Serious question. Can AJ move back? He has the athleticism and the grunt. We need another key back for the big boys and this might be his best chance of developing a senior career.

If fit Jack walks in. With the improvement in Sparrow we know have a dangerous mix of inside and outside. Jack can be used in bursts. It's easy to forget what a maniac the bloke is and how his presence confers a lot of pressure on the opposition. The midfield, which I expected to go backwards, suddenly looks a strength.

Can see the intention but this is immature leadership. Surely there had to be enough nous in the room to know what should and should not be said, or at least consult with the one of the truckloads of SMEs available to the club first to find out. It's pretty clear to that this happened. There needs to be governance over these issues by someone who knows which way the wind blows. You could have easily have had a meeting where you outline your commitment as a club to partners and families, and zero tolerance for abuse, without invoking any names or raising any specific narratives. FFS Melbourne Football Club sort this sh$t out. It isn't that hard.

No, he went mad.

I fear that too many supporters are going to come back to earth with a this. We will be very ordinary this year. We have just started a major Reno.

He is a great player with not too many peers when his head and body are right. With a healthy list they should be favourites to take it out this year.

Yeah you are right, I had a look. He came 2nd. It doesnt seem to have translated into the real world as yet. I think it is the issue that limits Tom Sparrow as well.

The damaging big bodied mids have strength and agility. Kolt has strength. He is a flanker.

Gotcha ta

Please explain?

Even if in the event that he gets fit, and manages to play a solid block at Casey, why would we play an injury prone 30 year old who won't be in our next finals push? This is the player and the club going through the motions and honouring thier contractual commitments.

We are bottom four at least, and probably bottom 2. I would be shocked to see us anywhere near the top 10. I would dearly love to be shocked.

The down side is a good side will send it back quicker. With our defensive game plan, and aim to play the game inside our 50, we rarely got beaten by big margins. I expect this to change. We will get reamed now and then while we adjust to a new plan.

Wet weather specialist. Was crucified by the Romans in the semi but with a remarkable recovery from serious injury saw him an the flag with the double chance.

The time for a new captain is not yet.

And gold digger

Mostly, we will get pumelled in the midfield by the better sides. We will be inconstent until our midfield matures, and our game style develops.

Don't like the sound of that at all. @Pennant St Dee

Should be filthy or Suzanne

Damian, Adem's older brother was a goal kicking machine in those parts.

The enigma.

Alas, we are still in a winter searching hopefully...for the blossom buds, for then we will know, spring will be nigh upon us.

I don't think so. He is a a professional athlete that needs to build body size, which he will do over a few seasons, both naturally and with hard work. It's no different to a young player building endurance capability. He knows it, the coaches know it, and we know it. And everyone knows that will take time and require patience, which if anything takes the pressure off him.
