People want to reinvent the wheel.

I think it works pretty ******* well as a circle.

square wheels were never that efficient

 

[GarnerSmash]

hearing Scott talk about him you can just tell he wants him in the 22.

He's not alone:

Colbert said he hopes Tarrant can seize his opportunity in the Roos’ defensive half this year and add to his 39-game AFL tally.

“I don’t know if it’s necessarily about a statement but I’d just love to see Tarrant get a free run at it,” Colbert toldNMFC.com.au in a past player survey.

“If they get him on the field, I guarantee them a top-four (finish).

“If he gets a free run body-wise, he can certainly hold down centre half-back and that’ll just mean the Firrito’s of the world can play on more guys his size.”

11. Complete the following sentence: If NMFC wins the Grand Final, I will:
Celebrate with the team for a week and go on their end-of-season footy trip.

That's nice of him to invite himself along!

Scans have given defender @tazza_25 the 'all clear' after a knock to the knee in yesterday's match. @NMFCOfficial

The guy has barley played for two years and hasn't played in defence for over at least three, needs match conditioning and will be better for it. Didn't really lose any one on ones strength wise, just ran under it and went to ground a few times, kicking and fitness are fine.

How many goals were kicked on him?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

2-3, one was on a fast break from a lead, one to walker off the ground, I think there was another when he pushed under it and got one out the back.

Get him off the barley and over to *Tullamarine and he'll be the next Zeus.

Just finished watching Sunday's game, I thought he looked much more polished this time around. Should play Round 1.

His marking is feature. Imagine Lachie, wright, Thompson and him intercept marking.

But... concrete hands?!

But... concrete hands?!

Pfft, no longer a concern, Petrie's though (and his concrete feet), mmm.

 

[Donkey Chop]

I was pleasantly surprised by his game on Sunday. Im still not convinced on him but it would be great if makes it. I see him as a Rance type

Super attitude.

Never heard Scott Thompson called 'Turbo' before and now I've heard it three times in a week.

I have heard it, last year is when it started l believe.

I'm hoping for a Chris-like resurgence in the backline.

Ideally without the Chris-like brief Freo phase.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Watching his highlights, it was treating seeing his intercept marking, his quick and big (that's what she said) and very agile for a big bloke (that's what zondor said:stern look). Just needs time and a little patience, I'm glad brad is backing him in.

Nah, definitely been around a while mate.
