In an interesting sidelight, both of Melbourne’s reserves, including first gamer Robert Foster, sat out the entire game on the bench. Runner Sam Allica was reported for illegally delivering messages to players other than the captain or vice-captain for the second time in the season.
In other words zero interchanges for the team over the full four quarters.
Granted that the pace of the game is different these days but I reckon our blokes these days are pampered.

After reading the Brock McLean article I can't help but think he's in the same mould. Hopefully he gets it together.
Perhaps the same mould. Steven’s ailment is mental whereas the other bloke’s just a [censored].

I’ll let you all in on a secret. We went on to win the premiership that year.
The interesting thing is that we lost the opening game of the season before finishing on top of the ladder.

The number 2 has been a very stable number. Only four players have worn the number since 1973.

Sorry, but if they can’t play a game like that in front of maybe 300 people, then the first couple of rounds of AFL have to be postponed or cancelled.

Carlton are a one man team. If they show as little as they have in the preseason then they’re in a spot of bother.

Is it happening today?

I believe all tweets about this game should have the disclaimer in this tweet.

a basketballer, you say? get around him cos that's the perfect prep for a future afl career!
very exciting to be waiting on offers from the states - good luck to your boy
He should hang around #5 who happens to be best mates with a handy professional basketballer who is playing with the Philadelphia 76ers at the moment.

I’m intrigued by this man mountain from the Academy. Do we take it that he plays for the Dandenong Stingrays in 2020 and if he’s good enough then he could get drafted?
The club’s publicity machine needs to roll into action on this.

He’s being well advised IMO. This is his last chance to turn his career around and make a decent living from the sport. A return to WA and a single poor decision could mean that it’s all over.

Buckenara isn’t impressed.
AFL draft 2019: Recruiter Gary Buckenara analyses every club’s draft haul
Buckenara says: Luke Jackson at pick No.3 is a risk. While he was the best ruckman in the draft, I had him rated as the 18th-best player because at 199cm he’s undersized for a ruckman at AFL level and I’ve got concerns over his ability to play as a marking forward. I think he’ll be a bit lost in that role.
He’s still raw but there’s no doubting his competitiveness and that he’ll work hard to develop his craft to become a very good AFL player, but he’ll need to improve his marking if he’s going to play forward and ruck. Hopefully he can grow a bit more to get over 200cm and be a better size for an AFL-level ruckman.
Kysaiah Pickett was a bolter at pick 12 but the Demons are desperate for some excitement in the forward line he brings that as well as physicality. I think he’ll be given opportunities at AFL level in 2020. He has Liam Ryan traits.
Buckenara’s verdict: It’s boom or bust on Jackson but they have addressed list needs.

I really am sick of this thread.
Get over it... The MFC will not want at pick 3 or pick 10 a player who cannot play for twelve months.
If you want to start taking bets at whether MFC will take this guy then I am on for $1,000 to say NO WAY.
Do I have to travel to Ohio to collect on the bet?

I understand that we’ve made the decision not to nominate Green. If so, would that be due to an understanding we’ve reached with GWS or are we committed to Jackson and scared that GWS would not match our offer because they want Jackson too?
