodwin outside the MCG start. Hogan and Tom McDonald sign on for 10 year contracts for $100,000 per season in hope for success.

Think there was a rule change in the off season due to what Maxwell was going at GWS. Others may offer their research though

Just on Petracca, am I the only one who thinks he’s stuck in cruse mode/second gear?

Credit to whoever got the backline going in the last couple of weeks, seems they’ve all clicked including Jake. 10 year player, just hope he shows a little more composure with his kicking is all, just seems a little rushed but no doubting his courage and endeavour

I just the game is played with far too many handballs these days, the fastest way forward and out of congestion is to kick it. It’s currently a game of hot potato. Can anyone look up what the kick to handball ratio was in say 2000 v 2018? Footy was much better to watch then. And stop recruiting players who are either athletes or wildcards, pick bloody footballers who can think their way through and actually dispose properly.

Great r search mate. I think the OOB could be a goer but haven’t watched any SANFL games last two years, I hear it’s first year was a success though.

Also last one to touch it OOB is a free kick against would work as it’d take away all the boundary throw in congestion also. Does any here follow SANFL and how this rule is working? Plenty of ideas, just how much we want to stuff with rules I suppose.

Go back to how the game was played in the 90’s and get back to basics. Maybe reduce players to 3 on the bench and cap rotations to 10pq, with no banking. But then if players are more tired do their skills get worse? Currently the skills league wide are the worst I’ve ever seen. Tough one. Maybe the 6 forwards and back can’t go past the centre line. Need more time to think about it

Maybe WJ thinks Omac is playing that well he’s worth two players!

Agree with all of that

Not sure if you’ve watched any saints games but their skills have been deplorable to be honest

He’s had an unlucky run, just when he was starting to build again

Collingwood has Pendles, Treloar and Sidebottom- their best 3 players playing. Dees had 2 of our best 5 players out including our captain

ANB 0

There are two Oscar McDonalds for second week in a row, 29 and 14?

Not a bad idea, keeps him in the game and makes him accountable, I like it.

Yep it is mate, others told me, my mistake just saw it was a home game at the G. Might fly up for it

All depends which Melb turn up mate and how were coached. Not getting my hopes up that’s for sure as it always leads to disappointment
