DEE fence

*Snap I felt the same, we have teased many times to have an unstoppable forward line. Lyon Schwarz Farmer Neitz looked like it would blow teams off the park as well.

B: Jetta O.Mac Hibberd HB: Lewis Lever Hunt C: Brayshaw Oliver Jones HF: Petracca Hogan Nibbler Fwd: Garlett T.Mac Pederson Ruck: Gawn Tyson Viney Int: Salem, Melksham, Frost, Hannan Emerg: Vince, VDB, Harmes, Balic Updated for the current trade period - serious question - Can Pederson play defence? I don't like any of Lever/Frost/Omac at full back? Lastly a left field option, but putting it out there - Petracca as a defender - could he/would he cope? The reason I suggest it, is he doesn't have the tank-he is not ready for a mid role, and with Hannan, Harmes, ANB, VDB, Melksham, and now Balic, all being forward lurkers we have enough forwards. But they are undersized for a key defender role, (and Lewis Vince Jones, Wagner as well for that matter). I want more than the one skilled, big key back we have in Lever, and which was why I wanted Garland to keep playing. As much as I dislike Rance, (really really, I think of him as a Michael Long type cheat who should be called out and not celebrated), he is a useful gorilla for Richmond. I think Petracca is the only one strong enough and skilled enough to learn/play a key backman role - that is on our list at the moment. I think O.mac and Frost are honest players, but they are not gorillas yet, and even as they mature into gorillas, as till now am not sold on their ball skills or decision making.

The Chop Shop

back to the Lever thread, Watts and Judy out of my starting 18.... Anyone who thinks it's just a business has the soul of a Swiss bureaucrat.

B: Jetta Garland Hibberd HB: Lewis Lever Hunt C: Brayshaw Oliver Jones HF: Petracca Hogan Nibbler Fwd: Garlett T.Mac Watts Ruck: Gawn Tyson Viney Int: Salem, Melksham, Frost, Pederson Emerg: O.Mac, Vince, Hannan, VDB, Harmes Garland has more footy sense than O.Mac and Frost put together and is a great one on one defender. Hogan at CHF can run at the ball, I think he is more of a Carey than a Plugger and T.Mac just knows how to piut them through. Vince has lost a step, just when I thought he had a secret fountain of youth, he is depth now. Pederson needed for his marking ability around the ground, we were bad in the air. Until Watts is gone he is in my best 22 Frost to give Garland a spell Salem as a defender and Melksham subbing Neal-Bullen (either could start to be honest)

picket fence has a friend

yes he shrugs high, he opens himself up to do that, is a brave fella

i was super impressed with his pace this year. I actually think he found a step.

+1 IF ever there was an exception to be made it is for Trenners.

I have never followed Priddis much as a player, but i really enjoyed watching him give his all, nothing to lose and leaving it all on the field, didn't look slow tonight. Good on him, first rate way to play your last game. However watching Wines play makes me want to sue the club for emotional abuse. I also think that WC got its money's worth out of Mitchell the guy is a sniper but wow he makes an extraordinary coach. He gets some of the credit for turning a bunch of oea-hearts into lions...

I'm almost willing to put his comments down to being a frustrated, hurting, supporter. But then i think he's a [censored] of rhe first order. Watching that game, the Port players all tipped in, it was a furious game, you think Dixon wanted to kick 5 points, i didn't see too many passengers this is the sort of comment that when player are hurting would make them say F U ... if i was coach I'd be pi$$ed. Dude has a record of being a windsock just like Kennett.

my 2017 Membership pack arrived this week , I kid you not... (but to be clear that is the Italian post and not the MFC)

;-) am jet lagged, arrived in Melbourne, Australia to find out that we were bumped out of the finals as soon as I got out the door at Tulla... personally Tourettes Tuesday is good for me as well.

After this season, I think we need a short period with no swearing filter - I really am frustrated. But just for a day or two, and then lock it down and move on.

After R23 I've suddenly gone a bit cold on him. Reckon he's signed with Carlton after that game.

Am not big on putting injured players like Garland and Vandenberg on these lists - Garland is not a spud at all.

it is all part of a cunning plan - easier to beat Port in SA than Sydney in Sudney.... have faith you doubters but seriously what a train crash.

Certainly mixed reports on the benefit - the initial sites I read seemed more positive but I trust the mayo clinic http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy/basics/why-its-done/prc-20019167

So Webber et.al.(the medical folk)... I am freaking out about the foot injury, shades of Trengove etc. Would there be any value in oxygen therapy for this injury. We need him in finals, as i'm sure everyone agrees. At the moment he is looking 4 to 6 and it is a huge disaster. Please tell me he will be up for the elimination final? I am sure it is worth the cash.

The are many things to like about this rumour. 1. Ending up with Salem, Kelly and Tyson in the same team, swallow that purple. 2. Watching a Scott brother spontaneously combust. 3. Reminding the World of where the centre of the football universe is. 4. Best of all... probably won't happen, but will still make DB choke, the Scotts go shrill, and dominate with the list we have.

So I'll take that as a 'no', you have no clue what a press pass is. Please don't subscribe me to sentiments I don't hold. No effin where, do i say i want to curtail free speech. Most of the pulitzer prize winners didnt have a press pass. As for the AFL I agree, there is plenty of dodgy behaviour that needs to be held to account. But still my point is about holding the media to account by some method, not the AFL and two wrongs, reporrtedly, don't make a right.

Count to ten, I actually work in places where people get killed for what they say, let alone what they write. My great grand father, grand father, and brother have all been journalists. You do not need to lecture me on my family members who have died in war. I am strictly talking about a press tag, not the ability to write, and about football, you get that there is a difference? I also posted that I was happy to hear other options. Make a constructive suggestion about how to hold the football press to account without being shrill.

something about the contract extension - not the 1st time wirh Gartlett but i do reckon he's been getting alot of attention.

i actually thought the worm turned for Bernie yesterday, please eatch the replay again (its not quite so hard om the heart) i saw enough. Watts and Salem in Stretch Hannan and Wagner out (allthough only Wagner stank), and the mystery 3rd spot goes to someone who deserves a chance. either Trengove or JKH. Viney needs another week not based on anything other than how he plays and a guess at the pain he is in.

This is Gold- sage for the age!
