Please no one take offence at my blunt appraisal of the situation.

Newton will never make it as an AFL player. He has neither the attitude nor ability. Yes kicking is a required skill. Now that we are not tanking he is of no value. MFC should go back on their word and not rookie draft him, instead pay out his contract.

Similarly Meeson despite showing something in his three games before getting injured this year has under performed at two clubs and managed just 4 games in 5 or is it 6 seasons. MFC should seriously consider paying his contract out as well.

With so much talent still in the system it is far better to give the rookie opportunity to a player like Grimes or even Patrick than to waste our time with these dead wood list cloggers.

Time to build for a premiership. Time to be ruthless.

Pick 6 in the rookie draft seems far too high for either of them. Hopefully we are so far under the salary cap minimum that they can afford to at least get rid of one of them.

The club can't go back on it's word. They promised they will rookie them if not picked up by another club.

This issue has been done to death elsewhere.

Lets p1$$ off every player manager and existing player and impress upon them they when we contract with you, you make a commitment to us but we wont necessarily kept our commitment to you.

Also if the AFL are kicking funds into us they wont be happy we needlessly paying out contract early.

Building a premiership requires a number of things to happen. Being reckless is not one of them.
