Looking forward to this one.

Looking forward to this one.

I tipped Richmond but I hope they get smashed.

Ha. I tipped Richmond and hope they smash the Eagles. Freo is my 'imagine-what-it-would-be-like-to-be-top-4' team this year.

Question to the Demons jury, if you had your pick would you take Dylan or Jack Grimes?

 

[Cannon82]

"He doesn't make too many mistakes, Rancey."

If you have Alzheimers.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

2 seasons ago he made TMAC look cool, calm and collected.

 

[Cannon82]

Terrible from Cripps then.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

Really pleased we took Scully and Trengove ahead of Martin.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Twice everyone stops and the ump lets Martin keep going.

First one he stopped after the mark 5 meters over the mark then took off and it was play on.

 

[RandB]

Really pleased we took Scully and Trengove ahead of Martin.

To think though Richmond couldn't trade him for peanuts a couple of years ago. The wheel turns.

I don't think they ever wanted to trade him. I think k his manager got a bit ahead of himself and started whoring Dusty around. The AFL intervened though lol. I think they realised that it would **** the tiggas so Vlad was having none of it. Was an extraordinary intervention in hindsight.

You're right in that they didn't originally want to trade him. I think once they realised Dusty was whoring they sat back to see how much interest there actually was. Not that much.

Can I have Jack in a top eight team?

 

[deeco]

How Rance gets away with just Sos'ing a guy in this day and age without giving away a BILLION free kicks a round is ridiculous

 

[Demon 16]

Good point, well made.

 

[d33my]

Good point, well made.

I phrased it in a cutesy way, but (if people will allow me to elaborate) I genuinely believe J Grimes is the kind of hard-at-it shutdown player that would really sit well in a top-4 team back pocket role.

Having said that, his brother plays his role well too. But I wouldn't have thought he'd look the same in our team. To be completely fair I haven't watched as much of Dylan as I have of Jack though.

I guess I would just love to see what Jack could do in a better team, because his deficiencies (namely decision making/kicking) would just about disappear when he has better cattle around him.

The correct answer is: whoever can stay healthy for a whole season

 

[Cannon82]

Rance is a donkey, but you don't pay a free kick against a bloke for throwing the ball back to you a bit aggressively. Sack the umpire.

 

[d33my]

Umpiring has been questionable at best. How about that one against Kennedy that was called 50 straight away? Don't they usually give the player a chance to come back a metre? Sometimes more than one chance.

I must admit, I thought you were making the opposite point.

I don't think Hawthorn have any ball butchers in their back half - or anywhere for that matter.

Wasn't sure where to post this.
I've started a season on afl live 2 with Melbourne and have decided to only use the players brought in during the Roos era and Hogan

FB: Newton -- Frost -- Hunt

HB: Lumumba -- McDonald -- Tyson

CT: Vince -- Neale-Bullen -- Salem

HF: Michie -- Vberg -- Stretch

FF: JKH -- Hogan -- Garlett

RR: King -- Brayshaw -- Petracca

Int: Harmes -- Riley -- Cross
Sub: White

What sort of trades should I make during the offseason. I have a rule that I only take 1 player from an opposition club.

Immediate needs I can see are
Ruck
CHF

 

[Bluelegs]

The fact that Carlton are playing like this now that Malthouse has left proves how much wrong there is with that club.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

I'm not sure how Panozza is captain of the Scorps. He really looks out of his depth.

Get someone like Leuenberger and Dixon.

 

[Bluelegs]

How on earth did we get toweled up by Port? They're a mess.
