What

He has to be in the AA team. Dont give me this Elliott Yeo, Sam Docherty, Jeremy Howe bull [censored]. Hes better than all three of them.

His second half of the season will be a lot better than his first... hes built for the grind of the 22 games, plus finals (where we will of course be).

Would still like to see him tried forward, something about him tells me it would be a successful move. His brother cant play there thats for sure.

Out of all those highlights, nothing tops watching A Jakovich. Nothing. With a healthy body and mind he would have kicked 1000 career goals and been the first Demon top 100 in a season.

Upgrade is an understatement. Adelaide supporters talk Lever up as their next captain. He will be a perennial All australian. He is 195cm, and he will out body and outsmart any forward he pays on, whether they are 200cm or 190. If the MFC land him it will be party time.

The fact that 100 career goals is mythical to Demons fans shows how woeful the cub has been as far as individual accomplishments and career goal tallies. We have been around over 100 years, yet in five or so years from now both of the new clubs, GWS and GOld Coast, will each have a player (Cameron and Lynch) that will eclipse our leading goalkicker (Neitz). But its not just goals we are terrible at - Nathan Jones average of 28.05 disposals in 2016 was the highest season average in MFC history. Jack Vineys 26.1 in 2016 was the 4th highest in MFC history. These are embarasingly low numbers for club records. Why do we suck so badly statistically?

Glad they got #1 right. Eight goals in a prelim final is amazing... doubt it has been done since.

How about we get Goody, Hibberd and Melk to do some serious recruiting and get in Michael Hurleys ear. Talk about the perfect player to top off our potential premiership list. Problem is it would cost us something like our 1st rounder + Angus Brayshaw.

Another 6 votes from the coaches, currently in 5th place.

Surely he would be into double digit Brownlow votes after 10 rounds.

Can now see why Essendope fans were spewing when they lost him. Fingers crossed the kid they took with the pick we traded them is a dud.

LOL Jones ahead of Clarry.. laughable. Ones already a superstar who might win a Brownlow at 19, the other is the Swans version of ANB.

Averaging 29 disposals a game off half back. That is easily the highest average of any non-midfielder, and good for 16th best in the league.

He will be borderline untaggable, he is too brilliant inside. And too big. And a hard tag on him will just free up Viney, Jones, Lewis, Petracca, Tyson, Vince, Salem etc etc....

He is leading The Age player of the year award. Would love to know how hes doing in the awards for Herald Sun, MMM, 3AW, Sunday Footy show etc etc.

Last win vs the kangaroos - Round 20, 2006 The most embarrassing and frustrating hoodoo of them all. They are such a mediocre club and team and we haven't beat them in 11 seasons. It surely has to end this Sunday.

Yup, its too bad Gus Brayshaw is struggling with the concussion, no doubt hed have been a star too. Maybe he still will. Havent thought about the draft as the Dees are going well, but glad we are back in the first round this year and Jason Taylor can find us another young dynamo.

Supposedly Carlton are into Josh Schache too, anyone hear anything about that? Would be nice if just once we could poach one of these young stars instead of them always going to our rivals.

Along with the Oliver article, theres another article on the HeraldSun website comparing Christian Petracca to the greats of the game. I guess the lid is off.

Would love to see the vote leaderboard for The Age and Herald Sun player of the year awards, but cant find them on either horrible website.

As long as he stays on the park he will make a run at the Bluey, he is that good. Speaking of the BLuey, this will be the best count in a long, long time. Last years winner JV would have barely polled so far , while Oliver and Watts are surely leading.

Geez, imagine if we took Parish ahead of him and Oliver was dominating for Essendrug. Shudders......

Oh it will happen soon enough. Nothing is surer.

Forgot all about him. Didnt know he was playing as ruck. Must be a smokey to debut this week... though he is just 194 cms, we may as well just go with Pedders in the ruck.

31.4 disposals and 7.8 tackles per game... 19 years old. Incredible. Gonna be a very interesting Brownlow night.
