Mega Thread General MFC Discussion Part III

I don't think he's best 22 by the end of the year necessarily which makes him primed for a trade away. Can't play Weid Brown and Jackson together I don't think.

Beg to differ TK.

In the season of 2022, our talls will be aged... >

LJackson 20.6,
ABradtke 21.10, HPetty 22.5,
Weideman 24.9,

-------------------
ATomlinson 28.8,
BBrown 29.4, TMc 29.6, SMay 30.3, MGawn 30.3,
MBrown 31.7, MDaw 31.1,

As anyone can see from this; Weide won't be going anywhere, but to be in rednblue.

Ben browns born in 92, did you think you could add a year for a dramatic effect? Also Weid is 25?

Is any of this right? Lol

Ha Ha, touchy aren't we. a simple mistake. and edited.

People are really spaffing over McDonald's second good game since 2018. And he kicked six in the other one.

Interesting that some are already writing off one of our better players from last year and projecting trading him after round 4.

How many losses will it take for you to all resume cracking eachother's heads open and feasting on the goo inside?

For a guy who acts all that your comprehension on this one is pretty piss poor.

You do realise there's a very very good chance neither McDonald or Weid are in our best side. Brown and Jackson with Fritta is already a tall forward line so no one's 'spaffing' over Tmac. In fact he was already being moved to other spots.

No one said to trade out Weiderman, not a single person. There's a difference between trading out and between a 24 year old key who sees better opportunities elsewhere because Brown and Jackson are infront of him

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Same guy slamming TMac who is happy to carry Jones to 300 yea? Where is the consistency Tulip ? Where is it?!?!

 

[Billy Demon]

Great to see contract extension for Clarry. Can’t lose a guy who is capable of 30 plus disposals on a regular basis. Maybe better the devil you know etc. Yes disposal has been a problem but that can be sorted . You would want someone pretty special in return to trade him IMO.

Waiting all week for games is easier when we are bad. Our bye week is going to really suck.

Can anyone advise on ticketing?
I got 3 tickets in bay M4 (punt Rd end). Someone on FB said that that is the Hawks cheer squad end for this match.

Anyone know the deal on this? I thought the away team had the pt rd end and the home team had the city end?

Only Collingwood take the city end for their home games.

Thanks... well this will be fun...

I got Melbourne to finish in the top 8 rolled into Clarry to win the brownlow medal for $51 in the pre season. Im not hating that bet all

Missed out on MCC reserved tickets for the semi-final so was stuck sitting level 4 in the pocket of the Great Southern Stand surrounded by Hawks supporters. Had a great time

All this talk about TMac fitting in and playing on a wing. easy fix get Jones to 300 and **** him off. I dont even know what role Jones is playing but I'm sure TMac can take that role and be better at it. we lose nothing by playing the extra tall if it's TMac taking Jones spot. keep dump kicking that ball over 40m to get an effective kick old chap.

Jones has been better this year but honestly you're not wrong.

Jones, like Sparrow and Jordan are basically interchange. They are there to hold the fort while other players are having a spell. If it were 20 years ago they would be spending 60-70% of the game on the bench.

You could probably drop any of them and not lose much but my question is who do you replace them with?

BBB comes in for one,
Then potentially Hibbo for another (ignore the balance but clearly he’d be better)
Then hope one of Laurie or Bowey force their way in

 

[Toump Ass]

I don't mind Jones this year. Kicked a nice goal against the Saints, averaging close to 15 touches and his disposal has been (much) better than last year.

MacDonald was mostly good on the weekend, but I'm still filthy at his piss-poor marking effort from the week before.

Re: Weed, from memory he's been trash in the VFL before stepping up once he's recalled to the seniors.
Puts his body on the line, and that's important for me.

You need to maintain structure still. Happy with Brown and Hibberd coming in I'd still drop Sparrow and Jordan for them before Jones and move Tmac to a wing but then I'm not really sure what you do with Gus. We probably need to bring Petty in against a taller forward line which pushes someone else out of the backline as well.

Laurie and Bowey still a while away it appears.

... isn't that what we're doing now?

Still plenty of time to go bad before the bye week!

Being a disgustingly biased homer might actually pay.

It's a strange feeling us trying to squeeze players into the team this year, rather than the easy 2+ omissions we could usually count upon most weeks

 

[LeverPuller]

We still can’t fit all of Jacko, BBB, Weid and TMac IMO. One has to go at some point

[00Stinger]

could a good portion of our improvement this year come from the second year that Burgo has had to get our players primed?

The defensive efforts have improved out of sight and fitness would have to play a big part in this

Also we have ben pretty lucky with soft tissue injuries compared to other teams
