Dunn or Spencer for Dawes has merit particularly with a bye in the VFL. I think Spencer may surprise some both up forward and with his ruck work and Gawn also knows where the goals are.
Seems like our two stars today (Hunt and Watts) and our disappointment (Dawes) all graduated from the Robert Shaw / BGS Football Academy. (Salem is our other Academy graduate.)
Nice to see both Lumumba and Weideman named back in the side.
Ironic that the free-to-air televised game is from such a convenient watching venue as Punt Road Oval, on the week that I am overseas. (No sports bars in remote Sri Lanka.) Ce la vie!
Go Scorpions!
I would be surprised if any of the above didn't re-sign. Watts, Hogan and Kent work well together in the Forwardline and Watts has claimed that he wishes to continue. Mac, I am sure also wants to continue, especially if his brother is part of MFC's FD's long-range plan.
Why do I have to log on from a third world country and be "entertained" by this banter? Can't you guys revert to the topic of the post and open up a new post where you can snipe away at each other?
It was not trying to dilute our benefit, I was just wondering why we had to get rid of Toumpas for zilch to a team that was genuinely interested in him? Collingwood would have done a straight swap for Howe (even in hindsight)!
Bb I fear it is not as simple as Howe for Benken. We moved Toumpas (a number 4 pick) to the Power in the same round-robin of picks so what was the advantage of that (except to Collingwood)? I cannot recall what else we got for Toumpas if somebody could enlighten me?
