Think he was a little down tonight but his value to the team is unquestionable. The off the ball stuff, the experience and leadership he brings. I think there's some good opinions being brought forward here and it's great to discuss but if you honestly think he's done nothing to help the midfield group this year and if you think our unit was as strong last year without him then I'm not sure we're watching the same games. If one of our guys gets targeted by the opposition like Oliver at HT tonight he's the first in there and getting in their face. The culture is changing at Melbourne and he is playing a part in that. i didn't expect Paddy Dangerfield performances when he came across. I expected a guy who is past his prime to offer value in progressing our mids. Has he had some down games? Yes. Will he make it to the 3 years? I don't know, maybe not. Is he doing what we got him for? Yes

Won't ever forget the 9 2nd half goals against Collingwood at the g. Magic

Close enough!

Probably. Still impressive though, Remonds me of a group work email thread I've had going for about the same time period

I just want to say this thread is absolutely incredible

After about 15 years of being a member of Demonland and Demonology sometimes very active to months or even years of no activity on here, I never thought I'd see a thread like this appear. I have unfortunately struggled with anxiety and depression for probably 80-85% of that time. Many ups and downs and I really feel like The condition and my personality have changed a lot over time. I won't go into it too much because there's things that I feel are quite big issues but I'm glad to see people willing to discuss this topic and if anyone wants to chat I'd be happy to.
