What has happened to Begley? In his first few games he was awesome. Hard at it, 2nd and 3rd efforts, ran straight at goal and kicked truly. He looked like a ready made AFL player.

Wasn’t the team playing poorly with Hooker forward and improved out of site when he went back?

He played some good football. His biggest problem was his body holding up. If they got Jenkins, I can understand his contract not being renewed. Any chance they are looking at Henderson as a replacement?

Bring the youngsters along by setting elite standards on the training track, hating when Dons lose, respected and not being a Prima Donna. This is not necessarily the best players.

If our window to win finals is now, I am disappointed we didn’t get an extra forward and a big bodied, aggressive mid fielder. Jenkins and Bonar were there for the taking. Can’t rely on Browns soundness, McKernan’s inconsistency and Joe who doesn’t want to be there. And we don’t appear to have...

Given the lack of effort Sydney put in to getting Joe on board, I suspect that Joe approached the Swans rather than Swans approaching Joe.

Q: "Is Jenkins definitely a No?" A: "No" Double negative = "Yes"?

Is Jenkins definitely a No?

Reckon Browns major issue is soundness. Limped off early in final after starting well. McKernan’s issue is consistency. Jenkins is completely sound, has a big tank and consistent.

Reckon Bombers are too accepting of guys that have average to poor disposal skills. Would be nice to get some silk in that department. Don’t reckon we will ever threaten until we get that.

I reckon Sydney would love to get him but are not phased if they don’t. They got Buddy for pick #18 and expected more of the same (favourable trade deal) from Daniher. As for Daniher, I’m pretty pissed off with him requesting the trade while he is still under contract. He has been paid the big...

If Dons were to get players in return for Joe (in addition to #5), guys like Heeney are born and bred in NSW and would never want to shift to Melbourne. Florent is small bodied but was playing great football at the end of 2019. Lots of run and 2nd and 3rd efforts. And he is a Melbourne boy...

Reckon Laverde really started to show something in the 2nd half of the season. He started kicking more accurately... looked much more relaxed. And he won a lot of one on ones. His handpass to Walla against North to win the game was an example of his class. Reckon he is on the up big time...

Not true about Jenkins. Reason why he gets in behind the defence to score goals is that he is a gut runner. His defender cant keep up. McKernan improved a lot this year, but his final against West Coast was a freaking disgrace. We were relying on him so much to play well. He had 1 possession to...

We had no chance of succeeding in 2019 with a rabble of a leadership group. Heppell, Merrett, Myers, Daniher, Fantasia Seeing Hurley play with a sore shoulder and literally cry when we lost (as did Hooker), those 2 are the first selected for 2020. We don't need any prima donnas in 2020...
