Ben Long was supposed to be our McDonald-Tipungwuti. Our Rioli. If he's gone backwards after getting recruited then it's a damning comment on our development staff. We get Ben Long and Melbourne pick up Mitch Hannan from the bulldogs - go figure! That one game of Ben Long- left me wondering why the...

and you wonder why people don't post here. place is an echo chamber for the failures in peoples own lives. Support your team involves an element of faith and hope, without it there is no point. Do something else with your time

you all make some good points. I saw some games at moorabbin but too young to remember them. Waverly a few. I guess as it stands I don't really feel like we have a home, and tassie would make that a reality. But I'd prefer to have it here in Melbourne. colonial-telstra-etihad stadium is soulless. Im...

I would love it. 9 games in melbourne, 9 in tassie. As long as it's a fifty fifty split and stays that way, and if it changes it just goes back to melbourne only, then definitely for it. Tassie needs a team, we have strong links to tassie. Also I reckon I could retire in tassie so that wouldn't hurt...

sinclair will, as long as he works hard, he's a footballer. Minch is a strange one, can be brilliant at times but is mostly not so. Dmac's disposal is actually pretty good, he's just nervous at senior level, needs some games. Wright what you see is what you get. Who the f is Huff and Puff!? How old ...

That McStake thing was really poor form. I understand if people don't agree with the selection, but turning on our own like that, and to have it highlighted like it was. I was going to say something but seeing how much I defend McCartin I figured it wouldn't be taken seriously. I'm glad the mods did...

And I agree, he may turn out a good player

But the concerns are;

Double grabbing
Terrible running capacity
Speed

You're wrong on this one, his speed is good. Watch closer

ahh, with the title of this thread it's finally clicked - johnny member is using this forum as a way to practice up for his soon to be doomsday cult!

i think he said in the podcast that he's at 101 kgs now? From 96kgs he's been super impressive, especially considering the fact (by his own admission) he's played very little as a forward prior to this year.. In regards to him vs paddy. I'e only seen the one game sandy v coburg, and it's fair to say...

For those who failed to read the first post this is what it said Half Time We don't have a tall forward other than Riewoldt. 1. McCartin is NOT a tall, he is a small. 2. Riewoldt jumps, Bruce jumps, they play tall. They often get tunnelled McCartin does not jump, he plays small. Has anyone ever see...

you idiots. Of course he is one touch, watch him in the VFL, he's half touch, he's just nervous cos it's his 20th fkn game. Jesus christ. The ball barely got into our fifty, and when it did our midfield burnt him badly, ignored his leads. He fumbled one mark, which he followed up. I think it even re...

Hi RODOS, I can't argue with that philosophy re the importance of 'rewarding form'. But lets look at that form. Sure, one can only beat the opposition of the day, but, Coburg is on the bottom of the ladder, with a percentage around 50%. That suggests that monstering their backline... is what everyo...

paddy has earned his shot. We reward form. Keeps the team turning and chugging. If we didn't our boys in the twos wouldn't try and we'd end up with no depth/crap bottom six. Paddy is no different. He plays well for a string of matches (four goals clear on top of the vfl goal kicking), he gets a game...

I don't like the idea of dropping Bruce for Paddy. Bruce will compete all day, but I fear that Paddy will not and that is where we could lose the match. This!!! They were claiming on SEN this evening too, that there was 'early selection' news. Two of them. I didn't catch the second one, being too d...

Who rucked for Sandy and how did they go with big Hickey out? Holmes mainly, pierce did a bit. Holmes was funny to watch, while everyone else on the ground were sledging and complaining to the umps, holmes looked like he was in another world, completely focused on learning his job. No one bothered ...

Yeah he has a crack loves the physical stuff Yeah I wasn't paying too much attention to the coburg boys, but there were a few ball ups in front of me and in one of them the 'burg ruckman laid a crunching tackle. I remember thinking how I was glad I didn't choose football as a career path. Be intere...

was there for the second half. - paddy was basically unstoppable if it was kicked anywhere near him. To strong in the one on ones, clunked them in the packs, clunked them with the single mitt, eyes for the footy but still cleaned up anyone that got in his way - long was very classy in the last. Pad...

Cmon man... are we jumping on him now he's played a quality game. He's been roundly criticised for underachieving up until recently? Seriously, four weeks ago we wanted him dropped (most won't admit to that) and he was struggling. Has built over the last few weeks and had a BOG today. What I mean b...

Thanks for the post, Playon. Sharing things like this gives a lot of perspective and can really help people to focus on what matters in their day to day lives. I can't comprehend what you're going through, but it's not over till it's over. You just have to look around to see people defying the odds ...
