But this other player that is leaving is giving you genuine distress.

This player you can’t remember.

No matter what happens with Dogga, I’d still be keen to ask the Swans about the availability of Haydn McLean.  Big bodied 197cm Forward/2nd Ruck. Good goalkicker, good mark.  Behind Franklin, McDonald and Reid as a forward. Behind Hickey and Ladhams as a ruck. Would appeal to us and brings physical presence.  

i really like this, could be a very T-Mac style player, not flashy and plays within his limits and provides a good option.

Haven't seen a whole lot of him but I do vaguely remember him at Sandy Dragons and he could really clunk a mark!

before Logan Mcdonald and Amarti, i remember him being a very serviceable player.  if we can get him for bugger all and not pay a lot he would be a great get, and if a young kid passes him well that's what we want too

What about a nibble at Paddy Dow from Carlton to fatten our midfield depth chart?

The HUN reporting that Carlton are looking at off loading a former high draft pick for salary space so I can only assume it's him.

Last year he almost got there as a realised talent but for whatever reason can't get a game this year (that reason being that he's probably not good enough in Voss's eye)

Finn Callaghan would be a nice addition, has a booming kick. What's his contested marking like? At 192cm he could provide a nice marking option down the wing to help out Max.

Haven’t really seen him in pack marking situations, but has good hands overhead does pretty well in one v one marking contests. Can play a role forward.

I hope we look to top up our list with some veterans who are flag chasing like Goldstein, Cunnington, Boak, Robbie Gray, Breust and/or Gunston. They aren't key forwards but they could be the difference in 2023.

As much as we need a key forward to replace Ben Brown, he has two more years on his contract and the top key forwards will cost an enormous amount in salary cap space and picks. I think we should be looking at getting another gun small forward either in the draft or trade.

I would rather Brodie Kemp.

Not a Premiership player, as was quoted in the post.

And he also stated that it was three "good" players. No offence to Bedford, but I hardly think that anyone would classify him as good.

we want picks.. minimum 2 first rounders. Of course we want a Tall forward, but ideally from Freo we want minimum 2 first round picks this year.

will we?

i would've thought we'd want to replace a best 22 player with another or more - dunno if (likely) late first round picks will get the job done

that said, i could see us getting three first round picks if footscray give up their 2021 first rounder for lobb and flagmantle paying a huge chunk of his 2023 salary

GIVE: jackson + 2022 second round pick
GET: footscray 2022, freo 2022 and 2023 first rounders

from there we'd be in a good position to package one - or two? - of those plus our own 2023 first rounder to get further up in the 2022 draft board

Difficult to see Tomlinson with us next year. He's too good for VFL.

Could imagine a team like the Dogs parting with their second rounder for him.

Our midfield depth is a media myth

We're too light for rotations (assuming brayshaw never plays in the guts again)

Our second tier mids in Sparrow and Harmes are among the worst in the comp 

Rate Jordon but he's a utility sort you can put anywhere and is unlikely to be a starting centebounce midfielder 

That wouldn't be the same Harmes that set the Deez on the road to glory in the third quarter of last year's Granny would it?

It's like any player that has had a singular positive impact on grand final is completely untouchable for the rest of their career.. fmd.

I'm still gobsmacked Steven Armstrong hasn't been inducted into the Hall of Fame for his 2 minute heroic in the 2006 Grand Final.

Jake riccardi from the giants might be worth a look.

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
