Thats fine as long as he has to run 3k to win the footy

At Mcleans pace he is literally running on the spot.

Especially disappointing Rhino since from memory we had beaten West Coast in Perth just a few weeks before the end of the season. Gary Lyon pulled out before the game and the other players just didn't step up.

Absolutely my biggest regret in 50 years a Demon . Should have at least , AT LEAST played off in the Gf in 1990.Can't remember the details of Northey's departure don't recall there being a lot of angst.

Pure Gold!

When is the Australian phsyke going to finally mature enough to realise that you can actually follow/support both codes , it doesn't have to be this us against them mentality. Do yourself a favour and follow both sports, some of the hysterics you read both here and in the paper really are xenophobic

As usual you fudge the facts with your own bias, it is not the refusal to talk to other clubs that make it draft tampering, it is his connections putting it out there that he won,t play if he doesn,t get to the club of his choice that is the offence. Also wether we tanked or were merely experimenting , how the @#$$& would you know!

Is that Straunie with the blond hair?

If Ball gets to Collingwood something is indeed rotten in Denmark or should I say the AFL

Don't really care if we draft him or not, happy to leave that to the football department, however the issue I have with him is this. Either he or his manager is putting it out there that if not picked up by a prefered club he may pack his bags and have 12 months off. To my mind this is draft tampering

Blatant draft tampering, its about time the AFL did something on these issues

Am I reading you right in that Luke Ball has actually deigned to give MFC an audienced?

As already stated just a blatant rip off of The Rock

Somehow don't think the system would be designed to allow this to happen,just common sense that it wouldn't!

In short I guess I see him as a roaming forward in the style of Gary Buckenara who was a gun in very strong Hawthorn teams. Great leap , dangerous at ground level, multiple goal kicker and matchwinner but didn't have to play KP to be so.

Players who succeed in this position get double teamed, triple teamed, get their run at the ball blocked, have opposition players blocking the hole in front of them and the effect is they are forced to play a more physical style. Beezlebub is 100% correct

And at the moment he's match stick thin,no one doubts his ability its his physicality

If this is true we should completely withdraw our interest, how disrespectful, we should turn our interest to others

Whilst not wanting to tip a bucket on anyones enthusiasm for Jurrah & Watts is anyone else concerned about their physical size at the moment to play these key positions

Of course he is, how many big bodied forwards do we have?

Heard this too , apparently sticking point was length of contract, wanted 3 years was offered 2,but now they have agreed on 3, great news

Quite correct as someone else said on this site 'looks like he's running through cement", reckon our other strongly built mids, Moloney and Sylvia have gone past him.

Why has the topic of his transfer been locked?

Took them a long time though against a side that was fiddling with positions and kept taking off their main goal kicker for the game

Thats right Clint but as long as the arm was tucked in it used to be just a free kick, not a report!
