The only thing i have an opinion on with Misson is that his name is Misson and not Mission.

Frustrates me way more than it should.

Make it your mission to let people know its Misson and they're missin' , with Mission.
And we have a new Miss in , with Tessie McManus, or she could be a Mrs or a Ms, what would i know.

We know nothing until we start playing against other clubs. A lot of players are going to have to step up from last season- not just one or two. I hope RL is tactically better than Ratts, but his game-plan of the late 2000s is probably out of date and I look forward to seeing what he is going to bring to games in 2023. To me anyway, bringing back Lyon plus all his old mates from the past guarantees nothing, so let's see what happens. Of course I want total success!

Ross is a very smart football person. He'll adapt.

Doesn't matter who's doing the role , Lethlean runs everything anyway.

David Mission has been appointed as our GM of football.

After the last couple years having so many injuries and now having players with a few more games under their belt - there is no reason we can't see a massive jump in performance.

1/ Marshall - been no where near his best the last 3 years due to injury / now injury free and fit he will be a huge plus this year playing his role as #1 ruckman.

2/ Gresham - same as Marshall here - battled injury however last year showed he has the ability to be a very good midfielder and if he can stay on the park it will be another win for the team.

3/ Coffield - Clark - unknown how they will perform this year , but if available it will give us a few more options than last year.

4/ Battle - I really feel this guy is about to have a huge season / primed and right age to show his best.

5/ Paton - after coming back last year from a devastating injury he looks bigger and stronger and team will only benefit.

6/ Billings - could Ross get the best out of this guy / we will see.

7/ Other players I'm looking for big things from are Sharman , Bytel and the 2nd yr players Owens , Milera and Windhager.

8/ King - fully expect him to kick more goals than last year with less games - don't feel it will be to hard for him knowing he kicked - 51 goals and 41 points last year.

This is good gear. Well played

I screwed it up, the first one was meant to be Misson.

 

[Saint Ray]

King looking huuuuge, look at the arms on the fella

king is listed at 202cm and Heath at 204 cm. Looking at that picture King is the slightly taller of the two

Someone i know was recently inside the office at Moorabbin and stumbled across the official organisational chart.

I think it’s always deceiving in photos. I swear this forum always examines the pixels of a photo and comes to the conclusion that every player is 2cm taller than the last time they’re discussed. If we add them up Owens must be genuine ruck height and king is Sandilands height

MG posted this just over a year-and-a-half ago:

Max measured 204.7cm this pre season.

He also looks to be clearly taller than the 202cm-listed Ben, here.


Pretty sure he was listed at 204cm in more than one place in his draft year, so I was surprised when he was then listed at 202cm by the club.

Seems extremely likely that he’s around the 205cm mark.

 

[aussierulesrules]

I think it’s always deceiving in photos.

It doesn’t look deceiving at all. It looks extremely clear.

On the other hand Owens doesn’t look like he’s grown, as some have suggested he might, as the 194cm-listed Hayes still looks clearly taller than him.

Ditto Phillipou, who’s shoulders are nowhere near those of Cordy.

I appreciated the effort.

 

[Cairnsman]

If M. Heath could announce himself at some point during the season it would probably be one of the biggest legups our list could receive. I'm stressing one of by yas get me drift. The loss of Paddy will continue to plague us until we find his replacement if that's possible. While I'm on it, his impact alone probably pumped up our wins and made us look a lot better than we were. No wonder Steely loved playing with him.

I would think that it is very clear that King is taller than 202cm and thank you for your post.

 

[Miha]

Max’s eye sockets aren’t aligned and make him look taller

Both Moose and Chito were in bare feet and Cordy had shoulder pads on.

I doubt he plays much, if any senior footy let alone have an impact unfortunately

You might be right, just be nice for once to get a fringe player to come from nowhere and be an emerging star, always have the excuse big men take longer but other clubs then find a player like Jackson...just dreaming of the possibilities

Probably best to invest your energy into someone like Stocker or Byrnes who look closer to regular footy.
