One little error in your summary, Kreuzer and Cotchin will not be at the same club.

PS. Hope we play Hawks in Round 1 , no Hodge, Crawford and Lewis.

i cannot believe Yze Magic is so adament about Ken McGregor and Farren Ray.

these 2 players are probably the last players id ever want on our list. they are exactly what we DONT want on our list making a fresh start in 2008 with a new coach.

McGregor 26 yrs old!!! mediocre bits n pieces key position player. would be useful to plug holes down back and can go forward...pretty much a replica of Ben Holland, another one of our average key position players.

we need to look at young (25 and younger) players who have real talent.

McGregor= mediocrity!!!

Farren Ray is pure and simple a mediocre outside soft midfielder. he was a high draft pick who has shown much less than sylvia (and that's saying something).

Ray=mediocrity!!!

the players we should go for in the trading period

1) Chris Judd

2) Cameron Wood

3) Matt Maguire

There are 3 categories that must be ticked if we are going to trade for a player.

1) they are under 25 years old. otherwise they will be past their peak by the time we are challenging for a flag in 2-3 years

2) they are quality people and quality players

3) will fit straight into our starting 18 next year and add something to our side (i.e. dont trade for the sake of trading)!

McGregor and Ray do NOT fulfil this critera and should not be considered. i wouldnt have either of those players even making MFC's starting 18 round 1 2008.

It's understood Hawks will be playing Carlton on Good Friday - round 1 next year.

The AFL will probably send us to Perth :rolleyes:

We are more likely to head to Darwin! :angry:

the other bit of YM/s dream that wont happen is Neita wont be BOG. Bit like treadrea at Port we can expect the big guy to get 7 goal bags in 2008 BUT he will demand 1st or 2nd key defender! but a good wish list YM

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
