McVee BOG imo

Windsor is an absolute beauty Apparently fine holding both of Maxs arms in ruck contests 😒

Wow they get a lot of time to get rid of it

David Wojcinski

Yep - so we have all the motivation we need to win imo

Good thing none of our starting 22 are over 70 😂

Hard to believe there’d be any breeding going on amongst that lot

I’m not whinging just stating the obvious - the deal we got for LJ was not “the best value ever” - simple was it all that was on the table - maybe - but best value ever is laughable - in value terms we are miles behind on that trade atm

Congratulations Jack hugely underrated by most footy fans other than those wearing red and blue Every supporter is proud of the way you go about it. Ferocious at the contest and 100% effort for 100% game time Keep up the great work and hopefully another cup waits for you next time at the MCG

lol we would be clear premiership favourites with LJ in the team atm - as a forward he would be very very handy and as a ruck he would be very very handy We are one Max Gawn injury away from being in deep p00p

Looks more like BBB to me Even if it was Jefferson he looks light years away from being a KF at VFL much less AFL level imo

I think reading between the lines the farm is being offered to Petty not the MFC This could be similar or worse than the LJ fiasco - the compensation in that case was well under market imo and as time moves on it looks even worse. Players that can have a significant impact on the outcome of individual games are as rare as hens teeth - LJ is unquestionably in that category now and will become more valuable in time. For us Petty is close to that because he is our most versatile tall (the main question mark on him would be capacity to stay on the park consistently) I’m still hopeful he decides to stick with us but if he is determined to leave get ready for us to to very disappointed with the compensation

Cheap “and useless as t1ts on a bull” there fixed it for you

Sounds like Horne-Francis will miss so that helps

I don’t see playing the kid in the backline as his biggest problem There have been plenty of guys who have spent time in defence as part of their education before becoming AFL forwards - in our own club we’ve had several Neitz and Petty being recent examples He has a very long steep hill to climb imo before he is even close to playing AFL

I really hope you’re right Redleg - Kolt I can see it with Jefferson I just can’t despite wanting him to succeed

Maybe but reckon JVR will always be a better back up ruck than Fullarton - he’s much more aggressive and physical Imo if Fullarton is going to make it as a an AFL footballer it has to be as a KPF - over to you Tom

I’m pleasantly surprised how well Howes is going at AFL level because I’ll admit I had my doubts that he had the requisite intensity to play at that level This week Casey were blown away in the first 15 mins and then spent the remainder of the match killing any chance of of a comeback through shocking skill errors and costly turnovers I was quite impressed by Tholstrup who did some nice things and showed that he was fine competing against stronger more mature bodies - a couple of time he probably did the team things when arguably he could of achieved a better outcome by being a bit more selfish - he has the right attitude though of the others Tommo - was playing in a backline that was under siege for most of the day and was not helped by some terrible turnovers - he was guilty of a couple of these himself mind you. Serviceable game I think but not screaming pick me imo Adams - I’d like to be seeing more but he reminds me of a very green Petty so hopefully he keeps improving during the year - he has the tools to be ok Jefferson - I’m really not convinced and I can see a lot of Schache and Weed in Matt - his first efforts are passable - his second efforts are non existent. Yes he is young and yes some talks take longer but there are also some that just don’t have what it takes. Hope I’m wrong but he looks like he is going to struggle Woey- ok but struggled a bit with disposal. Still think he will be useful as a an AFL player the question is whether or not he is a best 22 player Fullarton - like KFW he was monstered in the ruck by Meek who is a very big boy. I think there is a reason he spent his last year at Brisbane VFL team as a forward predominantly - rucking against taller and heavier opponents is tough for him and let’s face it at AFL level that is going to be the norm. We would be better off playing him as a KPF and trying to get him good at that - next season he may be one of our only options for that position Laurie - he has ability but his lack of consistency is a bit disappointing. Does some good things and then either goes missing or makes silly mistakes. Still can make it imo AMW - feels like he would perform better with more talent around him - not sure where he would get a game at AFL level though - HFF possibly- but replacing who? Schache - looks ok at VFL but still really doesn’t impose himself enough given his size - I would be surprised if he kept his place on the list next year

Both he and Adams are a serious concern at this stage - really should be showing more

No

With injuries to May and Lever there are openings for Tommo or maybe Adams ? Haven’t seen much of Jed this year and thought he was a fair way off last season but will be interesting to see if he can put his hand up

Anyone hazard a guess at the scoreline if Mr kicker didn’t get off?

This week it’s The poos and wees last week it was the scraggers next week it’s the drop kicks from port hmmm a pattern emerging 😀

No doubt in my mind that’s what is going on

Agree - I said the same a while back. The way he handballs (particularly off the left side) you would swear he is a clone of the great man. Will he reach the same heights? We can all dream. He has a bright future ahead given he appears to have a good head on his shoulders and seemingly a great work ethic.
