Demons1858

Another block of games ... no thanks ... he plays when in form or he gets dropped ...he's been in the system long enough. Goodies comments at the presser is pure frustration that he doesn't will himself into contests and have any physical presence ... the smalls rely on aerial contests ... wouldnt surprise me to see majak play this week

like you said why hate particular clubs when you can hate them all 😉

It's an interesting one, he has his biceps wrapped up but not his forearms. The fact the tackle comes from the side and unbalances him seems to also be an important factor. Apart from all that, Foley has zero awareness. More experienced players would have sensed the heat coming and braced themselves, diverted, or tried to fend off.

Could be that, but l was thinking it was also about worrying the opposition about whether they will need an extra tall defender should weid, tmac, jacko and BBB play

Maybe Jacko is NQR, and covid has had some lingering effects. Interesting that Goody also said in presser they hadn't decided on their best forward setup, when previously he said it involved only 2 talls without counting Jacko

This can't be right ...Roffey told us to trust her as she did similar stuff while in tennis ... well, she needs to get this up to leave some sort of legacy, otherwise move on as you told us that you have been the lead at board level to get this off the ground

That's what Yze said in the presser today ...

l thought petracca lived with kosi and another (maybe Jackson), although can't recall where that's from

tmac will be back in by seasons end ... stint in the vfl will do him the world of good

More mportantly he created hope and options for those that are follicly challenged

The issue with Weid appears to be mental - has all the tools but struggles with pressure

Loved him on Gus and Gawny, looking forward to it, can't get enough of him

If we assume BB needs a run first or gets covid, and we know mitch brown is injured, then we need a backup tall as an emergency to bring over. That would be JVW l suspect and would explain why he was held over

The extra 2 years were to smooth his contact out, and worst case, he becomes a very handy backup back or forward as he ages and others come on. Its quite normal for teams to have one or two bigs missing through injury at any time. Serms like he will be the one to miss this week though

So l think most understand the injury ranges aren't perfect but we keep an eye on how often we miss the mark. If it happens relatively frequently we get annoyed. Personally, l get more annoyed when the number of weeks is designed to keep supporter hopes up and will never be met or we have set back and we aren't informed. This used to happen alot under Misson (in action) but less so now

Looking at a 2nd short break plus its interstate again, so l expect some changes. Rivers, May and a few others looked a touch sore at times so it may sort itself out without dropping anyone. Lever l would get to play a half in the VFL first. BBB has to come back if he has not been infected, he was very good against the bulldogs. TomMac and Tomlinson are probably nervous based on the form of the big's alone. Port and GWS next round don't have big forward lines either - but we are short of players that can play back. So l think a small or medium non back will make way for BBB. Tmac could go back to defence as the 3rd tall to help the balance if that were the case

Not sure about that, they are just playing it safe by staying silent aren't they? If he has made errors the afl as his employer is likely also responsible. Infringing copyright or the like doesn't necessarily mean he made poor decisions in his role. Having said that l was always sceptical about his trade and the supposed neck issue

Same same

Not happy sharing facilities ... means we may have issies claiming sponsorship $$$ e.g Lexus centre

You can do both these days

l like Angus, who doesn't, but alot of fuss is being made about how he plays his role ... essentially its a traditional wingers role that has become rare in the AFL ... all wingers need to roll back into defence, hold their position when needed, break even or better on your opponent, occupy and create space with run, sneak down and kick a goal or two, be super fit etc .... hopefully Angus can continue his improvement and become elite in that position

Good to see the dees turn around the fortunes of another big key forward in Tayla Harris

If we are playing money ball, then Brayshaw has more value on the market playing in the midfield where he could become elite for the right team with the right fit, as opposed playing a handy defensive wing position ... downside is he is part of the fabric and culture we have built which is hard to value

Timing is interesting ... could be a bit [censored] off about what the doc indicated goidy said and dealing with it privately with the club ps l know what his dad said publicly what it not being a concern

I would have said Neville Jetta but he played in the AFLX premiership 😉 I think we lost 25 players to WWI and WWII. Would be great to have any of them back with a soft spot for Barassi Snr https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/554095/players-killed-on-active-service
