  1. Roos is consistent with Tomlinson. When he was on the market early in his career we were not interested. Obviously Roos didn't/doesn't rate him. I agree with Roos, he's not what we need, yes we need outside run & he's a nice enough player but he doesn't make an impact. The best game I've seen Tomlinson play was at CHB against Dawes...hardly a ringing endorsement. I really hope we have Langdon tied up.
  2. He's a player without a real position. A failed forward made ruck who the Cats don't trust in the role. In a team crying out for assistance for Hawkins, you don't think the Cat's would use him forward if they thought he might be any good there...
  3. 177cm hardly makes him tall, would call that short by AFL standards unless he's had a sudden growth spurt.
  4. rjay replied to John Demonic's topic in Melbourne Demons
    Any relation to Wayne Kerr 'Ethan'?
  5. I wouldn't guarantee it...GWS are a talanted unit if they get it together & C/wood injuries might bring them undone...
  6. Why? We've got enough players who can't find a position and can't find the ball. Why get another one?
  7. I find Jennings to be very driven but also very uninspiring. He's doing all in his power to make it as a senior coach even to the extent of taking on a PR person which I find a bit odd. I personally don't think he will make it based on what I have heard from him.
  8. I would be having Fritsch play that role. Much better player. The only similarity Tomlinson has to Lynch is his aerobic capacity.
  9. Nic Nat was brilliant last night and set the tone for the game. Don't underestimate what he brought to the game, the numbers don't always tell the story.
  10. Not only his kicking 'Ethan', he doesn't mind the odd short step on tonights performance... Looks good running free with ball in hand though.
  11. Fagan was long gone by this time. Ah...I thought that face was familiar...West was a star & Max is.
  12. This sort of stuff usually comes from people who put a bit of money in the club and like to feel that puts them on the inside, it can also be from disgruntled board members. Players connections can also get in on the odd Chinese whisper. It would be very unlikely to come from anyone in the FD...
  13. Who was the other one???
  14. He's been dropped because he's not good enough. We were never interested in Tomlinson in the past for good reason. He's wasn't what we needed and you know what, he's still not what we need. He's a vanilla footballer who doesn't find enough of the ball...nice athlete, average footballer. I sure hope we have more than Tomlinson (I hope we don't have him at all) up our sleeves otherwise we're f....,
  15. He's already said we got it wrong....by saying that he's saying a lot more than we just had a bad year. Let's see if we can now get it right in 2020. Admitting we made mistakes is a good first step, it's not accepting 2019 as just a "Bad Year"...
  16. ...much better player than Col though 'Wrecker'. Already putting more consistent performances on the board.
  17. The only romance (football wise) I'm interested in is us winning a flag 'Mel'...the rest holds little interest.
  18. There we go...classic. The Pareto Princliple, what a croc that one is. It gets wheeled out and quoted by every crack pot motivational speaker to back up a point it bares no relevance too.
  19. You know, we all have different opinions but I thought he was boring and told us nothing an engaged football person on this site wouldn't have known. A lot of the stuff he said sounded like it came from self help books and seminars, a lot of nice words and catch phrases but no scientific evidence to back them up. Came up with some nice new labels for game styles though.
  20. Totally different player and nothing like Silvia, Trac is a very good AFL player now. He doesn't need the big breakout year. Your bias is blinding you 'Matsuo'.
  21. As a defensive forward, not a mid. He's not proven at any senior level as a mid so shouldn't be brought into the conversation yet...
  22. You would have to take Sparrow and VB out of that list. Sparrow hasn't even bedded himself down as a VFL level mid yet and VB can't get on the park...
  23. Sounds like it's the Saints or Dogs to me...
  24. Someone has mentioned it 'Wise'...
  25. Played a pretty decent defensive role last game...maybe you weren't watching.
