  1. True possessions aren't everything,, I think players both back and forward (i.e. Lockhart or Pickett), wouldn't have had too many touches, but are valuable pressure players, I'm just not overly sold on Tomlinson, I think Garry Lyon summed up when missed 3 Demon targets by 5 metres and turned the ball over with very little pressure, he seems to do that a bit. He's got good size, and can run, but he seems a peripheral player at the moment.
  2. In: Hunt Out: Tomlinson I forgot Tomlinson was even playing till he bobbed up for a mark in the last quarter. Two pacy wingmen would be awesome.
  3. They've been not so bad , geez we love to eat our own
  4. Nothing about Jackson on the MFC website, 3 hours after Brown announced in the media. Sometimes we get treated like junior clerks.
  5. The only issue I have with him, he does tend to fumble a bit, cost us against NTH this week when we were away and he had a player in front of him but he fumbled, needs to become a one grab player. Love his endurance
  6. It's one way to raise revenue, certainly wasn't reportable
  7. Further to the confusion for me was, there was a goal umpire and a boundary umpire who were in exactly the right spot to judge whether the ball had been marked legitimately, however the field umpire who is at 90 degrees to the play dismisses the GU and BU judgement and calls for a review. The field Umpire was in the worst position ever to ask for that to be reviewed.
  8. I thought Lockhart was really good tonight, don't nderstand the hate
  9. I thought they were quite amusing to watch last night
  10. I'm reserving my whinge until I see their Round 13 to 17
  11. I remember this dude awful exploitation by some Hawthorn lowlifes
  12. What are they saying down at Glenferrie Rd NOW?/????
  13. Did you read my mind

    Ray Smith was a beauty
  18. Good point Nasher, maybe this topic should have it's own thread, but I think with the game slowing down due to the u/12 type tactics of teams these days, do we really need 3 (and sometimes 4 umpires),? Each has their own interpretation of the rules, which only fuels the inconsistency argument. Most umpires are guessers, that is why habitual actors like Danger and Duckwood get frees paid to them constantly. I think the game needs just 2 umpires, lets face it for most of the game they are stuck one half or the other, I'm a great believer in human frailties being part of the game, get rid of the goal line technology, cut down to two umpires (one at each end) and let them make mistakes like everyone else Shrug and get on with the game (win some lose some)
  19. Better game than the Coll Hawt v game. I reckon were doing alright. Amazing how tracs miss can turn a game around
  20. Good to see some passion after the goal
