58er

If Norm Smith is considered as a player then make it a Club best team ever or 150 year team. Or make it over 54 years since 1964 and many trajicsvlike me can give greater importance to yesteryear. A team from 1896 to 1964 can be done and then the best selected from those 2 teams. Remember those who have played in premierships should IMO be graded in front of others if about equal. I agree that Jakovich on pure ability for FF and Neiter to backline as it's a bit small anyway. No real big players to play on beasts of the opposition. Also Tommy Mac in Forward Pocket instead of Brad Green is also a chance maybe Jurrah starts but Tommy in 22 and he can play forward or back as well. Greeney and Ooze fight out HF flank. if over longer period then Wellsy snd Alvesey are surely better than Tingay over a longer period and Gary Hardeman is in our Team of Century I think. (Again just as good if not better over a longer period ) Also surely Gerard Healey if Jako and Jurrah Are in over the shorter period would get a guernsey. Pre 12th flag The Cordners Ivor Warne Smith Percy Zbeames are nearly walk up starts and a plethora of flag heroes of 1954 to 64 and 1939 to 1948 also. Mueller Fanning? Mithen Roet Keneally Ridley and the greatest of all Baras. Tas Johnson Stuart Spencer Don Williams Geoff Case and Hassa Mann. Reckon the modern side would be the most exciting but the 12 flag side too tough and smart when the chips were down if they ever met. Sorry to digress but the most important now is how our current team can write itself in these thoughts after say a flag or two or dare I say 3!!! Can also be purely an AFL team since 1990. !

Good report well done think Sparrow looks like a smaller TomMac !

That's the ethic that Goody and Coaches have concentrated on in since Roosy took over. All the recruits are win your own ball in traffic and Janes no exception. Think like Clarry as a bolter and prob the most speculative of the draft choices. Honest and plenty of upside who will improve around our Club culture. All our drafts will be competing against each other for recognition improvement and maybe one spot in our early season team. On that basis the highlight reels favour Tom Sparrow of the onballers who may be more advanced than Toby and Kade.

Kade was all action in the highlights of about 1 minute! 4 Really tough tackles, some fantastic others might have been a free the other way, one duck and no free kick around neck, and pushes an opponent in the back to get possession, then nearly out of bounds and kicks a freakish goal. All action which is promising!

Not sure that Casey has really been n old Boys team plenty of recruits 19/21 year olds , but this 5 plus some Rookies will be interesting to see development like you said Jim.

Competes like Jack Viney, runs like Hunty and kicks long like Clarry and doesn't handball!! as he gets clear or has enough power to get a good kick in oh and can intercept like Lever.Phyisique of Hibbo or Maynard. Great get and will be type to relish elite training standards plus competitive nature of our onballers

Durango "PickS 53" you forgot Oscar (or maybe Tom instead!)

What about behind goals at City end? cant you go to Gen Admission and sit there. Better to support Club than not ! if Grand Final tickets were Top Northern Stand would you not go?

Cards 13 the game is a replacement home game for either Darwin or The Alice. You are not contributing any money to Richmond ! ( Unless MFC have to give a fee to Tigers for each ticket used) Surely the seats selection isnt that bad at the G!! Its the best game of the year !
