  1. Yes, should have kept my mouth shut.
  2. I agree. Otherwise, As it sits right now, how do we pay for McAddam and Fullarton with only P41 ?

    I’d like to see Clayton Oliver have a change of roles which allows him to be released into more space. IMO he would be even more damaging and it should allow him to use the ball better as well.

    Under the current system this is our best option. Whether it’s Lobb is debatable, but given that Forwards who can give a competent chop out in the ruck are extremely hard to find, Lobb is worth considering. Failing that, is it Van rooyen ? PS : If the AFL were committed to the development of young Ruckmen , I believe they should allow for a separate substitute for a reserve ruckman during a game to cover for injuries.

    Berry, one of the dumbest footballers going around and extremely overrated.
  6. Great photo, however l’m surprised the club didn’t make the effort to provide all of the names with the article.

    No Plan B, or c or d, never had one. No creativity, no imagination, no dare. Plenty of Blind faith and most likely, ample amount of stubborness.

    For a start, I don’t think Viney should start there. One sided and lacks breakaway speed.
  9. Abyssal replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    No it doesn’t. It doesn’t explain why the Club didn’t identify his true talent and nurture it, instead of favouring others who had received many more chances and clearly had less up side. Having Bedford now would have substantially improved our Premiership chances.

    It’s very easy to hide behind a ‘facepalm’. Was the question too hard for you to answer ?

    How do you finish Top 4 if you don’t make a Preliminary Final ?
  12. Abyssal replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Why do YOU think “he chose to go” ?
  13. Perhaps our biggest deficiency is the lack of quality small forwards. None are instinctive crumbers, most lack speed and they’re not that good at applying defensive pressure. The exception is Pickett, who is inconsistent and too often wasteful. Toby Bedford would have been a very nice keep.
  14. Ok, but what did he do about addressing them ?
  15. Abyssal replied to Random Task's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yes, and he’s done it in fine style. The point is, there’s a huge ‘Elephant in room’ , that is the big MFC blunder in not retaining Toby.

    Why did GWS want Toby Bedford ?
  17. Abyssal replied to dazzledavey36's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    In Greyhound parlance, a Non-chaser. Has Lifetime membership in the Down Hill skiers Club.
  18. Trent Rivers, likely to be rated in the Top 5 at MFC by the end of next year. That said, I think Judd McVee, in time, will be a better player.
  19. Agree. Perhaps a better method would be for a Goal Umpire to refer WITHOUT giving a Soft signal. Then, if it was an ‘Umpires Call’,( insufficient evidence ) the Goal Umpire would make his call after the Arc.
  20. Thanks, previous work not so good though ? 🙂
  21. Possible Left field option, at least for part of the game ? Both Gawn AND Grundy on the ground at the same time, Max playing a kick behind the play with Grundy rucking. Max to take the Centre bounces. IMO Gawn has played some of his best football in this role.
  22. Thanks, it was ‘attempted’ sarcasm, at the same time having a little dig at participants in modern Media who are happy to bludgeon grammar and language in general. As far as Politicians go, I propose they are more Artificial Unintelligence.
  23. Who is AL ?
  24. The AFL Circus On one hand a player must be RETIRED for 5 Years to be inducted into their Hall of Fame, On the other hand …… ‘They make it up as they go along’.
  25. Worthy suggestion. Neal - Bullen fans would be most displeased however.
