Fair enough, I do appreciate your insight.

Come on mate, it's off season. Save the fire for the season and gameday threads!

That's right. There's a forward spot up for grabs and someone needs to reach for the brass ring. I've barely seen or heard a thing about this guy but I'm hoping he's in the mold of someone like Tim 'Bull' Smith and just competes and competes till they have to go home.

Thank you for this Jack. It gets harder and harder to find a full draft list quickly online.

Wouldn't hurt! Well, only the Pies..

@Wilson7 On behalf of DL thanks for being among the first to use the new thumbs down feature. I'm genuinely interested to hear your side and on why you disagree. From where I sit there's an awful lot of spruiking going on and it seems to be less about Kalani, more than happy to hear other sides though.

42 is a great number for him, I've always said that and being saying it for years..

There's a thumb down reaction now

It's getting a little cringe tbh.

And don't forget a mongrel with mongrel.

Happy birthday Charlie Knuckles, have a great one.

This is exactly why I didn't see it coming, if anything he should be a no.9. That's hilarious btw, I always see No.2 as the more boring and dour but honest CB or FB in the team.

He's a good player agent

I don't think Langford is going to be likened to anyone, he's a massive point of difference aerially and with his left foot. Could be a metres gained player like Hayden Young or a physical presence like Trac, who knows.

Never forget you can make up 2cm in height through sheer mongrel.

Didn't expect Turner with 10. At all.

Man I wish I could find the membership card thing they sent out that year with all the draftees, the fresh faced shot of Max always made me laugh. I kept this on the fridge for years and had scribbled out the photo of the no.1 pick and wrote some expletives next to it.

Plenty but Harrison Petty is the key one for me. The foot was clearly an issue early on but if he gets a good pre season in I'm confident he can provide value whether forward or back. Tom Sparrow another one who really needs to cement his place. The coaches could do him a favour too by dropping this HFF experiment. Oliver for obvious reasons and for god's sake Christian Salem if you can just recapture half of that 2021 form then we'll be in good stead. McAdam will be playing for his career at this point so a big year from him is necessary, give us 10 possessions and 1-2 goals a game and you'll be in. Kade Chandler ditto, needs to get more of it and do better with what he does get. I'm surprised that Jake Lever hasn't been mentioned, needs to stay healthy. To be honest you could name half the list.

Texans, Seahawks, Bucs

West Coast be like..

Good player

Take it easy mate, more to life than footy 🙂

As it stands I'll have up until April on my current Kayo subscription but will be cancelling. Really don't want to and I do appreciate the Members price but it's just a bit much at this point of the year which the Xmas period to come. We'll see how it goes but I think there could be a lot more pub going.

I don't think there will be an ANB replacement to put it bluntly. I'm sure that nearly every big MFC fan understands the value that he brought to the high HFF/Mid role with incredible defensive pressure but I'm still not sure if they quite get just how critical he was to our structure and the way we were playing. You really did have to sit in the MCG and zone on him for a few minutes at a time to see just how much his pressing up and tracking back, the angles he would run and filling the space was critical to locking it in and making sure we were setup behind the ball. It's what ANB did without the ball that was imperative to our setup and that goes far beyond just the defensive pressure, getting in ball carrier's faces and making tackles. Not a plug and play position and even if someone does take the defensive HFF role whether it be Spargo, Chandler, Woewodin, whoever. The role, and what will be asked of them, will likely be quite different. In short, do we need someone to play the pressure HFF? Yes we do. But a different kind of pressure forward. The Nibbler role is probably a thing of the past now and the wrong thing to do would be to try and find the next Nibbler.

I hope he's a Barry Hall type
