Crocker is rubbish did sweet stuff all at Collingwood or Adelaide vfl specialist.

Rubbish probably isn't a fair description tbh.
What is it exactly that you don't rate about his game?
If nothing else, he's positioning himself as best as he can to give it a real crack, which I certainly respect.

Port throwing all sorts of crazy money at Merrett to sway him.

Will make him the highest paid player on their list by a long way, and one of the highest paid in the comp for the next two years.

In the event that he doesn’t stay loyal to Essendon, that deal will take some beating.

It’s strange that these types of conversations are now happening even before the season starts - scary path we are heading down.

Players have been identified/targetted a long way out, for some time now, especially with the introduction of FA

He's malaka

I liked.....Honey - raw

nec minit ...Honey - sweet

and then....Honey - pure

Can Honey go on the wings?

 

[CJMB]

Can Honey go on the wings?

Maybe with some soy, but I'm not a huge fan, particularly when it's the pre-marinated garbage.

Give me a good dry rub (Kosmos Q 'Dirty Bird') cooked in the weber with high indirect heat or the classic buttermilk deep fried with buffalo sauce (plus blue cheese sauce & a couple of sticks of celery).

He's a tweener. Gets into good positions at VFL level, but at AFL level he's that bit too slow, too small and not evasive enough. Think, a small forward version of Nick Graham.

 

[Ash24]

He's a spud mate

Regardless of his performances on the field, at the end of the day he's been on 2 more AFL lists than you have mate.

I suppose it becomes a matter of where instead of what, then. Does he want to stay in Melbourne, or is the difference between the various offers he's going to get worth changing cities, or does it matter to him at all?

We'll see, I guess. Only thing is, I'm not sure - beyond needing good players the way all clubs need good players - that Merrett's a need for Port. Don't they have Rozee, Butters, Duursma, all of whom play that midfielder/forward role already in the ones to a terrific extent? They swoop on Merrett, does one of them sit out?

 

[Arr0w]

Could you just imagine this place if a Cuners, SPS, Fisher, Fogarty, JSOS type kicking 4 or 5 snags in a scratchy

Thanks mate - I am quite familiar with him as a player & was interested in the Blues picking him up prior to his stint with the Pies.
I was just wanting the other poster to expand on his comments as I find "he's a spud" or outright referring to a player as rubbish to be a shitful appraisal.
My preference is that the club picks up McDonald but whoever ends up on the list will have earned their place and as such I will support them.

His pedigree and background alone should make it an easy choice.

300 of his family members once held off an incoming Persian army at Thermopylae.

Admittedly, this all took place in 480BC which was before the AFL changed the interchange cap.

He's had a fair bit on his plate throughout his career which with the death of his father might have eased a bit. Probably not the answer but good luck to him if he can get on our list.

Was thus about the time that Lazarus made his comeback? Reckon the toumpas one is less likely.

He's a smart forward who is quick in a straight line, strong in his contested work and has a mean kick and sidestep. He could probably do some damage at stoppages too, so I see him as an upgrade on Kennedy for the most part.

 

[iAsbestos]

You'd made that opinion obvious, I asked what about his game makes you think that he's a complete write-off?

Go watch his games.

 

[BlueJet]

Ok Boomer.

You were asked to expand on a comment that you had made and were found wanting, there's nothing remotely "Boomer" about that - ffs you can't even talk s**t right.

I wonder whether Waterman can be pinched ...like some team finishing below Essendon just names him...or does Essendon have 1st dibs.. I doubt whether he signed the contract as yet..i'd be great to serve Dodo some sh*t back 4 mucking around so many other teams at trade time

The SSP period has no connection to last year's ladder.

If they haven't been training with us, it's fair to say they won't be considered for selection.

I haven’t watched the praccy match yet, but assume he went alright?
Had a really good WAFL season and looked like a good selection for the train on period.

I still think a wingman is a massive need. Walsh is too good to play there and all the other options seem to be not top end talent or have fairly big holes in their game to play there, mostly running ability. LOB is the one obvious hope but outside of that it’s slim pickings imo

I'd love to get a top level coach's view on the importance of the wing position as the game has transitioned from 1-1 to zones, possession and field position.

My theory - I reckon it's a role that's gone from lower priority in a team to an absolute key specialist role in successful sides.

Walsh is one outlier of a player on so many levels - but I reckon wing is one of those positions that now needs serious footy IQ - matched with serious athletic ability - something I just don't think you get from most guys who've only been in the system for a couple of years.

I'd be very tempted get Martin, Walsh and Newnes spending equal times on our wings. Willo could end up there - but I reckon he plays half-back for a couple more years to really learn his craft.

I think it comes down a lot to a sides game plan.
Someone like Richmond have a very limited player like mcIntosh being a very important player simply because his role requires being a great athlete and not a lot of skill needed. I think the types we play there will be entirely dependent on our game style. We might need skilful players there if we require our wings to hit up forwards which Richmond don’t. Setterfield looked good there yesterday but who knows he might be lined against Hill next week and be forced wider and get burnt up and down the ground. Other weeks he might play a more contested/congested game which will suit him to a tee.
