Is it just me or do you feel like Essington could really use a player like Massimo right about now?

Quartermain: "What'd we get him for?" - Lehmo/Dippa: "NOTHING!"

 

[Ashman23]

You would imagine that the AFL bigwigs will be meeting soon to decide if North Melbourne stay in Melbourne.

This cannot continue.

Fold 'em up and send them to Tassie.

PROS:

One less side in Melbourne

Existing transferable fanbase (assuming some 10 - 20% of North Fans follow over) for Tassie games in Melbourne

Pool of AFL (well a few anyway) players to assist inaugural Tassie Squad

Less Draft dilution.

Existing base at Arden St for new team for Melbourne based training.


North are cooked.

As an aside - they apparently approached Fiorini from GCS about a move south - Fiorini told them he would rather be delisted.

North Are Cooked.

And what did the good people of Tassie ever do to you for you to suggest such a crime upon them?

is an absolute spud.

 

[KermitJagger]

Still can't work out if Ben McKay is an absolute spud.

McKay is halfway to a good defender.

He'd be great for a good side with an attacking backline where he would absolutely never have to get involved in offense in any way. I've never seen anyone have so much difficulty with handballing in my life.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

As in impressed or na?

He must save his best footy for when I'm not watching.

That, and he has a tendancy to have some monumental brain explosions like below

 

[Viddiot]

Boy oh boy....I thought I'd tune in just in case it was an entertaining affair.
Watching the bummers handball chain, the wrong way, into pressure....I don't know if I'm out of Schaden, or freud, but it's barely entertaining now. LOL.

 

[KermitJagger]

Pretty common trait in Key Defenders but jeez that's a bad one

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Brisbane really suck at that extra handball inside 50. Prefer to take low percentage shots.

 

[VandoHawk]

Looks like it's down to Dogs, Carlton or Freo

 

[H00t]

With Neale having another big night it seems there will be a good chance either Neale wins his 3rd Brownlow or Cripps wins his second.

Both really good players but neither should be winning that many especially when Bont (and others) don’t have one

If Bont finishes his career without winning a Brownlow, I'd consider it the biggest injustice in the history of the award. There are guys like Lethal and KB who also never won it but that was to be expected back then, it's much more predictable now and there's far fewer years that feel obviously rigged.

Get the feeling that Bont suffers because he seems to either poll 3 or nothing. Has 42 games with 3 votes, 17 with 2 votes and 9 with 1 vote.

 

[mustang]

Scum coming back hard v Brisbane will move us to 5th if they lose.

 

[Off The Couch]

I will never ever cheer for *

But I can say - it would be good if lions choke

 

[OnTheRocks]

Choke on Scum lions

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

But I can say - it would be good if lions choke

Would it ?

11.21 geez Louise

 

[wahawk]

If we can finish 5th we would also (projecting forward) miss Sydney at the postage stamp in a prelim.

You do realise that it’s the same size as the Gabba ?
& Not much different to Marvel.

Only 4.5m shorter & 5 m skinnier than mcg

 

[Nugett]

Brisbane is gettable. Very flakey

 

[NewkTheLot]

Leaving aside the humidity boogeyman that know alls on here insist exists, would love to play the lions. They’re mentally weak

Bont seems to suffer from his best games being so good but only being able to get 3 votes.

While also not being an umpires pet like Neale or Cripps etc. who only need average games to get votes Bont needs to dominate to catch the umps eye.
