    Joe. Bull Smith - good to hear. Lockart - tiger with class.

    Well put. During the game I thought he needs to watch the raw power of Gary Ablett senior. Take the game by the throat. Kick goals.

    Big Max goes from strength to strength. He has authority and leadership. He would make an excellent captain.
  4. Deefender
    The backline would not want to be judged by the same standards as applied to Oscar McDonald.

    The indigenous guernsey is a winning design.

    Too many players kick the ball with no purpose. They don’t run through; it’s often just a few steps and lollipop lobbed in the general direction. Amateurish and pathetic.
  7. Deefender
    We should give Bull Smith a run at centre half forward.

    I have complete faith in Oscar McDonald. Big men take longer to reach their potential. He’s only just turned 23. Repeat, 23. Fair go. In a couple of years he will be indispensable. Mark my words.

    Thanks for this amusing anecdote Saty. Toby is lucky to be learning from a master. From his first game, it was obvious that if you got tackled by Nev, you stayed tackled .. and it may well hurt.

    tiers. ‘As weagles showed this year, two ruckmen are better than one if used intelligently. Highlights of Preuss show a big, strong, mobile, marking ruckman who can score goals. Imagine Maxie patrolling the backline and Preuss frightening the opposition in the forward line. If this can be pulled off it could be the master stroke of the decade.’ Reminds me of those glory days when Strawbs O’Dwyer and the great Jimmy Stynes owned the MCG.

    The Wizard. Sometimes he stood on the shoulders of giants.

    Call their bluff. If you don’t have single digit picks, then we’ll take Cerra and Brayshaw ... and maybe we’ll throw in a second round bone.
  13. Deefender
    You can build a team around a young man like Jesse Hogan. Cerra and Brayshaw might be excellent players but you won’t build a team around them. Freo has to pay up big.

    I remember Sean White playing full back. Hell, he was very good and just the sort of man to nullify the best like Gary Ablett Snr.

    In 1964 all radio was from a power point. There were no transistor radios. I listened to the grand final as a twelve year old on the family radiogram. I was there for ‘87 and at Waverley too. The Dees have unfinished business. Momentum and belief are powerful forces when combined. Step aside. We’re on our way.
  16. Deefender
    Too right. The MCG - our ground.
  17. Deefender
    They were missing a couple of players. Add Jack Viney to the mix this time.

    The Dees have good depth in their team now. Consider: When Essendon was a power Gary O’Donnell played 50 reserves games before he made his debut. And then he went on to captain them. JFK has plenty of time. Melbourne is a good side and a hard side to break into.
  19. Deefender
    He’ll be fine Sam. Tom McDonald hit his straps around age 24. Expect the same from Oscar and Sam.
  20. Deefender
    Don’t give the entertainment away. Step it up instead. Make it a race right around the boundary line with more than one competitor.
  21. Deefender
    The Dees already have the men required to win a premiership. They don’t need to go looking for the likes of Gaff, and in his case the attendant flak. What is lacking remains above their shoulders only. Perhaps they turned a corner against the Suns on Sunday when they won a game ‘they should win.’
  22. Deefender
    Don’t want him at the club. Angus Brayshaw will be more important to us.
  23. Deefender
    Gaff should do twice the time of his victim.
  24. Deefender
    Brayshaw - what a gun!
  25. Deefender
    Melbourne has so many inside 50s it is imperative that they have sweepers for the inevitable loose ball. Jeffy, Spargo, JKH and even Salem come to mind.
