Complete hypothetical. If you could have a player from any team to join our list, who would you choose? You can either go all out for the flag or bring in youngsters to help sure up the future. Up to you!

I've done a Top 10

1. A. Naughton
2. S. Walsh
3. B.King (I think he's better than Max)
4. C.Curnow
5. Bailey Smith
6. Zac Bailey
7. Shai Bolton
8. Horne-Francis
9. Sam Taylor
10. Isaac Heeney

I've gone for a slight preference for Key Forwards up top because that's where we lack the most depth. Also, life after Ben Brown.  I've also valued younger players as they are more valuable to a list as they have more seasons in them.

I like both of these lists so far.

Neither of the King brothers work hard enough yet, but I would love Ben King and I still think he could be gettable in the near term.

I know it's not really the point of the thread to go realistic, but planning a future post McDonald and Brown is important, particularly to keep our window open. So King would be at the top of my list.

Dream scenario is Walsh, but equally, having Tom Green partner Oliver and Petracca is an incredible prospect.

Brayshaw. Pundits keep saying Angus might go to Freo to play with his brother. What about the opposite?

Would Freo offer Andrew Brayshaw for Luke Jackson?

Not saying we should take it, just saying.

Hopefully we can make a big splash in a year or 2 and trade in a KPF. Ben King or Harry McKay my preferences

I am sure they would try to offer AB for LJ but I am also sure that that would not get the deal done.

Maybe it's just me but would much rather see ....

A realistic chance of getting said player from other club vs a whole lot of player 'wish lists'

Could we also add to this mature age (or other top end young talent!??) opportunities that some might be aware of on here that are sitting on secondary lists in the VFL, WAFL, SANFL etc right now and worth considering even as a mid season prospect if that's an option?

It’s an interesting one as longer term we need key forwards due to the age of whose on our list.

In the short term (2022/23) I’d still be keen on a lockdown defender for a Charlie Cameron/Heeney/Weightman type. Nev and Hibbo used to be great, and I’ve been super impressed with Hunt. It’s purely that the ground ball in defence is almost our only slight weakness.

As long as it is in a package containing their 10 first round picks for the next 10 years, of course we’d take it.

Is 'Once in a Generation' becoming the new 'Champion'???

Seems to get thrown around a lot.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
