    POST MATCH DISCUSSION

    Are you kidding? Just checking, were you there? I didn't see enough of him in the quarter or two he played to make any judgement. I am open to constructive criticism of his game.

    I was there, pretty sure he came on in the second. Got 4 kicks, butchered two.

    He was pretty hard up for opportunity, his defender was bigger, and there were no big targets for him to crumb for.

    He can be an effective player, but needs real targets up forward.

    When I read your username, I think of an effeminate Brazilian man with a fetish for scat porno.

    Read in a thick Brazilian accent: "Hello I am Raul, and I would like to show you my poos, mano."

    You've got me all figured out. Want to see my poo?

    Would LOVE chappy, our players would learn so much from him, but if he leaves I would expect he would go flag chasing

    The guy has 3.

    We would need Roos to sell him on leaving a legacy by helping to resurrect a near dead club.

    This guy doesn't have a loyal bone in his body. I have great concerns about bringing a guy to the Dees, after everything Richmond did for him, and put up with from him, is thinking about leaving for a bit of extra cash.

    He is a bomb waiting to explode, and could end up as the leagues new Ben Cousins or Brendan Fevola. Not what our club really needs at this point.

    ...however, he is just about past that immature age, and the next two or three years will have a big impact on his character for the rest of his life. If Paul Roos and his eventual successor believe that they can turn this kid into a gun midfielder, a loyal Melbourne man and a respectable human being, I'd be willing to back them in on this one.

    Yes for me if it's a yes for Roos.

    He was just on Footy Classified. Geelong may not be giving him another contract.

    Pros:

    Hard as f***

    Still racking up touches

    Wins the ball

    Finals and premiership player

    Practically free pickup if hes a free agent

    Cons:

    He's 31

    Rodan didnt work out

    May not have the passion to play elsewhere

    Spends great slabs of time injured. (Tony Tea)

    The Darwin Effect

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    Here is what's happened after each Darwin game.

    2013 - 122 point loss to North Melbourne. 40 scoring shots to 8. Disposals: 439-290. Inside 50s: 66-30

    2012 - 54 point loss to North Melbourne. 32 scoring shots to 18. Disposals: 429-337. Inside 50s: 62-37.

    2011 - 54 point loss to Hawthorn. 32 scoring shots to 18. Disposals: 409-298. Inside 50s: 59-39.

    2010 - 54 point loss to Geelong. 31 scoring shots to 17. Disposals: 434-328. Inside 50s: 57-37.

    Aside from the amazing coincidence of three consecutive 54 point margins, each year we've been uncompetitive, unable to get the ball.

    We need the money, but is Darwin worth it?

    2010 - Melbourne's average losing margin was 27.8 over 13 losses. Losing by 54 points to the team that finished second that year doesn't really show "The Darwin effect" you're referring to.

    2011 - Average losing margin of 56.8 over 13 losses. We lost to a team that finished third on the ladder and did better than our average losing margin. Nothing to see here.

    2012 - Average losing margin of 50 points over 17 losses. We lost to North who finished 8th, ie slightly better than average. Losing by slightly more than our average losing margin would be expected.

    This is a rubbish thread.
