So it is OK to recruit Bennell with his background and it is OK to hang onto Brayshaw with his concussion issues but it is not OK to recruit a guy like McCartin who in his words is over his concussion issues.. That make stupid sense... NOT !

Paddy McCartin is effectively delisted by St Kilda. Do you guys think we should recruit him for 2021 season. Seems to be over his concussion issues and wants to continue playing. Only 24 years of age. Maybe Richardson should have some input on that matter. BUT only if the Demons change their game style and kick inside 50 more accurately. 49 inside 50's for 8 Goals is deplorable. McCartin could add versatility and we could swing T Mc back to CHB

I agree they are either guilty or not guilty. There is no "in between" or "negotiation scenario" Typical Eddie and the colliwobbles.

Do not lecture me you fool. I read what was written and my comments are relevant.

Totally agree. That was my concern also. But I am sure players realise they are picked with things like 1. Weather 2. The opposition etc is concerned.

Absolute stupid comments that only inflame a sound Board, a sound Club and Coaching group at present. How about looking at the facts such as the reason for the terrible year last year.. ( due entirely to a massive amount of required operations post 2018 season which is to some extent beyond the Coaches or the Clubs control) . Look at the fact that they brought in Darren Burgess as a high profile Trainer and not to forget the fact that this season is an upset unplanned year due to Covid. How about supporting our Club as it stands and not place yourself above people who are in the know. Your comments are disgusting and frankly do more harm than good.

Well at least the Demons will be assured of a win tomorrow

Just sour grapes from a few who will not give Goodwin more time. He is a good coach and needs supporting.

Agree...

O Mc no way!!!!!!!!! he will be playing for the Bombers again... T Mc CHB and the Weid at CHF otherwise I agree.

Play T Mc at CHB, drop Smith and bring in Hibberd for the experience against the Bombers. Also, someone needs to make way for Pickett so who it gonna be ??? CHF to go to the Weid but who ya gonna drop....?

That is the best suggestion I have heard all year. McD Tom type needs to return to CHB and maybe bring in the Weid at CHF. Either way Smith must go and the experience of Hibberd should return for the Essendon game.

I really think you are being too hard on a Team that has not payed for twelve weeks. The Club needs to settle its players down and YES there were mistakes Saturday but we need to learn from them and move on. Even Coach Goodwin admitted that. On a different note I feel that Smith needs to go out and Hibberd needs to come back in. ( Experience counts) McDonald needs to find his straps otherwise he will be on the outer as well. As for Rivers, yep, he is going to be good as will Jackson from what I saw from over here live in the USA

So why post the link in the first place ??? Drrrrrrrrrrrr

Smith maybe unlucky and miss out this week and I think Hunt and Jones/ ANB may make way for Pickett and Vanders. I do not even think that Jackson will miss out. He will be given more weeks for confidence building. Agree CFB needs a O Mc but I am not a fan as sometimes he plays for the opposition when he gives away goals.Maybe Hibberd comes in for Smith at CHB...?? Lever def a half back flanker in my mind.

YES ! ANB is in..

My best five in my lifetime (not in order) would have to be: Ronald Dale Barassi Alan Johnson Robert Flower Gary Hardeman Jim Stynes David Schwartz Hard to leave out Lyon, Dixon, Adams,Mithen, Wells, Brian Keneally,,,,,,, etc

No it did not... As late as four years ago they were a strength

My gut feeling is we would have.. Just think Jordan Lewis would have played for only one Club.... Ha ha ha ha

Who remembers the Hawthorn Demons jumper... At least we would have won a Premiership or three since 1964

If it is Jeremy Nicholls is that the same guy who was on the Board of the MFC in 2013. Records show "X" player on Google

Dammm I thought you were serious.. I think its a good idea.....
