problem becomes ( as the Kennel would know ) once you announce your intentions you cease to be in the drivers seat. To make it worse, I really dont think Simon McCantwin cares less. Theyve had an agenda all year and now they get to play the last act ( or is that last rites )

I wonder if Simon took note of how Richmond played a zone defence ??

Id have thought it not so much he wasnt where he might need to be ( as it seemed to me he was one of the very few among our lot that actually knew where to be ) It was that he was often not honoured..and i mean OFTEN.

some very odd decisions about playing on. Both sides really. The advantage rule ( muffed, fluffed and stuffed ) !! All in all some bizarre decisions ( or non decisions ). Had a whole season to get used to it though. A couple of times our lad Jake was somewhat non-plussed about the vagaries of what was happening. Just when he thought they wouldnt blow a whistle for zigging...they would...when they had for zagging and had a Toiges infringe he wasnt given a zac. A couple of times you could read his lips !! What the F ??? The whole 'holding ' thing is very ambiguous

was a bit ( too much ) tiggy touch umpiring re jumpers. Wasnt an equal application through out the day. Lever was no Astaire but did ok at the Big Dance

You actually explain why he does bring some excitement. He's ( JL ) a pretty good disposer of the ball. Very much more often than not the ball goes to someone with advantage. Not even 50% of the time would that be the case at Melbourne currently. I used to play as a forward..( moons ago granted, but the essential elements of the game are still there ) and what I look for in a good defender is a combination of two basics. Firstly they either deny you the ball, or if you do get it they deny you the opportunity to use it as you would prefer. At this Lever is quite good. The opportunity to let Pig and Hunt off the leash a bit more as you suggest is the icing on the cake.

Im not sure there's any grey in it at all. but your figures might be prophetic.. 90/10 90% gone 10% stays

i'm not sure it's even possible !!

Bad batch of Kava Nothing to see here....move along

Well done Ninthmond . Oh well had the margin 8 goals...just wrong way lol.

You've missed the gist here. Its kicking abilities. Watts has Tmac covered in spades.

not sure if has the distance of Watts

None of those quite frankly though capable of goals are in the same league as JW in terms of accuracy and clutch kicking. The distance is not a problem for Bernie or Milkshake but no money on them front a set shot after the siren!! All things aside. Watts is our best kick

My gut says Lever is a formality awaiting happening. Watts....might well depend upon the deal offer , not just Jack , but the Club !!. Probability ?...very likely atm

we're such an interesting lot arent we !!

there it is

I would think Jack is gone. I say that as now it will be driven by his manager and Jack himself. Though his heart may be MELBOURNE its as though his gf just dumped him. The trust/bond is broken. Time to start over. He still has 5-6 years of footy ahead barring calamatous injury. Will be an early trade in the Circus. Be very surprised now if not the case.

Keeps on keeping on A very handy utility with a great pair of mitts.

...the humanity......think of the children.....who will they blame ?

@rufus just a curious question. You trust Goodwin more than Roos ? Paul also knows what success looks like, even coached for a cup. It's an interesting conundrum no ?

As someone who cares little for the gee-gees, lost interest in cricket decades ago and finds tennis as exciting as watching grass grow you paint a season of heat and boredom. Thankfully i have hobbies and a wife who never fails to provide me with things to do. Oh that game, Crows by 50. Punt Rd to become a torrent of blood.

Really. Should it ? I ask because so much becomes so sanitized. He seems like an absolute arzhole. We all have our journey. I wonder how many workers are adjudicated by anyone as to their 'whatever' upon fronting up to work ? Any money some clubs are salivating at the steal they coyld commit .

Cant blame him . Simon McCantwin are beginning to worry me.

No end of them it seems !! Go figure

Dusty was an Angel personified...just an observation
