Geelong - Cameron, Neale and Co - As you said, Chapman, Ryan can take Cameron, and the rest aren't that dangerous.
Sydney - Amartey and McDonald - Not sure who takes McDonald, Cox is a poor matchup. Not having Pearce will cost us a goal or 2.
Eagles - Allan and Waterman, if they are fit...
Cox was awful vs Hogan but Draper wasn't any better when caught on him. He tried but simply wasn't strong enough. Same with Curnow as you said. I'd expect McDonald to get beaten, but at least put up a fight.
Reckon Chappy is the guy for Cameron these days. Did some great defensive jobs last...
IIRC the sole person responsible of that was LukeMcDonald. I remember it, he was the reason we lost.
The reason we didn’t win by 10 goals was the likes of Chom et al
...away asking themselves serious questions. Even tho it's not on them I hope it stung and they resolve to not be that weak again.
Maybe LukeMcDonald went away and had good look in the mirror as well.
That's about the best we can get from it now it's five months ago.

Fremantle has completed its final hitout before its clash with the Indigenous All Stars, getting through 100 minutes of match simulation on Friday morning.
Split into 25 minute quarters with a drinks break at the halfway point of each, the players were put through their...

Probs not worst but can’t imagine GAJ being great at the off field captaincy stuff.
100%. The worst I have seen. Hard to say if he would have been better with a better team around him, but doubt he's the best player in his family which say a bit, as Donald wasn't much chop.
appreciate the reply. Yeah, that's an explanation that makes sense. Maybe the dees said 'look Kozzie, it's not a good time right now. Freo spent their currency on Bolton, we can't get you there this year. Maybe next season though'.
I'm not really annoyed at Pickett nor at Freo fans. I'm more...

Good point you make, except don’t know where you got those height numbers from for the Sydney forwards.
Amartey is 197cm, McLean is 198cm and McDonald is 197cm. All three of them are very tall, physical players, with a long reach. I couldn’t agree more that our whole team played shit, but they...

You and I are agreeing on far too much lately ;)
Height is very overrated in defenders. It is but one of many things that impact the quality of a defender and a lot of those other things are adversely affected by additional height (eg kicking skills and agility).
The reason our defenders look...
Well 2024 was a pretty fun year, unless you decided to watch the Dees play footy, but that's all behind us now. With summer only a month away from ending and Melbourne have the O Round bye, it's time to once again decide who in the squad makes up the Best 22 team. This'll mean that people will...
Lets have a look.
Zerk-Thatcher - 195cm
Aliir - 194cm
Bergman - 189cm
Ratugolea - 197cm
McLean - 197cm
Bogan McDonald - 195cm
Amartey - 195cm
It's all a bit close really. I personally think tallness is a bit overrated in footy. I mean, you need it to be a key position, no doubt but Steven...

Thank you so much for all the updates and final report on a work day. Makes it more real for us interstaters.
Really pleased by the Konstanty and Ford reports. Feel like there is room for Konstanty, Ford and RHJ.
Konstanty pre trade vids looked everything we needed, hope that's what we get.
Keen to know more about BGZ from you both.....he appears to have put on some size, how was he moving.
...Used it well, and took a few nice marks. Played forward a bit, but I am sure the younger midfielders are loving having him with us.
LukeMcDonald - I am an LMac fan, always have been, and today I was proud of him. Intercepted on multiple occasions, used it really well and the best part seemed...
Neither are key mids. One is lucky they’re even still considered Best 22.
LDU, Powell, Wardlaw and Philips aren’t fit enough compared to other teams elite mids.
Sheezel could be argued, but he will be thrown around the field.
