  1. Have progressed from IQ3 to Foxtel Now and finally with Kayo. Value wise it simply cant be beat, I used it through the beta testing and they have constantly been improving the product and stability. 4K is an inevitability but makes complete sense that they are providing a product that most can use now. Given the limited content available in 4K, it wasnt a consideration to me, but maybe it is for others. The monopoly that Fox have on sports in Australia will continue to crumble and their only hope is to offer a sports streaming option that will eventually be competed with (similar to the US). Given the two week trial and the lack of contracts, I'd encourage anyone to give it a go. Similar to Netflix you can get two screens (or users) for $25 and an additional for $35/month FYI - I have FTTB via TPG.
  2. Gus has gone from OK to great by moving inside. What we get by putting Gus on a wing (arguable) we certainly lose more by putting Dom into the center. Not for me.
  3. Our underperformance of the last 12 years has bred an expectation or need for success and thus a need for every player to be the next Judd. Completely understandable just not feasible. Enjoy the moment, let them grow
  4. agree and look forward to seeing how we deal with it. Vince has shown form in the last week but I wonder if he's not on his last legs. Lewis has value, if an on field Hodge type presence over anything else. At some point we must breed our own team and only poach the panacea we require. Love Wines, wish we'd drafted him, wanted to draft him. Just dont see another inside ball winning mid as the priority. Omac, Jetta, HIbberd, Salem, Lever provide the backbone we need Hogan, Tmac, Petracca and any number of HFF players make us potent We are flush with inside mids, we lack delivery If i can watch a game that doesnt look like me hitting a bad 9iron into the swamp I'm sure we are the difference between 9th and top four.
  5. credit where it's due. he is a merchant of turnover that should be praised at an alter.
  6. Bring back Wrecker
  7. sorry - that just is not correct. Not by a million miles. Watch the last three games on replay. Drink every time a pass from Tyson or a forced handball post his pass becomes a turnover. You NOT sober. I'm far from an ANB lover but his current form is > Tyson.
  8. Inside mids - Jones (2-3 seasons left), Tyson (meh but gets the ball), Viney, Oliver, Petracca (coming), Brayshaw, ANB (more HFF, no silk) Classy outside mids - Stretch (far from proven), Hunt (more HBF), Salem (maybe)..... I'm on board with Gaff as far fetched as I think it is. Let Wines go. We took Toumpas, like we took Tyson.
  9. Ive got no idea what "best" means. If we are forecasting stats in Weid, surely we can go back just as easily and say Vince is a core mid. On the best of their ability shown, spargo is ahead of Weid. Happy to play make believe but Weid, Smith and Hunt are cusp to this list.
  10. instrumental in the bailey sacking and longevity of Schwab, about as wanted at the club as herpes. make your own decision about whether he voted to tank or not. Moral decision making equivalent to Dom Tyson's kicking. Suggest we pay about as much attention to this guy as the BOM. [censored] this guy.
  11. Motlop is a bigtime one way running and a constant contest shirker. Agree with your observations
  12. I think we wear rose colored glasses with Jack. 9th year player that is unlikely to improve significantly in our team (whether he does elsewhere is irrelevant). He had 5.7 score involvements per game this year so unless we believe we kick 80% goals per score (statistically we dont) then he doesn't add four goals. When he goes missing he is terrible, when he plays well (maybe 10% of games) he is impressive. If we can move Jack on and improve the overall quality of the team, I'm all for it. There is no place for romantic notions of loyalty if we want to see a flag.
  13. I'll take my whack. Didnt see what the coaches did, completely proved wrong. I even sometimes mistook him for a fully grown footballer from the far end. Good work Oscar, improved kicking, good marking and tactically safe decision making. Solid work, go Dees
  14. Can someone clarify for me what our position is if Harry O leaves in the coming months? Are we able to list a delisted free agent ? If yes then what is the go with Xavier Richards? Is there more than meets the eye here given he wasn't picked up?
  15. Judd had a brownlow by 22.
  16. Had pneumonia, asked him at the Lions game, still sounded crook then so not surprised its taken a while to get back.
  17. I love your posts Picket. They remind me that even when I think I'm stressing out with no reason, somebody is more of a deadest lunatic that goes off the handle and throws the toys out of the cot than I could ever be. Bravo to you sir, you are an A grade nutter. If I could lend you some meds I wouldn't, I'd poke you with a stick and give you new ammunition to worry you just so I can watch you go on....and on.....and on and on.....and on.....and on.....
  18. cant believe the people calling for Harmes out...... Elusive, hard at it, accurate. We have two "utility" types in Pedo and Frost. If we think we don't need the height then probably Frost for Truck but why change a winning team if they are all fit. Brayshaw is obviously not 100% but if its just match fitness he needs I'd rather his pressure. And ditto to whoever said put him back in the middle.
  19. Commentators play to the majority. We win more, we get more praise. Just look at the odds we are still well under the radar and long may it last
  20. Bugg, Kennedy, Jones, Vince and (best for last) Viney are the best things to happen to MFC for a decade. Bugg can turn it over but god I love how much of a pest he is. Got in Cotchins head something fantastic last night. Bring it MFC.
  21. Tough selections. God yes please. Let this become the norm.
  22. stole it from Supermercado - Oliver
  23. Surely Wagner only plays if one or more of the Hamburglar, Gus or Jeffy doesn't get up.
  24. Ha, we are getting short of whipping boys I guess. At least Godders et al are behind us if we are worried about JT being a list hog. Go Dees
  25. Good teams manage to get the ball into the hands of quality ball users (Salem, Vince etc) without making 45m passes Complete given that he's not a suckling who can kick the ball like its a targeted missile, but suckling cant defend like Tom. I reckon we give him the chance to knock off the ring rust and allow him to find the form that had him in All Australian form last year. Our grunt, courage and increased midfield depth, means a lot more to me than worrying about a bloke we would die for in the draft based on last years efforts. I'm an eternal "glass half empty" guy, but I'm not going to shoot him based on a windy day where most of his errors were via disposal. I understand, neh, I share the pain of long term supporters that find skill errors frustrating, but with the positives of Viney (fk me), VDB, Harmes, Kennedy, Hogan, Vince, Jeffy, Petracca, Gawn (fully fit) and Oliver add to our best 22 in the last few years I think we can sympathise with a bloke that maybe isnt the best kick in the AFL and a team that has turned over more times than Paris Hilton.
