No he won't.

Also; Hore, Lockhart, Hannan, J.Smith, ANB, vB, Hunt &  Harmes all say hi from post-pick 40 and our best 22.

 

In reality, Harmes is the only one up to it

    Not saying they're amazing, but reality is, that many best 22 players from picks after pick 40 is not "horrendous" as MB has tried to claim.

    My understanding is that if we trade our 1st rounder, we cannot trade other picks in that draft. Is that right? Not sure

    ...because he who has been away has decreed GC will get the PP (pick 2).

    That's unfair, a few people have similarly said this will happen

    It's very fair 'Super'...

    He's writing as though it's a done deal.

    Others have expressed it may happen or even will happen.

    None that it has...

    That would be typical. We finish the season to qualify for pick 2 & end up facing a compromised draft to prop up the AFL's love child up north.

    Again. Happened when they first came into the league when we finished 16th the year prior

    *Note - LordNev neglected to mention the Wagner bros, Spargo, McKenna, Filipovic, Hulett, Johnstone, White, Omac, Stretch, King and a host of other illustrious post R1 recruits long since discarded. 

    Taylor's sensational recruiting of Oliver and a few others masks what has been overall a grand failure of recruiting over a five year period.

    It is definitely a reason - no not the the only reason - but a reason why we sit where we currently sit at present.

    17th.

    And last year 4th, with basically the same list.

    And yes, I didn't go through and list every single player recruited past pick 40, you can do that yourself if you wish, I was pointing out that a fair few of our best 22 have come after pick 40, so to say Taylor has been "horrendous" is just histrionics.

    Sadly, that seems to be par for the course for your posts though.

    Look, you listed ANB as one of your fave U/23's. We're done.

    How many times are you going to start a thread about/post the same thing?

    Couldn't this have gone in your 'Key forwards, let's go shopping' thread where you posted constantly about Brown? Or even your 'Should we trade our early pick' thread where you also posted about Brown?

    At least your 'Hinkley is coach of the year' and 'Trade Petracca for Patton' threads have died the death they deserved.

     

    Agreed LN. Well said

    As does this one.

    Talk about parallel universes if the future headline is ..."North appoints new coach and trade out star full forward "...

    No chance but I do think we will go after a decent tall forward and Josh Jenkins is my bet.

    Histrionics again, but now you've added flat out lies into the mix.

    What's notable from the likes of LordNev and others in this thread is a lot of criticism but not a whole lot of creativity as to how you think we're going to get out of the biggest forward set up debacle since the mid 80's.

    Easy to pot, not so easy to plot. 

    Let's hear some real thinkers step forward with support and/or alternatives. Because this problem isn't gong to solve itself. And I'll give you the tip - the immediate answer does not include the name Weideman.

    Must sign key forward. Priority numero uno.

    So we head to the G in 2020 to watch a geriatric Roughead trying to teach Weid how to mark a footy? How exciting.

    Top eight here we come ?

    He is still capable. Won’t play 22 games. It’s not about plying every game or pinning hopes on him winning us matches. He can still be dangerous tho and can work with McDonald and Weed as three talls. It frees up them to get the 2nd best defender or teams can play their third best defender on Roughy and he will dine out.

    We have the worst forward line in the comp and the worst since inside 50 and conversion rates have been recorded.

    TMac is iffy, Weideman has shown bupkis. It's been a horror show.

    We must throw the kitchen sink and internal pipe fitting at Ben Brown to come to the  Melbourne Football Club. Pick 3 will get a rebuilding North interested.

    We won't be having a shot at Rowell or Anderson as Gill will be giving them the PP necessary to ensure they have picks 1 and 2 in October.

    Get radical and get Ben Brown or miss finals again in 2020.

    The club will implode if we have another year like this one, good players will walk and Goodwin will be clearing out his desk by round 12.

    Get real people.

    Better still, actually come up with your own ideas to how to address the forward line woes heading into 2020.

    Then get on the Ben Brown train. Club head honchos read this forum. Let’s let them know we demand action. 5000 new members will sign on off the back of a bold move like this. 

    May - Lever - Oliver - TMac - Brown. 

    Thats a spine to build a premiership assault around. He’s worth the risk.

    Kudos for having a dip, MB, but I’m of the opinion that some classy kids will go a long way to helping us climb the ladder next year

    Let’s go to the draft

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
