No Konstanty in the line-up? Is he injured?

Making a comeback :)

5. Papley 4. Blakey 3. Heeney 2. Lloyd 1. Ladhams Y. Campbell

Jeez Brisbane really have just rolled over in this second half.

i'll jump in

The only reason his KE% is lower is because of the degree of difficulty of the kicks that he attempts. He is often attempting kicks with small margins which - when they come off - generally put us in a position to score. His KE% might not jump off the page, but his disposal is still far more...

Edwards played in the ruck and up forward a bit, I liked the look of him. Mitchell came on during the fourth quarter so didn’t see much of it then, but he played the reserves as well.

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but there was a goal in our game against St Kilda (round 15 i think, when we belted them at the SCG) which had a series of beautiful plays from all involved. Started with Paps in the middle tap and lightning give to Clarke, quick handball to...

I agree with the foot skills, not Clarke's best asset by a long shot. I think he has a pretty good footy IQ though, he has shut down some quality players which requires smarts as well as discipline. Ideally i'd love to see Konstanty or Sheldrick take over that role and be able to shut down the...

Not yet no. No not yet. All we’ve been told (as far as I know) is that Blakey will have three weeks off and then return to training. Still a chance for round one but depends how he bounces back, probably unlikely. McCartin there has been no official word, only some talk about him leaving the...

I reckon they're pretty flush for them aren't they? Durdin, Owies, Motlop. Don't get me wrong, Ronke probably has more runs on the board than all of them, would be good to see him get another crack.

If TDK is destined for Geelong, I wonder if we could try and prise out Toby Conway from the Cats? Young ruckman who was a first round pick 2 seasons ago, he would all of a sudden be further back in the pecking order if they got TDK. He's contracted til end of 2024, but he's Patty and Tommy's...

I'd agree that a forward line based around Mclean, Mcdonald and Heeney can be effective moving forward. The issue for Mclean at this stage is that I don't think him and Franklin really work well in the same forward line, and Lance will always get picked before Mclean. I think once Lance is...

Definitely a big element of luck, but i also think we are controlling more of the controllables now and minimising some of the soft tissue injuries that plagued us in the past. I'm also confident in the five you have mentioned that they would be able to step in and hold their own. I think...

We had a great run, but can part of this be attributed to our medical staff and physio's? Seems like since they came in at the start of 2021 we have had a much better record with keeping guys on the park. Based on this I feel like we shouldn't need to be dipping too deep into the reserves of...

Darren is his old man

Realistically, who of the teams ahead of us tonight do you think will take him? GWS have three rucks in their mid 20's with AFL experience and a clear need for a small/med forward, West Coast have Nic Nat, Bailey Williams, Hugh Dixon (FWIW i think they are most likely), Essendon have a gun young...

Couldn't agree more. If I was ranking clubs in terms of ruck needs, Melbourne would be right at the bottom. Them trading up to get one to sit in the VFL for 5 years would be truly bizarre.

Reckon he will still be there

Couldn't agree more with this. Tassie will be all over him if he's any good.

Father Son historically has not benefitted us in any way. We have had two F/S selections since 2000, both of whom went back to Melbourne clubs after short stints in Sydney. Dunkley basically said don't pick me i want to play in Melbourne. In that time, Collingwood have picked up 12 players and...

Personally i'd love to see us take Barnett, but I agree that in terms of the others if there is a dearth of quality talls there's no point taking one for the sake of it. Guys with X-factor like Brayden George might be worth a shot, otherwise it might be worth trading one of our picks into next...

I think the point is that the point is that there will be very minimal opportunity to break into our midfield for the foreseeable future. We have a solid young midfield and Sheldrick and Roberts already waiting in the wings, hard to see any of our current midfield crop retiring any time soon...

My understanding is that there seems to be a pretty clear top 5-10 players this year and then there isn't a whole lot separating the next 15-20 after that. So our positioning is a bit unfortunate, just out of reach of those top end talents but probably not all that much better off than having a...

I agree, feel like we are pretty well stocked for “medium defenders”. I really like the look of Barnett and feel like he would be a sensible selection. As for our other first rounder, Jefferson in the unlikely case that he gets through, otherwise Allen, Hustwaite, George maybe Hotton.

Yeah that doesn’t sound like a great attribute

I can’t see why he’d be any more of a “flight risk” than any other player we might be looking at picking up at that point. And if there were then I’d back our system to make him to want to stay.

Not sure really, it’s a bit odd. Seems to have potential, maybe just needs to be in the right environment to realise it.

Anyone got thoughts on maybe picking up Harry Lemmey if he's still there at our third pick? He was quite widely rated as an early first round pick 12 months ago but has had a tough year and slid right down the pecking order. There is obviously some talent there though, might be someone who we...
