Very surprising he didn't get any Brown(low) love, he is Greek after all.

 

[ghostdog]

More surprised that T-Bell did.

Had pretty good numbers when he played including 30+ in three of our beltings of opposition clubs.

Zaharakis plays in a way I'd expect would get the umpire's attention.

I suppose Jobe and Stanton were getting all of the votes in the first half of the year.

Umpires aren't likely to give votes to players who commentate themselves during the game.

Far too arrogant. Umpires see it from a mile out.

Yep Aker wasn't arrogant.

Does Zaharakis do that? What a ******* legend.

I am more interested in Hurley and Zaka obtaining AA honours - They both have enough ability.

And it will be great to have an Essendon drafted player be AA - Few in the last 20 years if you exclude F/S, Zone Selections and traded in players.

AA is a farce. The bloke who got second in the brownlow 2 years straight hasn't got an AA jumper ffs, and Fletch has as many AA's as Leon Davis

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Damien Hardwick has as many AA's as Harry O'Brien.

Just... no.

 

[Kong]

Pavlich is an All Australian Full Back.

/credibility

 

[emblurr]

I was surprised Howlett didn't get any votes.

Hird says he'll play, but they're obviously not sold on his fitness, because he'll either start as sub or be subbed off.

Poor management IMO, and I sure as shit hope we don't lose a guy during the 1st or 2nd as usual and have to keep him out there.

 

[JD11]

you know we will.

The bigger issue is the selection of Melksham - Played 2 games in the NAB Cup Series - Was very rusty in game 1.

TRB have picked two under-done players - And it's a no-brainer that if you pick one player its Zaka.

Melksham has still been running 100% unlike Zaka.

Please

They are both underdone in terms of match fitness - So you select one - And it's a no-brainer.

 

[cAsEy_18]

The fact is Melksham will be able to run out a game though - or should be in theory, because he hasn't stopped running.
I've got my doubts Zaha will be able to run out a half. Will be very limited midfield time if he does.

who would you replace Melksham with?

Melksham has never run a game out - Endurance is his number one issue - A quality half from Zaka is enough.

Kavanagh.

Just as well they've been doing a lot of endurance work this preseason then. With this and a couple of other unexpected selections (Baguley instead of Hardingham, Merret getting a game) it's almost as if TRB have some sort of inside information about certain players that those of us looking in from the outer aren't privileged with.

Did a couple of classy things tonight, but some of his chases were very, very disappointing. As a fresh sub, you would expect him to give 110% when chasing, but he wasn't hungry tonight, and that one instance where Dempsey was giving his all and Zaka was just jogging, it made me sick. Hopefully he's better for the run......go Dons!

To me it looked like he had blown up. He really looked to have no match fitness at all.

 

[whirl]

Possibly the coaches only real error for the night. He looked like he was brought back a week or so too early.
