Bang Na Demon

Not only can he do the flash stuff and makes great decisions with ball in hand but works incredibly hard defensively and some of his best moments were the result of that Hopefully he takes Harley Bennell under his wing

Was very frustrating last night watching Nik Nak dominate the taps the way Gawny does but it actually being an advantage to them

Absolutely wrapped! Not only off the dial skills and leg speed but more than a touch of Jack Viney/Joel Selwood about him when he's in the trenches

I hope so. He's a very smart player I didn't mean to bag Spargo. Just they're both midgets but Pickett's tools are unbelievable in comparison with his pace, leap and tackling. Potentially Cyril Rioli-esqe

I hope so, he's an unbelievable talent. If Spargo was worth pick 20 something I'd have Pickett top 5 easily

An absolute beauty

That makes sense. Playing with your mate Eddie Betts doesn't seem like a strong enough reason to completely dispel talking to another club Wonder if MFC knows this too and is the reason they said if he's not interested neither are we? May and KK would have been the first people they spoke to

Hopefully Spargo too can become the completely dual sided kicker and best handballer in the comp Mitchell was. Here's hoping...

I feel for JKH and always had a soft spot for him. Only being 173cm with no pace or amazing side step he's always going to be well down any pecking order but he worked extremely hard and had ambition with ball in hand. Pity his goal kicking at senior level went to [censored] the last couple of seasons cause that could have saved him

The most interesting thing he said was referring to younger players who will initially do anything for the team then sometimes stray from that ethos at the next stage of development. That's exactly what we saw this year

Relax I`m sure the Oscar McDonald contract extension negotiations are well underway and Josh Wagner is locked up

Apparently what impressed Roosy about Goody when looking for his successor was he spoke more about club culture than game plans

Probably add 'but great character' to slow and unskilled

I watched the 1989 grand final recently, one of the 'great' grand finals and the almost complete lack of tackling that day annoyed the bejesus out of me. Watching players with the ball waltz past opponents as though they were witches hats I started saying to myself, FFS tackle him!

It was close but the Doggies hunt just seemed that bit better than ours, we were rarely breathing down their necks they way they were with us. Kinda story of the year. Great to see Petty do so well forward, he's such a natural footballer

Was really impressed by the way The Pies ground their way back into the game last night. They did exactly what we can't manage, they were dominated then just stopped the opposition, nothing pretty and the rest came from there. Our defensive workrate has been seriously wanting much of this year

As the game wore on, all I wanted to see was our mids put Brisbane's under pressure. I didn't care if it degenerated into total ugly and forget talk of our forward line, the ease with which they constantly exited congestion was where we lost the game. Do our much vaunted midfield think the defensive stuff is below them?

I was happy to see us take them on and try and attack and but you gotta work both ways lads. The defensive efforts in our forward line and around the contest were deplorable. I haven't seen us spanked so comprehensibly at the coal face for a long time and it was all about effort

I liked the smirk because he's not getting down on himself then potentially missing them all. Would liked to have seen Trac do that after his run of outs

The same way we've been beat the last xxx years, smashed on the outside. Collingwood's defensive pressure was outstanding and we didn't match there, particularly on the spread

Not only great straight line speed but really good evasive skills too

I copped a groin injury during pre season and it stopped me playing for the year. The pain after it cooled down that night and for quite some time after was severe. Even swimming 2/3 months later I needed a float between my legs such was the discomfort if my legs kicked. Like Steven May I had a scan and it showed nothing. When I saw Joel Smith still running around in the Lions game and it was known he had a groin injury I was yelling at the monitor (I'm in Bangkok) Get him the [censored] off now!

Neville Jetta says hello too

I`m in Bangkok. I still maintain my premium MFC membership which my son benefits from and of course my AFL Overseas subscription
