58er

Would pick 14 from Dogs Make a difference??

This probably means Fin McRae comes into being.in Draft First round. All you Mahoney doubters ( and haters) again have been stumped By his creative brain. How he dreams up these swaps is amazing. And JT can agsin get us a star plus do west I'll have one 2 Nd rounder left or not after all the points are totalled.

Really move on 2018 was Mitchs big dance And remember him fondly fir his great goal vs Geelong and pre3/4 time mark and goal vs Hawks. Mitch has numerous opps this year to secure a HFF but failed like a couple of others and only got about 10 or less possessions per game and few goals. Hunt and Spargo got some good ones vs Pies GWS and Dons and are in line ahead of Mitch. Spargs has more upside and us still developing and has a good footy brain and Hunty still has a skill factor to sta Why because his firm was bad !

Totally agree BBP Salos last half of season he was starting to impact with his skills by foot and hand and found himself further up the ground on ring and half forward. Petsonally I believe it's mainly about how urgently he plays the game and 2020 last half Was as good as he had been and importantly his impact was excellent in our Failed finals push. Play him in forward line say HFF snd I believe we will get a top5 in band f In season 2021.

It's not like he Deliberately plays badly Its his fitness and form one would think.. Just hope he can turn it around and stun us all as Tom is a great Melb Clubman who deserves better.

Don't think Club could believe how quickly Tom has degenerated in form and statistics inside 2 seasons. Hopefully a great Clubman like Tom can turn it around despite dodgy ankles and toes. Best scenario is he stays and can be depth or if he rediscovers his form then the forward spots open up and even ruck or defence. Speed is crucial in his Recovery if he is to be Useful and relevant this season.

Really Dan will get Vic back To high level finance situation very soon. wouldctather be in the trenches with him Than any other Premier. Vic was in great shape and had 5 good years prior Covid so can rebound quickly.

Petty will very soon if he gets a good run at it.

Can't say enough about Riv just does all the footballers things naturally and without fanfare. Will star wherever he plays back it even in the midfield or maybe up forward to win the game. Dont be surprised If Trent becomes a leader of the Club with Captaincy right in the mix. 200 plus game legend To look forward to enjoying his magnificent career.

Just beat me to it rjay. The Trumpster would be great sign on all extras like reserved seats GFG player sponsorships And for about 20 Memberships inc his immediate family inc. kids and loyal Staffers plus personal body guards, Reckon there would have to be a clause keeping him away from members forums after game room access and even matches at the G! Could ask for helicopter landing rights on the G or parachute down like Mark Ruscuito did, But again no Attendance allowed. Too much hard work he is just get a $100,000 donation auto renewed and double up in $$$ in a COVID or US ELECTION YEAR !!

Agsin Poita another shot st theClub! Saying the Club have been pretty ordinary this year. On all occasions any email or snail mail re membership has had the sentence if any member had a problem or wish to discuss any membership changes just to give Club a call or email! Thst clearly puts it ALL back on the supporters court! Yes I agree they some carrot fir 2021 dhoild be given snd as a result it appears that the GFGuarantee is bring carried over. I was not aware of this snd tjink my first payment for 2021 had gone through inc the GFGuarantee. Not majorly worried but will prob give membership a call to confirm this is ok to charge In 2021 fees. BTW have always found Mrmbership Drpt great and very obliging in the past few seasons.

Sydney game fir you GWS or a swans!

I am dusappoinred that we haven't gone for say Ohillips or Treloar or Stephenson or Polec. Two if those would help markedly Our running and forward skills And depth. All areIMO rest made players fro wing HF or outside mid running and better than most of our flankers and 2 Nd wingers o Th er than Langers. And there is a fire sale really fir a couple. Petty is such a crucial part of our KFp snd KbP otherwise Tommo and Smith ( if Tommy goes Or doesn't come up.

That's where Vsnders is at !Sadly Smith or Lockhart for defensive run!

Smith snd Board must have kept any fighting quiet Macca as the 1966 sacking was over Smithy criticising an umpire (Ron Brophy I think) one day and Cttee didn't see eye to eye. Not sure there wasn't civil action taken by the Ump and Smithy wanted Club ie Board support. Hardly a succession of fights from 1952 to 1964/5 Macca unless you know of any others ?? Board must have done some things right as 6 flags in 12/13 years ain't bad!!!

Reckon if we wait 12 months a couple of reasonable HF smaller types may be delisted by Ssints in 2031 end of season. thinking Billing's Lonie a chance oh and Kent !!! Please NO.

Basically Viney is a Vic. Todd came here in 1986 and played 12 years or so snd only went back I reckon fir coaching in SA fir 5 years before he returned to Hawks I think. Then came back to us. Basically Jack has lived 20 out of 25 years in Vic not SA.And would have been born in Vic in 1994 !

That's ridiculous HFF only Richmond played there with us from 1966 on Then in about early 80's aSunday game and later on Friday night started with North mainly. In middle 90's Bombers Pies Hawks all started sharing then I think Telstra Dome about 2000 started and some Clubs got shared home grounds with Dogs Roos Saints and Dons and Blues. So you are only about 30 years out HFF In our real share with other teams except for Tigers which doesn't cover any real loss then in a 12 team comp ie the old AFL.

30 years ago in 1991 Great Southern Stand.

Oscar has ever been a turnover merchant like Tom was in defence. Oscar lacks confidence strength and nimbleness to compete one on one. Thsts why he looks poor as he is mostly in the last line vs another player. Personally I would keep Tom snd hope He thins down snd Recovers fitness and can play Ruck forward or Back. Oscar At best a Rookie fir one year emergency depth if we don't get a trade.

Tracy 14 you said no Hunt or Hannan on 14/10. then said Vanders Smith Fritsch Melky could all play HForward role I am saying Fritsch 's talent is far better than Smiths and the rest are in decline. Plus retain Hunt who can kick multiple goals from HF and I think will improve in 2021.

Sorry I typed Hire not Hore in the final two sentences. However My take on Hire is he is not quick or nimble fir smalls and too light fir most talls that's why he is Levers interceptor clone mainly!

No AF Fritta must be chiefly a forward which is our Achilles heel.

Polly and Kent yes Locky is the small replacement IMO and Rivers our major running half back Or Salem snd Hibbo can do that also. ( I prefer Salem on wing or up forward to maximise his disposal and elite kicking skills. Maybe Hunt or Smith are also able to be used for run and carry when given an opportunity Down back. Our defence still can be better but May Lever Tomlinson and Petty ( prefer up forward ) even Mitch Brown if retained can Play the big role. Hire IMO is a Lever clone fir the intercepting duties!

Why not ? That's what the coaches are Paid for, to work out the positions and styles of games fir each player at your disposal. Jack needs to Cease trying to be a bulldozer all the time where he hold onto the call and gets caught holding. He also needs to look at kicking or handball ing on his right side and making his first option to move the hall to our outside runners. Jack should be able to play up forward on the ball and/or roam on the FP or HFFlank Putting pressure on the defenders with his strong tackling. Gus is good in close and also On the outside and is a good disposer when he can balance and launch a good left or right foot pass. He is not great at two way running ie defending from defence However letssee this year if New Coach Yze can influence our mids games and versitility.
