darcy, jackson and the media

Did they not try playing Gawn predominantly forward in games? I'll never forget that prelim they played in Perth when he kicked 5 and the crowd had a Gawny chant going

Gawn doesn't really play forward, he just roams and gets favourable match-ups, usually forward but sometimes back if Melbourne are struggling.

We struggle to hold on to players as is. If a player as important as Darcy wants to stay we pay him - unless he wants a ridiculous contact e.g. the offer made to Naughton by the Swans

I don't understand how that can be a narrative in the media when the year before last, the same Jackson and the same Gawn dominated and won a cup. Just bizarre.

The media are morons.

it's easy for me. Mid season when Darcy and LJ played together and LJ had warmed up to the team, we beat the top 3 teams at the time convincingly and even away. Our structure forward of TAJ at each line, looked hot. It worked very well. IMO, Darcy is integral and worth the $$

TAJ structure is mobile and young.

Jackson is 22, Amiss 20 and Treacy 21. That group can stay together for 10 years.
