Hopefully he brought his dad with him for support.

And to offer himself up as a coach in a package deal.

Sadly Yze Magic was probably our most exciting prospect of the era. Shame he never got drafted....

I’m surprised Barry P didn’t recruit him during his golden recruiting era.

Salem for pick 20... tempting ?? 

He is so ready to go but injury concerns still exist around his ability to put games together.

Good god man, no.

Is that you Barry Prendegast ?

Hopefully we can smash the Dogs a few times in September over the next years. 

I still can't see them winning the GF on The 'G

Not sure I agree.

dogs bat really deep.

i think dogs, Dees, Giants and the Suns will start to overtake the current leaders sooner rather than later.

Exactly. Everyone seems to think we need 3 talls but given we don't have a Jenkins-type at hand we should try something else. Go smaller for a few games or maybe be crazy enough to play Spencer with Gawn again. Either way putrid performances like that from Dawes shouldn't be accepted.

 

not a bad thought.

Spencer up for Dawes. Get spencer to ruck most of the game and leave Max up forward to clunk a few.

cant be worse than watching bucket hands Dawes get nowhere near it.

not much point putting hullet or weed up

yet if they're not ready.

Weideman and Hulett and they're not ready.  Dunn btw is injured.

Don't think weed or hullett are ready from what I've seen in vfl either.

dunn not injured though. He played against Richmond in vfl yesterday 

Thought he was ok but on top of the fumble also had a couple of other costly turnovers that resulted in goals.

not best 22 once younger mids are ready but serviceable depth for mine.

I'm interested if anyone knows if we have won a game with Razor Ray as head umpire? 

Never. Number 18, razor Ray was appalling. It really felt like he had an active bias against us today for three and a half quarters, then pulled one or two late to make it feel less one sided. 

I think the club is doing a good job keeping supporters informed through pr etc.

those who are complaining either haven't been supporters for a long time or have short term memories. 

Has improved out of sight over the years.

Haha nah that's Harvey......

He's 31, 32 by the start of next season. O Mac really needs another season to bulk up, which I think after next season he will be 100% ready.

Merrett is a free agent so would cost us nothing and could be our big fullback for a year or two if his form is good enough.

By the way I would only go for him if we can't find another big defender who is younger but we need someone to help protect Omac as he needs time.

Did you see big sauce against us this year?

he is well and truly cooked.

i really liked him in his prime but the game has past him by.

Why does Wagner keep getting selected?

he is Vfl standard at best.bis Wagner German for turnover?

I noticed Daniel Merrett from Brissy is an unrestricted free agent.

Could be a good option as the number one stopper to release McDonald and Frost to being 2nd and 3rd talls for the next 1-2 seasons?

Was a good player in his prime the big sauce. Watching him on the weekend, it is clear the game has well and truly past him by.

This season might be his last I would think.

Thought t Mac played really well against lions. Incredible athleticism and didn't try and do too much with ball in hand.

seems a pretty serious and unexcitable kind of a guy, so not sure I would read too much into how he sings the song post game

We need to get rid of Misson. First Brayshaw, and now Salem out indefinitely.

I'm hoping I missed your sarcasm with this one.

Out: Jetta, Mitchie, Garland
In: Omac, ANB,/Kent, Dunn

 

B: Wagner    Dunn    Omac

HB: Bugg    Tmac    Vince

C: Petracca   Jones   Hunt

HF: Salem    Watts   Garlett

F: Kent/ANB   Hogan   Harmes

Foll: Gawn   Viney  Tyson

I/c: Stretch Oliver Kennedy Pedo

Would love Bugg to play down back to send Salem onto the wing hopefully sending accurate long kicks into our forward line and send Hunt on the wing to receive handballs from Jones, Viney and so on and really use his pace which I think we can lack sometimes when we do get the clearance instead of just always booting the ball into the forward line for a 50/50 contest. Would love a beautiful centre clearance and a beautiful kick into the chest of one of our forwards.

Close. I agree with your outs but I would have Kent, ANB (who i watched at sandy last week and he smashed it) and either Dunn/omac

newton next in line but with interrupted preseason probably need one or two more at vfl level

Arent we all just a happy mixed up lot. I am predominantly right side dominant. However I do eat left handed ( because its the RIGHT way logically !! lol )   I write right handed . I can use most tools either hand. I started my Bball life as a right handed shooter and would do layups still mainly as a right hander but distant shots left handed, foul shooting right handed unless I had the yips , then Id change ...just to change..lol.  I kick righ footed but gradually learnt to kick ( the shorter game ) left foot also.

Im not sure what any  of this means other than Im completely screwed up...hehehe .   What I have found is you can learn things , you can adapt, but there also may be inbuilt limitations per person.

Jesse's run in is as cack handed as any Ive seen and it CANT help him. It reintroduces everytime too many variable before the dropping of the ball and the strike. When he cant think about it it all just flows.  He need REAL mental coaching here.

He was  hired to kick goals. Good goal kickers have a constant rhythmic action. He needs to learn one

Interesting. I am a bit of a basket case as well.

anything single handed I am right (dominant side) so writing, bowling in crickey, kicking etc.

but anything double handed such as batting, hand balling etc I am left.

dancing to the beat of a different drum I like to call it!

Turnover and Dawes spots up weed who is now getting reward for effort.

Credit to dawesy, as despite competing for the same spot, looks like he has really taken the young weed under his wing.

They've worked well together today.

Anb hands in close are a thing of beauty. Tackles hard too.

i know it is hard to break into seniors midfield at the moment, but he surely must be close. Had the ball on a string today.

We are building some real depth at casey, good to see.

sandy not a bad side either.

scorps should finish right up the pointy end this year.

Casey 34 points up and will win comfortably despite sandy playing ok against the wind. 

Newton ok ok and back on ground.

Now hullett matches it with another beauty 

Weideman kicks a ripper over the shoulder. Can play.

Newton off with a shoulder.

so frost, brayshaw and Newton unable to complete games.

dawes kicks another one for casey.

Dawes getting a lot of it.

missed a few goals but playing well.

Yes weed has. Read previous posts.
