Can you please edit your post to read $550k. I've heard it from a very unreliable source Gaff is an avid DL reader and we don't want him getting over inflated ideas.

Ha! Ha! I see what you did there even if I don't know how. I see it but I don't believe it. 

Andrew when you read this I just want you to know I didn't write that. You are only worth $500 and be grateful for playing for the team you grew up worshipping like all of us but we don't get the honour of playing for it like you will. Sooo lucky.

Thank God for that. I was worried you were going to quote some unreliable source like a friend of a friend's friend or someone who knows someone who knows a family member.

This going to the team you followed is not a trend in the AFL, just ask Juddy, Buddy and Prestia.

How often does a player of his calibre remain unsigned this late into the season?

Very good chance that hes already committed to us.

It would be nice to be considered (the MFC) as the destination team of choice for players of a particular calibre.

Geez I hate the expression ‘cooked’ when it’s applied to footballers.

There’s something not quite right about it.

Whilst I’d like to see Gaff in the red and the blue, I don’t see why doesn’t Goodwin throw Jayden Hunt on a wing if he’s not liking him in defence. He definitely has outside run. In spades.

 

Fully agree on Jayden Hunt - maybe he can develop some more skills for this role in the next few weeks/months. He does need to be able to apply his speed with a change of direction. In a straight line, he's very fast. A capacity to weave reliably, to blind turn or to combine 'eyes up' scanning to teammates with that speed would be phenomenally potent.Could be the next Stan Alves if that was the case and located on the wing with 2-way running from HBF to HFF or spots in-between. He already has Alves' kicking aptitudes and grunt speed.

Poor disposal, only runs in straight lines and often gets caught for running too far. He can fix 2 and 3 but I don't think his disposal will ever be as good as Gaffs.

Anyone would think he's on drugs or something!

Hannebury has been a topliner.

ooh, disagree Werri.

Why do you say that?   I'd prefer Hannebury,,, unless you know something I don't?

Inside, slow and injury prone. Hannebery is someone we don't need we need outside run and carry like Gaff not Hannebery he is cooked.

So, if we trade out Tyson, and Oli were to get hurt, we need inside ability.

We shouldn't maintain the list that skinny,,, that we have no cover. 

I think Hannebury can be very handy,,, and with Tyson on the outer, and Jones running on fumes. We would lack class inside, in those circumstances.

And we aren't as strong inside, as we like to think we are.  We're strong, but not the strongest.  We are amongst the other good inside mid-fields.

 

Yes.... we need outside run, but we need speeeed, more than any other run.

 

If we can guarantee we win the clearances,,, and get the ball out to our quick's, we will win way more than lose.  We do not want to pay too much Lira to any one player.    Unless a DShiel or JKelly bobs up.

Why would we want Clarry to be injured for. 

Main players: Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Jones, Harmes, Petracca, Neal-Bullen, Fritsch, Stretch

Fringe: Tyson, Maynard, Vandenberg, Baker, Bugg, Hannan, Kennedy Harris

We have enough players to cover for injury.

If we don't have injuries Tyson and\or Hannebery play in the reserves, what a waste.

inside mids, in-unders... Oliver, Viney, Jones, Harmes,,,,,, Brayshaw, Petracca, Neal-Bullen,

I would say of these boys, the first 4 are the real coalface players, and the others are opportunistic insiders.

I think I see where your viewing things from.... we differ on what we call inside players (in-unders)..... I think, we only have 4 of what I would call in-unders in our B-22.

The others I would term, as just inside mids.

 

Now...  no-one wants injuries, but they do happen.  And we need cover.  and we need to get more talented.

Hannebury is a yes for me; unless he's murdered an underworld figure in the past 6 months.

Just admit you were wrong I won't think any less of you.

No opinion is right or wrong, it is an opinion

Not sure which bit you don't get

You only have to read the game day and post match to see differing opinions on the same player

It is only a certain type of person that requires validation that their opinion is the correct one and others are wrong

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
