We broke the record earlier this year. 49 in Port Augusta! Come on, reach the half-century!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

FWIW, when will Adelaide finally reach 50? It's a matter of when, not if, and I wouldn't be surprised if we got there next month.

Why did Melbourne slide so badly last season?

Here's one overlooked reason courtesy of demonland:

Last year, Neville Jetta was considered unlucky to miss out on All-Australian selection so one simply cannot underestimate the effect of his loss through injury to the Demon defence in 2019.

The club's mismanagement of Neville Jetta during the 2019 season was as bad as I have seen in all my years of watching sport.

He had an interrupted pre season and was thrown into the round 1 side on the back of limited training and match play. He then hobbled through the first three rounds before he was given round 4 off. Upon returning to the side in round 5 he hobbled around with little influence before suffering a supposedly unrelated knee injury which cost him the next three months. Inexplicably back in the side in round 17 of a dead season, again off limited VFL time, he hobbled through three more games before the pin was finally pulled on his season.

Neville is a very good player and an important part of the team, so why we are taking unnecessary risks with such players is totally beyond me. I'm sure, as with the Viney debacle of previous seasons, at least part of the blame is with the player, but we have medical staff who are paid big money to make the right decisions. They need to put their big boy pants on and make the best call for the club long term.

As an aside, it's reassuring to know that there are other Brett Burtons out there

He's slid off the radars by virtue of playing only 7 injury affected games last season but he's a quality small defender. Paul Roos raves about him in his commentary in regards to his ability to read the play.

Oh by the way I'm picking Neville Jetta (Melbourne)

Bang, I was tossing up between him and Williams for my small defender. Jetta was quality for 2 seasons but he's 30 next season and has come off an injury-hit season. This could be the steal of the draft or Jetta could be cooked. One of those everything to gain and nothing to lose type picks.

Hopefully Mego Red isn't at the Big Bash this time

Connor Blakely (Fremantle)

He's a guy that I thought would be a star but hasn't come on. Wonder what happened

He is a star ... when fit one of the best one on one small defenders in the game who also gives drive .

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I picked him at #160 odd last year and thought I had a steal. He then proceeded to play 7 games this year.

I hope he got a second date
Needs a win after the whole Pickett thing

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Hope he does well to be honest. Wouldn’t mind seeing GWS do well.

we have their first round pick next year, I’m hoping they come rock bottom

Went to Star Wars tonight. It's a very busy time of the year.

That's so unlikely I'm not even going to bother riding them.

What did you think? I saw it earlier today and thought it was quite good despite a lot of people hating on it

I think there's half a dozen moments in it that are the equal of any in a Star Wars film, and ultimately I think it's well worth seeing.

I agree with that.

 

[Mego Red]

This is my outsider for next year.

I think he's a great chance for a top five B&F after ending the season really well.
