WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHARLIE SPARGO
I really loved the looping handball he did into space to lead a player into an open goal, I think it was ANB who initially called for a handball which would've put himself under a little pressure. Has that footy IQ to know which is a better option and to not be afraid to override more senior players when he's in a better position to sum up what to do.

Who do we realistically target for a trade?
Does anyone see us in need of a second tall defender alongside Omac to free up Lever as a 3rd tall? Or is it a matter of going with what we had pre-ACL and having Frost & Keilty as depth and Petty developing, next year?

Ben Brown runs off with Cirque de Soleil perhaps?

King: Oliver can be Dee's Dusty
The last player i had down for a Brownlow was Cam Bruce after witnessing him in his first year. I had him down for 3 Brownlows too. "The next James Hird" - Nailed it!

Some have bounced the idea of trading him for Darcy Moore as the Pies need cap space apparently, and it would also satisfy eddie's nostalgic bones

As the leader of the race for the wooden boot, might i suggest 3 points for the 3rd place playoff? Though i'm hearing both teams will play their b side, so maby its only worth 0.3 points

I think 2/5 will rely percentage or another team/s losing an unexpected game for us to definitively make it on points. Not a good route.

Yeah second half was a bit of a let down. As it had a lot of time wasting. Bit of a talking point over on reddit. Time keeping is such a terrible aspect of soccer compared with the professionalism of other sports where we value every second lost by making it up with TIME OFF. Even just having 1 minute increments of stoppage time seems so lazy. Surely if you have somewhere counting every second, then you end up with precise Min and Sec to add ie 8min 45s. And then near end of injury time, add even more on a board for the wasted time in Injury time. " [Lapanje] Next thing they should add to modernise football is to change stoppage time to effective time. Today 6 minutes was added but the ball was in play for maybe 2-3 minutes. Yet the referee blew at almost exactly 96'. Heavily encourages time-wasting. Same story in most games I watch " https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/8xsqkw/lapanje_next_thing_they_should_add_to_modernise/ Having said that, I liked France's game. So professional. Their defence was enormous. Defended the lead so well and gave Belgium nothing. Really felt the divide between an experienced football power and a middleweight team that is trying to emerge, even though the only difference was a corner goal. I wonder if Belgium for the 2022 world cup is a good bet

These games are as close to a flip of the coin as you'll ever get imo, and I'm down by 3 to DZ, it's a terrible strategy to go the opposite to you, but I have to make a move lol. Therefore the final will be France v England (the opposite of what I'll barrack for

Jordan Lewis is absolutely cooked, never pick him again
Wouldn't gifting someone games to get to a magic number be put under the 'reputation' category? Oddly paradoxical comment. For the record I don't think Lewis is being gifted games.

I have us playing the Hawks (6v7) if we can snag one against Geelong (And of course beat WB/GCS/ADEL/GWS) Can't wait to get one back against that mullet haired Stratton [censored].

Surprised we haven't had a "Hunting for Hanneberries" thread created yet I don't want to be the one to start it though as it's not my rumour...
