May: one quarter in 2019

I would think those 3 are in danger of being dropped. Couldn't get past the paywall, apart from the 'former captain' bit, what else was in it?

I don't think Pig is the smartest footballer going around. I've listened to a few interviews and been surprised. His approach is simple: mark or spoil, grab ball, run off opponent, long penetrating kick forward to team mate. It's an old fashioned approach that has worked reasonably well in the past. But 666 has not helped our defence. This year I've noticed he doesn't do the defensive reset very well. That is, quickly get back into position, keep within touch of his opponent, get the zone working again. So when his kick goes astray or the ball is knocked loose, usually under pressure, he's caught out and away the overlap goes.

Why would I need to when you obviously know it all I'll write slowly for you, because clearly you struggle: I didn't claim not to be concerned with our current situation. The gif was intended to show how quickly Demonland goes into panic mode. That's all. Move along now

Wild speculation

Hard to do that without speed, pd If we had a bunch of quick mids that were good at run and spread (e.g. Fantasia, Smith, McGrath, Shiel, Zacha, Heppell, Merrett) perhaps there would still be a spot for a slower inside mid such as Jones who balances needs. When a guy like Lockard comes in after 2 weeks and surprises with his pace and spread, you just know that the game is quickly moving past Jones

Thanks for telling me how I think.

Demonland week 3

Old dee, have you noticed that Weid is significantly younger than Tmac and May? Hard to perform at a high level for years when you are young and only played 20 something games. As I said, let's see towards the end of the year

I'd prefer to risk signing him later in the season, because by then we will get a clearer picture of his worth. If he struggles it will be on the club's terms, if his form improves he will get good coin. I'm more concerned about the form and value for money of May and Tmac at the moment than that of Weid

So a tall forward has played 22 games in 3 years. How many games had Max played after 3 years? Different reasons, obviously. The key number is 22 games Don't know if hes worth 700 or if that's even true, but the people on here believing he's a spud or calling for him to be traded are pathetic

It takes more than 4 months for a guy his size to build fitness from GCS level to AFL premium level. I read the article as saying that the standards at GCS were low and he now needs to aim higher.

Not compromised. Just not competent

Link please

Omeara was not a late pick trade. They paid at least one 1st rounder for him, think it was more. Can you please link a quote from the club or anything close to the club as saying May presented in poor shape? I seem to remember reading the opposite This thread is morphing into the fact check thread Edit. Omeara cost pick 10 and future 2nd round

Out: Tmac, ANB In: Preuss, Jeffy

Round 3: Drink it up!

I saw Tmac getting his back worked on extensively over the breaks. Is this why he's so slow atm? I think he needs a rest to get it right. Whatever is wrong, he can barely get to the ball or contest. Doesn't look to be moving well at all.

Relax, we've got this one.

Judge him on his ability, not his lineage.

Shame the rest of the competition aren't prepared to start the season now, eh?

Clearly. The woman behind him can't even bear to look
