Melbourne Discussion

I wanna see BenKen get another continued opportunity in the 1's, seems to be dominating in the 2's as always but just can't get a consistent run at it in the big league. Mainly for WXVs more than anything but I'm a fan of his :P

It's a pretty grim outlook for him IMO. He's a good player sure, but he doesn't damage enough with his kicks and he's unfortunate that ANB, Harmes, Kent (also stuck at Casey), Bugg and Petracca play basically the same role as him. Could even put Brayshaw and maybe Stretch and Hannan in that category too  :-\

Still, he was the carry over emergency the other day, so he's close.

Bugg is pretty much the new Hayden Ballantyne, loves a seagull goal and a chirp.

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. He's a bit cursed in that Melbourne is fairly blessed with depth in that midfielder/forward position, will be interesting to see what happens going forwards.. When is he contracted till? Likelihood of him searching for more opportunity elsewhere?

Although already being at his second club it would be interesting to see how much interest there is for him among other teams.

I believe he signed a 3 year contract when he came over. I think this is his second year, so he has 1 more IIRC

I laid face down on the floor of my living room for 20 minutes after the siren on Saturday night.

Well done lads, Jack Viney is something else. Insane, give us Jones because Viney is better with the sole capt :P

Had the game ended a minute earlier, I would have too  :-[

Haha, I was pleased with Viney and kinda surprised tbh, because I've been sporting much of the year hashtags like

#NotMyCaptain
#JonesAlwaysMyCaptain

But... credit where credit is due, I was blown away by him!

Brayshaw getting through unscathed in the VFL last night :D but even better, seemed to have had a good game with 23 disposals :)

[Purple 77]

Lever talks starting to get noticeable...

Personally though, don't even feel an ounce of excitement yet. Media has proven to BS merchants for a long time.

[Big Mac]

Still concerned with making finals this year, haven't even thought about the offseason

I'm pretty confident we'll land someone though, just not sure who yet

[Nige]

Corey Maynard debuting this week plus Bernie and Chunk back in for you guys is pretty big, a shame Hogan is out.

[Purple 77]

Maynard! The Petracca look-a-like!

Been putting up some big numbers in the VFL for some time now, I'm led to believe he was starting to hit targets with them only in the last month :P

[Big Mac]

Brayshaw getting through unscathed in the VFL last night :D but even better, seemed to have had a good game with 23 disposals :)

And he's back! Confirmed in this week

[Purple 77]

Gus bus!

Also, totally agree RE: dropping Watts. I know we need to protect this guy, but in all seriousness, I believe Weideman would offer more than Watts has in the past 3 games

[Purple 77]

Oh, I knew there was a reason of why I love you Jess.
