I take it the players are taking part in Movember.
Hartlett's clearly leading the way too.

Simmo looks to be ahead of Harts with regards to Movember.
Stevo and Grigga aren't too far behind, either.

I was thinking maybe with "The Sexy Squad's" help we should run a poll on the best "pr0n star Mo" at the end of the Month.Simmo looks to be ahead of Harts with regards to Movember.

Benjamin's really put on some serious muscle (upper body particularly) - sprinting background would've really helped in that regard. How did he go with the Bullants this season? Any chance of some AFL action next year?
Its fair to say he struggled through the year, playing a few games in the third level (Bullants Reserves) and not making an impact when he played in the Bullants.
Year 2 should be interesting, but with a build like that and his pace its hard to see him not making a far larger impact.
The few times I saw him in 2007, pace and strength didn't seem to be a major problem. My impression was that he simply couldn't get involved in games e.g. not running to the right spots, not running hard enough, not enough intensity in the contest, having a brief impact then going missing for the next 2 quarters etc.....I think these are the real issues he needs to work on.

We already have a winner in Lance.I was thinking maybe with "The Sexy Squad's" help we should run a poll on the best "pr0n star Mo" at the end of the Month.
I didn't say he struggled for pace - I said the opposite
His pace is a definite attribute, even on the soggy Cramer St Oval. But he looked pretty small out there so an extra, full, pre-season can only help. Would like to see him get a go in the Wizzer to see how he stacks up.

Whatever you think of Benjamin's performances for 2007 - Ratts said that he would have been picked to play later on this season (after he took over).
So obviously he see's something in him.

Hmmmm..........maybe we should have given him another year just for the Mo, but only if he wears it the whole season. Otherwise we could have him as a "Mo development" coach - I reckon Harts has a lot of potential that could be tapped with some guidance.

I suspect the poster with the username and red card Team Mo' is really Lance.

Thats fantastic Ratten was showing Shields how to kick a football. Is this the AFL or the diamond valley football league. Please
Surely you can't be suggesting that Ratten doesn't know how to kick a football?
As for Benjamin...
He has what it takes, no doubt.
The BIG problem is he burns up the training track in Summer...PROBLEM is he can not stand the Winter, hates it.
That is probably why he did not seem interested last season, he was too busy hating the cold.
He may be a little more used to it next Winter, hope so, as he needs to fully concentrate on the footy and not the biting cold winds.

No, we have a player training at an AFL club who doesn't know how to kick a football get it.

He was showing a Gaelic footballer how to kick the Sherrin, not an Australian who grew up playing the game.
Think, then post.

Not to mention the number of 'elite' players in the league who STILL can't kick a footy right.

So, we now know you're against the whole Irish experience.
God forbid we expand our horizons to other nationalities in an attempt to recruit the best for our club.
