  1. May is about as likely to play forward seriously for MFC than give up drinking. Petty is the gun.
  2. Class and style MFC Of which some D/L ers are born without. Let's just think of that 3rd quarter in the GF and know we are the winner for having Jacko as a member of that fabulous 23 and that can NEVER EVER be taken off his CV or highlight reel. Thank you Dogga and good luck Toby.
  3. How about we wait for about 5 years and see what we got out of Jacko Toby and 3rd and fourth rounders! Remember we have a 13 ( reckon we will upgrade that with GWS or Gold Coast or another Club looking for points by Wed night) future 1st and 2nd rounders from Freo who will do well to be SIXTH next season. Plus we still haven't touched 27 which should go to Pies with a future 3rd rounder or the like and we get Grundy. AND THE REAL DEAL is 3 selections for 3 A orB grade footballers which we have no idea how good they may be but we will back our List Managers to get the best for the Club. WE GAVE AWAY in between A possible A Grade Generational Star and dynamic forward OR an average bits and pieces ex basketballer who is not up for an extensive career in the grind of AFL and hangs out with mates more than he should. Bedford is a chance of improving but again we don't know his pace is his weapon and the two picks of 44 and 67 could yield Tom Gillies or Tommmy Mac Donald (or even Oscar.). Just the same as we claim the jury is still out on the Kelly pick with Salo Hunty and whatever, I reckon in 5 years time we will know a lot more who won etc. If we win a flag or two in the time very few of us will even worry as long as Freo or GWS don't beat us in aFinal in the time in between!! We have 3 picks from 1 st and 2 Nd round which we should be excited about, with 2 next year in a very strong predicted draft plus our 1st rounder so let's get excited about that!! Too many D/Lers are like Dodoro and think we can WIN every trade without knowing who our chips that we will be playing with are and how they will develop. In JT and Crew we trust .
  4. where's Jack Carroll now? And what's he done?
  5. I mentioned that you may have missed it because of your poor judgement. Weid has improved his competitiveness in the ruck and most Casey and /L ers agreed his work in the last half of the season mostly on his own was both his best and most impactful with the packs and round the ground. No One in their right mind would go in with Harmes and Joel Smith as AFL rucks less the ground was an absolute bog. Yes setting up right is vital but goes both ways either your taps or opponents do why not get your own as well. Your assessment of Weids contribution in the ruck to Casey Demons Flag is both insulting and inaccurate in view of the whole hearted effort and absolute attitude plus improvement that he produced in the last half a season.
  6. You didn't see Weid in the Casey jumper near the end of the year Smith or Harmes are not tall enough to compete in AFL even Smith's jumping would not be impactful. That's why we will keep a Weid for rucking as the SC and Goody don't share your views about our second stringers.
  7. Yes DZ agree Turner can step up or Smithy if Petty goes forward.
  8. Recruited in 2021 both!! And we are playing JVR to take over next year.
  9. FWIW Tommo was not as flexible in 2022 after his injury in 2021. So he could be better like Josh Bruce the year after his fist year back also!
  10. We have BBB and JVR
  11. It's partly the way we played in 2022 and fitness of BBB and Tmac. Also.
  12. Just wait and see It's the forward line as a whole that matters 2021 proved that. Melb has rarely had a star forward ( ie leading goal kicker) but has numerous players on the firward line that kick goals and play team footy.
  13. But Tommo is on $500.000 also I believe.
  14. Wait and see in 2023 !!
  15. Oh and Petty as well !!
  16. Your Mr in Hindsight Kent both may not be injured in 2023 and Bruce JVR and them will star !
  17. KENT Got BBB who helped us win flag in 2021!!! JVR !!!
  18. Daydreaming from some of our Daydreaming Demonlanders about Naughton.
  19. Contrary to others this could be a master stroke. He like Tommo needs time and training to get over the ACL. Upside if he does snd good kick to Tommo with the ups and downs of Bevo. If Bruce doesn't go well up forward could play CHB maybe. Interesting to see if any payment for 2 years of Tommo contact of $500,000. Something out of nothing !!
  20. AFL won't work in state mode!
  21. Giants vs Dogs Prelim 2016 21, ooo odd.
  22. Not necessarily ONE ground. Both say SCG snd Giants Stadium could be used for example in Sydney to utilise crowds factor to the max.?
  23. IQ says hullo !!!
  24. MCW SorryBizkit apologies in your name error. However MCW if you reckon because I replied to BiZkit why didn't you call him out with a chill pill also? Threatened like a balloon ready to burst if the "good money for Club" line was used. Didn't like 2 letters changing on our beloved prime guernsey which looks great all the time! It's Ok to introduce a thread but not to have a reply back if it is virtually making a mountain out of a molehill. After all it's all about sponsorship $$ and we are the winners in 2023 and ongoing years. You must be pleased about extra chunk of sponsorship has been secured for our future. Go Dees !! $$$
