I have that sort of Hawthorn feeling with Melbourne now that if someone gets injured/dropped, that they can come in and do just as good of a job that the person before them has.

Likewise. It's really nice that we have depth :D

I'd say we have depth everywhere except tall defenders... I'd really like TMac to get a permanent chop out as a second defender, where he played his best football last year. I mean, the number 1 defender doesn't even have to be that good; I loved Dunn, but he provided that "general" down back which really benefits TMac's game.

I'm actually kinda interested in getting Nathan Brown as a free agent... assuming the likely scenario where we don't get Hurley.

:(

Does he get delisted EOS Barra, Mac?

Or do we give him a courtesy contract for another year?

Or do we rookie him?

Big Mac · June 18, 2016, 03:01:49 AM

Not entirely his fault, but will be delisted I think :-\

Even if he was fit, he doesn't really have a place/role in the 22 does he?

Bit unfortunate for him.

Yeah. Jeffy, BenKen, Kent, Harmes and Petracca are all ahead of him as the small forwards/wing role.

He'd have to do a Nev Jetta and become a small defender IMO

He's a got a good head on his shoulders though, so you never know.

One of the 4 I wanted to see re-sign :D

Only Jesse, Watts and TMac to go

Phwoah, I legitimately love his 10 disposals per game, and I mean that sincerely!

Oliver probably comes back in before him which could see him get another game in the VFL. The issue is obviously his pace/agility, no surprise really although I figured Roos would play him off half back or as a marking half forward to counter this somewhat.

How good has Matty Jones been this season!? :o

I think he has had a much improved season, definitely!

But that mistake is still fresh in the mind...

Barra13 · July 04, 2016, 06:41:53 PM

Haha I knew that would get brought up. Without that, it was a good game by him I thought.
