did half of us ever think tmac was going to have the revival he did no, ffs tmac wasn't even playing forward when he was the age weid is now. so u can dead set kid yaself elsewhereif you're writing him off as a footballer right now. theres plenty of season left and plenty of footy ahead of weid too

i think he'll stay, a 2yr deal on no where near the money we previously offered him or he wanted and if after next year he hasn't pushed tmac out of the side which could still happen given tmac wasnt much better today then he might leave. but he wont want to leave on a multi year deal coz his value is at its lowest he won't get paid much at all anywhere

how does he go as a small forward type? given bedford and chandler are 50:50 for the list next year and melkys nearly at the end

No, no, no, absolutely not, ask the question retire, retire, yes, no, yes, no imo Jetta, Jones, vandenberg, Chandler, Bedford, Bradtke, JSmith, Baker can't believe we're replacing langdon already *facepalm* can't take this thread very seriously when the first message i opened to today said Tom Mitchell (outside) if you looked up inside mid in the dictionary his face would be smiling straight back at u

we're in a premiership window... if the price is right we should be loading up on anyone available who improves our side, definitely not looking forcheaper alternatives if he's available imo

Corey Wagner, Josh wagner? or my favourite the pencil Jakey spence in the 42

ill put it in here too from the draft centrals first power rankings of the season #21 Mac Andrew (MEL NGA) Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country | Ruck/Tall Utility 12/04/2003 | 200cm | 70kg Snapshot: A raw tall prospect who has proven his worth in each post, Andrew’s vertical leap and fast-developing craft really catch the eye. Another key position type who has rocketed up draft boards with a promising start to the year, Andrew will have Melbourne recruiters a little nervous with his performances to date. He sits just outside our current top 20 but has that kind of potential, with raw athleticism and bucketloads of upside given his ever-improving ability to be utilised at either end of the ground, or in the ruck. While he has proven his versatility, the Demons Next Generation Academy (NGA) talent looks most comfortable in the ruck, where his leap and clean follow-up work stands out. Season so far: Eyes quickly turned to Andrew after he collected 22 disposals, three marks and 11 hitouts on his NAB League debut, before going on to prove it was no fluke by impressing across another three outings. He found himself spending more time forward against the Sandringham Dragons in Round 4 and kicked a goal, but has some development left in his decision making and disposal by foot at times. He boasts clean hands and was better aerially than his averages of three marks and 14.5 hitouts suggest. The same could be said about his game for the AFL Academy, where Andrew was tried up either end before excelling in the ruck during term four, throwing his 200cm frame into each centre bounce with a phenomenal vertical leap

i win ;)

numbers up!

numbers up!

hunt also isn't really defending. the goals weren't necessarily on hunt but hes contributing the least back there so if we want to tighten up that spot something has to give and u can't really make a case for the other 6. in lockhart you'd be freeing hibbo up to do more rebounding rather than being deepest. bowey should have license to attack as thats his strength and i don't doubt he'd have the same if not more impact on our offence as hunt is currently having

no better time to do it, not a hostile crowd in the harbour city and the pies r rolling out their u21s themselves

ones averaging 20+ and ones averaging 11ish over the last month of games played u tell me who should get to whose level. bowey won't know how to compete at afl level if he never gets to play there. and if u are so against the bowey call i'd rather lockhart played than hunt, zac bailey another 4g from a small forward tonight

OUT: Weideman, Hunt, Melksham IN: BBrown, Bowey, Langdon

only problem with dropping him is it drives his price down if thats the way we look at EOS but i haven't given up yet LT
