Daw and Mitch.Brown have retired and Rosman has been delisted.

Jackson should be heading Fremantle and we should be getting Grundy.

Hibberd and Melksham are expected to get 1 year contracts. 

Hunt no certainty to stay around with the Eagles circling.

Tomlinson could be on the move but no takers as yet.

Bedford is favored to sign on but no certainty with GWS circling.

Weideman is almost a certainty to stay at the club.

Law of averages says Baker will be cut considering he never played a game this year but he is still on the list.

Hunt's gone to West Coast and Bedford will soon be following him out the door to GWS. I'll do a rolling 44 after the trade period.

Wait and see what they do with Gus. I’d like to see a lot more rotations between the wings, on ballers and half forwards. Keep it unpredictable. 

Use Harmes where we need speed, Brayshaw where we need contested ball and Hunter where we need skill. Against certain teams they will be very different combinations. 

Gus back and Bowey wing can also be a consideration in games.

Well trade week is done and dusted and I think we done pretty well with Hunter and Grundy for bargain picks. We have pick 13 and 37 which is as good a deal as your gonna get for the Weid. We also have plenty of picks for next year. 

I can see us winning the next 3 Premierships with this list.

It’s a strange world where after a game I actively look for the @joeboy player review.

And after trade week, I want to see @WERRIDEEfield the teams.

I have been pretty big on our depth not being good enough, however when you look at this we have 6 blokes from our finals side (including Jordon) playing 2's and it would be hard to argue against it.

I'd like to see whether we can get a little bit more of a dynamic HFF setup with some goal kicking emphasis.

Also think Gawn, Fritta, JVR & T-Mac may be a bit too top heavy. Would rather see if we can get Chandler or Laurie to add some zing

I don't think we are too top heavy up forward as Fritsch can play medium small. Gawn, JVR, T.Mac as the talls. Pickett, Fritsch, Neal-Bullen and Chandler play as medium to smalls.

Just like the backline. Lever, May and Petty play tall. Bowey, Brayshaw, Salem and J.Smith play medium to small.

What happened to Petty at CHF? 
our forward line needs Petty JVR and Tmac. Disco can be tall defender no3 and Tommo back up.

Gawn has to play up forward as well it will be too top heavy. If they want to play Petty up forward they have to forget about T.Mac playing which I don't think they will.

That defeats the whole purpose of strengthening the forward line Not enough improvement from last year other than Tmac and JVR which might be ok but I don't think so.

With Maxy and Brodie plus the 3 forwards JVR Tmac and Petty the 5 interchanges should work as Maxy needs to spend time down back also.

Fox footy’s “experts” had the following for their best 22 following the trade period for us. It’s not bad though I think Brayshaw will play mid, Jordon sub, Bowey to half back. There’s also flexibility with the talls in this setup, TMC can go back, Petty forward, Gawn/Grundy to a more traditional ruck/bench behind the ball setup with just two tall forwards. I hope Jordon, Woey or Howes push Hunter for his wing spot but maybe I am underestimating him/prejudiced against him as he was so annoying for the dogs. We’d also want Chandler to be pushing ANB as while he does the team things and runs hard he just wasn’t damaging enough with the ball last year. 

MELBOURNE 

B: Harrison Petty, Steven May, Michael Hibberd

HB: Angus Brayshaw, Jake Lever, Christian Salem

C: Ed Langdon, Jack Viney, Lachie Hunter 

HF: Alex Neal-Bullen, Tom McDonald, Kysaiah Pickett

F: Jacob Van Rooyen, Max Gawn, Bayley Fritsch

FOLL: Brodie Grundy, Clayton Oliver, Christian Petracca

I/C: James Jordon, Charlie Spargo, Tom Sparrow, Trent Rivers
 

They listed Bowey, Harmes and Chandler as potential ins throughout the year.

I'm going to cheat and list both of BBB/T Mac in the last spot - a choice between whoever is less cooked.

Would like to see Brayshaw rotate between inside mid & half back, but no idea how that'd really work in practice

Sub is between ANB & Sparrow - whoever fumbles less at training prior to game day gets the spot

Petty to full forward with Disco to defence is the break glass in case of emergency forward option

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie
