Straight Sets Simon

Roos was terrible on AFL 360.

I really hate these predictions.

I feel like the beer to curry ratio is too high.

I enjoyed the bit about Hogan, I don't know if it's the media doing or if all in my head but sometimes I feel like that Hogan is bigger than the team. Just a subtle reminder that he's still part of this club and very much the product of our development of him.

Updated team: FB: Jetta Dunn Garland HB: Bugg McDonald Salem C: Harmes Viney Brayshaw HF: Watts Pedersen vandenBerg FF: Garlett Hogan Kent Foll: Gawn N. Jones Vince Int: Oliver Tyson Frost Kennedy Emer: Grimes Stretch Lumumba I would be very disappointed if Harmes misses out.

I was going to write the exact same thing.

The worst thing about it is that it is all for an ad.

Imagine if he played on Jack Watts.

You're confusing Petracca with Toumpas.

No mention of Liam Jurrah was a surprise. I feel a bit for Flanagan because he had so much belief in Melbourne and the people there around five or six years ago which just turned to mush. A good read, the line about Neeld made me laugh.

Terrible thread, great photo.

What a rubbish post.

It's not up to the club, licensing seldom works that way.

Why is it poor from Melbourne? Licensees want figurines that will sell, those teams will sell.

I love the confidence, but it saddens me that Hogan doesn't seem to appreciate how good Schwarz was.

He's been caught taking Meldonium.

Thank you. I just love how at all times Oliver was on the move, it was just so instinctive.

I know.

Brayshaw was fantastic (plus he did it at AFL and not NAB Challenge level), but Oliver's impact thus far as a first year player has been better.

No chance, I've not seen a draftee at Melbourne come in and have such an immediate impact like Oliver has had.

Harmes should be a lock for round 1, Lumumba shouldn't be.

Does this mean McDonald plays on Patton now?

Pedersen has only been fined. I still dispute that he made contact to the head, but it's a good result for us.

Can someone please make a GIF of his handpass to Salem in the back pocket? That was ridiculous.

If he can start turning those three goal games into four or five goal games he will be a genuine star. The thing that about him that doesn't get any credit is his bodywork in marking contests. For such a small guy his ability to hold an opponent under the ball so that he can then run into an open goal is pure class.
