It was unrealistic for Melksham to claim a set shot when he was next to the boundary and would've been kicking from 55m. That he pulled the kick is evidence of this. Claiming the set shot doesn't mean you automatically get 30 sec. Umpire probably got it right. I was more disappointed that Melksham's kick was pulled too short for Tmac or Max to have any chance. I understand that he was avoiding a behind, which creates the slingshot for a final Hawthorn attack.

I've heard this story before somewhere. Are you pedalling fake news?

Yes, I agree ?

So I'm not allowed to state his age? Righto. "Only" was your word, not mine, and I said 26.

It's the basketball background. He's slam dunking it onto his foot

Whilst I agree that Omac has not been in as good a form as his last half of 2018, it's worth remembering he has just turned 23 and is still developing both his game and body. People need to remember that guys his size often don't reach their peak until 26 or even later. I have Richmond supporting mates who hated Alex Rance for his first 4-5 years. Btw, I'm not saying Omac is equal to Rance. Omac has 62 game under his belt. The marker for AFL player development his usually around 100 games. I saw enough good things last year to tell me he's worth persevering with. He's had a few mares this year and is the type of player who looks dreadful when out of form. Apart from the last quarter yesterday he was ok, considering he's coming back from a spell and has also had concussion. He'll be better for the run, and the game against GCS will hopefully build his confidence further. Some posters think Omac was gifted games too early in his career and are calling for Petty to be selected. Careful what to wish for or we may do the same thing again. Clearly the FD see Omac as part of our future. I'm glad their memories aren't as short as ours

Went no 3 in his draft. I don't know much about him Has he performed to anywhere near this ability at senior level? Injuries aside, has he kicked a bag or starred in a match?

Stuie would be all over this thread!

A pick. Not first round. And definitely not Harmes. You over analyse

Thats nice. Won't happen. Move on.

And only 2 wins outside the 8! Woohoo!!! ...too soon?

It's a dumb rule, absolute rubbish rule. But technically both were correct.

Something needs to be done about that ridiculous high ball drop. A good player will learn and adapt

Preuss in for Keilty. That's it.

You're on your own there mate. That's rubbish

So.... With 2 mins to go.... WHY WAS OLIVER ON THE BENCH TILL THE SIREN???

Omeara 7 disposals after qtr time That was good coaching and well thought through

Never in doubt

I'm sick of seeing us scramble for goals and then watching opposition teams kick systematic, clean goals. We need better forward structures desperately

Petracca's high ball drop is like a Texan oil well pumpjack

Hore knows how to turn over

You're sounding more and more like DV8

Harmes to o'smeara. Jones in the forward line please.
