Never? TMac would have won his fair share of one-on-one battles over his 200+ game career! He has been a great servant of the club. Was an absolute forward beast in 2018. Pretty sure he would have won the majority of his one-on-one battles then. And he really gave it a crack this year as a 3rd tall defender, considering he is at the end of his career and all the injuries he has had to deal with over the last few years. But yes, his last 2 games have been horrible and potentially career ending.

Josh Mahoney had a hand in all of those trades

Exactly. Any chance Fullarton and Pup can get a game now under Goody? Nah

So unlucky. Happened when he slipped on the MCC wing in the last 20 seconds of the game and got crunched by a Peatling tackle

May - body is shot

No. BBB not there. Sparrow has responded. 20 disposals to HT. One bad clanger though

https://www.mcg.org.au/the-stadium/mcg-history/timeline 1859 "The first inter-club game under Melbourne Football Club rules (the basis of Australian rules football) was played at the MCG over two Saturdays, July 9 and 23. The Melbourne Football Club defeated South Yarra three goals to nil." 1883 "Arrangements were made by which the Carlton Football Club played several of their best matches on the MCG." 1890 "On March 7 the Melbourne Football Club became affiliated with the Melbourne Cricket Club" Doesn't really suggest that Carlton became a "tenant" of the G in 1883. The G was pretty much solely a cricket ground until 1890

10-5 free kicks to Carlton that quarter. 4 of them directly resulting in goals for Carlton. Usual bias

Just more talk and speculation

At least the 50 year member category is still around. Might be gone by the time we get there

Agreed. But 3 ridiculously good kicks and 1 good mark/handball in the space of 8 seconds. Unbelievable. And if Howlett blew his whistle when the siren sounded, Jimmy (RIP) would never have then run over the mark

And now listed as concussion. Weird

Will never forgive TC for burning Robbie in the goal square in the '87 prelim - Robbie's last ever game for the club (RIP)

Averaged around 15 disposals, 5 marks, 5 hitouts per game. And kicked 30 goals across 18 games. Similar stats in 2022. Just give the guy a chance in the seniors. Who knows - he may surprise everyone on this forum

Yep I do. And I reckon he's p*ssed off

Didn't Fullarton have 30 hit outs in a VFL match a few weeks ago? Classy by Goodwin to pump up Fullarton's tyres in public. And wonder if he noticed Pup's 24 tackles on the weekend? Didn't seem to notice/reward Pup's match saving one against Norf

Bowser was pretty good too at one stage during the match. 176cm vs 2 metre Peter:

He is becoming a more rounded player, week by week, and the stats prove that "conclusively". If that isn't improvement, I don't know what is. And I am sure Longmuir is very happy with the role he is playing in that forward line where the other key forwards (i.e. Treacy, Jackson, Banfield, etc.). are sharing it around

Not sure what stats you are looking at. He is currently on track for more kicks, kicking efficiency, disposals inside 50, metres gained, ground ball gets, inside 50 marks, more shots on goal, goal assists, tackles, pressure acts, spoils, one percenters on last year's stats. And again, 7 games to go plus finals. Sheesh

Hasn't improved? He has missed 1 game this season! Freo are 3rd on the ladder. He is integral to that team. And there are 7 games to go. Currently tracking improvement on lots of stats from last year: https://www.wheeloratings.com/afl_player_profile.html?ID=140bfb2

In your previous comment, you inferred Amiss hadn't improved. And I brought up Petty as a side note to the relevance of this thread. My apologies

Didn't Amiss kick 4 goals against us? 3rd year player. Pretty sure he'll keep improving. P.S. Petty had 1 kick that day against Freo

At least give either of them a chance over a completely out-of-form, injury prone coach's Pet-ty!

Yes, in the immortal words of the 12th man, we need it to "rain and to rain hard"

100% correct. 0% logic in this stupid selection
