He doesn't get his hands to the ball in the air enough he just seems get pushed out of the way.

His defensive efforts aren't going to make any highlight reels either.

Really needs to deliver in 2022 or its curtains. Let's hope he does but I have doubts.

Can we please add premiership player?

I just rewatched the On The Couch after the GF and Garry made Goodwin reveal one of the main messages at HT “get it and kick it”

 

Ironic considering Barassi's handball, handball, handball grand final speach.

I wonder how he has dealt with getting a Premiership medallion without getting onto the ground? 

Shame Maysie didn't take himself off about half way through the final quarter to give JJ a run. He (Maysie) was physically done.

We tried to get him on.

There is no reason it had to be May either.

Magnificent 

Spine chilling

Gets me pumped up every time 

very emotional 

when Clarry raises the arm and signals after the goal, that’s when I dared to dream that we’d win 

and we did 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 🏆

Oliver is the best player I have seen in my lifetime for the dees. When he raises his arm I knew we were home.

If my premiers jumper hasn’t arrived, then I’m wearing my demonland T-shirt. 

I still haven't taken off my Demon jumper. It might smell a bit by December.

The only thing I like about Collingwood.

Max Gawn didn't mind a smokey.

I really think this draft is to our advantage. We draft competitive players and we know who they are without watching them play for the last 2 years.

What a pick up, really happy with this move, was awesome before she did her knee

Doing your knee at Melbourne is like a badge of honour.

Adelaide, Collingwood maybe

Adelaide will have massive improvement this year. Burgess is a huge get. 

Need to add winner of Coaches Award to the list of honours.

Son of a gun and East Fremantle colts skipper Taj Woewodin putting up some seriously quick times in the 20m sprint. 2.906 and 2.898 seconds in his first two. Melbourne get priority access to him in the draft. https://t.co/OtjD5oGytK

Just said on the news he ran the fastest 20m in the WA draft combine

Tracc was special. And delicious.

Not quite ready to say we’re on par with Richmond yet alone above them and Hawthorn. Not sure what Bruce is saying by calling us more exciting. The 3rd quarter burst will go down in history for sure, but otherwise I’m not convinced.

The suffocating defensive pressure and crisp handball game of the Tigers gets really underrated because they had a few unfashionable role players. When they clicked in to top gear in grand finals they were a joy to watch. 

And Hawthorn’s kicking and organisation changed the league entirely. 08, 12 (in a losing effort), completely shutting down Sydney in 14, they were a special side.

Im glad we’ve got a chance to forge our own legacy but I think big statements are a little silly.

I'd hate to see how miserable you will be after a threpeat.

For us yes.

Matthew Scarlett might disagree.

I know which one I prefer.

Viney's toe poke forward late in the third quater has to be the the greatest and most meaningful toe poke in history.

Our own Clark Keating.

Rest him until the finals next year.

That is the greatest Melbourne victory of all time. To come back from 44 points down was remarkable.

It was the beginning of the greatest streak I have ever seen. After that game bang, bang, bang

Would be interested to know just how much Jack Watts and Tom Boyd would’ve paid not to be the number 1 picks if they could.

Apart from hurting your rivals the best reason to bid is to take away that pressure.

Tom Boyd is a premiership player who in my opinion should have won the Norm Smith that day.

I will always love Jack Watts but he was taken at a time our culture wasn't right.

Petracca was taken at number 2 and Brayshaw at number 3.

I don't think if either were taken at number 1 it would have affected how they went about this year or on grand final day.

Milara is a legendary surname at West Coast?  You might be thinking of Matera.

From what I understand he comes from the Matera family.

Thanks for that.

The most fascinating thing for me is pick 12 and 13

12 - West Coast

13 - Essendon

Wanganeen-Milara in the mix.

Legendary surnames at both clubs.

Or Stephen Tingay for me. Three great no. 2’s of my lifetime. 

Stinga was an all time favourite of mine. Pre truck, Gawn an Oliver.

I think the number has to be rested for a bit until we are absolutely sure the next player to wear it is a gun.

Maybe Laurie might but let him play some proper VFL first and earn it.

Agree 

Other than the Gc and the adelaide  wins near the end  , we never smashed offensively . Our Defence won the games . We also kicked badly  in some games . Doubt  our average winning margin was more than 3-4 goals Come finals . We smashed offensively .

I think Goodwin left it until the finals to show our cards. He is a gambler and didn't want to give our hand away early.

Then when he did we came up with a Royal Flush.

The greatest season I have ever seen

Mainly before the finals we just seemed to strangle teams over the course of the match.

Then in the finals we just destroyed everyone.

Bang - bang, bang, bang

Brayshaw I think. I think there is a little bit of the helmet visible.

With a nogan like that I can't believe he doesn't get it into the picture

Legend of the MFC. The greatest thing is I don't even think he is our best player.
