Everyone keeps saying "don't trade player X because a new coach might get the best out of him".

The new coach is trading them because he feels that there is more to his trading than keeping him.

Bailey wants to start with a list that has the attributes that he wants, and he'll go to the draft to get that if he has to.

I am further amazed that so many posters back a Coach to get the best of a player when the player does not show any of the basic attributes himself to do so.

People here keep talking of CJ's potential. When has he ever demonstrated any? I have never seen anything in his game to suggest he will make it as a good player, let alone one to cement himself in our starting 22. To the CJ fans out there: When we win the flag in 2010, what position would he play?

If we were offered a 3rd round pick or a promising young player (like Dyson as mooted elsewhere) we'd be mad to not accept it.

Dyson for Chris Johnson would be a step down.

Why are we arguing over periphery players, it is utterly pointless.

Surely Stkilda won't trade for a 5th player now. Schneider, Dempster, King and Gardiner already traded for

CJ may be safe

PREVIEW: Essendon
PREVIEW: Essendon

Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

REPORT: Gold Coast
REPORT: Gold Coast

Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
