Lacked speed big time as you said to many one paced.Menadue is in our best 22.

No he isnt, best 28 maybe

Best 22 definitely not

I respectfully disagree. I think if he was given the same opportunity as say Kamdyn, he would show he is close to best 22. Last year he gave us a lot of run and broke the lines before he got injured and then never made his way back into the side. He is a classy player.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Can’t say that he’s best 22 yet but I do agree he deserves a shot. I don’t understand what Macintosh is providing at the moment to not give someone from the vfl a shot and my first choice there would be menadue on the wing.

My last memories of Menadue in the seniors was thinking he was perhaps the most petrified and sooky bloke I had seen in a long time.

However, seems as though he's been having a good dip in the 2's. At some point form has to be rewarded and poor form punished (McIntosh, Dirge, Butler)

How did you manage to confuse Menadue with BEllis - they look nothing alike..... :huh

It's the premiership medal I saw Bellis wearing around his neck last September. :shh

Speaking of the BEllis - his punishment is up. Looking forward to seeing him back this week.

He was our best player in the first half last week from a few reports and was taken off early in in the 2nd half in case he was needed for the senior game.

I know you hate the guy, but do a little research :shh

Carey tonight on Talking Footy reckons Eagles players were deliberately slapping Dusty's arm before tackling him.

From Barrett's 'Sliding Doors' column:

   
IF ... we judge Dusty on now near-impossible benchmarks ...

THEN ... so be it, that's what happens to the all-time greats. But he's still ticking along extraordinarily well on the benchmarks applied to 99 per cent of his peers.

Be careful with that method of ID.

I saw a photo of Broady's premiership medal being worn with pride but I am fairly certain it wasn't Broady's neck.
