That's Liam who isnt playing well at all.But his cousin Jacob is playing a difficult role with a great attitude and is important to the team.

He certainly doesn't adopt the "what happens on the field stays on the field " code.The last time that I can recall him being interviewed post game was when he referred to Tom Bugg's hit on Callum Mills as a "dog act " which certainly didn't help Tommy at the tribunal hearing .Anyway Bugg has gone on to bigger and brighter things .

In what must be perverse first in VFL football the rover Moniz-Wakefield (who was ok ) had more hitouts than the ruckman Farris-White (who was deplorable ).Neither Verrall nor Fullerton impressed .Schache was insipid . We are in a world of hurt if Max goes down.

What about McAdam ?

He is rangy and particularly quick but to date he has shown very little. Now is the time to start showing improvement .

From the moment that Christian said he would take no action against Maynard it was all over and from then it just became a show trial .He didn't refer it to the tribunal neither did Keane they did it jointly (when did that ever happen ?)Christian did not change his stance even after the referral .It was akin to a prosecutor stating to the jury that it could decide the matter but as far as the prosecutor was concerned the accused was innocent . Did they even call a human movements expert to contest the evidence of Maynards expert ? .Some involved had allegiance to Collingwood and were not remotely independent . Im no fan of Keane .She sold us down the drain .

6.may 5.viney 4.fritsch 3.salem 2.tomlinson !.mcvee how coluld you leave Fritsch out.? Our only dangerous forward all night .

The overall consequence of retaining both on the list was exacerbated by the fact that we then had to effectively give draft picks 28 and 36 to the Suns to get list space. These picks are in the range that got us Rivers Petty Fritsch Spargo and Howes so they can be important .I accept that we moved from pick14 to 11 and took Tholstrup , But he was a bolter and there was nothing to indicate he would'nt have been available at 14 . I found the swap perplexing .

This summary of Dees 2013 -2020 is far superior to anything I have traversed on the Footy sites or in the media. It was a herculean effort to assemble the data and provide visuals and I thoroughly enjoyed each installment . You are to be congratulated for such an interesting and fact filled post .

if we miss out on finals next year (we wont) then I expect that will mark the end of our era.

what was the strategy behind the pick 14 et al trade for pick 11 and did that strategy materialize ?

I have found Hertz great to deal with both here and in the U.S .Terrific service and always honour the MFC discount.

Now that we have made our 2 first round selections I cannot still understand the swap of picks 14 ,27 and 35 for pick 11 and am actually further confused .We took Tholstrup with the pick 11(now 13 ) but there was nothing to indicate that any of the 3 clubs that would have otherwise been above us were interested in him .We would presumably got him with the old 14.We structured the final list after knowing that we had 2 less draft picks.We cant claim the swap assisted in trying to deal to climb further up the board because we were left after it with a diminution of trade capital .Was there another discrete reason for what appears to be an unusual trade .?

o 'sullivan and windsor ,

Kozzie,Spargo ,Chandler and now Watson ?.Must draft Snow White as well.

Why would we give up pick 11 when we gave so much(too much?) to get it We obviously have a specific plan in mind so lets see how it plays out.

Forget all those ordinary trades of very ordinary players .We kept Clarry and Petty so that's an A+ .

a future 3rd (somewhere in the late 40s ) isn't likely in itself to lead to a team improvement but it will free up some salary cap space .Many here believed that Harmes 2019 extension was one year too generous and i think they were correct .Hopefully Lamb and Taylors present strategy is to free up salary cap space to make a run for an A grader late in the trade period. It appears that we may be

I think he will be a complete miss.Plays with even less aggression than Schache and lacks his forward nous . His only significant asset is his height , Would have most likely been delisted by Brisbane .A future fourth round at best.

Wow i read this as jed Adams and my heart skipped a beat .But its Taylor Adams so who cares

the 2 match result influencing 50s were karma for Berry's unpunished eye gouge on Clarry in last years semi.Suck it up Berry.

Why the love for Laura Kane ? .The case was virtually ended when the AFL proceeded with her and Christian jointly .What did she do to help other than a few crocodile tears afterwards .?She was in on the joke.

Carlton is a shrewd club who would be incensed at being the second case of the night .The club knows that there case is show trial number 2 only in this case the Tribunal will be out to slot them to save face over Maynard .Good strategy to limit the argument to reduced penalty.

Martin will wish his case went first and I would have expected Carlton to have agitated for this .Sadly and completely unjustly he will be offered to the public by the AFL as the sacrifice for Maynard decision.Martin now does not have a chance and is not playing Friday night.

I dont why anyone is the least surprised .It was always only going to be a show trial and as I said previously the chance of the charge being sustained were between nil and Zero the moment Christian said he wasnt prepared to charge Maynard .Told that to anyone who to spoke to.The remainder of the charade became window dressing for the AFL .The next statement will be Maynard saying the only thing that matters to him is Angus health .So cynical and predictable .
