jumbo returns

I'm assuming you mean recognise? I'm with you! I've never seen so many players at the club with so much muscle definition.

Yep, fair enough....it's just that he reminds so much like an early Tommy Mac.

How so? I think that in 20 or so games he'll get his rhythm and timing back and it could spell curtains for Joel Mc.

I love the way this guy moves, Dan. He's brave, has elite kicking skills and pace. Very, very highly rated as a drift pick.

Strauss will make it.Was developing beautifully until his horrific injury. Can't wait to see him get 20+ games under his belt - will be as good as Tommy Mac.

Since there were so many reports, did *youse guys happen to catch up with each other? Or, are some things left anonymous/mysterious? *depression sets in as I'm back to work tomorrow.

What about one against Gys?

Two clubs have freed heaps of salary cap room to land a 'big fish' - Freo and GCS. He might be that fish.

All the players that were traded or delisted were never up to it.

I watched quite a few replays. It was good to analyse and see what Neeld was trying to do. Unfortunately, there were many players that weren't up to it - most are gone.

Not sold on Tigers.....too many overachieved last year. They'll be found out this year as their bottom 10 are quite poor. Carlton in the 8 is something I agree on, but it chokes me to admit it.

JT is captain for more reasons than his on field performance.

You're joking, right? Rioli goes harder than any other player in the league...have a look at his efforts in a game where he tackled 3 players to get the ball. When it's his turn, he goes and goes very, very hard.

I've got to buy into this....sorry. Watts in the middle? To do what? Hates contact! Nup - allow Jordie, JV, Jonesy and Col to sort this out.

No worries.

I never said that TimD is/was Rhino.

True that..

Oh, ffs!

I'm enjoying the debate and don't take my fmd too seriously - I just found out what it meant last year and it amuses me when Rhino Richards uses it. I probably am fighting a figment of my own imagination and needed something more to sustain me when the Club was at its lowest ebb. At the end of the day, if the worst thing that happens in my life is that JW will develop into a 'good, ordinary footballer' for the MFC, things will be okay

Ultimately, that will be his role...as a decision maker with open space. A 'good, ordinary' footballer. Some on here think he's the messiah. Fmd.

Tom Hawkins was imposing himself on contests in his first year.I think he kicked four or five in one of his early games against us. JW is not a star and never will be.

Correct.

Bail is the 1st (maybe the 4th or 5th) player picked every week if his head is clear. He is a real goer, who works hard and loves the contest - Neeld type of player...along with Jordie, very much appreciated and respected by the FD. As an aside, used to be good mates with Gys, tried to help him to do extra sessions, but Gys refused - they had a falling out. True story.

How long? How many contracts? Will JW continue to tease a la Col Sylvia? Newton? Martin? Miller?

Dom Barry?
