  1. The great man. fantastic article. https://themongrelpunt.com/afl-season-2023/2022/11/30/the-fast-track-to-greatness/?fbclid=IwAR1p55LTLK_1zpllAfbw_IViAUmb4e1VI-0pfRhQyFfxeqxrg0_5p_TzVaM&mibextid=Zxz2cZ
  2. That played in the most dominant finals side in years..
  3. From this article: ‘he’s ranked second in the league for marked kicks inside 50, which means he plays a crucial role in the team’s link to score. ‘ He makes his possessions count. Not as flashy as some small forwards, but that stat alone makes him the most impactful.
  4. Jack Viney.
  5. He was running and kicking in Monday’s training gallery on the website. If it was that bad, he wouldn’t be weight bearing, let alone running. Reckon another week or two sounds right.
  6. I did a rapid antigen test when I got home from work. It came up negative. I’ll get a proper test done tomorrow but these things are meant to be pretty accurate.
  7. Yes, I don’t think anyone expects he’ll reach those heights. I’m also not confident he’ll ‘explode’ but if he could become an 8/10 as you put it, the Dees will have an be in a good place for midfield stocks. Throughout the finals series he played 69% game time, and a lot of that as half forward . It’s a good sign he still found away to impact the game, especially on the September stage. I think by the end of next year we’ll have a better idea of his ceiling.
  8. If you wanted, you could go through Petracca or Oliver’s games and point out better options they could have taken. I think you’re one of the most knowledgeable posters here, but I think it’s rough to single out his decision making in the GF. He had 7 kicks, 3 of which were goal assists, and a goal off one step from 55. Even if it fell short, a one on one in the goal square is a pretty good result. Only Jackson had more goal assists with 4, Petracca had 2, then multiple players with 1. Anyway, I agree time will tell if he elevates himself in to a very good player or continues as a solid role player. I personally think if he irons out a couple of things, he’s got some attributes that will give him every chance.
  9. Disco Turner seems to have impressed this far.
  10. Updated injury list pasted from AFL website, excuse the formatting. No mention of petty with his shoulder/collarbone? James Harmes Wrist 1 week Marty Hore Knee Season Bailey Laurie Eye 5-7 weeks Aaron Nietschke Knee Season Joel Smith Knee 5-7 weeks
  11. It’s gone for the start of the second
  12. Watching the replay, noticed the kid’s composure. With great awareness he has the ability to hold the ball a fraction of a second longer, drawing a player in and freeing up a teammate. Many of our senior players don’t have that attribute. Spreads well and positions himself in dangerous spots. Keep it up young fella!
  13. If the the injury sub comes from emergencies, who will it be?
  14. From the MFC website: ”Fans will be able to attend both matches, but will need to secure their spot at Marvel Stadium – limited tickets are still available through Ticketmaster.”
  15. I was originally underwhelmed with this pick, maybe because of Bowey’s size, or lack there of. At a different level of footy, but his awareness, decision making and execution is already in front of most of our regulars. These attributes are the hardest to improve. A definite ‘needs’ pick. I’m converted.
