So when Petty goes to Adelaide at the end of 2024 and May retires at the end of 2026 and "Trac, Clarry, Viney and Bradshaw" are all still playing, will Sanders be playing key defence?

Adams and Jefferson might play those positions 

Bring tmac in put him on the wing and play second ruck. Try to play him in to form by getting his hands on the ball.

Will the Wednesday and Thursday night games be on free to air?? 

Am I correct in thinking the game will be available to watch on the club website after the fact as myself and many others have work commitments.  

I'm no draft expert but surely we are not taking a Ruckman with our first pick. We have a top 2 Ruckman in gawn and a handy back up and a project ruckman.

We have holes everywhere but the ruck.

Trade 3 to Freo for 7 and 10 or just take young.

Young@3 and serong@8 best outcome 

So now that jag have signed on will we be wearing the same jumper next year? And if not when will the 2020 jumper be available? 

So will next year's jumper have jag on the back? I ask.my wife every year for a melbourne jumper for Christmas but they are never ready in time as we are constantly changing sponsorship and leaving it late tO do so

The Dogs have a top 10 Academy pick next year.

Would we do 26 and next year round 2 for the dogs pick13??? 

Gives us our 2nd low pick while keeping 3 and gives dog points for next year??

We would but don't think dogs do it 

But I'm not expert

If we don't split the pick with gws could we trade a future first and our second rounder for pick 9 (gws has Essendon pick). Gws Do it so they don't have to use a high pick on matching a green bid and we do it to get 2 quality young guns on the list this year. We are gambling on our self to finish higher next year. Just thinking outside the box

This will be a controversial one. I am basing my ins and outs based on AFL recruiter intel I have heard that Rowell and Anderson are uniquely talented and could become stars of the competition within two years. No knowledge of this myself.

Other thought is that we are heading towards a GWS problem where we will have a lot of quality players in the older bracket that will all have their hands out for larger contracts, and so we need to balance the list with more quality youth who are on smaller contracts.

Trades: 

In: 1, 2, B.King Out: Oliver, Salem, 20

In: Pick 11, B.Daniels, X Halloran Out: Pick 3

In: Langdon Out: Hunt, 37

In: Wines F3rd Out: 11, ANB

In: 25 Out Frost

In: F4th, F5th Out J.Smith (heard he wants out due to injury mismanagement...not sure truth of this)

Free Agents: Elliott, Tomlinson, Ellis Yolman, Newnes

Retired/Delistings (senior list): Lewis, Garlett, JKH, Wagner, Stretch

Total: Ins: 1, 2, B.King, B.Daniels, X O'Halloran, Langdon, Wines, 25, Elliott, Tomlinson, Ellis-Yolman, Newes, F3rd, F4th, F5th

Outs: Oliver, Salem, Hunt, Frost, J.Smith, Lewis, Garlett, JKH, Wagner, Stretch, ANB

(We had 39 senior players this year so we can increase that to the maximum of 40). 

Would hate to Lose clarry but that's some pretty good ins. Would never happen  but good outside the box thinking 

Brayshaw to Freo for pick 6 then send pick 6 to gws for there 2 first round picks 11&13 maybe send some academy points there way. Draft Anderson with pick two and deal or draft with 11 & 13 (Kemp Flanders Stephens) 

Just turned to the cricket lets see if I ruin the Aussies 

How do you go from so good to so [censored] in less than 12 months 

Prues can't mark and gives frees away every time he goes up in the ruck . He is nearly unplayable

No.

Did they not sign Gus to a 4 years deal last year? Ffs he aint going anywhere .

Your right we should just roll out a starting 18 of inside mids that have an uncanny ability to hit opposition defenders on the chest lace out 

Not saying this will happen or should happen but I would like an Angus Brashaw for B.hill swap and then Trac and our first pick for Whitfield and gws first( as we need to take a first round pick this year ) thoughts

I don't have stats to back me up but I feel a high number of the weekly nominations come against us. On that note watch for McInerney to have a blinder. 

Been saying it for the past to seasons anb can't be a melbourne player he is a momentum killer 

Why are we playing 3 talls down back in these conditions?? 

I would also like Shia Bolton from the tigers as we need food speed in the forward line and x factor 

What about some younger and cheaper options

Hunter Clark saints 

Mathew ling swans 

Not really getting a run atm but both quick good users and would look good next to our tough midfielders 

Save the cap space for our own young guns but flick a little extra across to turn the head of these guys.

Maybe frost and and a second for Clark I'm not sure for ling maybe anb? (I'm not a fan of his)

It looked like we had no space when we had the ball and when the lions had it it was open and fluild.

The ground seemed small for us but big for them 

Anb can not play round 1 

Joel Smith has to play round 1

Any chance of looking for a target in the forward 50 instead on just bombing it 20m out from goal?
