Nah, you carry on exactly as you have been, R&B Forever. We appreciate you taking the time to update the lists, and if anyone doesn’t like aspects of it perhaps they should compile their own lists.

PS: I like the rumoured list, it’s amusing. I’m sure others do as well.

Sorry, it was only my opinion, guess I should have said anything !

All good. I felt for R&B Forever because I know only too well how much it sucks to post stuff only to have someone complain for whatever reason. Joeboy cops it too, except he has a much thicker skin than I do.

Please don’t say you shouldn’t have said anything, I’ll likely not hear the end of it.

I am keen to hear all opinions on this thread.

it is a important thing, I want to do it the best by everyone, not everyone will agree on everything, but that is ok

but PLEASE anyone, who has an Opinion, Idea, Suggestion here let me know... No worries or offense will be taken

:)

Wonder what Kingys plan is now with another wanting out.

I am positive they probably raised McVee and others in his interviews on the plan in place. They would have had a list of who had been locked in, not locked in or players they wanted to stay or not.

I am certainly a bit nervous, wondering if we go higher next year or lower and if lower, how many picks we would get.

Nothing wrong with an athletic big man

Unless he plays for Collingwood 🕶️

And as an aside, any factual updates on Judd?

Think media has released he is out of here. Unsure to his plans.

for fun I thought I would include the rumoured IN'S,

If i have missed any who should be there let me know, and I will add them.

Just a suggestion but could you put RA, RB and S (Rookie A & B, Senior) next to the names under list changes. You can work it out but would make it easier.

Given we normally go 36.6 and 2 for our list. So we lose McVee which would make the list from this season 32,4,2

Which means we add 4 senior list ( say 2 in the trade period and 2 drafted) and 4 rookies.

So likely Derkson and Heath in the trade but might be others. Although you could add May to the possibles for another.

So leaves 2 for the draft.

Maybe White and Sinnema to the rookie list if they agree. Then pick 2 other A rookies.

Whilst the names might be different it seems we are pretty much limited to 2 people from the trade period and same for the draft.

SO unfortunately, Mcvee is leaving us, having formally requested a trade to Freo.

I will fully remove him once we have club confirmation,

4 main list and 2 rookies.

but maybe 6/7 main list spots is May Petracca and Woewodin go

Correct my mistake

A small update of the ins/outs/rumours with Mihocek coming in

Edited October 4Oct 4 by red and blue forever

Welcome Brody Mihocek!! 2 year contract

Glad you are no longer filthy

Update for Mcvee traded to Fremantle for pick 23

Not Happy to see him go, or the way it all went down. disappointed in you son

And there may be worse to come... hopefully we can get some decent compensation for whatever happens next

Edited October 7Oct 7 by red and blue forever

Has Miochek actually been confirmed? I saw that he nominated us, but didn't realise it went through.

Really?

Mihocek is definitely coming to Melbourne, just needs to be confirmed what we are paying.

I really do my best here, and do not just go off randomly.

But if people here think my way of doing this is [censored], then perhaps it is time someone else takes over.

you are welcome to it Turner.

@red and blue forever I reckon Turner has been pretty rough on you here, and you do a great job at a relatively thankless task.

It's absolutely up to you how you run your thread, but I don't think it is a bad suggestion to only update the list with official changes, so that it's a complete/factual record? I know I personally would find an official, factual, list (like it has traditionally been) a more useful resource. But of course if that's not your preference and you'd like to take it in a new direction, that's your call!

I really do try to keep it factual though.

the Age, Foxfooty and the AFL website have all said Mihocek is coming to Melbourne. on a 2 year deal.

the finer points of compensation/late pick swap has not been finalised, but it is happening.

OK so sometimes I go a little early, and no not rely on it being posted on the official melbournefc website. but they are slower than a legless camel

I will endeavor to be more patient in the future. I also want this seen as a Factual Bible of our list

there is no other club. or site, where such a comprehensive and up to date list exists in the entire AFL.

It is a BIG responsibility I really try to take seriously

You are doing a great job and it isn't easy keeping it current especially at this time of year.

Absolutely agree @Lucifers Hero , I reckon @red and blue forever is doing a stellar job, it's hard with all the news sources reporting info and it not getting formalised etc!

@red and blue forever if you're trying to keep it factual, that's good enough for me! You're right I don't think any other clubs supporters are lucky enough to have info like this available, it's a big responsibility but also a really big volunteer role, and your efforts are appreciated.

Agree, names appear on the list but not confirmed, lamb may do a leek aleer on Brodie

update for Max Heath. Fairly certain it is a 3 year deal, but not 100% certain, I will fix it if that is incorrect.

also removed mihocek for now, to avoid arguments

Most readers on this thread appreciate your enthusiasm, but when we see Mihacek or any other player appear in the columns we go trolling through the AFL and Fox websites looking for the deal and the effect on MFC and its future. If Turner had his time again he may have tempered his reply. The addition of the small list below of rumoured players is a great idea. Keep up the good work.
