whatwhat say what

exactly, hence why i say he's a walk-up start for best 22

he's a walk up start best 22 anyone suggesting otherwise is being silly

jesus wept...how DUMB ARE WE as a football club... t mac hurt his toe drilling drills inside in BARE FEET... McDonald said it was like a ‘turf-toe’ incident and he felt the problem occur during an inside drill. “We were doing some tackling and contact work inside, in bare feet, and as we do all of our stuff in boots, I reckon my feet weren’t as conditioned to doing stuff bare foot,” he said. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-04-24/mcdonald-edging-closer-to-return

i still don't rate him but his third quarter was what i expect of him unfortunately the other three quarters were diabolical he's no better than toumpas with his skills, and he's slower than trengove whatever we get for him at the end of the year will be a win

The issue is they planned for him to be in the box in 2018 It’s lasted four weeks So either the plan hasn’t worked and they’re reverting to 2017 set up or the communication inside the box with him as part of it has been problematic Either result is not great imo

Shambles

Brayshaw not Hogan, obviously Pretty sure that Hogan will be a free agent at the end of 2019, which is a bit scary

If we can get a first round pick for Brayshaw I couldn’t sign the paperwork fast enough Just don’t rate him

at one stage he was so highly rated as a youngster, so fingers crossed his ceiling is high and he gets there and then smashes thru it like it's a coburg player

magic beans? wines is going nowhere - will be their next skipper i fully expect we may target a free agent - gaff, dahlhaus, lynch (unlikely unless we lose hogan), etc. - as vince is ooc and we need to keep bringing talent in in order to get better

pre-emptive move - all clubs are preparing for the afl stopping clubs owning pokies licenses, whilst at the same time taking in excess of $10m from crownbet to be official wagering partner, plus all the residuals from the other gambling companies the afl hypocritical? well, i never...

i'd hazard a guess, if hogan isn't in it, that these are the top 6 untradeables: gawn, oliver, petracca, viney, t mac, jones (plus all the other veterans like jones by default, more or less)

Genuine superstar potential

gawn was recovering from a knee injury and built like a twig when he joined us

this i also think it has to be factored in that he and curnow are very different sorts of players for us, hogan plays the curnow role weideman will ideally be able to pinch hit in the ruck as well as be a tall marking option it would be fab to have curnow, but it'd also be fab to have martin, fyfe, sloane etc. etc - we have to work with what we've got not worry about what we didn't i'm still convinced weid will be a very good player for us

they generally toe the line, but purple barrett tends to sink the slipper

AFL media is not the afl; independent editorial

slower than blease, faster than trengove!

I personally think we’re going to need him to play default chf if t mac is missing

will do easily double that

My kids all had Dees pjs They had Schwab’s logo all over them at weird angles everywhere

no way the afl will split from asada if it means they stop getting all the govt funding that is a requirement for asada agreement

i presume you mean brett lovett? my 33 years watching the dees i'd go this as order of great defenders for the dees: 1. sean wight 2. alan johnson (expecting this spot to very quickly be filled by lever, but really he could end up being the best defender we've had) 3. brett lovett 4. matthew whelan 5. adem yze 6. jared rivers 7. graeme yeats 8. james frawley 9. neville jetta 10. anthony ingerson

t mac report - another metatarsal injury ffs: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/melbourne-swingman-tom-mcdonald-in-doubt-for-round-1-clash-with-geelong-at-the-mcg/news-story/47f971e45c3636e4fef6068f80175a56 looks like jones needs injections to manage his back, and lewis is battling
