  1. I do suppose having Tomlinson can be considered an upgrade, given his better use of the footy, but we loose out massively on agility and having Tomo play on the wing.
  2. I will maintain that letting Frost go, ahead of OMac was a massive oversight that i still cannot understand. Yes he was a turnover king, but so were half the team. The only reason we noticed him more is that half back turnovers whilst in transition usually result in scores against. He is a very good lockdown defender, with great closing speed and can play big and tall. Granted he has average to below average disposal efficiency but compared against Omac will beat him in almost every skill attribute.
  3. Why would we sign him on a one year deal unless it was at Burgo’s own request. Hopefully the AFL clarifies soft cap and list sizes soon so that we can prepare for the trade period. This uncertainty is not doing anyone any favours.
  4. I think it pretty much went out the door once 6-6-6 came in and Goodwin changed our frenetic - chaos style - game plan. As many have stated, its ball movement and spread that creates speed not the players.
  5. AFL should not give him a license. They are obligated to seek medical advice that would most certainly not allow him to play.
  6. May out of this side is a massive blunder. albeit having 3 AAs for non finals teams is a not a good look. Ling needs to be pulled off the selection panel. Geelong are always over represented and Danger gets a free ride. Guthrie on the wing. Seriously?
  7. His wife is back in Melbourne.
  8. I know I’m getting ahead of myself but Steven May for captain 2021 please!
  9. It was always going to be difficult to get him. He'd be one of their marquee players that they would do anything to hold onto.
  10. Funny isn’t that what Goodwin said our brand was supposed to be.
  11. Is #FreeKickHawthorn officially retired?
  12. Assuming he leaves and we can make a deal with Essendon.
  13. Gawndy the Great replied to Lord Nev's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Saad would have some sort of relationship with Steven May right?
  14. Yes frustrating but certainly not trade worthy. He has a great kicking technique. Problem is between his ears. Nevertheless he has to be a forward of centre link player. Great marking and field kicking. Even would be worth trialling one the wing.
  15. Continues to surprise me how they always seem to target these players. They got Martin with a million dollar contract last year. Even with the retirees, they shouldn’t be able to afford him. We absolutely need to nail this one more than a key forward. LJ and Pickett will grow next year and will be that much better.
  16. And a nice 50K [censored] you from the AFL to finish off the season. Great
  17. Time to go Goodwin!
  18. Absolutely. How many other players have kicked four goals this year? His dash and mobility is something to be in awe of. He is a turnover merchant off half back so keep him inside forward 50.
  19. Finlayson re-signed this week.
  20. Agreed. He is not going to make it I’m afraid. Need to bring in a ready made.
  21. We need to go for Ben Brown or Jeremy Cameron - not soldnon Hoags. I just don’t thinK Weeds is going to make it. Instead Hunt and Fritsch kicked seven between them. Just doesn’t position himself correctly is always caught out of position and is easily nullified in the pack situation.
  22. [censored] typical. Absolute [censored] [censored] [censored]
  23. How predictable. A big old fashion Melbourne choke is coming up.
  24. The talk on Gunston is promising but we have plenty of mid size forwards in stock. Milkshake, Fritsch and Hannan. Also throw Smith into the mix. We would have to get rid of at least one of those if we were to chase Gunston. I wouldn’t mind experimenting with Fritsch on the wing - but he needs a lot of work on endurance if he is to keep up with Langdon. So hard call on the others. Hannan or Smith probably needs to go. i dont think Carlton will bid on Williams they honestly can not afford him unless they are paying the rest of the team 200-300K. Remember they are paying Martin close to a million and they have Cripps on their books as well plus the other half a dozen other commanding player.
  25. If by some miracle we make the finals. Playing eagles in Perth will be the perfect opportunity for redemption. They are also very vulnerable at the moment.
