Maybe the thyroid issue has beaten him about more than anyone thought?

That is what i'm thinking

What was JKH injury?

Repeat hamstring tears. Not a surprise they're taking it very easy with him.

When is his contract done?

End of this year.

End of this year.

Is he one that may be on the chopping block?

Think so. He and Terlich the obvious two.

 

[Topkent]

Grimes Terlich JKH Matt Jones and Michie are all gone

ANB, Dunn, Garland, Dawes will be avaliable for trade

And Matt Jones Topkent

And Matt Jones Topkent

Good timing ^^^

Couch dominated at casey for a year, won our B&f convincingly and came second in the liston

Crouch recruited as a 24 year old
Neal Bullen only just 20


....

Can see similarities in games although think ANB has a little more class.

 

[The Dr]

ANB is a must keep for mine. He'll be coming into his prime just as Nathan Jones is slowing down in a couple of years

Oh I rate ANB a lot higher

Was just being a smart arse in response to someone saying an MFC player hasnt done it in a decade

 

[Pedantic]

Strange though. They normally do limited minutes in the seniors (viney, trac etc). The missus said she thinks he's the first "actual melbourne player" to play in development this season.

Smith played dev league last week on limited minutes after a few weeks out.

End of this year.

JKH has another year to go.

I reckon Jones has already started slowing down Doc. He was pathetic last week. Started playing like a chip scab Gary Ablett I thought. He should be thriving this year now he's not the only mid opposition sides need to focus on. I've been really disappointed. It almost looks like he has the cue in the rack and is looking forward to Roos finishing up.

That's a ridiculous over-reaction. He was really poor at the weekend but has played reasonably consistent, solid footy all year. Maybe not at his best, but for him, at a B+ level imo.

It's just an opinion. I've been disappointed in his output this year. Going to be line ball whether he'll finish top 5 in the BnF. I reckon Gawn, Viney and Watts will finish ahead of him. Plus any of Hogan, Nev or TMAC could as well. I wonder if he's having any issues with his neck. I know he's said it is okay but players always do that in-season.

Agree he was poor against the saints, but reckon his middle part of the year was very good.

Has been making some uncharacteristic mistakes with ball in hand though, usually very composed in traffic but has been feeding out hospital handballs and scrub kicks.

Why would you trade ANB? He has shown great development, at the moment is just on the fringe of our best 22. One more good preseason and another year of developing I can see him in our best 22 like stretch has done this year.

If you traded ANB you'd barely get what we used to draft him (pick in the 40s) and then risk drafting a dud who you'd have to develop for 2 more years.

'Actual Melbourne player' lol she wasn't including rookies or people who haven't played for us

Fair enough, thought you meant anyone on the Melbourne list.

 

[DemonTim]

Nah, she wasn't being disparaging, just separating blokes who play for Melbourne regularly from the ones who won't for a while or can't. She rates smith highly. As do I. For a kid from bball (even though he grew up with footy) he has a lot of footy smarts. Will be a decent player I reckon.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

It would be lunatic to trade ANB if he doesn't demand out. Our midfield depth isn't that good yet.
