Re: Isaac Keeler
Seen him at training - he’s far from fit (injury notwithstanding) He will take plenty of time - which is completely fine Tony74 is a club apologist- happy to hear his info But when’s the last time he criticised the club or players in anyway? Prefer to hear reality- not just what I want to hear! Wel...

Re: Sandringham v Essendon VFL
Here's my take on performances throughout the game. Up To Half Time… Campbell was the dominant big man on the field. Impressive and strong, real workhorse. Bytel was ‘best on’ (by some margin in Q1 but was tagged hard in Q2 which restricted his output. Sharman was impressive and a ‘constant’ through...

Re: John Bonney RIP
Broke his right leg so badly as a teen just played as a one sided left footer!! And was still good enough!! I have very fond memories of John Bonney and especially his foot skills. Memory can play tricks but my recollection is that he was a beautiful kick on either side; in fact he was the best (bo...

Re: Battle 'testing the waters'
I'm convinced Battle was suffering from injury and a loss of confidence this year. He was on the tram tracks - couldn't turn, had no pace, seemed lost in the game (except against Richmond). With that said, he basically has the same physical specifications (193, 89kg) as Jack Darling (191 cm, 95 kg)...

Re: When was the last time members got to vote ...
... on who was on the board? I think this is an important discussion. Clubs often tell members how valuable the member is. And substantially that is true. 50,000 members equates to a lot of income. However when it comes to elections there always seems to be an eerie silence. I was intrigued by a co...

SOS Tony Lockett
It really is time to get specialist help for our forwards. I have 3 nominations. First up I’d be on the phone to our greatest ever goalkicker, Tony Lockett. I wonder if a call has ever been made. What a coup it would be to get him back to Moorabbin. There is no doubt Lockett has rekindled some of hi...

Re: Practice Match v North Melbourne 25th February
Great debut year for Boomer. One game. Donuts. Didn't touch the ball. Fresh, straight in and has stayed there ever since. Similar goals per game average. Boomer took a number of year's to make an impression. In fact, their careers are following similar trajectories. That's why I made the comparison...

Re: Darragh Joyce - the forgotten Saint.
This guy never gets a mention. At 195cm and very athletic, he has been at the club for 3 years and is now 23 years old. IMO he has shown some promising signs in his 3 AFL games. Can play key position back and forward. Any chance of a game in 2021? Clearly not a favourite son amongst the fans here, ...

Re: How do we Miss out on the Eight
wrong only 50 odd points in total! I suspect a loss by us of 3 goals and a win by Melbourne of 3 goals would bring us pretty close together. There’s not a great margin for error. Any loss would likely put us at serious risk. It actually depends on more than the margin. A 10-point loss, for example,...

Re: Changes v Lions
I disagree Jack Sinclair has been an important lineman since he came back and doesn’t waste a possession. He’s in my team too. When he wins a contested ball he has the rare ability of finding an option outside the traffic. (Bytel has shown signs of this too). He has a harder edge than some give him...

Re: Paddy McCartin
There’s an element of romance about players such as Paddy. I am sure we all wish him well. But even when fit he was never the forward we had hoped for. There were some glimmers but that was all. I couldn’t see him returning to us as a forward. But if he was thrown a ‘life line’ then I might trial hi...
