Not only did Barett criticize the Tyson trade, he also gave us a terrible grade in our trading department, detailing it as another 'scatter gun approach' like us recruiting blokes like Rodan, Byrnes etc from the previous year... For our football department to turn our midfield around this well, and inject players who have had this sort of contribution is far from just a scatter gun approach and quite possibly an awesome year of drafting. I think it's fair to say if we didn't have Tyson playing against Adelaide & Richmond with his center clearances and two goal contributions in both games, we may have not gotten over the line. Our midfield got over Richmond's which won us the game. Without Roos, Todd & Co, the final result would have been a lot different.

Gee imagine Clark back in the side along with Hogan.. We really need Hogan back out there, I feel Dawes will be spent being the number one key target week in week out. He just seems to get double teamed each week now and finding it hard to take a grab.

Watch him get delisted and get drafted by Collingwood

If that's the case, then I am wondering if his back issue has affected his value to a point where Fremantle can make demands where the ball is in their court and Hogan can play the "I'll go into the Pre-Season Draft Card" so we are then forced to agree on a deal where we see us getting ripped off? Does the fact that Hogan winning Caseys best & fairest in his first year as a young player & his no doubt potential and on-field aggression be enough for us to walk away with a win-win if Hogan did demand a trade back to his home state?

Has Tyson already achieved more in his handful of games he has played for the MFC than Sylvia did in his entire career playing for us?

Knew the appeal was going to be upheld from the beginning.

I have it on good authority we will be appealing the case and a QC lawyer will be taking it on and representing Viney. Stay tuned.

I initially posted this as sarcasm as everyone is posting about silly similarities "Stantion etc".. I deleted this post soon after I realised I was posting on Demonland, where someone will go out of their way to quote it using statistics and miss the obvious sarcasm completely.. Young Dee proved my initial thoughts to a tee.. lmao

Seems like Hogan could do with Melbourne muscular therapy, as it's footballers first point of call.. It's where they "address the Cause of Your Pain, Not Just the Symptoms"

Either Salem knows a pressure point that can easily toss opponents without much strength like a Bruce Lee punch, or the player tripped on Salems leg and he just guided him to the ground. Watching that you tube clip it seemed like he tripped on Salem's leg and was guided

I'm sorry, but being a critic of a professional player and then him delivering in one game doesn't warrant an 'apology'. If Pedersen has this ability and chooses when to actually run hard or try he should be owing us an apology for making him watch those god awful games he has previously produced since arriving at the club. I admit, I was and still am a harsh on Pederson, but if he continues this good form I wont be apologising for an AFL footballers pedigree of skill and determination he has finally found, but rather a sense of admiration.

Step 1) Trade Hogan + 2nd round pick or player to Fremantle for Fyfe Step 2) Draft Peter Wright with pick number 1

Seriously what's with all the dropped marks that seemed like absolute sodas?

Not sure if this was mentioned earlier but Jack Viney must have been practicing his kicking, because nearly every pass was delivered lace out beautifully.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Holding the Ball rule is called when a player takes TOO long to dispose of the ball? Handball, Spillage or not. If a player has a ball, takes three bounces along the wing, gets chased down and tackled but handballs it as soon as he gets tackled that is taking TOO long to dispose the football. The other rule is incorrect disposal, where a player would just let the ball drop once tackled. I'm sick of seeing players take SO long to dispose of it, get tackled and get a quick cheap handball out, and the umpires call 'Play on' because they saw a correct disposal. Correct or not, they took TOO long meaning it's holding the ball.

Roos and the football recruitment department will have to play the recruitment of free agency strategically at the end of the year. If the likes of Frawley departs and we recruit someone like Mundy we will miss out on a compensation draft pick as the Afl will deem it as fair. Would we want to recruit a free agent in a high age bracket and possibly miss out on a draft pick that will come after our first pick at seasons end?

Not to mention he said we went with another 'Scattergun' approach in regards to our drafting & trading in picking up Vince, Cross & Tyson... Nek minnit they are our top 3 leading disposal getters and are forming into a credible midfield unit. He is a [censored]

What I'm craving to see is Mitch Clarke back in the squad in the ruck. I have said it before and I'll say it again. Mitch Clark rucking is like having an extra midfielder who is tall, a lovely kick, can mark all around the ground and great below his knees, not to mention a ferocious tackler. Mitch in the middle provides so much more than just ruck taps, he is like a gazelle and can provide great service around the ground. Something I feel we lack in Spencer, gawn and Jamar. This is why I'm hoping Hogan and Dawes both get on the point in tandem with Clarke.

Never seen such ferocity, ball movement and a willingness to RUN to back and forth to get numbers to a contest. I was amazed at how we were handballing from one to the other within the tight contest and then free up movement to generate a clearance and deprive the opposition of possession.

Please no.. don't be true

Walked past him at the shops.. he was admiring my physique and stared me down, when all I could do was laugh at his on the inside.. and he is a professional athlete. LIFT CAMERON!

e25 LMAO, that guy was an absolute germ.. Back to the Toumpas topic, I back him to flourish within the next few seasons surrounded by a much better and more experienced midfield. With the likes of Jones, Viney, Vince, Cross winning hard balls and feeding out to Toumpas who I feel has great composure in traffic and then delivering inside 50 will be the best part of his game. His decision making around the ground will set us up for the years to come. He just needs his hands more on the ball, which will come with our midfield getting better by the year.

I was real excited when JKH slipped to us at pick 40, really did not think he was going to giving his skill. Seems like by training reports he is surprising a lot and looking the goods!

Sounds like how I play GTA lmao...
