Jetta, May, Oscar McDonald, Salem, Lever, Hibberd Gawn, Viney, Oliver, Brayshaw, Kolodjashnij, Harmes Petracca, Weideman, Neal-Bullen, Melksham, Tom McDonald, Spargo Jones, vandenBerg, Fritsch, Lewis, Hannan That's our best 23 players. Good to reasonable depth: Frost, Hunt, Garlett, Stretch, J. Smith, Kennedy-Harris, J. Wagner That's 30, not 24, imo. Petty will be a player, while I'm not as bullish on Tim Smith and Maynard who have also donned the red & blue. For me, it's as much depth as most clubs. And I reckon Hore might just be a player.

The MFC didn't have to make the decision they did and people don't have to throw their money down the drain. There should be no "reward" for clubs who make a business decision whether it's inspired by community spirit, or not..

No-one is saying that most, if not all, will be ready to go round one. What they're saying is that when you're in rehab, or on a modified or reduced program, then your preseason has indeed been interrupted. Some players boast at the end of the preseason that they've "done every session". I'm sure you've also heard the boast. They know it sets them up for a good year. It's not to say that those on a reduced preseason can't also have a good year, however, they can't make the same claim. You know, because it was "interrupted".

I formally give you permission to "let go".

It's just logic, but you've articulated it very well.

I didn't think it was possible that anybody could put a positive spin on having so many in rehab, i.e. an interrupted preseason. I was wrong.

I doubt any coach would say that in December about a player who clearly wasn't in 2018. And if they did it was to probably shut up an annoyance as they tried to go about their work.

Gee thanks. I'm somewhat aware of a player closer to 200 games than 150. I'm also aware he's kicked 40 goals, or more, 4 odd times. I've also seen him play for Melbourne. We've moved past a very soft player that doesn't contribute Goodwin-style, which is why he was dropped. What we put up with in the past we no longer will. Clue - this bit is important. If he wants to have a complete recalibration of his mind as he confronts his football mortality then GREAT. It will "please" me. I won't be holding my breath.

I'll answer your feeble question this way. I want to win a flag. Any player that proves they deserve a spot in the best 22, or even if they're no longer best 22, but contribute meaningfully when/if they get an opportunity, please me. I don't think Garlett will be getting the chance to please me too often.

How can he prove my eyes "wrong" ? It's up to him if he changes his behaviours.

Must have had a huge downpour at Etihad during the VFL GF. Didn't put his body on the line or stand under a high ball. He's not a "Goody-type"player.

Garlett is finished. Our club and team has moved past flaky players who pick and choose when it suits them.

There's a difference between game-day kicking and kicking at training ---- pressure. Pleasing that Jordon has a good technique.

Really ? Looks ghastly.

I'm devastated we have a bloke with a man bun on the list.
