  1. why anyone of those 4 over Egan?
  2. Plenty of AFL players decide to return to a club in their home state. If he decides to go we just need to make sure we get the best compensation possible. Both the Eagles and the Dockers will be desperate to recruit him. Josh FF Kennedy will be 30 next year. Freo are a key forward free zone. Competition is always a good thing. I am confident that our rebuild has reached a point where one player leaving will not be viewed as a catastrophe and where we are an attractive destination for players to come to. I am gonna tune out of the endless media waffling that will ensue until he makes a decision.
  3. A Dees fan as a kid. Came to the Dees after being forced out when the Bombers mucked up their salary cap planning. One of the more insipid recruits ever to pull on the jumper.
  4. No.
  5. I'd bring Grimes in for a farewell game to get him to 100 games. For mine the club owes him that after the crap he has had to put up with. Solid citizen and model professional but his decision making and disposal is average. I'd keep Trengove and see how a preseason following a full season of footy after 2 years out sets him up for 2017. Smart footballer, great overhead and good disposal. Its not as if we are short of players to delist.
  6. Happy to part with a second round pick for Hibberd. Turns 27 in January. Quick, reads the play well, good overhead and a long kick. If you search on youtube for Hibberd and BTV you can get some vision.
  7. This from the guy who in late 2007 chose to join the basketcase Blues for a mega contract instead of accepting a lower offer from the Hawks who would go on to win 3 flags over the course of his Carlton career. We are heading in the right direction for the first time in a long time. We still have one of the youngest lists in the AFL. We have accumulated perhaps the best pool of potentially elite self motivated talent this club has had in my lifetime. We have come an extraordinarily long way since Roos, Jackson et al took over. Next year I'll be disappointed if we don't play finals. This year I'm happy that that we have improved greatly again on the field and are in contention for the 8 with 2 games to go.
  8. Its a tough life being a Dee in Camberwell. Too many bloody Hawks fans. Love his passion. See him on the tram to the G on the odd occasion.
  9. Billy has earned $150,055 so far this year. Base - $76,905 (2nd year, 3rd round pick, 11 games in 1st year) Match Payments - $73,150 (14 matchs @ $5,225 - 2nd year, 3rd round pick, 11 games in 1st year) If he plays the last 3 games you can add another $15,675 ie $165,730.
  10. Who knew a 40 point interstate win could be so underwhelming!
  11. J Howe on -3 goals. 2 clangers from the kickin and a dropped mark. Therein lies the problem with Jeremy.
  12. Model professional. Good overhead. Courageous. Decision making and disposal are not AFL standard. Glad he got to 100 games for the club.
  13. to put it more simply the MFC was in such a shambolic state that we needed a bomb proof coach to hold the line whilst we rebuilt our list, our game plan and our commercial operations. $4.5 million very well spent.
  14. Well these days when I go to watch the Dees play we don't resemble 18 guys pulled out of local pubs 10 minutes before the game started. He inherited a basketcase club and team that won 2 games and finished with a percentage of 54.7. A 10 win season with a % of 100 in season 3 is significant progress. As for Prestia outside speed is our key priority for mine. Suspect there will be clubs more desperate for a quality young inside mid.
  15. Before fans sponsor a player there really should be full disclosure of their musical preferences...
  16. Great servant through some very hard years. He is courageous and good overhead but his decision making and disposal are average at best. In 2016 that makes it tough for Jack to play at AFL level.
  17. Three words for Worsfold. "Harden Up Coach" Clubs talk to opposing players managers all the time.
  18. They play games in Canberra because the ACT Government pays them to do so. To wit they sell games.
  19. ...for some MFC member families his may be a 3 figure levy which quite a few might not be able to afford.
  20. Oliver and Brayshaw would make a difference. Easily our 2 best mids. More games into Petracca. Trengove makes good decisions and we might see him soon enough. But yep we still have more than a few placeholders on our list.
  21. Harsh on Neal Bullen. Newton is a placeholder.
  22. And again too many Dees in the contest leaving Port players everywhere as outlets. Seriously Dumb.
  23. Hogan misses from inside 50. Interested to see what his stats are from 20 metres, 30 metres, 40 metres out.
