  1. Gawn is doing ok, but Brody is now well ahead of him.
  2. Trade the entire coaching panel for Clarkson.
  3. 6. Hibberd 5. Gawn 4. May 3. Petracca 2. Hannan 1. McDonald
  4. I'm over him. We thought we had a first class midfielder but the truth is that he is miles behind the best in the AFL. Cripps, Dangerfield, O'Neil, Fyfe, Martin, Mitchell, Pendlebury, Merritt, Cotchin, Rowell, Boak, Cunnington, Kelly... it seems like most clubs have a better midfield than Oliver. Time to shake him up or move him on.
  5. Cringe-worthy as it is, "Learnings" has been in common use for at least two decades in Asia.
  6. I might have watched a different game. Kozzy was all buzz with no impact. Smith was ok. Rivers looked lost. Melksham looked disinterested and has forgotten how to chase. Hannan was ok considering how long it is since he has played at this level. And despite the love for Lockhart on this forum, he simply isn't ready.
  7. Bing181, They dropped Jackson for Essenon.
  8. That's also a problem. Do you think that tongue in cheek or casual prejudice is ok? Joking or otherwise, swearing about an English man because he isn't a Dees supporter, dismissing him because you think he's only been in the country for 5 minutes. Seriously? It's 2020 and if you haven't already noticed... NOT COOL, MCQUEEN. Demonland, let's ban that sort of post.
  9. Why does where he is from have anything to do with it? This sort of bias has to be called out. Not cool, McQueen.
  10. I'd give all 21 votes to Viney if that were permissible. Otherwise, 6. Viney 5. May 4. Oscar 3. Langdon 2. Lever 1. Petracca
  11. Hard to distinguish between the dark and light blues. And the videos show that several kicks went to opposition players. Maybe the two are connected. Or maybe we are still unable to find a teammate.
  12. There sense in your thinking, LDV. Putting aside twins, from my memory there were brothers Abblett, McDonald, Wagner, Matera, Beams, Brown, Curnow, Hill, Jakovich, Daniher, Cornes, etc. It's obvious that T Mac has it over O Mac, but is there a pattern of whether the younger or older is generally better?
  13. Has anyone thought about whether there is a pattern to which is the better of siblings? E.g., older versus younger. I would be interested to hear the views of others more knowledgable than me.
  14. Good as Jones has been for us, he's a long way short of the AFL's best midfielders. Has never been All-Australian.
  15. Thanks for explaining, L36. I hadn't heard of that group before.
  16. Look at that centre line! Dixon, H. Mann, Adams.
  17. Thanks for posting this. For those interested, the games record holders per ju,per number 1-10... 1. Denis Cordner 2. Nathan Jones 3. Garry Lyon 4. Norm Smith 5. David Schwarz 6. Frank Davis 7. Brian Wilson 8. Tassie Johnson 9. David Neitz 10. Lance Arnold
  18. Forget McCartin. We should throw everything we can behind recruiting Jeremy Cameron.
  19. If anyone had doubts about Johnson being one of our best since 1987, just watch this game.
  20. 19. CLAYTON OLIVER This natural ball-hunter is going to be well inside the top-10 by career’s end. Oliver’s hands and vision in traffic are superb, even if he is still learning to balance his game. Was All-Australian in his third year and has two club champion trophies already. Averaged 28 disposals across his first 83 games and led the league in contested possessions last year. Huh? If this about about players from 1987 to 2020, how is Oliver going to be "well inside the top-10 by career's end"? He has only the remaining games this year to climb 9 places? Unless we're talking about players who played in this era, but taking into account their output over their entire careers. In which case, Flower would be number 1 because he played in 1987, although his best years were prior to that.
  21. The great Sean Wight was Scottish, not Irish.
