  1. It's not out of the question. Look at the baby Bombers of '93. We are a young talented side full of running and a lot of players who are used to winning in their junior teams. They will be confident and take the game on. With the dream draw we've been given and a good injury run we can scare the hell out of the rest of the competition this year.

    Agree.

    We should surprise this year.

  2. If only you guys would read the posts- I only stated this information gained from the opening thread by Ron Burgundy-Cale Morton - our forgotten future (potential) superstar whom states that Morton has put on 7kls..if you disagree with this then state it on the appropriate site..and by the way-why are you so arrogant to say Ron is incorrect.If you go to training, which I believe you do- you would notice he seems to have grown-if this is the case he would instantly be heavier.But by his frame-I agree re questioning his increase.What do you believe he weighs now?

    I definitely believe he's put on muscle, but if the MFC site states he weighs 85 kg, then it hasn't been updated for a while. It's hard to tell heights when you're comparing a relatively skinny kid in Morton, a heavier build in Garland and a tank in Frawley.

  3. Well I am going to ask you to re read my post then come back and apologise. Let your brain take in what I said.I stated the facts are ON THE MFC WEBSITE..

    If you say Morton's 7 kg heavier, then your information's outdated :)

  4. In case anyone does have a copy, I'll list what every game is.

    Round 15, 2000: Hawthorn vs Melbourne. Won by 69 points (141-72). Farmer kicked 7 goals, Ooze kicked 4.

    Round 1, 2002: Hawthorn vs Melbourne. Won by 26 points (129-103). Neitz kicked 5. (Used to have this on tape...but no idea if that still exists and we don't have a VCR)

    Round 1, 2003: Melbourne vs Hawthorn. Won by 6 points (106-100). Neitz kicked 5 again. Didn't Junior get concussed?

    Round 18, 2004: Melbourne vs Hawthorn. Won by 42 points (107-63). Neitz kicked 5 goals...Yze 32 touches.

    Round 8, 2006: Hawthorn vs Melbourne. Won by 75 points (136-61). Neitz finally bettered himself, kicking 7.

    I guess you're looking for Melbourne's/David Neitz's dominance over Hawthorn :)

  5. I was disappointed he didn't play on him in round 20. Would have been very interesting to watch.

    Players like Gehrig and Lynch were impossible to move one-on-one. Garland's strong but I think he'd get a caning going against big bodies like that.

    Most defenders couldn't take Gehrig. Garland would do a decent job, though.

  6. Collingwood don't have a FB to take on the monsters, yet people talk up their defence a lot...

    I rate Maxwell ahead of Rivers, but I rate the Frawley/Garland combination over Brown/Reid.

    People may think Garland's not good enough to hold down FB/CHB, but have we got anyone better?

    Also deeluded, Cook's not a defender, and never will be.

  7. Sorry for some that I need to spell it out to them..I am saying for the MFC that Garland is capable of playing FB or CHF if needed or suited.However, he will not be picked on a continuous basis in that role.He most probably will play either HBF or BP as he did in 2010..

    He never played HBF or BP.

    He played FB/CHB, switching with Frawley as required. Rivers played the Maxwell role as a third tall.

  8. Bailey has told Jones that his chances of playing in our midfield are slight and that he needs to develop other areas of his game, hence the tagging role. But the leadership group is decided by the players so this isn't taken into consideration.

    Good luck to him, but I don't think Bailey gives a sh!t about whether you are in the leadership group when he thinks about his best 22.

    Miller-itis.

  9. If Sam Blease is still eligible for the Rising Star Award next year, then i'd definately consider wagering a few dollars on him winning it.

    He could definately give David Swallow and the Other Gold Coast kids a run for their money.

    I'm not sure why, but i just think that once Blease finally breaks into the senior team, that he won't be out of it again any time soon- i'm more excited aboot how he'll go next year than any other of our youngsters!!

    Blease for the NAB is a better bet than Sylvia for the Brownlow.

    Sylvia in 2012/13, when we're genuine competitors.

  10. wouldn't have thought so since he has actually struggled a bit to eran spot in the 22 at times, is not particularly high profile. I think he is a gem but public perception is important. Macca wasn't high profile but he was AA, Bluey winner and auto-selected every week

    Jones was one of the three Demons who played every game this season.
