Might be worth having a chat to Mitch Lewis at Hawthorn, seems on the outer and might be unhappy.

    Irrelevant, he won't be going anywhere.

    Well that shows  up the Club thinking.  Ageing player, has some currency, and wont be considered for a trade.

    he's also a free agent, so it's out of our hands to a greater / lesser degree

    Didn't realize 26 was an ageing player, let's trade out all our players over 25 and we can concentrate on becoming a kindergarten club.

    I think it shows up your thinking.

    you say he's an ageing player but a more positive thinking person would say that he's now coming into his prime years. you said he was of limited currency before ('would only bring a second rounder'), but you'd still wish to trade an ex captain of our club, our current VC and a guy who was our best player 2 games ago for what, a second round pick?!

    to me your thinking sounds overly negative, disloyal and confused.

    Petty and Sparrow are 2 players I would have in the starting 18. To trade off would be stupid. There are plenty of other dead cattle at Melbourne.

    I know it's early but I thought it would be a little fun to predict trades, promotions and delistings.

    Makes good sense, provides potential benefits and skills, keeps those in the picture keen and somewhat responsible towards the Club. I'd retain Hunt - seldom played in his most valuable position under Goodwin - he's a forward on the run, leading, and we know he can kick 'em.

    Well, to start with I was not the one to bring up Vineys name. I merely said or infered that strong Clubs make impartial decisions on who and when to trade players.  You dont agree, good for you but to bring up the disloyal card just shows your thinking is still back in the glory years of the early 60s.

    We have a lot of fringe players. Our elite players don’t perform consistently. Brayshaw has had some great games in the past but has underperformed for two years.

    Are we still giving our first pick to North? No doubt they'll find somebody fantastic with it even if there's not one Under 18 game played.

    what about Schache from Dogs? Isn't getting a game at the moment and if he added some size he could be handy 

    how is he different to the weed tho?

    good tall at junior level who at senior level isn't mobile enough, skilled enough, hard enough, so basically has to be the part time forward / ruck role

    I think Weed should be playing and not sure why he isn't - showed signs early and although he had a down year last year so did 3/4 of the side

    Fwds take time and I think our coaches are being pretty impatient with him. I must admit it was foolish of whoever came out and said he is worth $650k a year as it might of got to his head/a target on him/internal pressure

    But I want to see him back in the side, fwds are a commodity and we don't have too many rn

    The crows must have something we want.   Laird is too small to replace Nev, imv.

    Lets start to get into Fogarty.

    It almost looking like selection this year,  after maybe some footy-dept changes,  that players now have to demand a game by crashing the selection room door in.!

    fogarty just did his shoulder unfortunately

    he might be another in a long list of player's whose body is simply not made for the rigours of afl-level football

    If we can't get anyone I'm happy to take what little we have to the draft and try and move up somehow

    Our recruiting has been very good last few years so I'm happy to back them in again

    We don't want list cloggers

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
