Our role players are so good precisely because you play the position you train in and when there is an opening, someone who has trained in that position will replace them. If Angus wants to test himself as a mid in the comp that is his prerogative but it would be a damn shame. We just can’t give him the midfield minutes he wants as he is our 4th best mid and Harmes and Sparrow can’t do what he can do in other roles. But even those latter two don’t spend much time as pure mids. And I don’t think a game here and there is going to placate him. His concussion issues also play a part in just throwing him around being irresponsible - the midfield is the coalface - it can get hot in there even for the best prepared. If he stays, he stays knowing his 4th in the Brownlow is the remnant of what could have been, an unfulfilled promise ruined by circumstance.

Well, that was something. She is so smart and thoughtful. And did they say Derm gave Huddo a drive by during the commentary of a game on the weekend about ‘playing zero games of footy’? Lol, love these blokes losing their minds as people who aren’t former footy players talk about the game better than they do…
This x 1000. I know there will be ‘bang bang bang’ t shirts soon… We are Melbourne supporters, we shouldn’t be so enamoured with neanderthallic rantings during our apogee. We should have a few more years - let’s hope we have another moment with a better soundtrack to define our re-emergence.
You do realise that when they look like idiots, we would have got nothing for Jackson? … Because we would look like idiots too…
You’ll get used to it the more you talk to women… I believe in you!
This is the most you have written on a subject in years! Didn't know you were so passionate about the callers of our great game and those that supply special comments…
Make it a top 10, and have 7 v 10 and 8 v 9 in the bye week before finals. Solved. You're welcome.
That may be the best option. Petty may be the best tall forward bridge to a longer term option.
Would love to know what the Footy Dept thinks of Van Rooyen and his prospects; the tall forward situation is the biggest need we have into 2023 and beyond. If we don’t have the long term solution we can always do what we did with Brown and what GC did with Casboult and fill the need short term to buy time and not commit to the NQR option (ie McStay).
Well, that makes things easier. Or harder. Petty ok to come back? Was he mentioned?
It’s quite excellent now and money will continue to be spent there.
Interesting conversation. Our sustained success will be at the feet of Petracca, Oliver, Lever, Viney, Langdon and whatever stars firms with them past Gawn, May, and the two big boys up forward.
My response was to Geelong. They shouldn’t be here saying hello. Who do they think they are?
Oh, ummm, well… [censored] off?
Where is he playing? He’s not playing midfield with our stars. So HFF? Expensive mid sized forward? Another Fritsch? It’s just not good list management and balance.
TMac played 3rd tall last year so no. Weideman hasn’t been able to replicate the role that TMac played so we look to be going smaller. It may be our best bet and Melksham might be the best medium tall option beside Fritsch. He plays taller than he is, he competes, and he can play a negating role if necessary.
Love all the permutations and possibilities but we are a really good team a game clear in the top 2 with 5 rounds to go. We should be aiming for a home QF.
Perhaps. But their best and worst are polar opposites. Lost to Essendon recently too.
Fritsch is our medium forward with little defensive effort. Can’t afford another one.
