    If ever there was a case for resting a bloke for away games, then maybe Mick is it.

    It would be great to groom Vogels or even Malcevski in that kind of forward role.

    Mick will be a contributor for the rest of the year but he might just get better every fortnight rather than every week!

            He was a student of the old Eade days - Eade looked up at his 3- goals the previous weekend, and overall form for the season, and knew how dangerous he was last weekend, and still is (only with better run and no real injury, and playing better than then) and WELL CHECKED HIM for a week. Simple as that.

            Check the stats leading up to finals last year, or for this entire year. Not just a game against your former coach's team.

            Great clubman for the game, in and out with a passion in his eyes that I've NEVER seen in him before game in game out.

            We need this guy, with his dangerously silky skills every game.

            Nuff said.

                And they dont call him MAGIC for nothing! How many times have you seen this man make a goal out of thin air?

                I agree with the comments regarding perhaps managing his knees a bit better to prolong his career. I totally disagree with this forced retirement drivel though! And lets not forget, he is our teams 2nd leading goalkicker at the moment behind Hall, and he kicked 52 goals for us last year

                Losing a battle or two does not contitute losing the war. Im sure there is plenty of magic left in those boots of his. And a servant like MOL should be given a bit more respect from people like us. He doesnt owe us anything.
                If the siren sounds in Tasmania, and the umpires don't hear it, does it make a sound?

                    Considering he is a major target in the forward line, second behind Hall, his return is very mixed.
                    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

                                Sometimes there is a tendency here to jump on players after a few off peak performances..and a lot of back pedalling later...JBolton is a fine example..Give Magic a break..2 weeks ago he dominated the fwd line..and how often does the Hall to MOL..or MOL to Hall short pass tear the opposition forward line to bits!

Goodes and O'loughlin are both in their late 20's. Every team, and I think particularly ours, can benefit from the particular flair and skill of indigenous players.
                                    Leaving aside the whole "quota" I agree with Akimbo, we could really do with someone to rove the packs up forward. I like Schneider but he's spending less time on the forward line and Monty is a far better onballer than goal-sneak. And while I'm very happy to see McVeighs current form up forward I think a Davey/Neon/Lovett with extreme speed could be a good addition to our squad, which isn't the quickest in the league.

                                        Sometimes 'electrifying', 'excitement machine' and the rather lukewarm 'mercurial' get wheeled out as well. Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind seeing another silky-skilled, electrifying excitement machine, drafted by Sydney at the end of '06.

                                                Will be interesting to see if Malcolm Lynch snags a spot on the rookie list next year as a "local".

                                                    Forgot about him, I've only seen 1 reserves game this year, and yes his pace would certainly fit the bill.
                                                    Just as long as we don't draft any more short, stocky, midfield types with average speed . . . we seem to have a suffiency of those.
