All a case I think of Premature Adulation !!

Jnrmac. I dont think Little and EFC care a stuff about what happens to Hird now or his standing in procedures. I think they do care now about the dwindling war chest and Jacques eyes on it. He is scum isnt he

Id put it as History being realised and understood. People (these) are now prepared to look again and SEE.

Pretty funny I thought

Bit of a no brainer really. 1x1 deals

Aww diddumsFunny how ppl choise when or whether this top picking applies. Its said once in the club you are JUST a player. Thats ALL they are...workers ...to do a job. Top5 pi k one is irrelevant. Its about playing to ability. That said. The OP asks how crucial is he. By any OBJECTIVE measure he isnt. Will the team fall apart? Will it be incapable of winning ? Ppl need to step back and get real and stop acting like its their best mate etc. Its juvenile. I like Trengove, when fit and playing well. If he isnt hes replaced. Its not that [censored] hard really. Again...hes not crucial.Few are

That he did. The context is self delineating. I.e. He is...no qualifier.Also Jimmy is fine...doesnt even need to kick. How could we have got it so wrong WYL

In all seriousness; those that say very, why? He'll only be a cog in a machine and far from being a primary mover. His position will be playable by any number of substitutes. Hes not unique, hes not A grade...so how is he "crucial". Handy maybe ...hardly indispensable.

Nor do I ....but the path required and the Toll paid may differ !!!

I agree in the main, but then whos he trying to impress ?? A fox-like trainer of horses etc wont allow the beast to gallop full speed at trials etc . it keeps something back. You play your best shots ONLY when you need to. You catch others off guard that way. Only an idiot telegraphs their hand before time. I admire the kids spirit, I deplore his counsel. !!

I think he was definitely for the chop that day but he out gunned Little.

I think Little underestimated the stupidity and arrogance of his co- litigant. He got caught pants down . I think hes since addressed his wardrobe and adorned more silk !!!

He was very frank apparently in his initial interview with Roos. Its actually what sold Roos on him. He left nothing out and conceded ( apparently ) it wasnt a very clever thing and was a mistake. He took ownership and had remorse.... Just like that other bloke !!!! lol

And I think she'll still be right

Biff..He HASNT done OK...hes doe very little. At least come at this with a modicum of reality . I hope hes better next year. The club "HOPES" he will be . Its not about eating young its about picking footballers who then go out and play football. Not languish, not get injured half the bloody time .. And we KNEW his problems and still took him ??ffs Lets Join Carey and Daniels in the next epic adventure !!! You take them on when theres NO bettter option. Again. lets hope ( theres that word...seems permanently attached to this guy ) he steps up a bit. He needs to. id have gladly traded him. Its about getting going NOW not in another 18months 2years time.

its not even a question really is it. A statue commemorating a very decent human being who also happen to be an exceptional footballer with all the 'right' credentials. The Robbie Flower Wing...and a Statue......very fitting. Out nic was coined by the notion of 'we should play like Demons" may I suggest to all Melbourne players.....here on........You need to.. "play like Flower" Play with his class, his pride , his courage and his guts and determination. They may not have his ability but they need to play as though they think they do. But I'm biased. He's always been my very favourite player.

You can all wear your Ima Toumpa Apologist badges with pride. I only care for a capable Melbourne. We ve had our fill of NQRs and Jimmy is right on that list currently and if you think otherwise youre delusional. Yeah Trenners lit up the crappy SANFL too ( for the record its below VFL std these days ) He got going straight away until injured. The Toump had some decent games late in that season he played senior SANFL and had a reasonably good Final..Done sfa since then. paint it anyway yo wish but realistic apparently. When anyone talks of Dimitri is always about what "might" be. All potential...Even the club says the same shlt wrapped up in the words "HOPE he has a breakout season" They f'n hope ?????? Seriously ???? Hes either cherry ripe next year after a preseason or we are wasting a list space, money and a pick. Thats called reality. I hope he comes good..Only because I want good players on our team not cloggers. I want Melbourne to win, not continue the misery. I dont care wtf plays for us, but they better play and play well...or why have them. Its not a social convention for homeless nqr's. They are after all getting paid a lot of money..Wheres the return. If he cant provide , get someone who can. Its really that simple.

stats stats stats ...SHlT Honestly all anyone does is come up with fn useless stats. Some of us use our eyes and see what effect a player has during the game. To date other than some cameo decent performances hes been wonderfully underwhelming . so much he struggles to get much happening at VFL level. Yes hes had some injury problems but they dont entirely excuse his somewhat lacklustre cv to date. I hope hes as good as some make out otherwise its just another fukked up selection

Does Shifter EVER talk down anyone.

TSFKA.. I understand the sentiment. When he has runs on the board hes off the hook. So far..... You vid ref only serves to reinforce hes all so called potential currently. This bloke called "potential" has really lousy stats. I wouldn't highlight them too much is all im saying .

Just toffer some balance perhaps. Wrt that "other player" ; it's always supposed he hes a product of some environment and that hes resultant and not the actual instigator od his success. This other kid has always been good , and always had effect on teams he plays in. Youd be selling very short to suggest he's lucky and our one isn't. That other kid has helped thei success hes not a result of it. Now lets see what ours can do. Page pretty blank just currently.

If ??? He's on a hirding to nothing

Funny. Could have sworn Middleton said it WAS legal and even if it wasnt it might as well be and those arguing refer back to point one ; it IS legal Of course Golden boy keeps applying his versions of values to all things. That would be a FAIL there Jacques !!!

Better look elsewhere this kid cant last 3 k With one lap to go in the 3km time trial, Christian Petracca has pulled out. Looks to be limping a bit #DraftCombine

must confess Im not sure on this one Does selecting ( signing) a DELISTED free agent count the same towards residual situation and hence affecting compensation in the same manner as signing an UNRESTRICTED Free agent ? cheers
