monoccular

If Preuss becomes “interchangeable and equal” with Max we will indeed become the feared and the hunted.

sonof norm: to answer your question, certainly some in the club recruiting / list management hierarchy feel he has some hope, which is why they chose him.

What an absolute wankfest we have ru(i)Ning our game. I ceased to woder that several years back. Gil to dash onto the field on his polo pony: would bring both members of the crowd to their feet.

Weird family was revealed when daddy repeatedly tried to excuse and deflect little boy’s inexcusable carrying on.

Good to hear ..... but how can you bring yourself to speak with Norf fans?

Horrible thing to happen to anybody. Will take a very long time to recover tohis high standards, if at all.

Which supermarket and more importantly what was he buying? Anti-inflammatories? Sox? Nail clippers? Health food?

Still on this earth as of today Certainly not Colonwood supporters !

jnr - you missed the tongue ? in cheek.

Some of my friends (and quite likely some not so friendly observers at matches) seem to believe, for some very strange reason, that I am just a little one eyed about the amazing mighty Demons. And it was not until a while after I registered that it was pointed out, interestingly by an optometrist, that I couldn’t spell?

I don’t see how one can say that Smith “is a better forward than Pedersen”: sure he may become one but is entirely an unknown quantity at this stage. But Pedersen has run his race,and Smith is still in the running. And I do agree that this whole thread is anything other than comparing like with like, which at least to me makes it fairly meaningless

Nev Jetta went from delist to essential part of the team and leading AFL small defender after recovering from (presumably) similar issues. Hope KK can do the same.

My ingrained pessimism (gained from following MFC since the glory years) had me gasping with resigned horror as I quickly read this as “finished for the season”! ??

Are Essendon not allowed to inject their players in the official off season?

Thanks all for your reports. Overall optomistic.

So should we all put the house on him for 2019 Downlow? And Preuss

And we have two Wagners who can compose his background music. Clearly yet another absolute gun ... heard it first here.

Clearly he is going to be an absolute gun - you heard it first here.

IMVHO Jordan will be “depth” by mid season 2019. ?

Will Max forever be remembered for what he didn’t do round 1 v Geelong? Overall his goal kicking was pretty good for a big man. Does anyone have access to his set shot stats?

I am sure Gillon will have some bulltish 'explanation' if asked.

If we are the best team we will beat all others ... simple. And we want to be the best, so enjoy it.

Yes. This year Geelong were really excited at huge wins in the final two rounds, against easy beats — didn’t really prepare them for finals though. .... yet it appears that they can ?

What a joke of an “organization” .... Gil and his band of merry men are really a bunch of amateurs running a multi million dollar business. They have what about 6 weeks to do one thing, arrange the “draw” or fixedture more like it .... and they can’t get it right! Clowns ... though that is a bit unfair on clowns, as they at least are generally funny.

??? !!! Leave the numbers alone. Hurrah moving from #48 jinxed him!
