    Jones. You're joking. Dunkley. Some good things under pressure May. Saved the game. Petty. Shows potential Frost. Starting 22 in 2020 Neal bullen. B grade Viney. Not a thinking footballer Oliver. Leadership in spades

    This is a difference between us and .say, the Hawks. No sentimentality over there. Would clearly be respectfully retired by Hawks at end of this season. As Goody should. Slower reflexes, fumbly....... The end comes to all of us, but what's in the best interests of team development trumps other angles. IMO More games needed into Hore, Lockhart, Sparrow, Dunkley, Baker, Wagners, Petty......as the priority.

    Not in the final 15 minutes though when i thought he provided a calmness down back with good disposal

    It's got to be someone applying constant physical pressure and touch. Salem would be a sacrifice too far. Setting wagner the task and sacrificing own game might work.

    Someone had to. His last 10 minutes today had leadetship and calm thinking stamped all over it.

    Great post. The team has a good kick now down there and the keys to a finals standard defence with lever and future 10 year player hore. I see May as a walk up to leadership group in 2020. Fitting that he had the ball today at final siren time

    Sadly you may be right. I don't think jack can solve his right side issues whereas as Brayshaw can improve his weaknesses, and his performance alone in the finals has to count for something (think 3rd 1/4 Vs hawks.)

    Another sensible and smart left field post. Could just be the solution.

    good option and sets Lever up to take role when Max retires in the distant future. Lever was seen as potential skipper at Crows which was one reason they were upset he left.

    Big test coming up for the club and for jack Viney's selflessness (or not) to not seek the role in 2020 to focus on form Max seems an obvious choice for his professionalism to preparation alone but might be a burden he doesn't need. Jake lever anyone?
  11. Demon17
    Was at the game. Great summary nasher. But Viney's lack of a right foot is now a huge issue. All clubs know this.
  12. Demon17
    Yes. Today will be another underwhelming output. Might win the odd one on one and maybe a cameo but thats about it.
  13. Demon17
    Good question. No point trac practising when his ball drop/technique is fundamentally flawed.
  14. Demon17
    But I loved watching him play faults and all. He set the club up as a destination by his recruitment to us. Exactly what the club needed at the time. Really hope he stays .

    Excellent last paragraph LG. I optimistically agree with david king who said this week melbourne 's run at the 2020 flag starts now with planning and getting healthy list in place. Your point on whay we have found in new talent can only improve 2020 prpspects.

    Great post. He was in tears after the game. Don't tell me this won't help make him a better player.

    The ball plays as if wet due to the humidity. My Darwin background. Viney said at half time the ball was a cake of soap. Sounds strange but the moisture in the air is incredible. I was worried at half time Oliver would go off the boil in the second half after his heroic efforts in second 1/4 in these conditions.

    Great call LG. Garlett's easy miss in the game's first minute was deplorable and a scene setter. Those types of misses should be under the microscope big time. Not Weid's shot with a wet ball and hardly surprising at that time of night. He will learn. And while I'm at it, when I see Petracca with an improved technique , then I'll believe the coaching/development team are doing their job. Until then, Trac gets away with murder for a professional sportsman.
  20. Demon17
    16 possessions in the 2nd quarter might have finished him in the humidity. ???
  21. Demon17
    I loved watching Hogan and wish him well. Back to Perth was the best move for him. BUT.... look at the stats from last weeks Freo win and Jesse is bottom of the list. I just don't see him reaching the potential he clearly had. A Ross Lyon coached team won't get it done for him either Smart move by MFC to do the trade.
  22. Demon17
    This is professional sport. Why on earth is the above a reason to get paid/a game.
  23. Demon17
    Hawthorn retired Michael Tuck as a premiership skipper despite his willingness to play on. Goodwin's approach with Nathan Jones at years end will tell us something . He's paid to make the tough list decisions.
  24. Demon17
    Good call. Darwin at night is similar to wet weather footy.
  25. Demon17
    His mother seemed pleased though an that's what counts.
