Just pure garbage sorry.

He's coming 4th in the D'Land player of the Year and people want to trade him??? Pffft Muppets

Context though. Ignore last year. He is playing a different game now and we have TMac up fwd. If you look at Melbourne's contested marks inthe fwd line I would hazard a guess they are miles above the past few years. Variation and unpredictability about our fwd line are possibly more valuable than a stay at home forward.

I think that was the exception rather than the rule. I don't think he has ever been a great contested mark.

Hogan has a great footy IQ. Always thinking and is very good with chip kicks, tap ons etc.

He'd be happy with a new ute, a McDonalds gift voucher and a drinks card at 21st Century in Frankston...

I am not an OMac fan but he was OK on the weekend. His shortcomings are different to Frost and in a way polar opposite. He is slow, particularly reaction time but also turning circle. He has little physical presence - although his Darling tackle was a ripper - and is often fumbly. He was lucky not to have given away a free at a critical time to Venebles I think when he fumbled the mark and then tried to duck the tackle in the 4th. Could have been so much worse. Oscar's disposal is pretty good Frost on the other hand is very quick, physical, can take a solid mark and makes life difficult for good forwards as he is difficult to play on. Disposal and decision making are his two biggest weaknesses and the club has been trying to limit these telling him in effect to give the ball off straight away by hand where possible. A combination of the two would be perfect and the question is when Lever returns who gets the gig alongside him. there isn't room for all three IMO. It might be match ups that determine it. Against the Swans Frost did well on Buddy and OMac was pretty reasonable on McCartin.

Still my fav piece of Clarrie action!

Seems to get involved in a scragging contest at every centre bounce now. Not happy with that...

He's got some real belief in himself. Has pretty good skills and great attack on the footy and oppo players. Has had a really good year. One of our most consistent

As in 'smoke the weiderman'?

Competed very well today. Just what he needed to do. Halved or won most of his contests.

Lewis is still contracted for next year isn't he? That means he will still be in the cap.

YEAH HOW ON EARTH DID YOU GET SUCH GREAT INFO???????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It just doesn't 'come together'. That's like Bailey saying we just need 50-100 games into the players like Maric, Morton, Petterd etc Someone needs to fire up and stand up. My fear is that Goodwin sends them to sleep with his monotone delivery. Petracca is one that could do it. Brayshaw and Harmes could do it. TMac Clarrie and Max can do it and have done it but who else? 6/7 weeks of good football and reputations will be made for the next decade.

Plus the upfront payments. Players like Fritsch for example who would be on base pay of say $100k for 2 years, you might say we'll pay you $200k this year and nothing for the next year.

Just like we did years ago we paid some contracts in advance which clears up space in future.

What? At the MCG? No thanks..

Hannaberry's body is cooked. He's not what we need.

FWIW Squiggle Autotip has us finishing 2nd..

The length is somewhat irrelevant, its the width that causes teams more difficulty in defending with a press.

Sssshhhhhh

Hamish could do with some dental work....

Fake news yourself goose!

So having not followed the tribunal hearing was it 9 down to 8? is impact not taken into consideration? Buggy would have every right to feel aggrieved. Or did the 'good guy'' defence play out as vs a ''serial pest?'
