  1. Ummm...I'm not sure where you come to this conclusion. Of course he does.
  2. Seems to spend a lot of time injured. Ideal for EFC...replacement in rehab for Joe.
  3. he's not saying that...it was a proposition I posted. What if Cerra wanted to return to Melbourne? There has been discussion in the past, would we give up Brayshaw as part of the deal. Would we look at another club that wants what we have to get what we need. Say Carlton or EFC...
  4. Roos - A costly failure
  5. He's running the VFL now I think, looking at a management side of football rather than coaching. ...but wouldn't mind trying to get him to take over the FD and succession plan for Pert's job. He doesn't BS and can judge a list...North should have listened to him.
  6. Langdon - Played wrong side...(side of the ground in the first Q)
  7. Clarkson...
  8. I was a big wrap for him as a junior. Certainly worth a look. Depends...they have needs and he's only fringe for them and being played out of position.
  9. It's one part personnel and another part coaching I reckon 'Earl'... I've been avoiding this one for a while but I think it's becoming apparent we need to lose one of Brayshaw or Viney. My preference would be to lose Viney but I'm not sure of the value there as he's a free agent. Let's say we could trade Brayshaw for Cerra, would that be a good move?
  10. Ok, this is a load of bollocks. A lot of games for us this year have been so called line in the sand games. We've won more of them, Hawthorn (they were still a threat when we played them), Collingwood, St Kilda, Adelaide (I know, but how many expected we would be the ones to lose this one...well done Hawthorn) for example...than we've lost. Sydney is the only gimme we've lost this year. The big issue we have is no depth on our list and not enough spread of talent across the ground. When we have to run out with the likes of Smith, Spargo, Omac, Melksham, Tommy Mac, Jones, Hannan, ANB, AVB, Lockhart etc.. then we are going to get mixed results. It means too much is left to too few and those too few get tired of carrying the load. The secondary issue is with the FD and selection of the team. I don't think they've used the limited resources very well. I think probably a bigger issue is their building of the list.
  11. Well there you go...I think Jobe is dreadful, states the obvious time and again. Adds nothing. The eye of the beholder.
  12. Yep, as I said earlier... Dimwit...a poor impersonation of someone in charge.
  13. It's what happens when the club leaves the adults at home...and the kids in charge.
  14. He worked his a... off all night covering for his teammates who didn't show. The 3rd Q it looked like the Swans v Langdon, the kid tried to get us back in the game but had to carry way too many.
  15. We missed Pickett...needed his point of difference, forward pressure & work rate.
  16. Who cares...
  17. If he passes the no DH policy which may be an issue... Then he is what we need.
  18. Why would he make them walk taller??? ...hardly the enforcer type.
  19. He would be way too smart for Smith 'bin'... I guess Lockhart gets the task as we don't really have anyone else unless May does the job.
  20. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-2020-nakia-cockatoo-geelong-injury-patrick-dangerfield-says-he-will-be-biggest-difference/news-story/8cfa510aeb9cf87ce856319d093e0018
  21. If he passes his medical and can physically do what he has before. Very definite yes...
  22. Langdon - love this guy MFC - get another Langdon
  23. I want him, just saying we should have gone after him when he was more gettable and not as expensive. He will be harder to get out of the Tiges now and more clubs would be interested if he was on the move.
  24. I thought (and said so at the time) that we should have looked at him 2 years back when he wasn't getting a regular game. He looked to have the potential then. I reckon that train has now left the station...he would be hard to move out.
  25. When Andy Maher said there was a rumour about a player in one of the weekend teams.... Well, why did I know it was a Melbourne player. It's a team game and I'm guessing they're all staying together. I feel like dropping the team. Surely someone could sort this out.
