  1. Inaccurate in front of goal, and accept it. Let Dogs get outside run and spread too easily Hibbo was a poor choice for Wallis Bont should've been tagged from Q1. Harmes was otherwise useless, he was the obvious one to do it Too many passengers: Kozzie, spargo, Hannan, Lockard and tmac If not for May and Lever the margin would've been 10 goals Weid tried hard but drifted in and out too easily
  2. We are our own worst enemies. Can we please have a goal kicking coach that actually does something? MIA: spargo, Kozzie, Hannan, Lockard, harmes
  3. That's true. But correct me if I'm wrong, didn't the state govt offer MFC the Olympic Park facility and the Gutnik board knocked it back? Or was it another board? I'm not sure of the detail, and of course there was probably much more to it than that. However Olympic Park would've been a pretty handy training base over the last 10 years and into the future.
  4. We also got pick 23(?) In the deal, which I believe is Sparrow. Thank you Jesse.
  5. I fear his best years are behind him. Will remain an unfulfilled talent. Happy for the trade where we got pick 6 and 23. Good luck to him in the future, but not in the red and blue.
  6. Goes to show that Pert and co have actually been working hard behind the scenes to improve our finances, assets and home base. The quiet achievers. Love it.
  7. I think Nev has complimented the good work Matty Whelan has also done at the club since he rerired
  8. Crikey, we gave up 2 picks better than 18 & 19 for Lever! And pick 6 which we gave for May is worth nearly the points equivalent of 18 & 19. There were other picks involved of course. I take your point, but I think Papley has shown this year that he's a very, very handy small forward, despite the staging. Can win games off his own boot IMO his going price will be about 1800-2000 points, which is about pick 5 or picks 18 & 19. But who the hell knows It's all moot, we won't get him as we don't have those pick/s. Plus Kozzie will be a beauty, and Spargo is starting to prove many wrong Williams as a FA is what I want to see us play hard for. Who is on your wish list, dc?
  9. Depends what numbers the picks might be. ATM Geelong have 16 & 17 and Bris have 18 &19. Both pairs are 1st rounders. Would you give 18 & 19 for Papley? I certainly would, dc!
  10. Will be Interesting to see if Norf use their 2 x first round picks to bid on any of the aligned players. Or if other clubs with top pick do, for that matter. I like that happening because it means 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks get gobbled up for points, and our later picks move up the order and potentially become very handy. For example, 48, 60 and 62 might end up being 32, 45 and 46.
  11. Not much of a step back from the 1st rounder we swapped to Norf, which will be Pick #18 ?
  12. As much as I love Max, he will be 29 at the end of the year, with 2 knee recos behind him. Jacko looks great as a ruck/forward, but is still only 18. It's not impossible that after two more seasons Preuss could find himself 1st ruck with us and playing finals. Clearly he arrived knowing he'd be 2nd fiddle to Max, and made it clear he wanted to learn from the best. He's an infectious, enthusiastic and popular character at the club. Definitely a keeper.
  13. From your lips to god's ears, Polly!
  14. I love lamp. And the lady down the street is stealing soup
  15. AFL stats say Tmac took zero contested marks against North and Collingwood the last 2 weeks Unless Max is absolutely cherry ripe and assuming we have no further injury issues during the week, I'd like to see no change
  16. Agreed. Isn't this exactly what we got Mr Preuss for? Insurance for Max. If he's fit, I'd tell him to crash into Grundy all game long. To quote ONJ, 'let's get physical' (within the rules) LJ and Weid are starting to gel in the forward line. For now, let's keep them there as much as possible
  17. Imaging if BT was roaming the room and The Package was involved!
  18. At least the tigers were playing the ball and not the man...
  19. For the twitchers out there, his call sounds remarkably like a Southern Boobook
  20. I thought it was a very clumsy and reckless tackle. Looked like his intent was to sling him from the start. He'd be fortunate only to get 3. Along with AVB reversing the near certain goal on the siren, Nibbler's tackle was one of the dumbest things we can take from the evening. As for Burgoyne, we'll...
