Agree with most of the points made here. In fact the only reason I can see not to seriously consider him is if his attitude is questionable. PS How many players do people think actually kick 50 goals in a season ?

Who do you think would kick more goals if played forward all year Hale or Anthony?

I would think he's a bit bigger physically than all of those players

Spencer was early 90's and cost us Earl Spalding. For some strange reason Northey kept picking him ahead of Spalding for chf . Absolute dud!

Pickett talking about his 1st season not the second. Crosswell was at the end of his career and required to play at chf in a side that was bottom. Thought he worked pretty hard most weeks

Byron Pickett - nothing wrong with his first season at all. Crosswell harsh call Rhino

Dawes

Anyone who can kick 8 goals in an AFL game is infinitely better than Newton

The thing is if they are refusing that offer then we would have to better it to get him. No thank you !

Why not give him 1 year with an option for another if he finishes top 10 b&f ?

If North baulked at that offer they can keep him !

Two points. How many Kangaroos games do Melbourne supporters actually watch? Surely the football department have done their research on this player. I'm happy to leave it up to them.

Ditto with licence to roam wherever he wants. However he will never be a power forward, just look at his build.

Funny that I seem to remember several articles in the first half of the year that Jolley was hardley getting a touch \.The side is picked on the whole years performance isn't it?

I believe the performance yesterday indicates a side that although has great potential and has made steady improvement is still quite immature. And lets face it as far as on field leadership goes its pretty thin on the ground. Need to improve these areas also more goals from a forward line that regularly only scores 11 - 12 goals

N0 1990 we were a big chance but stuffed up badly

Ah no the thing that stood out to me was the amount of times Hawk players were allowed to take front position at stoppages giving them first grab at the footy. Lost count the amount of times I yelled out to get in front.

No unfortunately I don't perhaps Watts will upsize to that sort of player or we may get lucky with recruiting.However I fear that until we can include a bigger player in our forward structure it will hold us back

What do you mean by "cover" I'm talking about a player who deserves a spot in the side.If we don't get one watch while we lose games we should win, therefore retarding our developement.

You can remind me of this down the track. If we don't get a strong big forward who is capable (doesn't have to be a superstar ) it will retard our developement

Absolute priority a big strong capable forward please!!!!!!!!!!!

Might be a good idea for our mid fielders to stand between their opponent and the ball rather than behind them. Happened at nearly every stoppage today

Yes your spot on here refer my last post re my opinion on the matter

Thats my point here AA positions should go to the best player in each position otherwise you might as well pick 22 midfielders and just allocate them positions!

Time on his side WTF? Surely AA selection is for the current years performance. He may do a knee next year and never play again.If he doesn't get a guernsey this year they have no clue. Its like when they place a midfielder in another position because they can't fit him in the midfield.
