BAMF

A frustrating player. Goes missing frequently. Doesn't push into up the wing enough like Kent could. When he gets the ball he usually looks great but the problem is that he doesn't get it enough. Have watched him at live games working really hard to create chances for himself. He is sort of a combination of Fritsch, Spargo and Melksham and I can't see a spot for him in the best 22. Do we hold onto him for depth when we have so many other similar players? I would prefer to bring someone who can push into the midfield for extra run.

Is there speculation we are into Smith? I'm really not a fan of being the retirement home for old players unless we pick them up for virtually nothing. Smith would be a short term fix.

I've mentioned it before in this thread. I would love Xavier O'Halloran from GWS. We might need to throw in a small sweetener to get it over the line. Otherwise, I think the club should be looking at future picks and continue avoiding this draft.

I highly recommend everyone listens to this. The whole thing was great but if you are pressed for time the Demon content is from 33-53 mins. But you really should listen to the whole thing No amazing headlines to report that haven't already been reported in the past but a great insight into what happened during his tenure.

I wouldnt even define Harmes role in 2017 as a 'hard tag'. He was certainly playing as a defensive mid, but he would get enough of his own ball to hurt the opposition. It was a great role for him and often left the opposition 'star mid' looking foolish for not paying him enough respect.

Straight swap for Xavier O'Halloran please.

Was chilli boy also known as nudge a bit later? Or were they both just rumour posters. I can't remember if they were the same. They used to make it interesting. The Riddler was always a clear wannabe compared to these two. None of their mail was as good as the trade breaker himself though....

Essendon defenders do not give a flying [censored] about this game. Either that or they are all complete spuds. Fritsch and ANB doing as they please

Jetta is contracted for another year. You will need to "find a way to get him off the list too."

The trade eventually included Rivers. But we gave up our second round pick as part of the North trade. We could have used that pick on Rivers So it really is Pickett vs Serong. Rivers should not be included when evaluating the individual trade.

After Goodwins first year we changed the game plan to move the ball quicker by foot rather than with run. Seeing Jayden running with the ball went against the plan as much as we (the supporters) loved it. To make it worse he would often run himself into trouble or kick long with little accuracy. He fell out of favour and has looked like half the player he was. He could be delisted this year which is unbelievable considering how good he looked in 2017.

Bizarre that we were playing a crippled TMac for so long ahead of him. Truly some odd team selections this year

Did ok? He blatantly held him and was incredibly lucky that the umpires are complete spuds

Wow. Rivers as a late pick was a steal. Can't believe he hasn't played more this year

May. Holy [censored]. What a game

At about round 8 I would say we couldn't afford to drop him. Every time I see him recently I feel like throwing something at the tv. Can't believe how much I was looking forward to watching how his season was going to play out.

The only thing I can think is that the umps think we play for frees and aren't paying them Edit: whilst saying that... The umpires have been terrible both ways. Some really bizarre calls/non-calls. Melksham with 2 of the most obvious throws you will ever see not called come to mind

Ok. After expecting a big year his whole season has been disappointing. At least he was hitting the scoreboard early in the year. His soft efforts stick out more and cannot be tolerated if he isn't hitting the scoreboard. Laying tackles has got to be a non negotiable.

Remember under Roos when there was a focus on not fumbling? And defence?

Frustrating me so much the last 4 - 5 games

Wow. You could see that happening for 30 seconds

took me a minute to realise too

I heard Roos tell the story a few times. I think its in his book too

Omac... Why? All of Demonland knew he wasn't needed. Goodwins bizarre selections continue

I love it that we come out and repeatedly said that the short breaks are no big deal and that we are prepared for it. Well... Based on the evidence we are the worst prepared club at dealing with them.
