Go the Biff

Sounds like someone we could use. If he's a better version of say Mitch Hannan then he improves us. I'll leave you to make the arrangements @BigMacjnr

Why would you get smashed for that ? I reckon your assessment is spot on.

I think - to be honest wasn't paying much attention - he has been played off half back whereas my Saint mate reckons he's better as a high half forward delivering inside 50. But I may have that 180 degrees wrong

A Saints mate of mine reckons he's been played out of position the last couple of years and his form has suffered as a result. Might be worth kicking the tyres to see if he fills a need.

If I recall correctly this bloke not only can't hit a target he'd struggle to hit a cow's arze with a banjo. Sounds like an ideal Frosty replacement

Bears, Vikings, Pats. Would like to see Green Bay get up. MNF Browns @ San Francisco is intriguing.

Petty won't be played forward if TMac and Weed are fit & available. I was thrilled to see him play forward where you have to lead your defender to the ball and had been hoping he'd play forward at Casey to assist his development. The AFL games up forward have been great experience for him. But his value is as a defender He's a better mark and kick than Frosty and will slot in beautifully alongside Lever & May. I see him developing into a Jared Rivers type

Absolutely. This was well before Hogan shot through

I should have done the multi quote thing. Pretty sure I recall reading that Bennell's mum didn't want him returning to Perth when it became apparent he was out of GCS. I think she feared the impact of him renewing some of his associations

If all that is true then we should get him in . ASAP and get him settled in Melbourne & on a rehab/ fitness program. The risk is one space on the list. If he gets to even 75% of his best it;s a huge win. He has what we sorely lack. For those worried about our "culture" we have a perfect mentor for him in Nev Jetta. Like Bennell, Nev is a Western Australian indigenous man, a man with a young family and he's also an expert in making the most of your last chance in AFL. Which has to be better than Bennell's earlier examples - Karmichael Hunt for instance.

He's doing ok so far !

It's a sport second Jack. But it - at AFL level - is a product first and is being administered as such

It's been a good round for a comp based on tipping away wins. You could have just about used the dartboard this week & got away with it.

Chiefs, Chargers & Pats will do. Short priced trifecta I'd imagine

Good post. Two years is a good idea. Let's him know that we're fair dinkum and not just having a speculative ping at the stumps. And Nev would be a great mentor.

This won't end well.

Morton's first 2 years were good. Really good. After that we're to blame for his demise as much as he is. Probably more Masten is a ball butcher. Always has been

Tough week. Lot of short priced home teams. Good luck punters Rams, Bears & Panthers. Can't say I'm all that comfortable with any of them

Pats, Chiefs.......... yeah I'll make my debut with the Browns as well. Be cheering Cleveland with JV7

Yeah, I'll get on that combo as well

Yes

Bloody good article. Respect to Robinson, He has completely reinvented himself with the Bears and is a damn good footballer and a key part of their resurgence. Whether he could have done that in the Melbourne footy fishbowl will never be known but if memory serves Fork 'em, picking up both he & Jeffy at the same time might not have been the brightest bit of business

There's a decent list I'd have cut before him. We now don't have a single AFL quality small forward on our list. All the best Jeffy, you were a terrific addition to MFC. Hope life after footy is good to you. Thanks.

We've got one small forward of AFL quality on the list. Garlett. Go back to the pre-season (before 1st shoulder injury) and he was first picked for that role. Early in the season also, first picked for that role until shoulder injury 2. No one has since proved they are superior to Garlett in that role. Most of the options named in previous posts struggle to get a kick at both AFL and VFL level, let alone be a goal scoring threat. Lockhart is the best of the bunch but I'd be grooming him as Nev's successor. I get the whole forward pressure thing - Garlett may not tackle like Viney but he does, with his speed, apply pressure to opposition defenders. But if that's your main criteria then Jordie "Tackles" McKenzie would still be on the list The best form of pressure has always and will always be scoreboard pressure. Garlett's our only small forward who can regularly kick goals. We'd be mad to turf him out without a ready made replacement

Fence, if you weren't being melodramatic I suspect most would think your account had been hacked SHEEEIT
