  1. Okay he missed that tackle on Cunnington but seriously "massive" liability - I don't see it.
  2. Well 15 disposals, 5 marks 4 tackles, 2 clearances and 315 metres gained is a fair afternoons work.
  3. I'm putting this up because I thought Baker was allright today. Helped out in defence and attack yet lots of posters are calling for him to be dropped. He was better than a number of senior players. Has been in good form at Casey & should be rewarded with some consecutive games.
  4. Am I the only one that thought Baker was ok today. I'd give him a block of 3 or 4 games.
  5. You could just say "sorry, my mistake I got it wrong Pickett is a gun". And why do you pretend that the Kelly trade was for Tyson without mentioning Salem. Both trades are big wins for us.
  6. Whether you trade or recruit directly its still part of recruiting. We received pick 23(Bernie Vince) as compensation so you could argue that technically it was a trade. The point is Freo stuffed up again.
  7. Yes Freo have been absolute shockers & probably cost themselves a flag. Their misses included Matty Lloyd, Scott Lucas, Jeff Farmer, Andrew Mcleod, Peter Bell. They also stuffed up with Croad, Sylvia, Bennell & Hogan.
  8. Well it can join the long list of MFC rewritten history along with the departures of Alves & Jolly and the Henry Coles & Shane Zantuck altercations.
  9. Pushed - You have got to be kidding. You must be the only Demonlander believing that. Any evidence to back your claim ?
  10. Yes the 5 year deal for an average player who had 1 really good year was crazy. Collingwood showed what happens when you overpay players.
  11. Agree - we badly needed some more run last year. Given the lockdown it was a very difficult year for marginal players trying to show their wares. Sadly for Dunkley it was also a bad year to get injured.
  12. Completely different scenario. Dunkley was 18 or 19 and was worth a punt - it didn't work out. I've watched Mitch White in maybe 20 games at Casey & he is a good honest VFL standard battler.
  13. Consider yourself howled down. A very silly idea.
  14. Ridiculous suggestion. He is a good ordinary VFL player but a fair way off AFL standard. If Josh Wagner was B Grade then Mitch is C+.
  15. Interesting. So at which Club exactly did Williams coach Goodwin ?
  16. Pack a warm sleeping bag, one man tent & air mattress & camp at Uluru - its cheap & great atmosphere. Alice is easy to walk around & u will find plenty of art galleries. Not many flies at that time of year.
  17. This is speculative nonsense - what is a father/son academy anyway and who has one ??? Pretty sure Joel chased a basketball career early on and wasn't interested in football. And who is Bill Laurie anyway ?
  18. You sound like a politician. You said they traded Tyson for Ben Brown & you were wrong.
  19. I've watched Baker closely the last 2 games & have been impressed. Reckon he is ready to go. In any other year he would b in the firsts.
  20. Yes he has - go and listen to them again - its hard to hear the reporters' questions. In fact in one presser he replies that he will not go into the backline ever and in another he says he will not go to the wing.
  21. Wrong - Tyson was traded for Brayden Preuss. Brown was traded for a 2nd round pick.
  22. Goodwin has made it clear at his pressers that Tom M is playing great footy up forward & is NOT going to a wing.
  23. You are correct - he has effectively been on the list 1 year. I reckon he needs to show something by the end of the year to get renewed.
  24. Pretty sure it was a common occurrence in bygone days. Mark Jackson had a season with Richmond ressies, topped the goalkicking in the comp but couldn't get a senior game. Same with Allen Jackovich early at Melb & I recall a Dees reserves player called Louis Tesoriero in the 70's kicking a swag but not getting a senior game.
  25. The problem is that the coach just LURVES ANB & Melksham & they both get treated better than some of the other players.
