Take him over as the extra, but I don't see any changes...

Find out in 2019 ?

Someone is going to miss out on a Casey GF next week and possibly an AFL GF the following week; we will take an extra over to Perth one would think.

Yes, it would have been great to stay at one club and win. Bit this isn’t happening in a vacuum; we needed young midfield talent so Brayshaw wouldn’t be helping us into a prelim if Frawley was still around and, again, we knew he was going to get us a top 5 pick so we didn’t actively keep him. I just don’t think it is a a genuine argument to have a go at Frawley for being less loyal than Jones - we wanted to keep Jones...

He did. And he had a weekend off two weeks ago.

I believe in Melbourne.

Our best mid in two finals in a row... Who thought he was a ‘one trick pony’ again? Just doing what Jack Viney does.

Well he has only had 3 touches in the FWD 50 in each of the last three games. Lot of ball on the wing. Averaged 17 possies in last three games.

Harmes to Mitchell then. He will have 15 tackles... I hope we don’t overthink this. Harmes to Mitchell and everyone else just hunts the footy. Hard at the man and the ball, cause turnovers and get the ball moving forward.

I don’t know him too well, but I know enough to know he is a modest person who works hard and has a lasting relationship with former teammates and coaches (I think this says a lot about an AFL player - last week a he was at a local footy match in Bayswater because a few of his former Ainslie mates were playing for South Croydon). Has been through a lot and is getting rewarded. It’s life affirming.

Viney injury allowed more time on the footy. He’s confident in his ball winning and never hesitates when around the footy. I do have to say that being third fiddle (now 4th) behind Oliver and Brayshaw helps and so does a generational ruckman... But that isn’t a knock - he is in fantastic form.

Ump should have just said incorrect disposal and pay it. They always pay the scrubby kicks as HTB.

It is a very confused post. Memory has a way of changing over time and morph into the story we want to tell ourselves... I am Malcolm Gladwell and this was Revisionist History.

Let me put it this way...

Not for me it doesn’t. If Hogan wants to stay, he stays. And let’s not derail a thread about a kid who played his best game in front of 91k.

Pretty effing good trick! Honestly, Viney is a victim of short memories and the Amazing Progression of Oliver and Brayshaw. Jack Viney is a beast and a leader and if he fit enough, he is in that team and winning that footy.

If Collingwood beat WC then we would play every game at the G. But let’s beat Geelong first...

Source?

Nowhere near? The beauty is in the grey here. Oscar is being pushed by Frost the last 8 weeks... If the MC like Smith, I don’t know who will make way, but Oscar is not ‘nowhere near’ being out of that side. He has a thin needle to middle here; he has to beat an important player, not make any mistakes, and contribute to us moving the footy up the ground.

And Hibberd and Salem and Lewis and Fritsch and maybe Frost... But this argument is irrelevant. Oscar won’t lose his spot Fritsch or Lewis. He will lose it if we think that Lever, Frost, and Hibberd with Gawn behind the footy is more value than having Oscar back there amongst that group.

I am a bit worried. If he is in the team to be the ‘gorilla tamer’ then he is in the wrong pen. Frost went to Cameron and will go to Hawkins. If Oscar wants to stay in that team when Lever comes back, he needs to step it up. And not to sound like @Clint Bizkit here - but he does stupid little things like let players run around him for one-twos and doesn’t man the mark properly. For his age he is fine, I just wonder whether he is in the team when we are healthy.

A great Demon. Came to us at our lowest and gave you a reason to watch the team.

Good footy players will make it work. Hogan in the middle from time to time and Weideman to continue his excellent progression as second ruck. McDonald may need to go back/wing as well if we are too tall. Gawn needs more of Weideman and Hogan is good enough to make it work in my opinion.

Equally, if you don’t want it intimated that your ideas are idiotic and stilted - don’t share them in a thread.

We are walking but that ain't gum we're chewing...
