On potential punishments, would it be realistic to make 'deals' with the players on a shorter term ban, suggesting a lower level of fault, but imposing tougher penalties on the club? The kind of penalty I'd be looking at here is forcing each convicted player to enter a special draft to move them on from Essendon. These guys have been given a permanent enhancement to their playing ability and regardless of suspension they will return to receive the benefits. They cannot be allowed to be at the club that started all of this, and need to be dispersed throughout the competition. Is that feasible?

Missed the biggest one of all though. Lycra? Was there any lycra???

Would you like fries with that

Is it just me or does he look way bigger than the 194cms he's listed at?

Can't believe this wasn't a selfie. Surely he would have wanted to take all the photos himself?

Started listening but had to turn off. Can't stand either tossbag!

Is it a concern that the Cats are now looking at Rhys Stanley as a forward option? Are they starting to worry that the MC deal might not happen? Reports suggesting [censored] Colonwood are mucking around with the deal. We cough up MC, and they want more than Varcoe for HL? WTF?

So another day goes by and no activity. There once was a man from Nantucket.....

Start counting the houses....

Don't think they understand how that works yet. They've always had the first pick....

Neil Balme: "We're very confident (in Clark's foot). We've got our own people who we've spoken to and they're confident it won't be a long-term problem," That said, surely you need to cough up your first round pick for a superstar? Geelong are rolling the dice to keep their premiership window open. They must pay. Clark's manager came out and said the deal was close and expected it to be the first trade done in trade week. As far as I'm aware he's the one that's floated the Lumumba three-way. The fact that the deal STILL is not done would suggest that isn't close to good enough for Roos. Good, because it ain't good enough for me. These powerhouse clubs have been pillaging the rest for far too long and its time for change. Collingwood says do a deal by Friday for Beams or it's off. [censored]! You'll get a deal when a deal is ready. Who the [censored] do you think you are? It's been a long time coming, but it's awesome to see the number of players this year that want to jump ship from these cesspools.

Brent Moloney says hi

Jack Viney gets a crap call and suspension - a poll goes up on the AFL website. Frawley looking to get us pick 3 as compo - a poll goes up n the AFL website. AFL allowing two finalists to come up with a dodgy scenario to produce a better result for both teams at the draft, at the expense of the rest of the competition - WHERE'S THE POLL AFL? I'm sure it would be very lop-sided.

We may have to start calling him Eddie

Maybe MFC should add a story to our website celebrating pick 3?

I hear he has a Buddy.....

I'd like to see him brought in and paired up with Strauss. I think Strauss needs someone like him to lead the way and then develop into this role. I know he's been underwhelming to date, but I still think worth persevering with. Was going alright late 2013 till some [censored] kicked him in the chops.

They can have Fitzy for a 2nd rounder if all else fails.....

Mahoney's come out this morning and said we're looking for a deal to bring in Merrett, No doubt the question will be asked of Brisbane and they'll say give us your compo pick 3 for Frawley if you get it. Thus declaring their KPD is worth draft pick 3, and that's not even using a dodgy AFL formula....

Better get a bigger, heavy duty one for the second button, she's gonna get a floggin!

When was the last time ANY MFC player did that......

I have no problem with the Lions getting pick 3. What are you going to cough up for it?????????

In which case we move on to Rory Sloane

Be careful, after what we saw this year there's every possibility the AFL will have us scheduled to play every second Tuesday. Wouldn't want our Paddy too tired before a game....

[censored] em both!
