Topkent your super special stickied post is here for your convenience.

I remember that name.

Ol shake n bake JKH, call of the century maybe second to 'Dees are going to be special'

Happy that Lever is resting. I would've dropped him anyway. His brain fades are costing us goals each week. He has obvious strengths but his brain fades are making him a net loss to the team at the moment.

Howes May McDonald
Salem Petty Bowey

May be one of the worst ground-level back-sixes I've ever seen lol

FMD. When I saw Lever out I thought 'good, T Mac goes back and they bring in another small'

But no, bring in a tallish, slow defender and keep the three tall forwards + Fritsch again.

Oh how I yearn for the days of Hibberd and Jetta.

Hibberd was like no current Melbourne defender. He attacked.

I think Lindsay could be eerily similar eventually if he was used in a similar role. (Would prefer him in the midfield however)

Well pardners I might mosey on down to the G and have a gander at the game.
I'm tippin' thar will be 13 of us red 'n blues there. That's 13 not 13,000.

I personally miss Matty Whelan. Quick and tough.

People complaining about the ins and being too slow. Who tf have we got that will miraculously come in and speed us up that's available? The list is cooked. Windsor and Koz will add pace next week, but f* the list is wrecked. Built for contest/defence. Agree also that the F50 is just perpetually a joke. Too slow, too tall not near enough talent. That half forward line is literally a VFL line. Throw in Chandler and Fritta who came from VFL and that area of the ground is a fn disaster.

Robert Hansen Junior last week had a bit of a Jay Kennedy Harris remember the name!!! to it

 

[Daemon]

So Lever is out so we bring in Howes?? They guy got dropped for being shit and is not an intercept defender. Should have just had TMac, May, and Petty back and no Disco. Or at least being in Hore (still love that guy).

get out of my footy club, simon goodwin

 

[dazzledavey36]

lol @ Goodies obsession with slow as **** forward lines with no forward craft.

Rioli, Noble and Powell to rack up 30+ each while our slow Dinosaurs chase them around all day.

Goodie even has the nerve to have Chandler named on the bench after last week as well.

Half forward line of Henderson, Johnson and Sharp (2 VFL players and a Brisbane reject).

**** me we have neglected proper recruitment of forwards.

You do realise most players do not start on the original positions thats named initially on a Thursday right?

Been the oldest trick in the book for years lols..

Would have picked all 3 emergencies in the 23 ahead of some of the plodders actually in the team. There's options there if Goody decides to not just keep swapping the same players around every week.

Simon “ rearranging the deck chairs “ Goodwin. One thing that hasn’t changed is his selection preferences. Going to be a long season.

Exactly the reason why I hated the Langford pick. But I do think fast ball movement makes teams look a lot faster.

Fast = fast. More at 7 from our lead reporter Dan.

The Giants will provide entertainment for the next few decades, until the D's become competitive again.

 

[Scythe94]

Get ready for the 'they won a flag four years ago, their fans should be grateful' discourse when 10 people show up tomorrow. It won't be Goodwin and his boring, massively flawed gameplan's fault

You do realise that even if he does change it around it’s still going to be trash right?

Doesn’t seem like a trick to me.

Port kid Moraes looked like a young fast hard at it Butters racking up 27 disposals the other night. We have some obsession to only wanting top end picks and having **** all creativity in finding talent post pick 15 anymore.
