The campaign begins.

Damn if I hadn't gone home early I could have walked past that magnificent protest.

King declared on 360 tonight that if he had a larger body of work, he'd have to be the All Australian Ruckman ... hard to argue that.

His actual ruck work aint any other chop but as a follower he can go with any ruck in the AFL

Yeah, they went through a range of stats and where each of the AA contenders rate, and Hitouts to Adv was only one of them. He'd have rated very well in the others.

Except for running.

I've never forgiven him for his inability to go with McEvoy against the Hawks this year.

It's hard to talk about running when you only see the TV angles. Gotta be a reason he keeps getting dropped tho

 

[schmuttt]

Not sure if there is a bloke with a bigger heart in our side. Has turned it around sooo much since he squibbed it.

 

[Pedo 4 Prez]

Best signing of 2017/18. If he works on some more conditioning this off season, he's going to be such a weapon.

The player tracker stats on the AFL app for the game against St Kilda, show Ped is putting in on the running front:

• 3rd for total distance covered (14.4km)
• 3rd for total distance covered at high speed (2.4km)
• 2nd for average speed in attack (8.8km/h)
• 3rd for average speed in defence (8.0km/h)

If his name was Riewoldt or Walker it would be talked about as one of the great games for the year. He was huge.
I've always been a big fan and I still think had circumstances been different he would have been a 200 game 250-350 goal kicker or

Glad to see he's got another year!

In the words of Supermercado, the government online nonce detectors are going to have another year of BigFooty hits.

 

[Cannon82]

Has quietly become one of if not the best player(s) in the AFL. Dangerfield wishes he could do the things Pedo does.

Any reason you picked TJ as your Avatar when you have an obvious option...

So was his contract extension formally announced? I haven't seen it anywhere....

Yes - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...e/news-story/e6085f6dd1b1a403c36ec7220085c397

Not by us yet though

Not formally announced by the club, no. A story in the Hun doesn't count, as good as this news may be.

Odd that the MFC are holding this back?

There it is.

Well earned from the big fella ... Imagine if we went with Dawes instead at the end of last year ...

 

[Dark Avenger]

I would love it if by the end of his career he manages to play 100 games.
