BW511

Having heard the Maynard whispers, it was fitting that he came up holding the ball after that huge pack grab in the dying minutes. He is a warrior and thrives when the stakes are highest. Anyone who thinks he is not worth pursuing should probably have a look at the job he did on Fritta, while still being the catalyst for plenty of Collingwood's forward movement. Can play

I reckon the selection of BB over Weid after their injury spell was the final straw. Sam is the most extreme case of a confidence player I have ever seen He is not alone at the moment though, we had many players down last night and there’s been quite a few just going for a number of weeks now

I feel the opposite about Lockhart, it seems like the coaches wrote him off early last year when there was some media focus on his laughing in game. He hasn't been sighted since. Regarding Hibbo, I would say his form this year is unexpected. In the same way T-Mac has completely turned his game around. Doubt anyone expected either of them to be performing the way they are this year.

If the commentary suggesting Clarko was not the man for a rebuild at the Hawks, why would he take on that role at the Pies? Would be great for the Pies, but not sure it is that clear cut for Clarko?

From everything that has been mentioned prior to this, I don't think the players will care one bit that Buckley is standing down. That is the whole problem

I have a lot of admiration for him, he has been at the helm of arguably the biggest club in the land, with a new controversy every year it seems. He has weathered the storm with Racism, Ed, Board takeovers etc. Would happily take him on in a part time role should Yze walk With Carlton and Collingwood both looking to be coachless for 2022, you have to think either of Clarko or Sam Mitchell fills one of the roles and Ross Lyon probably takes the other

It would be an absolute disaster to have Weitering and McKay at either end and not build a competitive side around them.Many teams would dream of that pair! Seems like it might be a tail wagging the dog situation down there, similar to Collingwood at the moment

The Viney comparison will stick with him for ever, poor bugger. For what it's worth, Viney is very good at what he does, however there are limitations. Think Sparrow is more rounded

Oops! He's a favourite of mine. Love the dynamic Sparrow, Jordon & Kossie (when in) add to our midfield

He never looks overawed, has a couple of slip ups from time to time but he's going to be a very good footballer for a long time

This seems like a pretty half-arsed result to me, if you'd even call it a result

Melksham tagged himself out of the game, again

Is Burgo the best recruit in Melbourne history? The greatest thing about this year is we can get completely outplayed and still never be out of it. This is bloody exciting to be a part of

Petty is really slotting in nicely, he is looking calmer with each game

Clarry is immense at hitting contests at full steam

Monster goal from the kid

F*^%, Zorko is one of those blokes you just love to hate.

Don't know what is going on at the Saints, but boy are they insipid

Pretty excited for this one. Think it's a nice little stretch to test our character with 2 genuine contenders in 2 weeks. I'm concerned about the structure Langdon provides and his positioning. It is incredible how often the ball seems to find him. Trac is due to rip a game apart and with Clarry getting all the hype in recent weeks, he may just slip under the radar (relatively speaking)

Key defender at 192cm & 79kg’s is a stretch. Maybe he becomes a third tall in the Tomlinson mould, albeit 2cm shorter

Reckon there could be wholesale changes at the pies over this offseason. They would probably take anyone

Bruzzy would be a superb addition. Plenty of grunt about him and is a ready made replacement for Nev/Hibbo. Does not really fit the dees Private School stereotype, but Bruzzzzzzy!

The hairstyle leads me to believe he drinks a bit of his own bathwater. It may be well off the mark, just what it portrays to me. I don't agree with @Diamond_Jimthat he walks into any starting 18. I think there would be a few coaches who wouldn't accept the off the ball stuff. Port, Brisbane and Geelong immediately spring to mind. He definitely picks and chooses when he wants to contest

Fair point on Bruest

He's an interesting one. I can appreciate his goal kicking but don't necessarily rate him that highly. If the game is on our terms he is handy, when it isn't he becomes very ineffectual. He can't create a goal in the way a De Goey or Stringer could with brute strength or a massive contest
