I would be livid if that happened to us. Goody should told him to nick off and give him the mic.How's the numpty Basil Zemp not even allowing Goodwin to speak to the crowd.
You meant 2017, yeah? You genuinely think your list is in better shape than the eventual premiers from that season? Holy moly.
Martin > Petracca
Prestia > Viney
Grimes > Lever
Rance > May
Vlastuin > Hibberd
Houli > Hunt
Riewoldt > Brown
Lambert > Fritsch
Rioli > Spargo
Caddy > Melksham
Astbury > Tomlinson
Edwards > Brayshaw
Butler > Pickett
I’ll give you:
Gawn > Nankervis
Langdon > McIntosh
Oliver > Cotchin
Salem > Ellis (I’m being kind here, they’re both cats)
The rest is essentially depth and our bottom six/role players are by far the best in the league and are widely recognised as such.
And I’ve provided ten better wingers than Langdon. Read the thread.
Well, I think we know who Tom Browne posts as on here now.Goodluck to them did well don't forget there past through.They 100% tanked it bigtime in the past coach and I think a player admitted it yet the afl didn't take no draft picks , but a fine of 500k lool and kept tanking for years typical mediocrity from the afl .Got Roos for nothing basically from the afl and kept getting handouts from the afl $$ .

Basil is an absolute liability. Needs to see himself out.How's the numpty Basil Zemp not even allowing Goodwin to speak to the crowd.
So far off...ha haThe blueprint to beat them is there for everyone to see now. Win the clearance which you can do alot of the time as they generally have one less at the stoppage and kick it where May and Lever are not when going forward. Don't allow Tmac off the chain up forward and force them wide when attacking and you're just about home.
Can't see them winning a prelim if they even make it that far.
and some of us just said hand them the flag, months ago...he heInteresting reading back through some of this. Some were flat out it’s Melbourne’s to lose. Some stayed true to the Melbourne having beaten anyone. Or they only played good teams when they got injuries. Some including many Melbourne supporters just refused to believe. Deep down they did. But we were so used to disappointment we couldn’t believe it.
So what do we make of Melbourne? They’re premiers now. We did it!
I like the Hawthorn one better before the cliff comes into viewThey are going to be hard to knock off for the next 5 years. Very strong echoes of the Geelong era.
To be fair even though they flogged the Dogs I don’t think the Dogs are actually that far off them.They are going to be hard to knock off for the next 5 years. Very strong echoes of the Geelong era.

it wont be in 3-4 yrs years,they'll be contending for top 4 in 9 months time(16 games),they'll need a back up ruck and a tall back tho to take it outYep, I think the Dogs will be a stronger side than they are now in 3-4 years and eventually knock them off once Smith/Naughton/JUH/Darcy all get close to their peaks and Bont is in his late 20's.
Can't see too many road blocks for them in the next 1-3 years though unless they have some injury cruelled years (a possibility obviously)
Not sure Port/Bris/Gee/Rich have that level in them.
Might legitimately win multiples until the Syd/Ess/NM/Ade/GC(?!) group start contending imo.

if they can trade in one of those and then pick up an outlier from the state leagues they're a big show
Will not win a game in the next 6 weeksPeaked in September, won't win a game for several months now.
It's interesting that they won a flag in 2016 with their core mids being super young, have now made a grand final with them being in their prime and are set up to continue at a high level but also reach even higher levels due to the young talls and Smith.Of course the Dogs will continue to contend for the last 3-4 years.
My point being, I don't think their true peak is going to be for 3-4 years.
When the Bont/Macrae/Libba group intersects with JUH/Darcy/Naughton/Smith's group becoming key best 22 players.
I think strongest case of back to back since the Essendon premiership team of 1984. Think it going to take a power of stopping Demons win two in a row.They are going to be hard to knock off for the next 5 years. Very strong echoes of the Geelong era.
