whatwhat say what

err, not even close preuss + pick 62 (marty hore) = dom tyson it was frostball that we paid massive overs for as pick 23 or so, from memory, the pick that became mckenna, who was on our list for a year or two a couple of years down the track

if you were offered three times what you were being offered to do the same job at another organisation, would you knock it back?

three clubs didn't 'offload' him, per se - he left bears as they were a dumpster truck fire at the time (he was one of the 'wantaway five', and got to go home to sa) and pear couldn't come close to giving him the sort of contract that north could all the pear people i know still really rate him, both as a footballer and a person

oliver's the best midfielder i've ever seen at melbourne in my opinion, if he improves his kicking, and starts to kick goals regularly, he'll elevate to being talked being amongst the best midfielders the competition has going around however, i'll take five other team improvements over it: 1. defensive transitioning - we are slow to push back when we lose possession 2. decision making - too often our players either make the wrong choice or make basic errors by foot and hand 3. execution under pressure - so many of our players choke 4. consistency - how many times this year did we lament going to sleep for great periods of time? 5. discipline - we gave away dumb free kicks all too often

hope he stays

Tell that to Bobby Skilton

no for me

he doesn't have the fitness to be a wingman

would think he'd be in our best 22, somewhat shoddy skills or not ultimately, would his inclusion in our side make us a better side? arguably, i say yes langdon's skills were better this year than in previous years; i'd argue tomlinson's weren't as good as they have been at their best against gw$ phillips fills a role we need a player to play, so it's a yes for me...pending cost

nah, he was excellent this year...as an inside mid their wings and forward flankers in particular were absurd i probably would've had may and oliver in the side over andrews and adams respectively, and i might've been tempted to have goldstein in as starting ruckman over gawn i think max getting in is reasonably controversial as he missed three games and was poor in round 1 and at least one other game too - at least they didn't put pendles in, who missed a quarter of the season thru injury - but i would rate his season as being better than nic nat overall

unfortunately so is rowell, and if can get thru half a season he's got it sewn up

travis > jack, for mine but both symptomatic of supporting the dees - two 'almost' great players neither wanted it enough i know jack got dropped to the vfl / sanfl by every single one of his coaches; wouldn't surprise me if trapper was the same what could have been... sad to see jack go out with an injury when he was - for the most part - such a durable player funny that his last full game was probably his best game for the pear, in a role that with a bit more application he could have been a star at, against us, on the g i can't imagine he 'enjoyed' his afl career, but i hope he valued it and looks back on it fondly

wait til he becomes part of coaching conversations :P

sad to see his body let him down like this

i'm hoping they're like boak and gray at the pear - wedded together to achieve together

that's a very long deal for a bloke who is rising 27 at the start of next season

Surely not

he's a 24 year old who has barely missed a game in his first three seasons in the league, and should only be getting better from here on in trading him would be idiocy unless it was for something you couldn't say no to, like jeremy cameron where gw$ pick up 3/4 of his salary

petracca may oliver langdon gawn

no probs with andrews, weitering, and jonas being in the squad...all worthy but may and goldstein should definitely both be in the squad pendlebury missed a quarter of the season, danger was mostly good not great this year; duncan was just about the cats' best, along with guthrie some selections based on 'names', it would seem

he comprehensively doesn't know who is being traded where by whom

north have apparently said that they're not remotely interested in t mac

north have apparently said that they have no interest in him

he should be being groomed as our goodwin replacement i will be extremely annoyed if he lobs at the peptides

is it true that he's not returning phone calls from the club admin? i can't see him being at the club in 2021
