Do any Crows fans like this guy? I swear he gets nominated yearly. My theory is that because he is fair haired and looks younger than he is people keep thinking he's 27.
Nope. We don't get it. Every game he gets his 13 disposals, 3 fumbles, 3 broken tackles and a sprayed shot every second game. When I say 10 years I mean 10 years, no exaggeration.

Scott McMahon 2.0. That guy was just there for years.
That was the era of blonde vanilla midfielders. Hence Nathan Van Berlos nickname -- Nathan Van Illa
Can't expect to nominate 27 year Olds who can play multiple positions and is just down on form and expect to be taken serious.
This thread should be for players who should have retired, not just having a bad run.

Possibly Lewis Jetta for us. Dropped after round 4 (his 200th game) and hasn't been seen since. 31 and now a fringe player.
Hurn and Kennedy (both 33 this year) looked iffy early on but have been good in recent weeks.

Simpson did mention in a press conference around the end of hub time that there were a couple of players who were having issues outside of football and thanked the media for not prying into things not relevant (or words to that effect). Maybe Jetta was that?

At my club, it would have been undoubtedly Priddis
He was cooked and everyone could see it, outside of the club.
He was actually i believe contracted to go on for another year (which the club wanted him to do) before he ended up pulling the pin himself
Curiously, we won the grand final the very next year

Nate jones again
I think everyone apart from the man himself knew Nathan Jones was done. I think the club wanted to keep some mature heads around and also not push him out and make the mistake they did with James McDonald. Plus if need be he could come in and a play a little half forward/wing and just fill a spot. Shame he can't find any on ball time because that's the one position he'd be able to make more of an impact
It says more about Melbourne's very ordinary depth and Jones' willingness to keep having a go that he's actually played a few games. Also a lot about the AFL's eternal optimism for youth in that a 19 year old who's no good is praised but a 32 year old who isn't physically up to it but can do a little bit is seen as terrible.

Phil Davis was swung forward because he rolled his ankle and couldn't change direction.

He was swung forward before his injury
And Phil davis has been poor all year imo
Melbourne footy club keep getting young talent then within 2 or 3 years they have destroyed them
the online groundswell for Luke 'parto' Partington was everywhere, he couldnt have avoided it. Gee Matt was good in 2015 but he did drop off precipitously
