Oh Chip, what an absolute gun! Well done to Greeny, a worthy winner and our best senior player by an absolute mile.
-
Sign your life away on him being captain next season then. How much is he leading by in the total count?
-
Scully = Best First Year Player Shocker Green= Heart and Soul Award... whatever that is
-
Side-boobs at a black tie event are a big no no. Same goes for dresses which are more than halfway up the thigh. On the plus side, they'd all look great at whichever club they're going to afterwards.

Herald Scum website. Trust them to have photos from our B&F as a major headline (not that I'm complaining, we are very important!)
-
Pia Miller looking unbelievable as always (you'd have to consider turning for her), and Chip's girl too. Some pretty questionable looking dresses though. If I can see your private parts, it's probably a bit inappropriate for a black-tie event Scullgove the best looking couple by far My money is still on Chip, although if Greeny wins it I reckon he's a monty for the captaincy!
-
That mo makes me want to vomit! However, it makes him awesome, and hence I love it.

Scully also comfortably had the best game of any player nominated for the RS this season, when he collected 39 disposals against the Dogs. His work this year is underrated, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that he does so much "inside" work that doesn't get noticed. Probably why McKenzie didn't get nominated either. It's only in the last 4-5 games of the year that Scully has really started to back his pace and run forward of the packs, and I think that will shoot him up the rankings today and he'll come second.

Because you can never have too many Jacks

Before Round 21, Frawley conceded the third least amount of goals for any defender in the competition (not sure if his rankings dropped, but I doubt it as he conceded only 2 goals in the last 2 rounds). It would be a complete and utter disgrace if he doesn't make the final team, as he is CLEARLY in the best 6 defenders in 2010. On your stats, Green also deserves to make the team, as does Jamar, but a lot depends on how many midfielders they're going to try and fit into the team by squeezing them into the forward/back lines at the expense of true forwards/defenders/rucks.
-
So between now and 2014 you want us to lose every ruck contest and thus struggle to ever win a clearance. That will sure fast track our development. While we're at it, lets get rid of Davey, Rivers, Moloney and Green, because they'll be pretty old by the time we're ready to win a flag. Seriously, no.
-
How did Frawley get to pick 12! CHB of the friggin century coming up right there. Not to mention that a pick later was Jack Reiwoldt, who just won a Coleman. Good draft for KPP that one was!

They have some very good young players, especially in the midfield (Swallow is an absolute gun). But I do wonder whether they can peak much more beyond a mid-table finish. I think they are playing close to their best, especially when Harvey is on fire, and yet they couldn't make finals and their percentage is very poor. Some of their kids are 2/3 seasons ahead of ours, and I know I'd be upset and worried if we don't make finals in 3 seasons. Much like Adelaide, they are very disciplined and when they play the zone well, they can choke teams into defeat, but I think time and time again we've seen that the best teams in the competition will beat the zone and end up winning premierships with a more flowing, attacking game. At the moment their midfield is better, and they have better ruck/forward prospects which we desperately lack (that is, a secondary ruckman who can help Jamar), but we have a far superior defense and better forward prospects.
-
Exactly. Just a regulation mark for LJ. I have little doubt he'll end up taking some of the best marks and kicking some of the best goals we've ever seen. How was his pass to Brad Green yesterday which flew between 3 North players and onto Green's chest!
-
He's had 3 quiet games. Everybody panic because OMFG he's now probably not going to make it Just because Scully is a freak and can run out his first season better than 10 year veterans, doesn't mean we should hold everyone to the same standard. He must be really feeling the pinch of a long season. He was phenomenal early on in the year and will continue to develop. He'll be at least an A grader, if not better.
-
Brad Scott is an A-grade [censored]. Instead of focusing on his club, he was all over making comparisons between our clubs. Just focus on surviving in Victoria and STFU. We don't need you to worry about us and how we're developing.
-
If he doesn't back himself to kick goals, why should his teammates? He has to start trusting his kicking and go for goal when in a 50m range. He is one of the better set shots at the club and can certainly get the distance, but too often he looks to handball or pass the ball inside our forward 50, which in most cases ends in a turnover. It's frustrating because the one thing he doesn't lack is kicking skills!
-
We've had some shockers paid against us this year, but none were more against the spirit of the contest than the disallowed goal to Jurrah (although the deliberate rushed against Chip comes close) WHY NOT PAY ADVANTAGE YOU [censored]?!

3 things i fell in love with this season....
Jaded No More replied to Jerry Lundergard's topic in Melbourne Demons
1. James "The Bull" Frawley 2. Some of our transitional passage from half back 3. Jack Scullgove -
He does things that I have never seen anyone else do, and more importantly than that, he is consistent, in that even on a poor day, he still contributes multiple goals. So he is unique in two aspects, one being his amazing skills and sense of the play, and two in that his type of "flashy" players are generally very inconsistent, but he isn't. He has the potential to be one of the greats

My dream is to see Morton at CHF with an extra 15kgs on his frame.
-
Aussie did his hammy again??
-
Morton is all class. He took some great contested marks today and made very good runs for us. Bate is struggling. He can't keep his feet and is slow so when he doesn't win the ball we have lost the contest. Oh and whoever said Newton was better than Morton today needs to get off the crack.
