  1. He's gotta bitta Toe these days, since he moved forward.
  2. close DZ... I'll go with 66-6_ 66 goals 6 pts
  3. Could Hunt play from out of a F/ward pocket, LT ? Has the lead speed. Has the leg. But does he have the hunger and desire to put up with being hit in the back?
  4. And what about Vanders ? What about Chunk ? What is Viney ? What is ANB's ? TMc's condition is working well for him. Max' and Frosts condition works well for them. Fritta is new to the comp, and is OK for 1st year. I'm sure he will get more solid as he gets a couple more seasons in him. But he won't want to be a power player.
  5. I thought I might be able to get footy live, and add my membership to the club, with the same hit. I am 3 hrs drive from the city. Or 1 hrs drive and 2 Hrs train... one way. I 'fly' naked, free to air. But would pay (for free pass to my TV, and membership combo). AFL live stream to PC to TV, and brownlow, national draft, etc. Otherwise I just stay as I am, and stay free to air.... until that totally dries up in the TV networks drought on free to air... Bleeding it not so slowly dry by 1000 cuts, one at a time. Shame corporate's, shame. 5G is a hungry beast... it will not only kill off free to air... but will no doubt bring other greed ideals with it as well.
  6. T'anks Gaaawn_ Do you reckon the 'International Member' 'Global Pass' would work for Aus local internet ?
  7. Braydon Preuss 'Breuce' Breucsa
  8. And I always thought you just didn't like toilet seats, and sitting on them to Peee.
  9. And I see him doing just that when deep for de-Weide.
  10. Aerobically he needs to step up. I don't expect him to be as cut as a featherweight... but I do expect him to become an elite runner to compare with other low-end elite Mids. I don't expect him to go with ANB... but I do expect him the improve at least 10% on his last season Klms and workrate, both ways. He needs a wasp on his Arrzz. when training, to get him moving beyond what he has been. He's built in the mold of a bull... and he needs pushing, to work off that store of carbs he's carrying. even some of the meat/muscle... He is carrying too much weight. - - - - - - - - Here is a loose example of two past players. One a half forward, who also played CHF and R/R. https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp-sydney-swans--ryan-o-keefe and another power player > https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp-kangaroos--glenn-archer .
  11. Skinfolds is why I didn't look into height by weight... for that very reason. What you posted Re measuring the lean muscle mass, is what I was trying to get to. I used BMI as the word to describe what I wanted. Simply 186 cms x 96 kgs_ is no correlation to 188 cms x 90 kgs_ Re lean muscle mass. I'm looking for a true measurement to compare players in their endeavors for real fitness, from across the internet. At 23 Yrs of age, its high time this boy decided to become a man about his chosen career... If he has a lean muscle mass the equal of Vanders... then I will eat a hat. .
  12. I never want us to let go of the hunter imagery. IMO, We are at our best when we are aggressive and feel like hunting opposition... And I see no need to change that, even if we become an elite team. We still have to be the hunters of the ball... man with ball, and of the opponents. Choir boys don't hunt, as apparently they are easy quarry. We are not that any longer.
  13. So tell us than smarty, where/what is his BMI. compared to Vanders BMI ? put it up there for us to compare... Do the whole senior list from the clubs website player info. So we can all see and judge it for ourselves. Inform us all with these stats.
  14. Nah... what is about is his inconsistencies and drop offs, in focus and involvements. I do Not want to see him become a one dimensional player, locked at half forward. Our midfield is getting stronger... and IF Pertracca is to ever build his tank up. He has to start to really do it now... He is 23 Yrs old now. Not 21Yr old... that's 5 Yrs into the system already. IMO should be further advanced in the area of endurance, than he is now. I don't want another yze at forward-pocket..saying... "Oh,,, I can't run on the ball, because my fitness isn't good enough"_ sort of carp. Surely we are past this stuff, when players are not fully ready, and committed. If this guy ever gets as fit as a boxer is, he could be dynamite. As he is, he's a half-hearted, half way sort.
  15. I like Milton. That mild mannered mountain. I think Milton would stir Preussy.
  16. Horses for courses. I think. For those who want to smash in... If Preus'y likes to smash in as well... and for an ex rugby man, he may like that. Then let him crash the crashees first. Give him the first 10 mins crack of the game at the opposition... to soften up the bang crash opponents. I'd like to see them both become interchangeable and equals, hopefully.
  17. I don't, but it is all we have, to go on. So based on Ptracca's last season, he is improving, buy at a slow rate... and doesn't get involved enough times and win enough possession for mine, and I'd like to see his 1%'s higher. tackles, etc. In short, I want to see him get busier as a player... call it being more consistent, if that's what you like? Staying more involved in the play for longer periods.
  18. .... Hopefully this is the start ??? of a drop in weight, and better fitness condition, this 2019 preseason ??? Now Mfc website 2019 info. Cristian Petracca. Height 186 cms. Weight 96 kgs. Aaron vandenBerg Height 188 cms Weight 90 Kgs Vanders is a powerful player. is taller than Tracca, and has trimmed his frame to sustain his body and condition in the midfield... and this info says he is 6 Kgs lighter than Tracca's numbers. Now last seasons "Bluey", backs up where the coaches have our players pegged on last seasons output. 2018 Melbourne best and fairest votes 1/ Max Gawn 657 2/ Clayton Oliver 595 3/ James Harmes 468 4/ Nathan Jones 449 5/ Tom McDonald 433 6/ Angus Brayshaw 429 7/ Jake Melksham 428 8/ Christian Salem 403 9/ Neville Jetta 383 10/ Jordan Lewis 366 11/ Jesse Hogan 365 12/ Oscar McDonald 346 13/ Alex Neal-Bullen 322 14/ Michael Hibberd 317 15/ Christian Petracca 268 16/ Bayley Fritsch 261 17/ Jack Viney 244 18/ Charlie Spargo 209 19/ Mitch Hannan 182 20/ Sam Frost 174 ------------------------------------------- Petracca is so far content to follow other elite sportspeople. When will he show he wants to become a true elite himself, instead of admiring his "elite friends" fromn afar... as they star for their clubs, and chosen sports ? The time IS Now, for young Christian to step up... get fitter, fully commit to his chosen sport, and mature into a fine elite player that he is fully capable of being.
  19. It takes the edge off oppositions focus, "at point of delivery execution", when Vander's is hunting them. This is the attitude... we want this team wide. Sinc... apologies, for some recently exited, from the Red'n'Blue.
  20. Scott Pendlebury of the Magpies is tackled by Aaron Vandenberg of the Demons during the 2015 AFL round 18 match between the Collingwood Magpies and the Melbourne Demons ... all inspiration, is Vander's. He's like a pig dog. .
  21. Nobody mentioned being an "a$$hole"... prb. You know, both Bjorn Borg and John patrick McEnroe, were both legends to me. As was Pat Cash.
  22. You know, I'd settle for a fiery Murray Weideman type.
