Misson resposible. An action packed sports science thriller starring Tom Cruise.

It was. The film is called The Warriors. Apparently the young fellas who made captain america are making a tv mini series on it. Risky taking on a cult classic

No way. Nor sure how he is playing today but normally his attack on the ball is fantastic

Mine too. I'm 48 and as a 16 year old that film was a vhs classic. I rememher renting it and watching it with a group of mates. Ive seen a few times since and again only recently on sbs. I love the stylised gangs and of course the speech from cirius. Great stuff

I think it might have been pd (in anorher guise) who said something along the lines that a critical measure of top 10 picks is the number of games they play for your club, with a clear correlation between where picked and likliehood of say getting to 100 games. On tha measure watts will be a succesful pick as he is well on his way to playing 200 games for the mfc

Warriors come out to playay

Roos picked mj again. Go figure.

He may not play for the again if they don't

Yep as i have posted recently i agree. good, accurate kicks who don't miss easy crosses and can hit hight attacking positions such as in the corridor have never been more important. Look at the Swans Hawks game. Swans lost because at critical times they missed targets that when turned over the Hawks punished 9often witheir left footers).

Interesting when you don't go in a particular thread and go back a bit when you do. The many DL critics of Omac are clearly of completely divergent thinking to the coaching panel who clearly rate him as both a keyt part of our future and a key part of the now. His selection this week is clearly not just about getting game time into him. This is a critical match for us to win and they really wanted omac in the side because with him we are a better chance of winning. With his injury it would have been very easy to rest him and replace him with Dunn or Garland. But they didn't. To be clear i am a big fan of both Dunn and Garland but this is an excellent decision.

That makes no sense at all as a strategy. None. hypothetically lets say they did what you suggest and waited on Kent and other players coming out contract in order to maximise the chances of retaining Hogan. What happens if the strategy fails and in addtion to losing Hogan, other like Kent also leave because they get the club has shown no faith or loyalty to them. Glad you don't have Josh's job.

Yep i have heard him say the same thing. I have also seen him kick set shots with the right (at least i think i have - perhaps i'm conveniently imagining it!). But either way his kicking action looks almost identical left or right which is really rare - usually there is a noticeable difference in technique. Yep, a freak. By the by he is a terrific player but i can't stand his smirk Insert: Rick James Super freak video

Even more freakish in that he is actually a right footer

I hope your mail is good. Though from a semantic perspective even though often a distinction seems to be made between rumour and fact of course there's not necessarily a difference between the two. For example the rumour the Hibberd deal is happening might be accurate, so is in essence a fact.

If all that were true Roos would not select MJ week in week out. Yet he continues to do so and as you concede is likely to do so again. Unlike four of the players you mention he has not once been dropped this season, only going out of the side when injured and coming aback after only two weeks (unlike several other senoir players). What does this tell you? Roos - a premiership coach - rates MJ as a best 22 player and given our low numbers of injured players, clearly rates him as a player. Did Matt Jones actually do anything that justified his spot as a quick outside linkman? Well if you look at the goals on the website he was involved in several scoring chains. Again though Roos obviously disagrees with your assessment. Roos had this to say about the game MJ played last week: "Our wings were really effective today – Matty Jones (30 disposals), Billy Stretch (12 disposals) and 'Grimesy'. Every role is important but I think the wing role has never been more important in football than now." No offence, but the length of your 'analysis' notwithstanding the opinion of one of the most respected AFL coaches carries more weight with me than yours.

So if it is overcast the roof will be open?

I do. Why? Because both players, particularly Hibberd address a very specific need we have - natural defenders who can run, break lines but most important of all can consistently hit targets by foot, including targets 40 to 50 metres away either up or across the ground. Think of how many goals we have given away as turnovers (or indeed times we have failed to capitlise on an attacking move) precisely because we lack players down back with this skill. It is the main reason we have had to play Vince down back and one of the reasons Wagner was promoted so soon. It is also why Salem is down back when it is clear he is not a natural defender. I have no doubt at all it is this specific need that has resulted in the dees chasing Melksham and Hibberd, as opposed to them having a good relationship with Goodwin. Both will make us a better team, not just because of a skill set that addresses a need but also because it will allow Vince to go back into the midfield and Salem play o the wing or in the mid field where he is more suited (and where his skills by foot and hand will do real damage). The other thing worth noting is Hibberd is a left foot kick and it is a big advantage to have a high number of good lefties, particularly down back as it really opens up the field with players covering the right side.

God this rubbish. The dees are run better now than at any point in the 40 plus years i have followed them. Our club don't have the backbone? Sure we can play hardball with a trade but its not up to us to institute grievance procedures it's up to the players. A lack of spine? Typical? What tosh. How about you show some spine and at the next agm challenge Jackson on how weak the club is.

For the millionth time simply go to the article and copy and search the text belwo the headline ie this BANNED Essendon defender Michael Hibberd is likely to request a move to Melbourne in a decision that could trigger a trade standoff between the clubs. The Herald Sun understands the Demons are increasingly confident of landing Hibberd by doing so you will get around the firewall. Funnily enough when you now do it now says at the top of the article: Use keywords to search content on this website

This has been a very noticeable change, particularly in the last 4 weeks or so. With his increased confidence and output there has been a clear increase in the number of times (and confidence to do so) teammates go to him - even when one on one. I assume this is often an instinctive decision and in the past the instinct was to bypass Jack. Not now. Like a virtuous circle.

JW got 7 last week too i think. You'd have to think he'll do ok in the bluey this year. Spot on Nasher - the first quarter was critical and JW was a big factor in our hot start. However he was also involved in a couple of goals that helped keep Freo at arms's length after that. His kick to Hogan where he rag dolled Dawson was a beauty. Looked easy enough but so few of players seem to have that ability to put a kick to a forward's advantage - either weighting it correctly so they can run onto it or putting them in the gun position in a one on one like he did for Hogan. Off one step too. On the conditions it was interesting to hear one of the players compare it to wet weather game in terms of how slippery it was.

Someone commented quite rightly that hunt's speed will be a big asset at ethuad and so will his forward pressure. Amazing to think he didnt play last time against the saints and just a few short weeks later he is s crucial factor in terms of our chances. This is a really important game for us. I will be gutted if we lose

No it didn't.........wait, you were being ironic

Yep, fair call
