Games are won in the midfield.

Its an improvement on Brown and Bradshaw but its not even a 5 goal improvement, let alone the ten goal improvement they will need to beat a Geelong or the Bulldogs in Melbourne.

Perhaps. But I like to use hyperboles and other devices for emphasis.

Metaphors, similes, and analogies never hold up to closer scrutiny anyway. I'm surprised people jumped so quickly on it.

Trying to gain credibility by acting smart goes out the door when one of your previous posts contains some rubbish from Dragonball Z.
 
Using knowledge learnt at primary school level and early high school constitutes "acting smart"? Must have a real brains trust at wendy hill :rolleyes:

And who doesn't like DragonBall Z?

Hyperboles, similes and metaphors are all different rhetorical terms with different meanings.

It's good to know that you were paying attention in school, just a pity you didn't understand what you were taught. You get an E for effort. :thumbsu:



And Dragonball Z is lame. Grow up.
 
As the season goes on I can see him spitting the dummy in usual Fev style that the ball isnt hitting him lace out in front of him every time.

If he whinges with Judd, Murphy, Gibbs and co delivering him the ball, how is he going to react to a lesser midfield moving the ball out of the middle.

This has got drama written all over it....
 
one player does not a premiership make.

The big question will be the forward set ups. Brown at chf and fev at ff may be a potent machine or they may get in each others' way.

Worked together ok in the hall of fame game...

Carey >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brown

Ablett >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fevola

Carey + Ablett >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brown + Fevola.

Different era's - can't compare. Carey and Ablett didn't have to contend with heavy flooding etc.
 
Will be absolutely fascinating to watch.

Firstly, I don't reckon that a 80 goal a year forward + a 80 goal a year forward = 160 goals- there is only so much opportunities to go around, and they are going to have to get good at finding space for each other.

Still, this may be the greatest key forward combo in living memory. And with the likes of Black and Rich delivering to them. **** me.

Thought I'd go back over the last few years and see how the Bradshaw/Brown combo worked

Brown 77 (2007) 70 (2008) 85 (2009)
Bradshaw 59 (2007) 75 (2008) 58 (2009)

Its not that far out of reach to see 2 80 goal forwards in the same year. I can see them in each others way a bit, with the best lead-up forward and the 2nd best lead-back forward ;)
 
It isn't a problem for us, while it is unfortunate that Presti doesn't get to humilate both of them in seperate games as he does each year, at least it will give Leroy another chance to take Brown to the cleaners.

When the best you can hope for is for Leigh Brown 'holding' J. Brown to 5 goals again, your team is in trouble.
 
I can' believe some of the crap written in the Herald Sun. There are Brisbane fans complaining about losing those two players. FFS Bradshaw WANTS to go back home to Melbourne and he's 31 in November!!! Rischitelli is usefull but clearly not a game changer....

YOU'RE GETTING AN ALL-AUSTRALIAN, COLEMAN MEDALLIST YOU JACK ASSES!!!

Nah they had to contend with getting smothered by their direct opponents in 1 on 1's. Can't touch a forward these days.

Not to mention SOS & co with the arm chops..

You forgot Callum Chambers!!!
 
He does it frequently enough for it to be considered "normal", yes. It needs to be a real quality full back to even keep him to a couple of goals, like Lake or Scarlett.

for your info presti kept him to 1 goal in 2 games this year. and fev usually has 1 defender on him not 3 . mate ure in dreamland :rolleyes:

lol yeah it seems silly to whinge but Braddles has many devoted fans and they are just sad to see a loyal player go. if you take out the emotion it is a massive win. and if in fact bradshaw did want to go home I'm happy with the trade.
