  1. I never thought I'd be saying this, but I feel comfortable when ANB is hitting up a target. His vision is very good and his execution has improved out of sight.
  2. Where does Jack play today? He could do some damage has a medium sized half forward who can take a good overhead mark?
  3. Need to come out and make a statement. Apart from the Doggies game, we have never been in control from the start. Allowing the opposition to kick themselves into a 3 goal lead by quarter time hurts us big time, especially with percentage playing a pivotal role to determine the top 8.
  4. Question...Every time Brayshaw runs out onto the park, is this a case of one more concussion could mean the end of his career? Just thinking what that could mean for the mental side of things for young Gus. I know he likes to play tough, uncompromising footy however just worried that'll play a huge part in his form and him returning to his best when that's constantly shadowing him.
  5. It's do or die games like these where we drop the ball. Everyone is bringing up things like breaking curses such as beating St Kilda, North, Etihad etc. Want to break a curse Melbourne? Win this crucial game where we are favourites!
  6. You do not, I repeat.. do not spend that kind of money on a player. You build a premiership, not buy one. Would rather look at someone like a Lesley to fill that spot and develop him. Frost came cheap as chips and he has started to develop into a key back for us.
  7. The kid is deceptively tall. The way he looks physically, and also the way he moves like a small forward. Very hard match up!
  8. I hear and read this all the time. Unfortunately opposition supporters are so clueless, they are living in the days of when we drafted players such as Trengove, Scully, Morton, gysberts, Strauss, blease etc. No idea the turn over our list has and how many gems we have actually found late in the draft. You ask any one eyed opposition supporter what pick we got T mac, Harmes, Neal bullen, Hannan, Stretch etc they'd have said between 1-25.
  9. And who said Tommy Mac couldn't play forward!! Kicks a bag of 5 including the match winner. Goodwin, take a bow!!!
  10. I think fans underestimate just how good Salem is. He has so many attributes it's scary how good this guy will be. Strong mark, elite kick, hard to beat 1 on 1, tough at it, tackles well. Apart from glaring speed, this guy is quite the package.
  11. Melbourne, there is just so much to play for this game. Please, back yourselves in and learn to win these crucial games. I'm sick and tired of dropping games like this where we have everything to play for and the moment just drowns us like a massive wave. GET IT DONE DEES!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. I reckon a helmet would probably help there. Maybe?
  13. Why ask for stats on a game, then say you take 'zero notice' of a 47 stat disposal game?
  14. I think his field kicking goes underrated here. Always seems to use the ball cleaning and lowers his eyes. He has had a few midfield stints which I was impressed with, would like to see him more in the centre around stoppages.
  15. Hannan really surprised me on the weekend. I'll put my hand up and say he was one I wanted to see come out of the team, however he proved to be one of our best players on the day. I was quite impressed with his body work 1:1, and his willingness to play on at every opportunity and create play. He set about about 3 goals with his smart decision marking and hitting up targets instead of blazing away. Good stuff Mitch, keep it up!
  16. In the third quarter, Petracca marks on the 50 metre arch against 2 North players, who subsequently went to ground and Petracca stayed up. He jumped over the player and was about to blitz and stream into what would have been an open goal. One of the North Players purposely tripped Petracca and help him back/dragged him to the ground, which was deemed a trip. I'm sorry, but how isn't something like this awarded a 50m penalty and not even looked at the MRP? If you intentionally trip someone who has the opportunity to stream clear, and you hold them up by tripping them, they should be suspended and the player should be awarded a 50m penalty.
  17. Gold Coast may be wanting an established player for May. Hawthorn are into him also, but don't have trade picks to get him in so they'll look at sending someone of experience to land him. If we want him, we will need to give up something. Out: Tyson, 2nd round In: May, 3rd. I think that would be reasonable enough.
  18. Probably the most naive, uneducated and uninformed comments about gaming. I can completely understand how you can think this is and miss the point 'entirely' about what professional gaming is actually about. In your mind it's basement dwelling, unsociable, apprehensive individuals, who can't hold a conversation or function when installed in a social environment. It's honestly the complete opposite. These guys/including myself in the past had to live in a house that was funded by sponsors and management, live with team mates, travel overseas competing for million dollar prize pools, conduct interviews for fans, sponsors, players, attend expos, play and be featured on live TV/broadcasts with over 20+ million tuning in, maintain a healthy and mental well-being lifestyle, constantly be on the move, learning, adapting and competing at a top level to justify high-paying player profile contracts within a massive cut-throat industry. So yeah, I can see how you can miss the point entirely about gaming. But again, each to their own.
  19. Sorry mate, but this is quite an ignorant statement. I used to play games heaps when I played professionally, but at the same time I went to gym (and still do) 6 times a week, played sport and ate healthy. Right now when I work full time behind a desk staring at a screen all day, it's actually more unhealthy than staring at a screen playing games professionally.. It's what you do outside of your activity (whether that's work or playing games professionally) that defines whether or not you're a healthy person, not just because you 'play games' lol..
  20. Team Leagacy is a multi-eSports organization, where they host players who represent the team under various game titles. Overwatch is a first person shooting game, CoD = Call of Duty, war shooting game, CS is counter strike another first person shooting game and DoD was an old school shooter game also. eSports video games are a mixture of titles. Some are war / shooting games where you play 5v5 against another team. There are other games called LoL (league of legends) where it's 6v6 and it's called a 'MOBA' game where you select a 'hero' and gain experience and points and eventually you have to enter the other teams base and kill their 'throne / well' Honestly, they won't be any benefit at all. Adelaide and other clubs were low-balling offers to get into the eSports market and tests the waters. Legacy players might end up donning their Guernseys and playing under the brand, but eventually Adelaide will soon realize there isn't enough coming from them to benefit having them as a side.
  21. Agreed. I went competitive in Overwatch also, was invited to attend World Cup and represent Australia but didn't have the time to take off work or dedicate myself to it. Huge game and the way to go currently.
  22. Yeah? Was it CoD or CS or DoD? I was in Team Immunity. Yeah, very heavily dominated by them. We do well, but it's massive overseas.
