2 key forwards and an elite small combined with 2 quality mids is needed to become competitive. Hamill, Sholl, Schoenberg gonna be very good. V concerned with both jones and mchenry.That’s my take too hope everyone agrees tilthorpe McDonald and best mid with gws pick then next best mid at pick 20 . Two kpf a must forward line stinks ,tex gone lynch nearly gone, fog not the answer. A must. And we will be last next year get Horne special as player but this year draft for kpfs so we need just load up on them cause our forward line at present is non existent
positives - Schoenberg 12 in first game looks the real deal. Sholl - 9 in first half before being rested McAsey - going be a gun anyone knows footy can see it hamil - we all know will be a gun. Himelbourg starting put it together, best game persist with him. Laird midfield really good
negatves. McHenry still on fence but jones I am really concerned about, should be producing more now no excuses.
With Mods hair and unfortunately Matt's kickingIs it just me or is Keays the love child of Mat Connell and Tony modra ?

Exactly. Looks like mods plays like Matt. Which for us will be good, given where we are at.With Mods hair and unfortunately Matt's kicking
People do realise we won the Centre circle clearances tonight even allowing for our shitfull last quarter 10 - 8With Mods hair and unfortunately Matt's kicking
There's clearance numbers, then there's quality clearances.People do realise we won the Centre circle clearances tonight even allowing for our shitfull last quarter 10 - 8

Maybe but we were in the fight tonight....have to go back a long way to see when we last won the centre clearance count....and Melbourne's midfield personnel is pretty bloody decent by AFL standards.There's clearance numbers, then there's quality clearances.
Paul/Geoffa, I respect both of you, but no, it's not the players' fault.Thus what happens with so many kids playing.
Oh ok. So a young player completely down on confidence isn’t given any leeway because of his draft pick number? This is why the Crows never rebuild, our supporters jump off young players if they aren’t seeing consistency within their first 20 games.Jones hasn’t shown anything to suggest he’ll make it.
Yeah, in previous posts I've described MCHenry's mongrel as a lot of huff-n-puff which ain't blowing a lot of AFL houses down.McHenry has mongrel.. but doesn’t look a first rounder
I thought that was true for most of the side, tonight.Murphy just does not know how to position himself offensively.
Dinkum?First words from Nicks "We ran out of gas"...
His exact words..Dinkum?
Isn't that a-l-m-o-s-t saying that Hass is crap?

Fitness is his biggest issue.
He's a lead up forward who can take a mark and kick a goal.
Struggles with repeated efforts chasing and then getting back ready to run proper leading patterns.
Same when the ball hits the deck, he's spent.
If we/he can fix fixes the fitness he has, he will be fine. Needs very few posessions to make a difference in a match.
needs to get more touches but our midfields service to him is garbage so it doesnt help.Fog is not the answer now?
Ended up watching when I got home from dinner. Gaah, 4 hour sleep. Not good.Doesn't ruin your weekend this way.
I missed the start of this. You talking about Fogarty? Sounds like.Maybe so—but here is the thing about fitness. At the end of the day, it is not a coach or a teammate or a physio that matters. It is up to the player to ensure he is physically fit. This is his chosen profession and he is well aware of the requirements necessary to compete at this level by now.
You cannot teach desire. His fitness has not just been a this year thing.
Unless he drastically changes his preparation mindset, in my opinion, he will be nothing more than just another guy.
Hope he proves me wrong
