Agreed. Don't think Jesse went overboard. Just called him out. Whether it was on twotter or even on an anonymous footy forum, he achieved what he wanted to. Good on him!

That hit he took against the doggies a number of years ago was enough to make me go:

Excellent post. Nuanced and intelligent perspective. Many posters could take a lesson from this, but of course, won't.

Some supporters look at every single player who was taken after out picks and shout "why didn't we take him, I knew he'd be a gun!!!" It's super easy to look in hindsight with simplistic assessments on individuals. There is always an element of a lottery in the draft. I'd say we've done pretty well with smokeys and later picks in the last few years. Hore, Fritsch, Hannan, Lockard, T Smith. And that's not even going back to Tmac, Hunt, Harmes, etc. Hopefully guys like Dunkley show some promise too. The next most ridiculous comment from supporters is: "I don't get paid $200k to recruit players and I could do better!!!" Lol!

They are all talented. And we are all anonymous hindsight kings on here where the stakes are low. Would you care to put forward your 1-25 for this year's crop?

Fresh injury: Kent, season.

Killjoy.

Do you know how the extended bench or emergencies system work? If one of May, Frost or Petty were to be late outs due to a niggle during warm up or a sudden bout of gastro, who do you think might replace them? Remember Brisbane will have Hipwood, McStay and one of either McInerney or Martin in the forward line. Hore and Pig are not tall enough, Tmac is a waste down back (he played back first qtr last week and was terrible during that time). Omac is the obvious next in line As it is, Omac is an emergency. So almost certainly will play for Casey.

Unfortunately Red, the choice is not Jeff's ☹

I believe he can nominate for any of those, so the choice is his. Freo have a to match any bids, though.

Agreed. As Preuss builds a tank and lasts more than half a game, he will get more game time. He's only 23.

Nah, he leaves that up to anonymous nobodies on Demonland. Along with potting Roos, Goodwin, Taylor and anyone at MFC. We know better....

Actually, Paul Roos was full of praise as well for Weid's repeat efforts and spoils despite the less than acceptable delivery inside 50. But what would he know....

I think of it more like sitting at the sushi train, only every dish has Japanese rabbit terrine on it

Preuss for 7 times is one of the lowest from all teams

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Preuss is 23, blows up by half time, even though he's 2nd ruck, in the forward line or on the bench. Tmac is a senior player with runs on the board over a number of years. Lets remember he kicked 53 goals last year. Coming good from (alleged) injuries and form slump was inevitable. Player selection is based upon form, player and team development, opposition match ups/balence and individual player load. Claiming a player is played because they are the "coach's favourite" or that they are "gifted games" shows how simplistic some supporters are.

This x 10 ?

The point being that being a "coach's favourite" and "gifting games" are bull [censored] slogans and not the same as developing a young kp player over an older player approaching retirement (Lewis, Pedo) or a player who struggled with us when we were by far the worst team in the comp (Magner). Watts first game and James Magner were not Goodwin's or even Roos' calls to make. Not apples with apples. We had limited options for key backs last year, even up until a few weeks ago. Omac had a servicable year in 2018. I thought he and Frost were part of a good backline that helped propel us to a PF. Got showed up by Hawkins and a couple of others, but took quite a few scalps as well. He's been out of form this year and the club are addressing it with good player development strategies. FMD... talk about damned if they do, damned if they don't. Preuss has no tank at the moment and lasts 2 quarter at VFL level and Tmac is back in form, so I'm not sure what the problem or what your point is.

Oh didn't you know LN? Apparently he had a poor game, was just "filling out a jumper" and "isn't earning his place"

Fake news II

On a par with spreading fake news, such as Omac was only selected in the draft because he is tall and "his brother is good"

Oh, well that's that. Close thread because picket knows what. FMD....
