You dont win a flag by being lucky
I just think that you make stuff up.
No hate.
Resorting to luck is the easy way out - were our 4 flags in a row due to luck?My position is simpler- without a logical explanation for this difference, then luck is the only alternative.
If it was ALL strategy then why have we failed to dominate the competition ever since?Resorting to luck is the easy way out - were our 4 flags in a row due to luck?
Name me 5 clubs that have won more than 13 flags in that periodMy position is simpler- without a logical explanation for this difference, then luck is the only alternative.
They were protecting his hammy, when making him play HB. If fully fit he’d definitely be playing mid.I wonder if Cerra is gettable from Carlton?
Pushed out of the midfield at times, they have other needs and would need the salary cap to make the happen.

Quite like that idea. Blues should be looking to shift a couple of Hewett, Cerra, Kennedy, Newman. And add some runners. Solid players but too many like that makes them a plod squad. Cerra is the one that would cost though. I'd go for Kennedy.I wonder if Cerra is gettable from Carlton?

Let's keep it like that...Solid players but too many like that makes them a plod squad.
If Jackson Macrae might be a salary dump, I hope we do a similar Tom Mitchell type trade for him. We're obviously desperate for a big bodied midfielder if we're playing Rupert Will incarnate in Ned Long.
Future 3rd should get it done. Added benefit of then not being able to throw away our future first again.
Pies are looking at this and potentally taking on his full deal, Dogs would throw in a sweetner.If Jackson Macrae might be a salary dump, I hope we do a similar Tom Mitchell type trade for him. We're obviously desperate for a big bodied midfielder if we're playing Rupert Will incarnate in Ned Long.

BEEG is correct with the Trac talk. Only wants to go to Collingwood, but just don't have the assets to please Melbourne
They (Melbourne) are not okay internally.
Unless he's changed his style, Macrae is more of a clever linker than first possession Tom Mitchell type. Good player though.If Jackson Macrae might be a salary dump, I hope we do a similar Tom Mitchell type trade for him.

Haynes linked to the Blues![]()
NoIs he still contracted?
He basically has the same career averages as Mitchell. 27 vs 28 average possessions. 10+ contested possessions vs 12 for Mitchell and 4.3 clearances vs 4.8 clearances for Mitchell.Unless he's changed his style, Macrae is more of a clever linker than first possession Tom Mitchell type.

Finals will be interesting - if noone can run with Sydney or Hawthorn - footy will shift very quickly away from the slower mids.
I'm probably misjudging because he just gets so much footy linking up that I'm thinking only of that and underestimating his inside game.He basically has the same career averages as Mitchell. 27 vs 28 average possessions. 10+ contested possessions vs 12 for Mitchell and 4.3 clearances vs 4.8 clearances for Mitchell.
Macraes averages probably dragged down a little also from his last two years of playing wing/forward flank.
He's exactly the type of undervalued cheap gun we should be targeting if we still want to keep contending. Won't be mortgaging our future like we've done with Schultz.
