whatwhat say what

in perth? unlikely

oliver is the best mid i've seen in red and blue and he's only 20 absolute freak of a footballer

Gaff? Yes please

for me it'd be 2, 11, 13, and 31 (more from a historical perspective than any recent players, although i love fritsch already) 2: jones, tingay, flower 11: gawn, stynes 13: oliver, yze, jakovich 31: fritsh, grimes, $cully, wheatley...and from a historical perspective rdb

biggest test of his presidency coming up - the appointment of a new ceo

interesting that they say six weeks for avb yet say he'll be playing after the bye; which is in four weeks?

He’s quick but at the moment he a) is not winning enough football and b) turns it over when he gets it He is an “asset” for us and if traded I’d hope he’d probably be worth a late first or early second round pick, if there is actual demand for his services, which is probably way more than he is actually worth for a bloke who can’t make our side at the moment I’d like to see him continue to work on developing his game - he needs to force his way back into the side through weight of won ball and defensive pressure, neither of which he is doing at afl or vfl level at the moment

blocking is guaranteed to be rule of the week this coming weekend interesting that they highlighted oliver blocking

viney for tyson makes sense in terms of mid-for-mid, but the others under pressure would all the small pressure forwards like anb, hannan, plus spargo - didn't realise spargo had laid zero tackles; i still think he's a super handy player but when we won by 69 points and still out-tackled the oppo it's unusual for a pressure forward to not lay one as such, i guess garlett comes in in his place it's very hard to know what role viney will be able to play first up at afl-level - i understand he played 70% of game time, but how much was thru the midfield at casey? that's low for an afl mid, especially an inside clearance player vince and weideman are vital to our structure in my view, and i don't want either of them rested or dropped

yeah, daveydee does not sound like a demon

what if we sold 1 game to china for $1m (if not more) and we played port there, as opposed to two in the nt? we play port at adelaide oval on a friday night and then the following saturday in china...then have the bye port make good money on it - there's no reason that melbourne wouldn't be just as strong in terms of tourism $$ etc for china as them ...mostly i just don't want to play two home games in the nt anymore

i'm very curious to see which vic club sells the game next year - the suns won't be back it better not be us! i'm presuming saints as footscray have ballarat and north go down to tassie, plus we sell our two home games to the nt i wonder how much longer that will happen for...

I couldn’t get over his field kicking on the weekend It looked like he was drilling 50-60m passes He is a very, very special player

Day copped a week

nope, i disagree and curnow the senior should absolutely be suspended for a week

cheers for the updates, looking forward to the full write-up

it's disgusting that there's so much to like about the filth (plus i cannot stand the cats)

Viney for Tyson

I didn’t mind Weed’s game tbh - he competed in the air and at ground level He’s a 21 year old who has played 15 or so games Didnt get near it but his ability to play his role is crucial as it frees up T Mac and Hogan The latter’s running capacity is freakish

Love it when the Pear beat the Crowbots, Robbie Gray stars, and Jack Watts is ordinary

Very hard to tell on telly 6: Lewis 5: Oliver 4: Gawn 3: Harmes 2: Jones 1: T Mac

This is painful to watch

Thus far the worst thing is when we inevitably do turn it over going i50 the corridor seems to be wide open for Hall and Martin to link up and carry the ball the length of the ground They’re not wasting opportunities like we are currently

Why do I feel so confident with Plugger i50 but completely terrified of T Mac coming out of the backline? Brilliant read of the ball by ANB

I detest watching us on the tv; I find it so much more stressful than watching live We are getting the repeat entries i50 but wasting so many opportunities
