Just Pendles and Swan rotating through half forward and forward pocket while our future(Aish, Treloar, De Goey, etc..) builds chemistry in the midfield.
I don't think it's that. 100 people could think Pendles was 1% better than Selwood and we'd still have a 100-0 result.
I think that Pendles is a better player but I don't think that the landslide represents people thinking Pendles is 3 times the player of Selwood or that people dislike Selwood...
Sorry but are you really so cynical as to believe that a man and his club would make up a story just to protect his game from being critiqued?
And secondly, why on earth would someone announce pre game that they were sick. Thats really doesn't make sense as an argument.
One of the great under pollers of our time.
3 major things go against him when rated by AA selectors, Umpires and alike.
- Disposal efficiency is bizarrely the games most underrated stat for mids. Only in our game. Out of all mids in the game who can actually win the ball he is comfortably the...

Pendlebury is and has been one of, if not the best clutch player in the game for many years...
Alright i'll give it a crack.
Jeremy Howe: Skippy
Adam Treloar: Trez
James Aish: Aisho
Brayden Sier: Sir Brayden
Josh Smith: Bull
Tom Phillips: The Engine
Rupert Wills: Rupert, just Rupert
Tim Golds: Treasure
Ben Crocker: Croc
Well.... that went even worse than expected. May aswell go ahead...
Cyril.
Absolutely love him and think we need that spark. Leon gave it to us sporadically, Krak did briefly and it's something that I find to be important. Not because they turn a game off their own boot but just because they seem to give the team energy when they do something that just...
Really really close.
As an opposition supporter i'm just that little bit more scared when the ball is in Sloane hands so i'll go for him.
I also think he will really step up in the absence of Danger, AA 2016 imo.
I think that Elliot will almost certainly become an AA in the next few years, yet I still believe that Fasolo has the greater potential. Whether he applies himself or not is another question.
After arguably our best ever trade period what do you think our 2016 prospects are.
Personally I saw us cracking the 8 again before I knew we were landing Treloar, Howe or Aish.
If I were to take a stab now i'd say 4-5, I have always been optimistic about our 2017+ prospects but I truly...
Not directed at you, more to the people who just seem to hate journalists rather than just not agreeing with their opinions or not trusting there intel.
At one point I wanted to be an AFL journalist but I don't think i'd be able to handle working hard to get to the top only to have personal...
Why all the hate? They try to get info first and make a blunder every now and then in that pursuit.
They are an important part of this industry.
And yes some of them have biases but thats because they got into the industry because they are football fans, i'd struggle to hide my love for the...
I can definitely appreciate his vision and poise by hand and yeah it is well up for debate that he could be better than Heppell in that department even if I'm not so sure.
But Pendles, Mitchell and Jobe Watson are a level up. Cunnington in the second tier for sure. But what you're saying is...
Disagree on value of Treloar.
He has become a player that you would be thrilled to have picked up at no1 in the draft, we get him with all the development out of the way for pick 7 in a weak draft(Not only shallow but weak at the top end) and pick 10+ next year given that we are almost...
Just on Howe for anyone who see's him as a 1 trick pony.
Had absolutely no delivery in the forward line at Melbourne and copped the best mid sized defender, when he was moved to the halfback line late last year he was being tagged after 2 games. Admittedly his form dropped off late this year...
So Sidey and Adams are probably our 2 hottest tipped players to go up a level to elite next year, This was Crisps first full season and Pendles struggled all year with injury that he has already had surgery on.
So much growth and improvement to come just out of the top 5, our list is so primed...
