Tough Kent

Very good! Jake will be playing footy in 2016, just not necessarily at Casey.

No guarantees Jake will line up at Casey. His first priority will be his horticultural course he is now looking forward to starting.

180cm

There is your best midfielder in it and the #3 draft pick.

He actually reminds me of Scotty West, both in appearance and in his ability to win the footy, break away from a pack and then make a good decision. In the little I've seen he is quicker and a more penetrating kick than Scotty. If he turns into 1/4 of the player Westy was we'll be very happy.

Court case next month.

Fitzy will kick 50 a year in that very strong Box Hill side.

Players can stay on the rookie list for 3 years. Clubs are only allowed to keep three rookies on their list in consecutive years. Seeing as though AvB has already been elevated to the primary list we could keep all three of our rookies where they are.

They're at AFL House now with our boys.

MFC and GWS recruiters just marched into AFL House. Tommy Bugg about to become a Dee.

I agree with Forest. We need significant improvement to come from within. The trade period added depth through the midfield. We now need to turn a Gus, JV, Petracca, AvB, ANB, Stretch or a Harmes into the the A-grader.

Billy Stretch not a great ball-user?? His decision making and execution really impressed me this year.

@Stevo7AFL Tweets: If Howe wants to go to Pies, deal won't be easy ... Dees more content with potential deal with Suns, which would land them pick 3 Kennedy won't be enough to satisfy Dees. Pies will have to come up with significantly more if Bucks and Howe Bali meeting ends in marriage

Stevo just reported that MFC said it would take Collingwood a lot more than a straight swap for Kennedy to get Howe.

That is Jack on the right.

What have you heard WW?

I remember him.

Me too Adam. Please and thank you.

How anyone can assess Ben Kennedy's ability to make it at AFL level based on his 2015 year is beyond me. He played AFL 5 games, 2 as the SUB and was in no way give an extended run at senior footy. 2 in a row is the most he played and then he proceeded to go back and play good footy at VFL level, not bad for a 20 year old.

That's actually not true either. He was at our 150 year celebrations. He was on SEN yesterday and said he enjoyed his time at MFC, even though in hindsight he probably would've have stayed at Collingwood.

He manages Viv Michie and Jack Watts at our club.

Paul Connors met with Josh Mahoney at AAMI Park today. One last crack, perhaps???

How old are you? Apart from a few rumours in the media we don't even really know that he is available. But feel free to go sick bro.

Or he takes another 12 months to assess his options and see if a club that won just 4 games in 2014 shows any improvement and appears to be on the right track.
