Play Nice Dustin Martin to North | 31/8: DM signed at RFC for 1.3m/7yrs

[shinboner magic]

The Dusty thread on the Tuggers board is a good laugh. Would read again

Summary thanks

 

[North Viking]

Would've preferred mini Ben10 punching mini Bernie Vince in the guts, but Blighty will do.

I thinks it's sad that the only north icon they could take was one from over 30 years ago.

What about BBB you idiots?

He was last year. Mini Lindsay getting the games committee to change the rules again would've been good.

Didn't make the cut last year though

I was just saying the exact same thing to Charlie!

A little Hansen mowing the lawn would have been gold!

Oh well. At least we got someone and didn't need to see the mini danger or Rance.

I think that would amount to child abuse.

Summary thanks

Just like this thread, but with the opposite point of view.

 

[The Dingrel]

I've said it before, I'll say it again....


IT'S HAPPENING!!!

Well for what it's worth, my mum and her side of the tribe who are rusted on Bulldogs fans have vowed to buy NMFC memberships if we land both dusty and Kelly. Cant be half bad for memberships, converting the inconvertible.

 

[The Dingrel]

Or, if I was in his shoes, I'd want to see if you can win finals. I am not trying to take the piss. But if I was him I would be hanging out to see if the side I have been in and flopped in finals, has changed. What if he re-signs and Tigers flop again? He could count his money still I guess. But for me personally, it would be a huge factor.

He's already experienced it 3 times. You'd want to see if its going to be the same ol' same ol' or not.

As much as I agree, gotta make the finals before you can win em. Let's hope for a quick bounce back up the ladder with josh and dusty in the royal blue and white!

My favourite part of the melt-a-thon was suggesting that we have an aging backline and using the examples of tarrant, thompson, and williams. Yep, 24 year old Marley williams. Not to mention Tarrant is only 5 months older than their lord and saviour Rance.

In my opinion our best back 6 would be:
Marley - Tarrant - Nielson
EVW - Thompson - Wright
Average age: 25.53 (using footywire)

Now i don't follow Richmond intimately but their back 6 last week was:
Broad - Rance - Grimes
McIntosh - Astbury - Vlastuin
Average age: 25.17 years
(Richmond supporters will probably come in kicking and screaming and say Ellis plays back or something of that nature - well if that is the case and he swaps with Vlastuin or McIntosh it will increase the average age.

Now if i include our other listed defenders:
Durdin
Mullet
JMac
Hansen
Watson
Hibberd
Average age equals = 24.5

If i include Richmonds:
Bachelor (soon to be delisted)
Houli
Short
Hunt (soon to be delisted)
Markov
Ellis
Morris (soon to be delisted)
Garthwaite
Average age = 24.8

So not only do we have a younger backline but it will only decrease in age when we get rid of either hansen or thompson. The good thing about our list management is we have Nielson, Durdin, potentially McKay, and Watson developing to take over our key position players.

Richmond have Rance, Astbury and a bunch of third talls in grimes, mcintosh, garthwaite, and broad who could step up if needed. They are lucky that Astbury and Rance have stayed injury free this year. They currently have no developing KPD's.

But our backline is aging and our defenders are s**t...

Take a look at the ladder.

.

Just pointing out the ladder suggests your backline is s**t.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Just pointing out the ladder suggests your backline is s**t.

It actually suggests our midfield and forwards often don't apply enough pressure around the ground which leaves our backs out to dry… but your comeback argument was superb man. Well thought out.

[shinboner magic]

Just like this thread, but with the opposite point of view.

Yeah but we are potentially gaining a new player and no chance of losing a player we already have

 

[the big lebowski]

Just pointing out the ladder suggests your backline is s**t.

Nah s**t midfield

But we are addressing that

 

[El Triggso]

Just pointing out the ladder suggests your backline is s**t.

If you want to conduct superficial analysis, it could be put to you that the last 30 years says your whole club is s**t.
