Who we assemble off field will be far more important than any far fetched what ifs on field.

I would be happy if the MFC actual won more then 14 games in a season.

absolutely... i'm not truly convinced on daisy & his health as well. I'd rather an older mature player from the Cats & the Hawks... not convinced by the pies culture either.

I would love to get those 2 over the line, & would consider blease packaged with watts & a pick,,, or + another mature player.

Absolutely, we'd have to pay 900k to get thomas, i'd rather offer them 450 k each for 5 years and lure them back to vic.

and to satisfy the trade, Jack watts, Mark Jamar and pick 21?

Tyson signed back on with them, my hope is Aish with pick 2, PP at 3 for an established player, trade Watts to Carlton for pick 9 and swap that pick to GWS for Taylor Adams.

Watts to Carlton for pick 9? If its clear Watts is not committed to MFC where do we sign? Carlton could not be that silly...well they did cough pick 12 for McLean..

I've got a feeling they would need a bit more for Adams. Watched him today and is the antithesis of Jacky boy. Relentless.

At this point, I'd be happy if we won more than 4 games in a season.

I'd be reluctant to trade Watts. But i'd be very happy to drop pick 21 and Jamar.

I think everyone agrees with that?

I'm not convinced that i'd want to get rid of Jack Watts. With pick 9 though, i'd definitely trade pick 9 for Dom Tyson and there second round pick? (with GWS)

They would want to say yes to coming to us first..

Well, Tyson isnt getting a game at GWS and i am convinced that he will be a star!

Adams doesnt want to sign at this stage, so clearly he wants out.

THOMAS cost too much,breakdown a lot and we would turn him into crap.Adams o.k

Get CRIPPS and SHEEDS from WA as they are tough. M.JONES,C.SYLVIA, and J.McKENZIE to go.

N.JONES,TRENGOVE forward line,GRIMES defence,FITZY wing.EVANS,KENT with more training as possible mids.

Our midfield except viney where truly shown up against FREO.

I am still having a laugh at the dude who said I am glad you do not pick the side...we lost to the KANGAS by 20 goals.

EADE has been interviewed by the Dees,why go any further.Nothing like suspense.

I cant believe you just rate Adams as ok, yet you're wanting to pick up players who havent played

I would be happy if I turned up to the football and saw a game that wasn't all over by three quarter time.

I will be happy when i have a football club that gives its supporters value for money and decides to answer members questions at the yearly AGM.

Would be happy with that though I feel they may want pick 9 for Daisy and give us Yarren for Watts. I personally don't want Yarren. Interesting trade period ahead.

either they offer us pick 9 or we trade him to gws for pick 10

Pick 11 if my memory serves me correctly.

Still managed to stuff it up though, given that we should've picked Lewis Jetta, Talia or Bastinac (or, to be fair, Tapscott - pick 18) with that pick.

But our own brand of professional recruiters obviously knew more that the Emma Quayles of the world.

And that's why it's especially gut wrenching to see Richmond and North right now.

I feel like shooting myself.

If dont get at least three or four top quality mids, we will have another pathetic year.

Strap yourself in for another year slightly less promising than the last.

Not if we manage to lure some good on ball talent, if we dont however then i agree with you.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
