Straight Sets Simon

Fun fact, he is actually a Melbourne supporter.

I agree, but that’s his role and he’d know that. Good teams have systems where a player can step in and play a role when needed without being first-choice player.

Toss of a coin, my concern with BBB is if his knee is able to hold up but he does have more runs on the board.

I’m going BBB over Weideman at this stage. I do see room for them both at some stage.

Watching On the Couch, they are talking about how the Bulldogs have three key forwards and how it causes headaches for opposition teams. Imagine the headache we can cause with Weideman, BBB, McDonald, Fritsch and Gawn/Jackson.

I’ve not missed banners.

With all of his media gigs he must be on some serious coin. It certainly test the notion of people being employed on merit.

Hopefully he has a bit of toe.

He deserves all the success in the world, what a legend and the true definition of underrated.

I worry about Viney’s foot, he lacked his usual explosiveness to me.

He’s the most dominant and influential Melbourne player I’ve seen in my lifetime (30 odd years of watching football).

I wouldn’t equate “played his role” to the compete dominance of Gawn, that’s the point.

As good as Gawn who played one of the best of his career?

Need any proof that AFL Player Ratings are rubbish?

To be honest, we don’t get all that much crumbing at the moment without lots of talls so would prefer to at least try it. Jackson can go forward too (needs to clunk his marks) again what a huge headache for opposition defenders.

6. Gawn 5. Langdon 4. Lever 3. McDonald 2. Hibberd 1. Pickett

Mentioned in another thread but I’d play all of BBB, Weideman, McDonald and Fritsch when fit. McDonald to play up the ground more. It would be the ultimate dilemma for opposition defenders.

I trust that we now have stars to pick us up where the team isn’t performing.

Or a flank in the Melksham role.

Or a flank in the Melksham role.

I’d happily play B. Brown, Weideman, McDonald and Fritsch together.

We need to appreciate being able to see him play each week.

Got there in the end!

We need the next three to seal this.

Why is Jordon even going for that? What a horrible tackle by Petracca.
