Random Task

Perhaps time for a 2025 edition with alleged MFC interest in out-of-favour Port key forward Ollie Lord and general player movement speculation begins early yet again.

Out: Jefferson (inj), T-Mac, Woewodin, Sharp, In: May, Johnson, Langford, Laurie T-Mac stays if Lever doesn't get up. FB: Bowey May Petty HB: Salem Lever Rivers C: Langdon Oliver Lindsay HF: Chandler Turner Sparrow FF: Fritsch JVR Spargo R: Gawn Petracca Langford I: Viney Johnson Henderson Howes S: Laurie The sooner Pickett, Windsor, McVee and Tholstrup can get back in the side the better.

Can't tell if I'm more disappointed in our team or myself for making Gawn my dream team captain.

Shame we don't have a first round pick this year.

I'd drop him on that non effort in the marking contest alone.

I haven't been closely following where he's been training with us this preseason but he played his best footy, by far, off the half back line last year.

Cheers mate, love your work.

Clean player with a good bit of agility and pace. Got caught out of position a bit on defensive transition but not unexpected for his first game. Deserves more opportunity but will face a bit of competition with Spargo and Tholstrup once they return from their respective injuries.

Are there stats readily available for the number of players we had in the 0-49 game, 50-99, 100-199, 200+ and comparison to the opposition?

No wonder Langford looked gassed in the final minutes. Bloke ran 22km in a quarter!

Poor Saints fans.

Hey mate, love your videos. A few requests that are no doubt already on the radar. Hunts 70+ metre torp (should have been GOTY) Daveys triple baulk vs Freo in the comeback game. Yzes banana from the wrong pocket T-macs kick over his head vs West Coast. Pretty much any goal by Gawn vs Geelong. Cheers mate.

My idea. Home club gets to choose the song the opposition runs out with. Cue the Benny Hill music. And when they come out the other side of the banner expecting a transition to their club song, Rick Astley pops up on the big screen.

This has the makings of a new super thread.

Big fan of the retro jumper.

Should be incorporated into our resilience training.

Probably a bit premature with a couple practice games still to come but I'll have a crack. FB: Bowey May Petty HB: Salem Lever Windsor C: Langdon Viney Billings HF: Chandler Turner Sparrow FF: Fritsch JvR Petracca R: Gawn Oliver Rivers I: Howes Langford Johnson Sharp Sub: Laurie E: Jefferson AMW Woewodin Next in line: T-mac, Hore, Lindsay, Brown, Henderson, Campbell, Adams, Fullarton, Sestan, Verrall, Mentha Sus: Pickett Injured/underdone: Tholstrup, McVee, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo, Kentfield Hoping Windsor gets up with his foot infection, has otherwise done the bulk of pre-season and should be good to go when healed. Wanted to squeeze T-mac but couldn't find a spot for him. Pickett, McVee, Tholstrup come into the 22 when able, Lindsay debut on the cards later in the year after a delayed start to pre-season. Opted for Johnson over Jefferson largely to help ruck relieve and take the burden off JvR. Hoping Jefferson can crack the team early. Henderson may surprise and take that pressure half forward/small fwd role to aid i50 pressure/retention.

I'm guessing he's still in WA and may not have formally put pen to paper just yet. I suspect we'll see an article in the coming days after he's come back to Melbourne and done the admin stuff at dees headquarters. Get him kitted out in a dees polo, 2min interview for socials etc...

If kozzie does go, I wonder if Murphy Reid could be part of the equation. Didn't look too thrilled to be selected by freo on draft night. Smooth moving midfielder who was metros MVP.

If you don't write a 10 page report with individual dossiers of players performance, highlights of the day, goodys gameplan and an up-to-date injury list... did you even really go to training?

Time to target one of their stars

This mystery F/S or academy player has me intrigued. First thought was perhaps Kynans younger brother Ryder might be getting a tour. Wouldn't have thought there would be need for secrecy though.

Sauce?
