He is constantly out wide bailing out the likes of May or Oliver when they’ve dug it out of the trenches Then all of a sudden he bobs up 8 seconds later at the other end of the ground to receive again and you think Christ how did he run faster than the ball? And how is he always on his own?
Apart from the odd shank has been absolutely bloody brilliant for us this year.

I reckon he’s the best player in the comp.
Love the bloke. He’s my favourite player.
I completely agree. Absolutely love him.
He’s as incredibly accurate field kick for a guy his size and position. He took 6 intercept marks tonight and attacks the footy beautifully.
He doesn’t get the credit outside here but I think he’s been our most important player all season.

Ratten should go back to Carlton he doesn't belong in St.Kilda. Cleary his eyesight is gone, I saw it over the line and called a goal but why wasn't it paid a mark it was wasnt it or do I have Rattens glasses on. Close to goal of the year.

He'd probably go better in Melbourne under COVID restrictions where he's not allowed to leave the house after 8pm

If he wasn't named Harley Bennell, and we were just talking about some bloke from Freo with off field issues, injury problems and who is struggling for a game so badly that he's possibly being switched ends; there's no way this thread is going the way it is so far.

You are joking, right? So when we say we don't have a sample size big enough to work out whether Brayshaw should play on the ball, a third placing in the Brownlow less than 2 years ago isn't helpful data to assist in making that assessment? Give me a spell.

100% correct. The suicide rate is through the roof sadly. Add in the new cases of depression and anxiety and god knows what else and its a much bigger disaster than the virus.
Protect the vulnerable and open things up. Locking people in their homes and destroying their immune systems is diabolical, if not evil.
Scott Morrison needs to show some leadership.
Being who exactly? Obviously not the 20 year old who died yesterday or the 30 year old who died the day before. If that age bracket is starting to die, who exactly are you expecting to be in the 'invulnerable' category?

I would probably open everything up again. These lockdowns are just killing the economy and many peoples livelihoods. What is the suicide rate at the momment and how many people cannot or won't get care for other problems such as cancer. How many cases in so called covid deaths especially in elder people are actually due to other reasons but because they have contracted covid their death is simply put down as one.
This may sound silly to some but I believe the so called cure is worse than the disease.
It does sound silly.
We haven't actually had the full whack of the disease. You wouldn't like it if we did, believe me. The cure is pre-emptive.

I like it.
Could rotate between him and Trac/Oliver forward. Oliver is a solid mark and well everyone knows Tracc is great in front of goals
It's a hard one but I don't think there is enough sample size for Brayshaw to play large minutes in guts just yet.
He needs to get back to some really good form and do it against Pies/Saints and few other times before his time in there can be worthwhile.
Viney, Kozzie and Spargo could be too much of a midget fwd line as we do tend to bomb it in.Would be cool to see but I think Brayshaw will slot back into that low TOG role
Other than a third place finish in the Brownlow you mean?

Doubt that will happen. Goodwin gave him big raps after the game along the lines of he is a very smart footballer and will be with the club for a long time to come.
Sorry, but if we're canvassing Trade Viney as an option and not canvassing Trade Brayshaw, we're kidding ourselves.

I don't mind this.
We really only have 3 plausible choices here:
1. Play Viney forward
2. Trade Viney
3. Continue to play Brayshaw out of position
You can see why the coaching staff have gone the way they have - it's a very tough call.
Also, number 1 is a chance of causing number 2.
4. Trade Brayshaw

Should Melbourne be having a chat to Alister Clarkson with him open to the idea of Hawthorn making a big decision on his future. Could there be an option for us to get him at the end of the year.
Complete no brainer.
I'd put him on the list, while we're at it... He can't be worse than a few others.

Lol this is a joke. 3 interstate games in 6 rounds. One home game all year thus far.
And back to back interstate games.
We better get a dream MCG home game run in the lead to finals.This is just dumb luck
Freo are up there, we have to play them as we aren't going to travel to Perth, so they probably just figured get us up there and get it out of the way. I don't think there's much more to it than that.

The sooner I see the back of Simple Simon the better.
The most glaring flaw last year was the inability to convert due to rubbish disposals going inside 50. How can a team emerge from months of training without this issue being absolutely and utterly addressed? There was not a modicum of improvement in that area. That game was like watching round 25 of the 2019 season. I cannot stand our coach. I am sick to the gills of watching his lights on, nobody home, deer in headlights face. He talks absolute corporate-speak nonsense, and he sucks at his job. I can't invest emotionally in this club anymore until that low IQ turkey is gone and replaced by somebody who can walk and chew gum at the same time.
I don't think I've laughed harder all week.
Thank you!

Tommy is not a forward. I think we forget how good he was down back. I'd like to believe Jones hasn't lost it but I think he has. This should be his last season. He was terrible last year.
You've obviously got a short memory of the huge number of heart in mouth moments when Tommy was kicking the ball out of defence. Christ, please never again.

Ummm.............. he already does.
Gawn is a premier ruckman who plays on (and more often than not beats) the oppositions ruckman. However, he has shown on numerous occasions his ability in taking numerous contested pack marks in both the forward and back line. Uncontested marking is a cake-walk compared to the stuff Gawn does.
With the money Max is on, he should be doing it (and continually is). Subsequently so should Lever.
But if that's seriously the stupidest thing you've ever heard Undeeterred, then i am wasting my time even trying to justify it to you.
I could equally have said 'why don't you get Pickett to do it'. Same point being made.

I said Lever shouldn't be expected to play as a 1 on 1 key defender, in response to others saying he should be able to because he's paid a lot.
My point is that being paid a lot is completely irrelevant if it isn't what you're being paid to do.

You would be happy enough as the opposition with any of them excluding Hurley getting the ball as they are all average kicks and you're every chance of getting it right back.
I still would like to see Lever play on a decent opponent and beat them. It seems like as a result of having Lever in the team, we will also need Oscar so I will judge Lever quite harshly because of this. Had a couple of good patches in the pre season, however his skills are still average. I was also a bit critical of his judgement in the Hawthorn game, he went for chest marks on a couple of occasions and the balls got spoiled as a result.
Will be interested to see how our backline stacks up once we play a team with dangerous forwards, Round 1 will be a big test for Lever if he is trying to peel off Waterman and assist with Kennedy and Darling.
Why? It's not his job.

I find it interesting that Jack has become some sort of whipping boy. Others have suffered injuries and been given the luxury of not being questioned on everything they do on return. Jack had serious foot injuries, its going to impact. To call him a liability is just sensationalist to say the least.
Jack was never particularly quick. Jack was never an amazing kick. Jack is a competitor, he has a drive that others lack he is fierce at the contest. Leadership may not be his strong suit, but i saw him lead unbelievably in out 2 finals wins coming off little prep and game time. Let 's just let him play and watch him go. Our team is better with Jack Viney in it.
We've finally got rid of all the others. Except Oscy. We'll always have Oscy.

POSTGAME: Rd 14 vs St. Kilda
in Melbourne Demons
I can’t get over Trac’s last goal. That was insane.
