Nope, not in his 1st year, for mine. New players should have to do their time at the club, before being put forth for leadership, irrespective of where they've come from... at the healthy Melbourne. A few years ago when we were perennial losers, it was different and desperate, in those days. .

I assume Tassie was a bang crash ruckman.

We can cover him... these days.

its the deGo'y style... speed kills, in footy.

He has the speed at the feet of the talls... to arrive at the loose ball before many... And then also he can create space as he leads at the ball carrier... with skilled players falling in behind... and/or gains possession around or outside 50M, to continue out to either give to our skilled mids/backs coming thru... or to prop, look for the short give off. As he goes back toward goal, he could also be dangerous on the return. I prefer our quick smalls around half forward, so they can lend a hand to the active ball in the midfield zone... or to come back deep to the talls, depending on how they read the play-set. So our talls start deeper and spread a bit, including Hunt. This puts pressure of 'tracca', to fire up to earn his H/F spot, or to get fit so he's in the starting mids setup.

I'd like to see him use that dash from F/F... leading up to win ball in some space, then turn & steady, to either give by hand or to spot the short option. I don't mind if he lead up to the wing, dragging his opponent with him. He has a long leg and would be a scoring danger for opponents.

The way Christians are tracking these days, there may be a crumb for a sparrow to pounce.

The beginnings, of Womens power. the young generation of B/B'rs ... and the need for powerful amps... boom boom!

sorry for the tough conditions Dr. By the way, maybe its time you changed your avatar name to 'Dr Time'... just sayin.

The visual media Corporate's are just getting ready for the Free to Air shutdown. The Indian-Pacific and test patterns will star again. TV bandwidth is wanted for 5G mobile telecommunications. Corporate's are using this reason to burn off Free TV.

I wonder as well, IF OMc will spend many games with Casey this year, as Hunt has done. Rebuilding his game and confidence. I sense it might be an in and out year for OMc. Once lever comes back in, it will be verty interestink.

... lack of confidence, I reckon. He had to learn, he 'belonged'. as he grew, imo, the confidence did as well. And then voila. his breakout game against the Cats.

His speed is such a weapon... a huge advantage, his game has developed around that alone... burning off opponents out in acreage. Run! Forest, Run!... Or Run! 'deGump', Run!

>>> their end of touring, http://www.beatlesfaq.com/2015/10/why-did-beatles-stop-performing-live.html and their beginning of maturing creativity.

IMO, it's as if he's Flowers son. Remember last season was his first AFL season. He's not as good as Robbie was, but he is just starting... he has the right ethic.s

Maybe you've stumbled onto a nickname for Hunty. ? 'Forest' Hunt. Run! Forest. Run ! ?

I reckon Hunts half back days are finished.. behind him. He isn't reliable enough by foot. I see hunt playing, starting within 60Mtrs from the goal line. I think he can replace 'tracca', in the deep forwardline. His speed... akka DeGoey... I reckon could be his role, if can emulate that style. .

I love this working the angles, to upset the opposition structures. I agree 'bin', that our forward structure suits quick nimble skilled small players to feed, and to keep opposition defenders guessing. Weides has great hands, feeding the ball off to teammates... and I suspect Smith will have as well, from his basketball background.

I think Hore was recruited to cover for/allow, Smith as our 3rd tall forward.

cheers for the reports IT. I hope your family member is OK.

He has had weight problem in previous seasons. If he is looking trim now, its because he is heeding the message, to reduce weight. His best partner in crime has left the building now, and flown west. Tracca is no doubt on strong request, to shed some kegs and work harder. more consistently. If he is indeed trimmer, than the word is getting through.

They said the same thing about Robbie Flower, when 'Barass' put him to halfback... to teach him the defensive side... and to plug holes, as Barass ripped the side apart, in rebuilding the club. Then down the track, Flower went to Half Forward and R/R. Flower was at his most damaging on ball, covering the whole field. Fritta is just starting to learn the caper.

gawd... just clicked on it, and the 1st thing I see is ed's old mug staring at me.

I hope young Jaden can really put focus on the Wing position... and also from the goal square, where he would be running straight lines at the ball... then turn to come back the other way.

I read one report Wagner was high up in one running group this week. I assume that was Cory. He'll be interesting to watch this year, to see how he copes.
