spirit of norm smith

Great pickup for virtually nothing. Nominated our club and got us up to the preliminary in 2018. Great bloke on and off the field. Leadership and good footy brain. A true champion. Media. Coaching. Relaxing. Whatever 2020 brings, he has had a great career. Hope he remembers his last few years with the Dees and might be back one day.

Resuming transmission on planet earth.

Omg Rawlings should be on the train out to Ringwood. One of the failed posse from the mid year mixup.

It’s Viney to retain the captaincy in his own right. Lots of other issues to worry about.

Unbelievable. Watched it last night and again this morning. The ball bounced and neither he nor Joel Wilson the third umpire had the guts to call it. Unbelievable. That umpire Wilson had a shocker of a first test with 7-8 bad overturned decisions. Should never umpire again.

I agree. Don’t know why the haters have delivered the mob view on Viney. Jack to be appointed as sole captain. Gawn and Brayshaw as vice captains Lever and Tmcd in leadership group. Not sure on May. He has the leadership on field but needs to have a Top year off field next year. He is one to watch.

Saints apparently into him in a big way. Probably likely to move.

Langdon is a must GET option this trade period

MFC. 2013 - 2 wins 54%. Nil priority picks (7 years out of finals) 2014 - 4 wins. 68%. Nil priority picks. (8 years out of finals) Suns 2018. - 4 wins. 64% 3 priority VFL picks. Collins Corbett Burgess All played in 2019 40 games between them. 2019 - 3 wins. 62%. Priority. ???? Wow - Suns were given 12 of first 18’picks in 2011 draft plus 10 priority youngsters. Plus an extra salary $$$ cap. They have blown it. MFC got no sympathy in terms of priority picks for the 2013 and 2014 years because we had “made our own mistakes” my eye sight is fine btw

Gill always will provide favours to GWS and Suns. They are AFL born children.

Port now tackling. It’s the key to stopping the clearances and run

I would pick Anderson first. Big upside and his style and run makes him the AFL prototype But Rowell is ready to go in the midfield from round 1 2020. Suns may go for Rowell as a young leader. Great player. Selwood mould.

Wake up Goodwin Kangas destroying Power How??? Ben Brown is no rocket scientist but his halftime convo with Richo gave us the 3 answers 1- Goldy is winning the ball out of the middle 2- we are linking up runners with 2 or 3 runners and then a kick THOROUGH THE CORRIDOR (hello simpletons) 3- forwards have space AS THE BALL IS COMING IN QUICK (Power also kicking to Tarrant and Thompson - see point 8 of what not to do) Goodwin. Listen now.

Get Langdon. But don’t let the coaches talk to him. They will kill his run.

Anderson. Rowell. Ash. Top 3 for sure.

BROWN STAYS AT KANGAS. SHUT THE THREAD. WE HAD OUR CHANCE WHEN HE WAS AN 18 YEAR OLD.

Both Anderson and Rowell. We need a Anderson or Ash type of skilled mid to run and deliver. Anderson is like Dayne Beams/Mitch Duncan type as he can accumulate in the midfield and also score goals. Rowell is the Joel Selwood type which is great but probably not critical for us. Ash is your fast effective wing or ruck rover. He could be exactly what we need and ready to go. Have to hope Goodwin doesn’t restrain his burst of pace and go negative. Think of a younger bigger Kade Simpson who likes to run

Langdon for 2nd round 2019 (circa #21) and swap of 1st rounders in 2020 with Freo. Outside run on the wing GET HIM IN Schoenmakers 25yo who can be picked up as a free agent - 3rd tall or backup for Weid - Good Eye for the goals (we need goal kickers) #2-3 Ash -18yo instantly walks into wing opposite Langdon ; big call needed if Rowell was available #39 Bergman - 18yo classy youngster from the Dragons Suits our need to get skilled footballers in # 57 - Brodie Newman 18yo super talent doesn’t get all the recognition like an Easton Wood type Competitive skilled wins the footy 192cm Allows Salem into a roll in mid if needed # 75- will Fordham 23yo (Frankston VFL) classy skilled midfielder who runs and accumulates OR Matthew Allen - eagles listed but stars everyweek in wafl (wasted) upgrade to the list.

Three words. Show some heart.

Watching the cats. They play my 10 point plan. Quick ball movement. Holding guys like Andrews, Adams, Hodge accountable in the back half

Salem had a good first 1/2 of 2019 BUT now either turnovers the footy or does a 15 metre chip wide or to no one should be hitting targets with 40 metre clearances poor 2nd half and has been either injured or lost all chance confidence

Spargo plays like a grade 6 - 12 year old- type. Kicks go about 20 metres often resulting in turnovers. Give me an indigenous small forward x-factor type. Not a turnover tiny ineffective type.

Voss!!
