  1. He injured his ankle earlier on in the year, i believe he missed one game, and re-injured it and is worse than was first thought. Will not play again this year but should not be an ongoing problem.
  2. Irrelevant to the result but that holding the ball decision again nicholson? that led to Franklins 70m goal was disgusting.
  3. Demolished in the clearances. Standard against the hawks
  4. Nicholson has been very ordinary today. Fumbled nearly all his touches and has been really poor with his disposal. Not alone but has stood out today
  5. Went along for the first 6/8. No Sylvia, Trengove, Tapscott or McKenzie among others. Davey played I would think less than half of the game and didn't do much. Clark and Watts worked well together I thought, they would both be around the contest and often Jack would either body Clark's opponent (generally Frawely) out of the contest or held his own man away front he contest and allow Clark to go up for a clean jump or have a 1 on 1. He is a seriously good mark of the football. Watts is super quick and makes great decisions with the football. His spot up to Troy Davis? I think in the forward line under pressure on the left was one of the standouts of the day. Jamar was destroying Fitzy in the ruck, just too big and strong for him. Garland did some good marks and defence and Grimes likewise. Thought Martin was very good up forward, competed in the air and was good on the ground and snagged a few goals. Looks promising if we can fit him, Watts and Clark and Jurrah rotating through as well. Jones was killing the clearances, Howe was playing well and Blease got a heap of the ball and used his speed to find space. Will be important this year. Will give a bigger report later.
  6. Warnock simply not up to it. Always behind and makes terrible decisions when he does have it. Pathetic today and hasnt been great all year.
  7. Yes he was Jack's direct opponent for the day. However he never able to go head to head with Keath at any time during the match except for a few occasions late in the game where Jack managaged to snare 3 goals in the last quarter and get Brighton back from 6 goal deficit. Keath played well, but Jack was 1 on 3 and was bombed on his head all day, ala Nick Reiwoldt in the grand final this year. This is not a worrrying sign at all.
  8. EDIT: Stynes will remain President but delegate duties to other Board members temporarily, with Don McLardy taking over as interim President. Three weeks ago he had a lump in his back removed which turned out to be cancerous and it has spread to other parts of the body. He will undergo surgery tomorrow (Source: MFC.) - - - - - - Due to illness. Just announced on channel 9. Get well Jim. You have done so much for this club
  9. Keep him in. Looked better tonight. I want to see how he goes against lesser opposition to get his confidence up. Keep him in this week and for the west coast game.
  10. I like Morton but he is starting to annoy me how he refuses to tackle, win a hard ball get or pressure opponents. Bartram - Has to go. Offers not much to be honest Bate - Tried hard. Kicked well. Still fumbles a bit but is a positive Bennell - Was OK Bruce - Best game for a while. Cheney - Courageous marks going back into pack Davey - Disposal is incredible Frawley - Smashed Lloyd. Green - Gutsy efforts all night. Is a gun Grimes - Is going to be a gem. Great 1 on 1 player. Has to be midfield Jetta - Maric has to be in ahead of him Johnson - Frustrating. Can be good but makes so many errors. Not the worst at all though Jurrah - Wow. Him and Watts together makes me happy. Martin - Looks promising forward. McLean - Good clearances. Always tries Miller - Showed some good signs i guess Moloney - Love him. Loves this club Morton - Not any good tonight/lately. Pulled out of another contest tonight. Looked ugly Rivers - Didnt really notice him Robertson - Has to go. Play Newton instead Sylvia - Such an improver this year Watts - Im excited. Classy player. Deadly kick. Presents well. Bloody use him. He leads to the centre and we constantly kick it wide to Robertson or Bate 2 on 1. Frustrating. Whelan - Sad to say he looks well of the pace.

  12. Bate - a major underachiever Bell - courageous but lacks skills and decision making Bruce - hit a target/take a mark Cheney - kept at task Davey - demands are overwhelming Frawley - tough and focused Green - a quiet game Grimes - will be a gun Johnson - never seen somebody miss so many targers Jones - refused to look inboard. So frustrating Maric - game to forget McDonald - May sound harsh but has to go. Fumbled all day and cant kick anymore. McLean - Slow and quiet Moloney - was barely sighted Morton - had no presence Rivers - kept at task Robertson - well past prime Sylvia - oustanding allround game Warnock - just a game Watts - showed some poise, got open but people (Jones and McDonald in particular) refuses to lower eyes and hit targets. Would be very frustrated tonight Whelan - brave but loose
  13. He can seriously play. So strong overhead for somebody his size. But what struck me most was his pace and chasing, I thought he was a bit of a plodder but he can run. Great game Col
  14. I have also heard it on very good authority that he will be playing on Queens Birthday. I have grown up playing with Jack and cannot wait to see him out there in the red and blue. Get excited. Big weekend for us in so many ways
  15. Shane is an extremely talented player. He can play as a medium forward and is magical overhead. For his size he is unbelievable one on one. He strikes me as a cross between Steve Johnson will his freakish ability and the silk of Simon Black. Put a few years in the gym and a forward line with him and Watts could perform some serious magic. Can play on ball or on a wing but is best suited in the forward line. His skills are very good on both sides of his body, this helps him to make goals out of nothing. Ive seen him play for years and i hope we give him the chance because hes got the pace, skills and agility to be a great player. I believe in the environment of an AFL club he could improve on his already freakish ability. Francis Jackson (head recruiter of Richmond) said he had the best hand eye co-ordination he'd ever seen and a complete footballer but didn't have the body to make it, it also probably due to the fact at the time of his draft, he really didn't have football at his top priority until last year. He is pure magic, if we used a late pick, or even a rookie draft selection i would be very pleased.
  16. Sylvia for Alwyn Davey? No thanks. Sylvia has been playing well this year, and give him one more year to prove him self
  17. I went to the game, and I thought Newton today showed hard work off the ball. He had 4-5 chase down tackles, I have never seen him do this before. Showed some fire. Great game by him Grimesy spent alot of the first quarter on the bench and would have had around 15 possies for the day as a half back flanker. Did some good things, tackled hard and used the ball well with good desision making. Didnt dominate as was expected by a kid whos had 4 games in 7 months, but showed alot of class out there. Yze played a good game too. Pettard got a lot of the ball down back, and uses it well. I really want him to get a game this year. Looks a class above
  18. Yeah he didnt play too well that game. I was there and he got frustrated with the 3on1s. Usually his kicking is pretty good, kicking pretty much all his set shots for Vic Metro. If thats the only game youve seen, you clearly wont have huge excitement understandably, but hes been a freak for the last 2 years, especially this year when he gave up basketball. I can definatly see him being a superstar. I think he has the athletic ability of Riweoldt and the miracles of Nathan Brown. Can do some freakish things. Will be a great pickup if we get him. Tough decisions this year for the club though, but after going to the debacle last night, we really need a big forward and IMO i think he could be part of the answer
  19. Dominates. In year 10 (last year), he kicked 8.5 against the APS CHB. Kicked bags of 4-5 with getting tripled teamed. Whenever one on one he doesnt lose marking contests at this level, and took this up a level and dominated in the U/18 championship
  20. I was under the impression he wasnt contracted?? I may be proven wrong though
  21. Agree with you. He was good tonight, he can lay a huge tackle and presented with [censored] delivery all night. Give him a one year contract i reckon. He will come good
  22. Used to be so good. It was embarrasing to see some of his efforts tonight. Me needed Jamar to at least win the ball in some ruck contests
  23. I thought Sylvia was good tonight. Actually worked and got some hard ball. Had absolutely no delivery to him on the forward line I think we have to keep him for one more year. Give the man a preseason and give him one more year to prove himself. I think he had been looking promising as of late, and still think with a preseason he could become something good. Make him do a preseason with Jones. Jones works his ass of preseason. Think pairing them up would be hugely beneficial to Sylvia
