Might be among the few still running in the 4th ...might be his moment in the sun (sts )

I know....you wouldn't read about it ??

No excuses Just do it

Bolton .... Hmmmm

They COULD play on the wing..in fact it was where Roo belonged. Tom on a wing...meh

A difference to the nonsensical team sheet...in our instance, is that Tom has actually started games....on the wing. Still nonsense for mine.

your manor isnt the boarded up pub on the corner by chance ??

He's a footballing freak ... And he's all ours Onya Clarry. Such fun to watch.

But they needn't guess....as soon as the ball starts flying back from our arc because the clunking half forward that's supposed to be there isn't...then he'll (TM) be repositioned properly What's the bet ? ( No guessing required )

Not ours...I hope ?

It's genius eh.. I mean...no one ever expects him to then line up at Half Forward !! The MFC brains trust in fine fettle ??? I'd be laughing as the oppo coach....well that's one less to worry about in the arc. Rebounding"s easier.. win-win..for them !! Let's keep footy simple, Simon

No thanks

Having him rest fwd also upsets the oppos apple cart regards rotation etc (possibly )

I see what you did there...massaged the tone of his post.

Got any 8mm film of him ??

In the main ( very much so ) I fully concur. There's a bit of temptation though to do as outlined and have him in the square ( possibly resting as opposed off the field ) It's not without merit imho.

My two most doubtful games are Crows and Eagles. We might pluck the Swans at home. They like bigger grounds even less than us ?

Reminds me of our game against the Blues. Sitting with niece...an ardent Blue, during the last QTR she asked me if Melbourne could stop.She said it's not funny any more. I also conveyed...I knew that feeling. Bolts is nutted.... walking dead.

The rest are 6 point games for me..i.e...any game we drop makes it doubly imperative to win the next. Finals is as much about momentum as it is available list. No-one who's fallen into finals has accomplished much after. There's 7 games left...best we win 5 of them.. I'm not normally optimistic at this point...and I'm not,but if we're a chance then we need Dogs..win Cats.. win Crows . ??? Suns ... Win Swans ??? Eagles ...?? Giants...must win. On the basis of the above...that's 4 plus..one of 3 maybe's That still,most likely only had us retaining our current position but with the likelihood of facing someone we've already beaten...at the G ..in the first week. It won't hurt if a few others drop the ball....but our fortune is in our hands.

not at all..but your question will require answering at some time in the nearish future...but id like to think (barring that I-word ) that he's 3-4 years of good footy left. it might well be someone we need to target in drafts/trades...as you suggest ...he ( replacement) doesnt seem to be on our list currently )

I'm not sure what to take away from that game last night. Is our game against the Cats more achievable ?? or the game against the Crows more daunting ?? Talk about swings and roundabouts .

Im not sure JKH has the ceiling to be anywhere near a replacement for Nifty

An observation of JKH at AFL level during previous stints. Yes he was often involved in play...often laying tackles. Sounds great...good defensive play for a forward ? Reality...he was often out of position and second to the ball. Why ? Seemed like he wasn't quick enough to be first to the ball. Hint...guy with ball is doing better. He we have an example of an illusion...is Harris is putting in. In a fashion...but he's not being effective .....as a fwd...only in defence....or "pressure moves" No pressure on the scoreboard though. And....the stats are bogus.

Some are a tad whistle happy...others think they see things. Some just ought not be officiating...not up to it. Reduce umps on field...less is more ( efficient )

One thing in Kennedy's favour...he might be running faster than many others.. in the final QTR
