As an side to your aside, both (Cogs and Foley) can be put down to indept decisions made by Coaching staff.
You may recall Cogs being put back on the ground with an ACL? Just simply boggles the mind how this wasnt picked up upon inspection.
You may also recall various posts, rumours, articles, hyperbole surrounding Wallets use of Foley when injuried to prolong the inevitable.
We have had so many self obsessed so called "leaders" come through this place that have set us back 10 years.
Makes a grown man cry!
yes , against Hawthorn in launceston for Cogs I think . As i remember it he did it the second time slipping in the shower during pre season . That was after very poor handling of the OP he had as well I think .doherz said:
Bad memories for sure .

That could be said for every player in the league.
Coughlan and Brown's injuries are nothing like Foleys and I see no need to set expectations for Foley based on their failures to return to full flight. I am setting my expectations to what I know Foley is capable of.
..... and Edwards . This guy is close to a break out year , he was very good for most of 2010 and will just get better imo .jmj said:
That's what i mean by a developing 2nd tier , Morton , Edwards , Grigg , Houli and hopefully Conca . Its exciting ! How long is it since we had a midfield that could truly compete ?

Not only that, but IMO quite a few people are rightly changing their view that 'midfield' as a role now pretty much includes the half forwards and half backs. I would say Deledio is a HBF Outside Mid.

I don't really know why, but when I see Steven Hill playing for the Dockers, I always feel I am looking at the sort of player Mitch Morton should be.
Big things expected of MM on the wing, really think as the team improves so will Mitch, not in an insulting way but think he has great qualities of a classic classy front runner
CC TIGER said:
Kind of disagree. Mitch had a couple of good games late in the season when the Tigers were getting thumped. One of the few to put his hand up when under the pump, hardly a front runner from that point of view.
I probally didnt use the correct wording ;D , I try a different way , I think MM will be the icing on the cake , when the core of our midfield is very very strong, simply good player, who could be a real weapon in a gun midfieldlinuscambridge said:

And from all reports he is training the house down... I just can't wait for a few years down the track, as I believe we will have the best midfield in the comp by far...
Disco08 said:
Yeah, maybe. Don't think he will be as aggressive as Chappy but I get your point.
Didak is the type that springs to mind. Same role as Chappy but played a different way.
More silk, less grunt. Put it this way, Mitch Morton will be as good as he wants to be. Has all the tools bar a AFL midfielders engine and that he can get over time. If Mitch is serious about being a mid/forward he may not be at his best and most deadly for another couple of years but building up to that he can be a massive weapon.
And Mitch Morton will always be known as "Evo's boy".
Ever since his "Dear Beavis, (Insert Mitch two hands over head goal celebration) Regards Evo" post I have those two linked.
I think that was my fav PRE post of 2010. Bit skinny round these parts at the minute.

On Morton. I think he'll need to go back to the forward line next season. We added Conca, Grigg and Houli to our midfield but we only have one goal kicker of note.
Morton may get the odd run in the middle next year but his primary job should be to kick goals.
