58er

But Jake is a HBF/er Not a KP player. How you play is your own special Talent you bring to the position. Jeremy Howe, Kade Simpson, Christian Salem Jaydn Short plus Ash and Lever? You made the disparaging comment on HBacks in general now want to pick and choose their Trade value. There is nothing wrong in what Melb did but we are only seeing now consistently Jakes true value including his Great leadership on display last Sunday. You have no idea how a 5 year older Lachie Ash will have developed as a player in defence as a HB. The jury would still be out in my other choices (Or any other HBacks) depending upon individual Opinion on their role or style. But basically they are HBacks playing a position which you would not trade for 2 first picks As you stated!!!

Brian Dixon was My first great Melb winger completely different style. Not fast in running speed just an average floating punt kick ( which he often got to his boot very smartly) about 40m but superb high mark and very competitive. Usually got 20 plus possessions each week and played tall for a winger of around 5ft 10 ( or 170/3 cm). Played in our Glory Days (1954 to 1964) and In a number of our flags then. Langers is tracking to join our four Other greats Dicko, Alvsey Robbie ( our greatest winger but could play elsewhere) and Stinga. And he is looking as if he could be only the second of those to have a flag or flags on his CV, in a season or two.

So you don't agree with Jake Levers trade value?

Think the wing is going well in Gus's hands. Good disposal to forwards and filled in down back well after quarter time.

The extra coin he earns and the 2 first rounders we used ARE the price of TEAM leadership on top of his ability. Same as for Maysie. Leadership Really Is priceless and both Trades are Giving us back in spades with our team defence ethos. All players are now looking team first and look how the side is performing together. Helps add also when your top players are week after week performing up to their ability. Also helps when you have 6/8 top liners who are genuine impact players who change the results of games when they perform at a top level. Hence the dilemma in Coaches votes and our top 6 in Demonland!

Jumper colours have nothing to do with team performance !! What colour car do you drive !! ie same issue irrelevant. Look at our glory days photos and the navy blue is Demons in my opinion. PS have no prob with our away strip now never ever go back to the white strip please!!! Only big win was at Subiaco vs Eagles in 2017 when Tommy kicked that goal.

What about the concussion issue ? Got nothing up do with Local Comps who do their own fixtures around the AFL anyway. !

BB don't you have a mind of your own? If they are going to jump of a cliff tomorrow will you join them? Now we are 4-0 we are not losing so no worries sign up!!

Like for like Petty A cert. Hibbo has to wait Melksham lucky get another chance ONLY this one though!

Agree entirely No thought at all was IMO at Club level to trade Fritta. It was the impatient nellies who didn't understand his skills while he develops. We are too impatient for our recruits to progress and often it takes longer than we want EgEven Trac had a post of D/L ers wanting to trade Him in 2019! We need to take chill pills at times and put our faith in the Coaches and the players a little more. This rebuild has taken a while for the maturity to show but like a fine wine is prospering before our eyes. The vintage has not even been picked yet But a bumper crop is looking possible unless the weather ( injuries) prevent this happening.

Not sure you really want to give Bayley his due credit for his ability. Yes our system and forward work is much better but it is too simplistic not to recognise that the last 2 weeks have been coming for a long time but poor conversion and possibly some lack of self belief and self pressure Imposed upon himself have delayed his progress. He Is a star and like many in the team is just starting to shine in all the right ways fir the team. It appears that right now all the players are enjoying their roles and are very positive about our development ( which I predicted all pre season BTW). We haven't hit the scoreboard properly yet so no reason to get too confident about any result as long as we play as a team the result will take care of itself.

For a start there is not Nearly as much flu Now that people are taking care of themselves with masks sanitizers and whatever distancing is being observed. Also I believe about 20/25 % of the population are still not living life near back to normal for fear. The flu shots are to be taken 2 weeks after the Covid vaccine shots.

Potentially this is the best chance we have for immediate and/or sustained success Since 1964. We not only have 4/5 A graders they are playing like those elite players. But there are another 10 at least on our list who may improve to that status or close to. Our depth looks promising and real and for once a number of "role" players of genuine substance. Also isn't it great When players are played in position but can be moved fir team balance or yo change a game! BTW we may just have our best coaching group for half a century also. Sides this year who are looking yo succeed will need to stand up for the whole year as Tigers and Power will still be there when the whips are cracking.

Yes Glen a big thanks fir all your 8 years of hard work .

Spargo get real !!

Yes did ok according to Mad as Hell

Since when would Hore be in ahead of Hibbo ? Maybe a small like Locky even? Hore is difficult to place IMO as he is not a KP or great on a small. About a Fritta or Melksham size really best. Melksham will get another game this week but very lucky to Did nothing !!!! BTW Hore is out for season with ACL.

Why not ?

At least 2 matches in APRIL and hopefully none in May!!!

Let's get a small in also with Petty Nev has given his best but not a long term proposition.

This has not been an MFC diagnosis OD so 2-4 is likely.

Like for Like is best Petty deserves his chance. If it was Rivers or Salem then Hibbo is fine butneed 2 talls plus Jake who freelances a bit !

Yes agree to a point BuT ONE person started a Trade Fritsch post. No apology yet to my knowledge. Its onward and upward for Bayley and the Dees in 2021.

Got to be kidding What have we got Petty for? Deserves his chance.

No Petty MUST be selected. His form is deserving also.
