Prediction One season too many - Now 2024 Edition

[freddy mercury]

Didnt he leave Port because Hinkley told him a few home truths, he didnt like it and spat the dummy?

He does strike me as the guy who would sleep with the lights on

 

[hawkman]

He was fine under Clarkson but has shown nothing under the Sam Mitchell led tank.

Chad is a player who lives for the big time but has spent the last couple of years playing for the smallest possible time, and has lost all motivation as a result. I still reckon if you stuck him in a top 4 side playing big games you'd get a completely different performance out of him, but he's been so bad this year he might have damaged his reputation enough that no contending side would want to take a chance on him to find out.

With his injuries he has lost any penetration on his kicks, 40-45m would be his absolute limit as he has looked to pass every time he is around 50 out
No doubt there are probably motivation issues as well but his body is the biggest issue

Smith sees football as more of a job than anything. Plus being a very country family always works to be away from Melbourne more. So couple of extra years at a contender would always have appealed more than helping build the team.

Depends on the personality as I said. Lot of players would be content with 3 flags and see their playing days out passing on their knowledge to the next generation. Smith clearly wasn't interested in that and it worked out for him. Breust is wired differently although it would have been tough watching a close mate leave in Gunston.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Hasn't he under delivered. He was good at Port, came across and shown nothing.

Terrible terrible trade

 

[Post padding]

I reckon he just wants the 4 more goals he needs to pass Doug Wade and move to 4th on the all time goal kicking list and then he can pack it up - nothing else left for him to do.

I reckon he will pull the pin after rd 17.
Last game at the MCG.

Would be the right call for both him and the Swans - McDonald especially plays better without Buddy.

Round 15 v Eagles he could go out with a bang. At home.

Your post hasn't aged too well.. Was our 2nd best player on the weekend.. And Mcdonald won't be playing better with or without buddy for quite some time.

One game doesn't change things. Jack Riewoldt kicked 4 a few weeks ago then reverted to old man performances. Buddy is on last legs. Still got the ability to do good things but he is at about 60% of his peak and going down.

Definitely Cotchin

60% of his peak is probably still better than most!

Nah, it isn't. I don't think teams can afford to play someone who is impacting the game for 10-15 minutes. Buddy has been a great player. Right now I don't think he would get a game on a lot of AFL lists. He had to go again after kicking 50+ last year but i cannot see him going past this season.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Andrew Gaff absolutely sucks

Contracted next year too, apparently on big coin

 

[HairyO]

Adam Simpson

Which coach would do well with that team?

 

[WillHayward]

Contracted next year too, apparently on big coin

That's ridiculous.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Contracted next year too, apparently on big coin

You can thank the north war chest for that

We were slinging that around bumping up players salaries for several years still will this year also I’d assume

 

[freddy mercury]

Andrew Gaff absolutely sucks

I remember north melbourne opened up the cheque book for him and he knocked it back. Far cry from that now.

 

[freddy mercury]

Adam Simpson

To be absolutely fair, we've never seen an injury list like this.

 

[Pistol Night]

I remember north melbourne opened up the cheque book for him and he knocked it back. Far cry from that now.

He was probably thinking “Who the **** still had a cheque book?” and thought it was dodgey
