Adelaide Demon

I think it's fair to say the Fyfe is having the best year of the 2009 draftees up to this point, with Martin not far behind. I can't split JT and Scully, both offer so much in different ways. We need to keep Scully.

1 Green 2 Davey 3 Bruce 4 Grimes 5 Jurrah I like the old boys, I'm a bit sentimental like that.

It is the list of the 50 best players of the 2010 AFL Season. For some reason 90% of people think that this is a list of the best players in the league. I believe he does that list at the start of each season. This list a review of the season just gone.

This got me a little excited.

Spot. On. Get him out, if he stays on the list, he's about our 41st or 42nd most useful player. Take a punt on some bloke from country footy or something, anything but Newton! Hope you enjoyed the car, thanks, goodbye Michael.

Certainly one of our best players of the 2000-2009 decade. See how he goes next season. Doesn't necessarily have to be his last although more than likely it will be, but who knows, that's 11 months off yet. He's still able to cover the kilometres as well as ever and finds enough of the ball. Obviously his disposal can be poor but he is definitely in our best 22 at the moment in my opinion. Probably because they are both tall and skinny, Cale Morton reminds me of Bruce. They both find a lot of the ball. Hopefully Morton can become the player that Bruce was in 2005 before his injury. - one of my favourite MFC memories. I loved that day. And Cam's "That's Gold!" celebration too, what a legend.

I said before the start of the season that 8 wins was the aim. After the last month, I think 10 would be breaking even from this point forward. Feels good to say that. Looking at the draw, I honestly think we will be 11 wins 11 losses after 22. This week will be a very interesting one. If we did win 10-12 games, it would be a very rapid rise. I think the Hawks' rise was something that we should hope for, and I think we will emulate it. I think that a model of, starting with the season following the lowest finish(es), 7-8 wins, 10-12 wins, 13-15 wins, Prelim finals, GF/Flag(s), is realistic and should be what we are aiming for. Although if we get 10-11 wins this season that would be a great bonus and could put us a year ahead on that timeline.

He's an interesting one. The fact that Jamar has been sensational has made his position even more interesting. I think he definitely has potential. It is going to be very hard to get spots in this team in the coming weeks, and I'm not sure he can play every week, but there will be a lot of matches where the coaching staff decide that they need him to support Jamar. He's still young and has not been playing the game for long. I'm quite undecided on him at the moment but he should get quite a few games this season and hopefully he shows a fair bit. I just reckon that when Watts and Jurrah are in the side, there won't be a place for him up forward, so then he would be playing solely as a second ruck, which clearly these days isn't preferred every week. Oh and can I also add, he should be second ruck and not Johnson.

Fantastic! He was sensational on Saturday. Won't be the last for our young guns this year. Trengove will be in our best 4-5 players in a year or two, he already looks like a second- or third-year player.

Bruce continues to get more than his share of possessions, and has an influence on most games. His disposal is not good and appears to be getting worse with age. 1 in 4 kicks is a shank, and 1 in 3 handballs seem to miss the target by 1 metre plus. He's still one of my favourite players of the last decade without doubt, he's clearly not the player he was, and that's probably where most of the criticism comes from. If you look at his performances obvjectively, he's still playing some good footy and is in our best 22 for sure. He's still regularly getting 20+ possies and staying involved in the game which is most of the hard part. Bate is the type of player who will take a month to find his feet so I was never concerned about his slow start to the year. He'll kick on from last night.

It was a shocker, the Martin on-the-full was a disgrace as well - the other way.

Yeah, they were all sensational goals. Looking at that, we did have a lot of long goals last night. I loved Greeny's particularly, he bombed it about 60, went through easily from 55. Ah they were all awesome, literally Scully's, Jones' and Junior's were all absolutely storming goals that got me up out of my seat. Ah what a night!

Yeah Fevola's the one with the loosing culture! But yeah I have to admit, until we got six goals up I didn't remove the idea of a Brisbane comeback from the back of my mind. Just read on Nathan Jones' twitter that he said it was the best win of his career. Interesting call from Nathan considering that he played in a winning final against the Saints in '06. Shows how massive what is happening at MFC at the moment is for all of us and obviously for all of the boys too.

Going through the fixture, I think we will get to 10-12 or 11-11 win-loss for the season. Very exciting times!

6 - Moloney 5 - Trengove 4 - Frawley 3 - Bate 2 - McKenzie 1 - Warnock Seriously unlucky is Jamar, Green, Petterd, Jones and Sylvia. Davey, McDonald and MacDonald were also good, Dunn did well to battle on after a smash in the face, Bartram's tackling was ferocious, Grimes continued to show that he is a chance of becoming one of the best players in the comp in a couple of years. Scully has flashes of brilliance, mainly based around his pace, and his goal was superb. Martin battled well and was serviceable, Garland had a couple of great moments and is finding his way back well, Bruce found a lot of the ball, butchered it a fair bit, but wasn't too bad. Bennell was somewhat quiet but his pace and evasiveness could well prove vital to our game plan. And I think I've successfully mentioned all 22!
