Re: Jaxons come on down (2017/18 thread)

Why would anyone with a brain want to live on the northside of Melbourne. Bayside for me any and every day of the week. Lygon Street is the furtherest north I ever venture and the only very very occasionally. Yes it's beautiful down there when the seweridge runs into the bay..... King in the north ...

Mav Weller news

There are some whispers that Weller is being offered to the Lions and Norf for draft picks or maybe one of their players. One option involves giving the pick to Doggies in exchange for Stringer. The source is credible. It may not happen, of course, but the coaches have apparently all agreed that Mav...

I heard JK is now coming. The planets and stars are aligning to head back home to bayside Melbourne for him. I know I would take the lovely bayside Melbourne over western Sydney. Total no brainer.

Re: lonie considering other clubs

Billings is a bit more than a small forward. He's a mid size hit up that can take a contested mark. Much less flashy than a typical small forward as he does not rely on the fall of the ball to get his looks. Minchington has much more upside. Bigger body, probably just as quick...can read it well an...

Jaxons is Lenny Hayes :shock: I heard he is the head janitor at Seaford. Jaxons, not Lenny Hayes. The question should be: Will the club hold onto Jaxons when it relocates back to Moorabbin? I'm fearful Jaxons will be requesting a trade to Arden Street, as North are after a new head janitor. I belie...

Re: Josh Kelly; a "Messiah"?

The hype over Kelly is widely acknowledged to be just ONE element missing in the jigsaw. Everyone barking and getting hard over Kelly is also saying the coaches need to get much much better, or be replaced. And they want Paddy to come good, or replace him with a gun forward. I don't see anyone sugge...

Re: lonie considering other clubs

If you read the article it basically says he was offered one year by us and is looking to see if he can get a longer one elsewhere. He won't be but he may be added to any deal done with GWS so hopefully we can see the back of him. Best case scenario he trains his arse off pre season and become capa...

Last night is exactly the reason we do need Kelly In a team that was comprehensively out played and beaten he still brought his A-Game to the table.

Re: Bruce Accuracy

I remember that final against the Cats in early 90's at Arctic Park,
my seat was behind the goals, high up in the stands.
in the last qtr. Loewe marked about 50 out
Plugger motioned to him to go for it
and with perfect smooth fluid technique, it went through at post height.

Terry Smith - you are 100% correct. I think Josh Bruce is a great player who gives his all. For those of you old enough to have seen Stewart Loewe's kicking in his early days, my god it was dreadful.

No idea what he is worth on the open market...but the talk is he'll re-sign with GWS. Little bit soft for my liking...I reckon that player Collingwood picked up of a similar ilk (tall lanky frame) was the better bet for that type of player. Can't think of his name Anyways Where is JAXONS?!?! an adv...
