This season is toast There is only one option now.....T.A.N.K In my opinion, we should try to be competitive so in that case; Senior players who remain regardless of form. Watson, Goddard, Fletcher. Hurley. Hooker, Hibberd, Baguely, Hocking, Myers, Heppell; Colyer Senior Players who need to earn th...

Yep.

Just when you thought you couldn't lose on the bye.

Hooker also often goes off at players when gets marked on. He also gave Mellksham a massive (deserved) serve for a shocking forward 50 entry as well. One of the most frustrating things for me ATM is that our opposition always seems to make great use of free players in defense and we don't. Hooker a...

I understand the frustration Benny and the temptation to take that road. But the two prominent examples of doing that are Carlton and Melbourne. Or the Saints. Or Collingwood. Just about every team has a more younger / inexperienced team than us when we play them. It's time to draw a line through t...

Should have happened last year when we had an interim coach. Everyone could have worn it and it would have been easier to swallow. Unfortunately we have too many proud people at the club and we are not willing to completely pack it in. There's also the fact that these guys watch the kids and know th...

Hird has already said McKernan will play.

You cannot ignore his form over the past month. Must come in.

Second year player showing up all our older blokes. Its funny and sad at the same time.

Next year he'll be dynamite in our midfield. Just need to find another clone of him. Hopefully his brother can come on and play wing.

Giles is a complete spud. We may as well get Cain Ackland to ruck. So whose genius idea was it get him to clog our list? Dunno. Maybe he was best available at the time and they expected more from Bellchambers. Think we've become happy to take GWS spuds onto our list for whatever reason. We have 3 n...

Good young midfielder coming to Essendon.

Giles is a complete spud. We may as well get Cain Ackland to ruck.

Very quick panic merchant.

I don't think he'll make it but he does have some AFL level attributes so he does have some chance. I'd be playing Fanta, Browne, Jerrett ahead of him... but I'd be playing Edwards in front of Chapman

Apparently our new ruckman.

Don't think WADA will stop anyone coming for a big fat juicy 5 year contract.

Make it happen, get an A grade mid to help Watson and Heppell out please.

The team is already young. Pretty sure we're the 3rd oldest in the league at the moment. Those figures are distorted, they count Fletch in human years. Fletch does skew it by a couple of months but then dont forget Chappy, Stanton, Watson, Cooney, Goddard, Winderlich all 30+ this year Baguely, Howl...

Straight Swap Carlisle for Dion Prestia. Get Reid from Sydney and promise him he'll play forward. Give him some coin. A bit overrated but he can be a handy player next to Joey D. Put Bags up forward as a pressure player, Ashby, Browne, Gleeson, Hibberd, Dempsey, Gwilt can cover down back with Hurley...

Unfortunately its another thing we are hopeless in. Apart from Chappy we don't have enough that can win a free kick. A few weeks ago Grimes from Richmond was cornered and about to give up the ball but ducked beautifully to get frees and get out of danger on two separate occasions. 2 goal ball game a...

Ih he wants outs then trade for a mid in the 20-23 age bracket. There's a number of quality kids that would want to come back to Melbourne from interstate. Target them. If he wants to stay then he plays back. No ifs of buts about it. We just then need to find another scoring avenue. This may be the ...

Melksham runs 2nd in the comp to Buddy for Clangers.(who you can't really compare). Equal to Fyfe. So yes I wouldnt on its own link it to bad performance. but he doesnt get much of the pill, and his disposal efficiency is not great. he has maybe one or two noteable passes inside 50 a game. He plays...

Unfortunately Lloyds too fluffy and nice to call her out on this bullshit

A free kick is a clanger. It counts to the total and Jake had 4 FA and 4 disposal clangers.

I'd be playing Jake in front of Stanton every day of the week.
