    The other thing I take out of that article is what a poor job the AFL have done at promoting the Giants in Sydney. 1.34 million supporters compared to 0.2 million supporters. No doubt plenty of the 33,000 GWS supporters are free memberships given away by the AFL in an attempt to boost the actual popularity of the club. I don't quite get it personally, as I find the Swans a boring team and GWS have probaby been close to as successful as the Swans since the introduction of GWS into the competition. You'd think that more of the Swans supporters would have jumped over the fence to the Giants.

    I have no fresh intel on what has happened to him post Damian Hardwicks appointment, but is Steven King someone we should also be looking at? Did a great job turning around the Suns after Stewy Dew went.
  3. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    Might as well have been for patches against Carlton when we had no one go up in the ruck.
  4. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    An undervalued 22-24yo ruck who's got a developed body would be perfect, if they're any good there's a permanent position there for them for the next 6 - 8 years.

    The only caveat to my celebratory mood regarding this is that Petty seems to have something of a history with doing this kind of ankle/lower leg injuries. Hopefully it's just bad luck, but could also be some kind of predisposition due to either his physique or the way he naturally moves and changes direction. If he can keep his body right, he's certainly turned into the type of key position player the MFC can build it's team around for the next 5+ years, either as a forward or a back.

    What drugs are they smoking if they think we'd consider trading Petty or Sparrow for an average mature age player that doesn't even want to be on their list? Unless they are trowing in a first round draft pick, but I honestly don't even think that goes close in the case of Petty. Surely this is a joke and the jurno that wrote it is desperate for something to print.

    The MFC needs to train our players to do the jumping smother charge over the off season. It a football action, so you know when Maynard is lying motionless on the ground during our next match against them, it will be completely within the rules and spirit of the game. FFS this a hole makes me sick. If he had half a brain he should have shut the hell up to any reporters about that incident. He knows he shouldn't be playing in that GF. The footy jurnos have got the boots into the MFC about our finals exits. Few of the want to put forward the side the with Brayshaw and JVR in the team, we probably win both those games and thus the rank injustice of allowing Maynard to play, while JVR was suspended.

    Well summarised GTB. Couldn't agree more. This year in particular he has been right off the boil, which has been really disappointing, because we know what he's capable of. I know it's been reported he's had some personal issues that may have played their part in that and I'm quite respectful that they are just that and his own private business. Often players are able to level out the inconsistencies as they mature and I'd be hopeful Harmesy can do that in what remains of his career whether that's with us or someone else.
  9. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    At his best, he's also pretty good at connecting inside 50. Anyone remember that pass to Fritsch in the 21 GF?
  10. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    Yeah, I think that would get it done.
  11. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    Agree with that. Particularly with a bit of a cloud over Gus present as well. We're only an injury to Trac, Viney or Clarry from be exposed for midfield depth.
  12. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    I actually think Harmes would be a good option for a club like West Coast that has bottomed out and needs a few players with mature bodies and good training attitudes around to help establish culture. I'm sure his mate Jayden would put in a good word for him.
  13. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    He was best 22 in a premership team a few years back. At his best he's a compeditive and capable player. Agree that this year his senior games were rubbish, but mainly because I think his confidence was completely shot that resulted in him making some mind bogglingly bad decisions and skill errors.
  14. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    The player that hid his Norm Smith looked embarrassed and didn't want to be there tonight. I think he and everyone here would be much happier with another premiership medal around his neck. Locky and Daicos can have all the Brownlows they want.
  15. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    So the other anomalies here: We have the best backline in the league and they only get 4 votes between them (8 at the very generous end if any of Gus's backline work counts). Out of a total of around 90 votes. Jake Lever gets 0 votes? Jake Bowey 0 votes? Seriously please take the voting off the umps.
  16. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    Umpires hate him, what can you say.
  17. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    I had to check that Bont actually hadn't won a Brownlow, because I'd sworn he had. You can add Max and Clarry to that list that should have won one.
  18. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    100% please tell me how he's not better than Zac Merrit or Josh Daicos.
  19. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    So Cunrow can hardly score a vote all season and Fritsch gets 2 votes for kicking 4? ...Well I guess consistency isn't exactly a strong suit of umpires is it.
  20. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    For a side that finished 2nd, the umpires couldn't find another player to give votes to. Apparently even Ashcroft who was gods gift to football in much the same way as Daicos couldn't even score a vote. Similar story for Collingwood for that matter.
  21. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    Who cares. As the players would say - we don't play for Brownlows.
  22. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    Rather he wins the Norm Smith again. Didn't cost him that one. Just needs another season like that. 2 Norm Smith's Vs 2 Brownlows?
  23. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    Great result for the MFC. If it's not Max or Clarry taking votes, it's Jack. Great season from both of Cristian and Jack. Jack in particular. How Trac didn't score a single vote in that game says something about it being rigged though.
  24. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    St Kilda didn't have a player over 5 foot 6 left on the ground though
  25. Rodney (Balls) Grinter
    Did he play as a ruck rover?
