He tackled strongly and he was quite neat with the ball at times and quick to release. Had some poor moments but worth another chance. Probably playing in a position not suited to him as well (wing).

He was tagging the standard of the game and it worked. But unlikely he was shutting down a specific opponent. He started on the bench and in the first 15 minutes he can be seen chasing after Sheridan, Hamling, Ryan and Wilson at various points.

Im calling for ANB's head. Does absolutely nothing in tightly contested matches, aside from running around creating packs. Has great effort and tries hard and clearly loves playing for Melbourne which is great, but an incredibly limited and over-rated footballer, who the opposition would be putting no time into.

Neville Jetta with the greatest MFC back pocket performance since Alan Johnson’s 1988 elimination final masterpiece!

B: Alan Johnson, Sean Wight, Paul Prymke HB: Brett Lovett, David Neitz, Gary Hardeman C: Stan Alves, Greg Wells, Robbie Flower HF: Garry Lyon, David Schwarz, Adem Yze F: Jeffrey Farmer, Allen Jakovich, Gerard Healy FOLL: Jim Stynes, Todd, Viney, Jack Viney I/C: Jeff White, Stephen Tingay, Glenn Lovett, Steven Febey EM: Andrew Obst, Nathan Jones, Shane Woewodin.

Any team with Jim Stynes and Garry Lyon on the bench is unfortunately well wide of the mark. Peter Moore and Strawbs not fit to tie Jimmy's shoelaces.

Neeld overruled Prendergast and took James Sellar over Nick O'Brien

And then do you think of Hogan and T.Mac and want to give him a big hug.

Realistically, to get Bennell youd have to give our first rounder and Howe in all likelihood.

Not suggesting it should or will happen, but Hunt could be a prime delist and rookie candidate.

Black was well beaten by Lucas Cook a few weeks ago

Interesting. Dean Gore beat Petracca when they went head to head. She has also savaged Peter Bampton who she can't possibly have seen much of. One problem the SA team have is that a lot of their better players in the carnival, Daniel, Gregson, Johansen, Hone et cetera are seemingly less desirable because of height.

Is he going to nominate?

Severe hamstring injury - hasn't played since NAB Cup. Been resigned.

Jack Lonie is a nigh on certainty to get drafted - and probably a lot higher than many think, the performances of Lewis Taylor and JKH and others will have done him no harm. There will be clubs that will put a red line through Lamb for intangible reasons and for the fact that he is so wildly inconsistent. There will also be clubs like North Melbourne, as an example and I have no inside info on this, that may take him early if they feel he could add some instant potency to their forward half whilst they see themselves to be in the 'window'.

No evidence for that. Roos in 9 years never drafted a big-bodied ready to go midfielder. And last year he drafted small again. Acquiring Vince, Riley, Cross has bought the club time to acquire the best talent without being compromised in its search.

That's right, of course, but whether it be a rookie pick or a later round or whatever, we need to start at least trying to develop some key position players. One of the reasons Casey is floundering is that there is no MFC listed non ruck talls. That's a problem at Casey but also speaks to a list vacuum. I will be very surprised if the club doesnt take at least one development KPP somewhere along the line.

And what roles would these players play in the current side? Petracca is a very good player. He would have gone close to top 10 last year as a forward and he's certainly in the mix no doubt, and Brayshaw is good too. I'mm not knocking the players. But I will attack the concept. The club should fold if we aren't going to draft the best talent because it doesn't believe it can develop talent or bodies. The club's recruiting would also be a disgrace if it is drafting the oldest and highest Body Mass Index midfielders in the draft pool just cause they are ready to go. One needs to remember that the players you mentioned have advantages over their peers that disappear to a fair degree once they enter the AFL system. The only way for this club forward is to assemble a critical mass of quality talent of all shapes and sizes. As such it should draft the players they think will be best over the span of their careers, none of this ready to go nonsense. The Western Bulldogs have set themselves up for years by drafting two midfield rakes and there is no evidence to suggest they are any better at developing than we are. The only desperate need we have to fill in this draft is a developing key position player at some stage in the draft or trading process. Other than that get the best talent at each decision!

And he don't much like Scott Pendlebury either or Dom Tyson.

If Adam Tomlinson was in the draft I'd have a fairly large bet that St Kilda would take him with pick 1.
