I think he has reasonable grounds to not rate us After looking the goods late in 2018 the MFC has fallen back into its comfort zone of MEDIOCRITY Why would anyone trust or rate the club after the inconsistent effort of results of the last two seasons Plus some players that were expected to improve haven't - others that were performing well then have regressed horribly He is calling us out on what he says - a very average team delivering very average results Time for the boys to prove that his 2018 assessment was right

Needs one of these

Good pick up for Geelong - Higgins can play If they bring in Cameron they will be in good shape for another tilt Bloody annoying

The comparison with Cameron is interesting however I'm confident that pretty much every single MFC supporter would pick Cameron over Brown in a head to head For the same reason Cameron' s value is far greater I still have doubts about Browns injury, his head space, his ability to apply pressure inside 50 when he doesn't have the ball, his significant reliance on umpires to gift him free kicks .................... 2 x second round picks is overs IMO

Has most if not all the tools - self belief and genuine aggression are the two factors that I worry about with Weid Has shown ability in brief cameos but really should be starting to impose himself on games from next year onwards coming out of contract and looking for a decent payday might just be the spur he needs

GWS will have plenty of early picks if the Cameron deals goes through can’t use them all so that pick has less value to them than us sensible trade all round id say hope Brandon does ok and gets a fair go but just stinks it up against us ?

And yet they played finals and we didn’t - hmm something doesn’t quite add

Last time I checked you can never have too many good AFL quality players - trading them away is not the answer - teaching them how to work cohesively and as a collective weapon is - its the coaching that needs a big kick

someone got bored just sitting around with nothing happening in all seriousness - NFI why they would consider another St Kilda reject - don't see much appeal with Hind prefer to offer Hannan 3 years tbh

This is not a sound strategy If Max goes down we start to lose all structure and rob players from their best positions IMO - Jackson and Bradke not ready to take first ruck yet and Weed / TMac / Brown not good options

Statistically not much difference between him and big Brayden - puts us back into having a bona fide back up to Max as a big bodied ruck I too would prefer him over McKernan who is a plodder This guy is an honest toiler from the little sample I've seen

Mitch is now worth more in the market than Jesse Hogan - wow how things change I rate Mitch and like him as a player - seems to have all the skills and physical characteristics to be a very good footballer but sadly never seems to get the ball enough and contribute consistently. Hence can see why a long term deal is difficult for the club - obviously WB's see things differently Hopefully letting him go doesn't turn into another Jeremy Howe :(

NO

Not sure he would walk into our team - he’s not replacing Langdon and not convinced he’s an upgrade on others that could play the other wing (Harmes, Salem, maybe even Baker who I’d say is quicker)

Has played 11 games total - some patience and realism necessary here I think I think he has potential but thinking he is going to be a dominant CHB any time soon is unrealistic - he will be doing extremely well if he manages to get selected each week he is available in 2021

Welcome to the board Charlie and good luck with that prediction :)

He looks to be at the crossroads of his career

What I mean is that Freo would have done a medical on Jesse Hogan. That process would not have identified other issues that may (or may not) be the reason why they now want to move him on after being so desperate to get him back to Perth I'm a JH fan and really hope he sorts his life out and can carve a successful career in the AFL but I worry that is not going to happen - and its not because his body is not capable of playing the game or passing a medical test If Sideshow Bob is physically up to the rigors of the AFL then I still wonder why his current club (who are struggling for survival) would be desperate to see him out the door Hence my concern Brown is maybe NQR

Like the one Freo did on JH ?

The question for me is why a busted arz team would want to see the back of him - something tells me I am missing something Maybe Sideshow is NQR

Maybe - or just smart. He was barely able to lift his left arm If I was Hardwick I'd very happy to see him out there after the injury - if he was off the ground sure they would be down on rotations but I still believe it worked to Richmond's advantage him staying on the ground A very disappointing end for him and Geelong

To be honest they didn't really need to attack Ablett after he returned to the field - he was visibly very sore and more of a liability than a threat - I suspect if it wasn't his last hurrah he would not have returned to the field

lost your sense of humor I see

Shame that's all we seem capable of winning

My concerns remain the ridiculous and painful runup when kicking for goal the ridiculous hair the ridiculous staging for free kicks (with some considerable success I might add) I accept none of these are reasons to not embrace him but its not easy Our forward line is rubbish and has been for some time - Weid IMO still has a very long way to go and TMac seems destined for somewhere else sadly. Jackson could be good in years to come but will need time to mature
