One thing we know for sure. Sentiment won't be a factor in their decision. Perhaps if it were near the end of the season and we were out of finals contention it might be. But its not and we're not.

Reminds me of steven icke. Not so much in style, more the fact that icky was a brilliant pick up (and also an excellent defender).

An interesting analysis and if true rhe club would have a real dilemma. I reckon pederson might be the unlucky one if indeed ir comes to pass they dont want to play all four. Reason being that synergy is critical to a backline playing the sort of zone defence we are using. Changing dernders upsets that synergy. I see your logic but im not convinced all four cant play, in part because frosty's speed and athleticism mean he might be able to play on smaller players

Yep, good point. Jkh might be a better like for like.

In many ways a like for like, including leadership qualities. If he plays it has to be as an inside mid statring in the centre. Perhaps he could alternate with lewis and vince of hb

He has good vision doesn't he. And takes smart options.

Geez it sounds pretty unlikely from that article. Yet to join in main session. Only straight line running atm. Id be happy if he did play

Are you saying viney has not yet shown 'true leadership'?

Agree. You'd have to expect we will also be better placed to respond to the times Gawn needs a chop out than we were before he got injured. So no let up for the opposition!

Not true at all.

Written by Anna Harrington. I really like her articles on the dees.

My bad, i thought his dad was Mark McClure. You're right about him getting stick from Lyon, though i don't usually listen to SEN 9i actually quite like RSNs footy discussion). Even on Talking Footy the others seem pretty dismissive of him - but to be fair to Sam that might be the standard 'you've never played at the elite level like us' routine ex players seem to love so much. Also risible.

Terrible show. I simply cannot stand pink lips McClure. Smarmy gossip hound who Watson, Darcy and Carey must hate having to work with. Apple does not fall far from the tree. Can't stand his old man either

Don't want him. Selfish player. Burnt teammates twice in a couple of minutes in the last q going for hero goals. Not on

Jets is an unsung hero outside of the dees. Surely has to be in AA considerations. Our most consistent and reliable players.

I have studiously avoided responding to your posts but this post makes no sense whatsover

He made one crucial in the error, the one that lead to a pies goal. The other one was standard clearing kick from the backline. And in my opinion he was outstanding in the second half against the pies.Critical to our victory in fact. But those comments aside apologies for the criticism. it was supposed to be in jest and riffing on the #OMacmyth idea but i could see how it could come across as a dig. I enjoy the show by the way and i will take up the invitation to call in at some point (i have thought about it but only listened live a couple of times).

Not everyone

Bells was on the money.

#OMacmyths - OMac is a fringe player One of the funniest myths in fact. Fringe players yo yo in out of the side. think ANB, Kent, Stretch, Wagner and from last year Mat Jones. OMac has been dropped once in his career, came back after a week, been in since and in likelihood will play every game for the rest of the year. In fact i would go as far as saying he may not be dropped again for years. A fringe player? hardly. He is key member of our back six - now and in the future. I don't think the coaching staff can make that much clearer. By your logic when we have Jessie and Maxy back he, as fringe player who is lucky to be in the side and only got his chance because Spencer got injured (which given they could have brought Spencer in for OMac last week and this week but haven't is a tenuous argument), is sure to be dropped. But of course he won't be. And then you will have to rely on old #OMacmyths (they are just getting games into him for the future, its not about winning games now its about the future etc etc) or make up new ones (he's lucky the swans have two bigs in Reid and Franklin, he has photos)

#Omacmyths Oscar was lucky to came in when we were short of rucks and we needed to throw in his bro for coverage

Loving how the footy club is responding to Demonland topics. First the write up on Omac, replete with highlight package - and in which Omac says he knows he some critics but ignores them. Now this: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-06-16/hannans-journey-from-dogs-to-dees

I like the accompanying omac highlights package from Monday's game. Its almost as if it were put together for this thread and/or to dispel some #Omacmyths. Some nice first half highlights. I also liked the fact the final highlight they play play to its conclusion - Watts' match winner!

I don't know why there is an issue with the 3 year deal. if he gets to the point where he is not earning regular senior selection i suspect he will retire and they will negotiate a reasonable pay out. With a bit of luck they might be able to keep him involved in the club as they have done so brilliantly with Crossy.
