Little Richard

Did he play in 2 finals in his first year? Don't really understand either...

That's my favourite. When we're being referred to as a scalp, I'm happy.

Bloody hell, I miss that guy ?.

We need someone else in there too IMO. A versatile tall, which would allow Lever to play the role he is best at, and would free up Hibberd to run like he did last year. He's all tangled up at the moment.

[censored] this is agonising. We've regressed so much.

Yep, one of the very few who actually hit up a target going forward.

Salem - excellent technical kick, horrible decision maker.

AFL trade whisperer is known for spouting absolute dross, and this is no exception. You only need to scroll through his news feed to see this.

He's going to make a very good coach IMO.

ProDee, I just want to say thank you for being an oasis of reason in these dark times.

Some atrocious passages of play from Port.

Keen to go again. Liam, MacGillsFineWines

I'm excited to see how Balic goes next year. There's only upside so it's another very smart move by Mahoney and co.

Great result here.

Nailed it.

The thread isn't about Oscar STMJ, give it a rest. My point is that premature comparisons to champions of the game have been made many times before, and not realised. Lever is playing some really good footy at the moment, and hopefully he continues on that trajectory. If he does he'll certainly be up there. I hope Lever can maintain this years form when he is in red and blue - the players around him won't be of the same calibre as at Adelaide and he probably won't be playing as a third tall. There'll be more responsibility.

You can do that with so many players over the years though. The truth is, we won't know until Lever has played a similar number of games as Rance in his prime, and a similar age.

Tex obviously isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but jeez... know when to stop mate. You're making yourself and your club look terrible.

I'm not sure STMJ could take it.

McCartin? No thanks.

The last decade isn't enough reason to 'legitimately complain'?

In relation to that discussion about the best midfielders, if we had a Robbie Flower right now our side would be all set. Such a champion. Kudos to whoever put together this video - sensational viewing.

Watts needs to stay forward for the rest of his career and Smith wouldn't fill the need - he's not big enough.

If that eventuated, we'd have another gap to fill on the list in terms of a key back.

Petracca. Doesn't get the ball as much as Oliver, but the things he does with it have us and the media frothing. No doubt the umpires see this too as his touches are more visible than Oliver's as they're often out of congestion. He's just a beast.
