Honestly and seriously given all that has happened this year. I CANT SEE HOW ANYONE would want to come to MFC. We are imploding and exploding at the same time!

Can I just add PF thank god that the opposition players don’t read Demonland.🔥🔥

I have a bad feeling we'll only end up being able to get the scraps that nobody wants by the end of Trade Week.

Hopefully an open cheque book will entice people.

Yes given our current reputation, I can't see us attracting much.  The drafting will be critical.

Big fan of this one, this kid would be a great replacement for Brayshaw.  Offer him the Brayshaw $$

Better than "winning trade period" like Essendon seem to always do, but don't in the long run!

I have no real knowledge of Brandan Parfitt or whether he is any good or not but he is on the move and fits the age demographic for our needs

Brandan: 'an' upgrade on a Brand.

 

Door. Me. Reunited.

Brandan Parfitt Darwin boy and a friend of my youngest daughter. Very generous with his congratulatory praise back in ‘21 when we won the flag. My daughter was able reprise that the following season when the Cats took the urn.

Looks a solid player worthy of serious consideration. Given our midfield requires some strengthening and experience.

Parfitt’s name is in the jar.  Wait and see who and what’s available … then we may open the jar

Would be a handy depth option for us.

The AFL Trade period should just be a lucky dip at a School fete. 18 jars with a bunch of names

[Tarax Club 3,828]

Yes agree given that Geelong are participating in finals at AFL AND VFL levels. Current priorities of players would not likely to be beyond the finals horizon. Opportunities may still occur for promotion into the senior side and a change of fortune, from being overlooked to feeling more valued. Obviously a wait and see re-availability. I'm sure there would be multiple suitors in any case. 

The media driven frenzy, rife with hyperbole and speculation about possible player movement has reached a premature, overheated, fever pitch. Personally I try to avoid the threads 'running hot' on individual players thru multiple pages on these boards etc. The 'lids' will finally come off by Black Friday 13th of October. Question the sustainability of it all. Hope nobody gets burnt.

Sure, but who?

[Young Angus 762]

Hawthorn also have a very good coach that seems to be very well liked and trusted by everyone. I’m sure that goes a long way. 
 

Now I love what Goody has done for the club and I know the players like him, but cmon let’s deal with the elephant in the room I just can’t see that kind of work being done by Goody like what Sam Mitchel has done to attract players and sell them success. Everyone knows what Goody will do, boring defensive game play, it needs to change big time because the dees supporters need this change to get interested again too!!

Harvey Langford

James Peatling or another top 30 draftee.

What are you talking about? He attracted Lever, May and Langdon, who were all vital pieces to the premiership puzzle.

TPP then can become a problem when you win a flag.

People find it very difficult to understand this.  They think you can just grab top end talent every year and there is no such thing as a salary cap
