  1. Disagree. We're another two years off having solid depth. I know what will have happened. We'll have spent $700,000 more than we should have.
  2. Lol. Why is Watts being brought into this?
  3. Well, let's just wait and see first. I think we can keep in under 35 points and if everything goes our way, we can get within a couple of kicks, perhaps even give the game a shake.
  4. We won the contested and uncontested possessions that day I believe. We just kicked at goal like an under 12 side. EDIT. And had the same amount of scoring shots.
  5. It takes time I'm afraid. In two years time, if we're still in the same position I'll be very worried. Given the list Roos inherited, I think he's done very well so far to turn the list over and bring in some B graders.
  6. I think it was Howe for pick 7. I would have jumped at it, myself. EDIT. Sorry, a little late on that reply.
  7. I don't wish to fuel the digression much further, but to be fair to Jack, there aren't many players that have had to deal with the same level of scrutiny that he has. So I don't agree entirely with the weak mindedness. The AFL endorsed article on Watts being dropped is a prime example of this scrutiny though. Who else gets articles written about them when they get dropped? Absolute A graders perhaps, but Watts hasn't delivered to that level and yet still gets 'microscoped'. Does Scully? Does Naitanui? It's a tired conversation and I know we've all been at it for years. I am in the boat of being an MFC supporter utterly frustrated by Jack's lack of physicality and at times concentration, but ultimately due to his creativity, I wonder whether he should be playing this week. Particularly, when Hawthorn have a few soft outsiders themselves.
  8. I go every week, including to some interstate games and it frustrates the hell out of me when some 'supporters' find any excuse under the sun not to attend a game. It's pathetic. Particularly if they have the money. And whilst I agree with the rest of your post, LDVC, the players earn a bloody good wage and should turn up irrespective of whether the supporters do. It's their job.
  9. I don't think you could play Hogan at FF. He's too important to halving contests up the field. Unless of course, Dawes starts taking grabs or bringing the ball to his feet in a constructive manner. Not sure you could say this about Jeremy Howe. How (pardon the pun) he continues to get games is beyond me. Given Watts has finally been dropped, I wonder whether Howe is next to go if he dishes up another performance of jogging and fading in and out of the game.
  10. But I think you back yourself in to draft a 250 game A grader, otherwise what are we doing? We need A graders. If our recruiting department think there's a ten year A grade prospect in the top 5, I'd rather go for them. Unless of course there's a chance we can get Shiel, Prestia or Treloar, which I can't see happening.
  11. He's certainly not the bloke I'd be giving up a top 5 pick for.
  12. He's on the cusp, but a B grader, IMO.
  13. For a B grader? I wouldn't.
  14. We didn't want Thompson to leave either. In the end, there's only so much a club can do.
  15. But the guys we've brought in struggle to hit a target. And sides like Hawthorn punish the opposition on the turn over. This spells danger. At least they're trying something though, I guess.
  16. That's no worry, mate. Hope it lasts another two seasons. May as well shut the club down now. Fold.
  17. I want more involvement and run and carry from Lumumba. He only needs to get it 20 times and he can be really damaging. Vince has been okay at times this year, but he's nowhere near the heights of early last year. We need him racking up high disposals, because he's such a good user.
  18. I had more confidence in the Sydney game than the Hawthorn or Freo games. I didn't think we'd win the Sydney game though. My girlfriend and I have been dating eight years now (she's Hawthorn filth) and we haven't won a game against them in this time. I'd prefer to win this game over the Freo or Sydney games.
  19. Now, would you give Tommy Mac an 8 year deal as well? I'd certainly consider it. With the advent of free agency, list management is coming into a new age. I wonder how certain clubs will deal with it.
