Surely the Steve Hocking stand is standing room only.

McKercher in ahead of Humphries? Get in the bin.

 

[frggr]

Gee who'd have thought Ross Lyon coaching would lead to some questionable decisions...

McKercher in ahead of Humphries? Get in the bin.

sadly, he won't be eligible next year either

edit..

looked it up- yes, he is eligible at 22 next year

Humphries is eligible next year for the 22 under 22. He's not eligible for the rising star.

 

[Vdubs]

Humphries is eligible next year for the 22 under 22. He's not eligible for the rising star.

turns 22 in April; how is UNDER 22 eligibility decided?

edit

The 22 Under 22 team (stylised as 22under22) is an honorary representative Australian rules football team created by the AFL Players' Association that seeks to recognise the best young talent in the Australian Football League (AFL) and AFL Women's (AFLW) competitions each year.[1] To be eligible for selection, players must be aged 22 or under for the entire season (including finals). An initial squad of 40 is selected by the AFL Players' Board, before fans select a final team of 22 by voting via social media.[2]

So yes, Humphries does qualify next year too.

Is it just me, or is one club missing from this list?

Hence their ladder position this season?

I also love that the saints defence of this, that Ross "has a lot of lunches" can be interpreted as a personal attack on his waistline.

I choose to read it in the voice of a nagging mother, because it is more entertaining

's contract going at Melbourne? People say it's not comparable to the Bowes situation because Clarry is a better player than Jack.

Over the year Bowes has averaged the same number of kicks, more goals, marks, tackles, metres gained, marks inside 50, tackles inside 50,

Clarry has averaged more handballs, clearances, contested possessions, clangers, turnovers, and 13% more ToG%

If they are even remotely comparable in output, and we got pick 8 to take his contract, then this contract will absolutely bury Melbourne

All they can do is hold onto Oliver and pray that he gets back to 80% of the player he was.

Otherwise they are absolutely firetrucked.

With the premature loss of brayshaw and Oliver turning into the most expensive pumpkin of all time, I reckon their ship has sailed.

Sailed, spontaneously combusted, imploded, and sank to the ocean depths almost without a trace.

 

[Commando]

Few tough games this week
Syd v Coll, Carl v Haw particularly!

 

[dont stop me meow]

Completely unrelated to the current discussion but this gave me a much needed giggle this morning

We joke about Richmond and Collingwood, but Melbourne are headed for a similar cliff.

The dominant period was mostly due to their midfield, which is now ageing and breaking up. Never had good KPF or even a good forward line in general. Backline heavily carried by May and Lever, and will increasingly be under siege with the midfield falling apart.

And they're the third oldest and second most experienced side in the comp.

Melb most important player for years has been Gawn by a large margin followed by Trac now one of those will still be elite for years injury pending but Gawn is getting close to being done.

It's a travesty they have that flag
