Priddis would be their best midfielder

Priddis MK 2 - Cripps had 6 tackles

Mick has very little cattle to work with anymore. However I would have persisted with Casboult over that pea heart Jones

No point in casboult playing afl until he learns to kick . Nothing more disheartening to a team than busting your ass for the bloke on the end to keep shanking them.
Do agree jones is a spud .
Problem is the biggest pea heart is their captain

So much this. Lost count the number of times he backed away from a contest and panicked under pressure. He'd fit right in with our lot.

 

[Beutbrute]

I wonder if we could pry Yarran from the blues?

Thoughts Casboult was ok in the ruck, but guessing Mick is going to prefer having both Wood and Warnock in they won't do that.

Agree on Murphy, I have never rated him, and never will. Both he and Gibbs have zero hurt factor in their games. Their list management since Mick took over tells the story though, they have either drafted poorly or traded away handy players.

and a stack of handballs, rather priddis-like

I thought their trade period was good in they traded pick 7 for jaksch , Wiley and pick 18 .
Then they passed on Laverdae and picked boekhorst . Time will tell

Am I the only one who thinks Mzungu is dead average?

Just a good average player, unlucky not to be getting a game.

1st time I`ve seen USA NFL Draft this morning on fOXTELS ESPN and the Americans sure do put on a show ..

I think that more people are starting to realise that there is a significant gap between the upper echelon of midfielders such as Ablett, Fyfe, Kennedy, Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Hodge etc. and others that are precieved to be in the elite category.

Nah he's pretty shit.

 

[SpaceClef]

They have deficiencies everywhere? I thought he looked quite good tonight in his limited gametime

They have a few outside flanker types as it is, they need some inside ability and it was a good draft. Boekhorst looks ok but the kind of player a top 4 side picks up in the second round of a strong draft

Hodge isn't an elite midfielder...

Elite midfielders are those that still dominate when getting the tag

Hodge goes to water when someone plays on him in the midfield

That doesn't make him a poor footballer, just not an elite midfielder.

Murphy and Gibbs are awful. Simpson is very outside but that's his role and he gives it everything. Murphy and Gibbs are soft in every way.

 

[SpaceClef]

They should trade out Walker as well. Delist Wood, Ellard, Armfield, Jones. So many crustaceans

I was watching it this morning as well, was pretty interesting. Would be great to see the AFL draft get that much spotlight, but I don't think it is feasible.

Simpson is outside but when it's his turn to go, at least he does. Gibbs and Murphy treat contact like this dog and the lemon.

Yeah. Right.

I don't think our players like him for some reason. Always gets into fights with our blokes.

 

[kane249]

I've wondered why Casboult isn't played down back, is obviously a strong contested mark and a decent field kick.

 

[lewigie]

I'm happy to see Rance getting smashed. Still not over the joke of a decision of him being AA last year over McKenzie.

Rance gets beaten time and time again.

Dogs getting it done again today

Also how shit are Richmond
