Yeah he is a good user of the footy, and usually makes good decisions with ball in hand. Also dangerous around goals. We could most certainly use him. Would be a good pick up. Adding Taylor and Langdon to our sides does cover some deficiencies.

Essendon can't afford to lose Daniher. He is going to be a great player. Needs to fix up his kicking, but at present his stock would be higher if he was out there. Dodoro is just saying we will keep him or you will offer us something ridiculous. And Essendon have every right to do that, as their default position is to keep him. Sydney want him they need to come up with massive overs to really satisfy Essendon. Dodoro is just doing common sense trading, not rocket science. He is the best in the business when it comes to negotiation, and by a fair margin. Hopefully we don't have to deal with Essendon, we'd have probably given away this years first rounder for another broken down defender.

Calling us a basket case side is an insult to basket cases sides. We have sunk below even that level. We have been pathetic for the good part of two decades now. There is no fight left. We will need a miracle to climb the ladder consistently.

These past players facing difficulties need compensation. Keep up the fight.

Talented, but injury prone, undersized forward. History says he won't be on the park much.

If true, I guess it could be worse, at least he can still run and get fit.

I think our list is in good shape. We could do with another key forward. But overall, our list is capable of making finals. A problem I see is more in the coaching and our lack of strategy and structure - which is disappointing. But Goodwin may fix that, he is the man at the helm so he will get every chance to improve upon his weaknesses. In addition, for all our ruck dominance we could really sharpen up with our efficiency and effectiveness clearing the ball. Some pace and class off of the wings would really aid our delivery inside forward 50. Plenty of room for improvement. I think we have a good list with a lot of room for improvement.

Overhaul everything and start from scratch. Bring in coaches and recruiters from successful lines like Hawthorn, Richmond, West Coast. Then we might see things change. As it stands I wouldn't expect any improvement in recruiting.

What we see during the finals is what Martin is capable of. From what I seen, he went through the motions the past couple of home and away seasons, which reflects in his averages being down on other years. After 2017, I would've expected Martin to be trending upwards, but I saw the opposite. He looked disinterested at times. The grand final this year is what he is capable of and what I expected to see from him most games since 2017. He is still a star player and I would love to see him in the red and blue, but when comparing him to champions like Nat Fyfe, I couldn't have Martin anywhere close.

Petracca had a decent year and if he wasn't an early pick we would be raving about him as an improving player. At this point, Dustin Martin is becoming a seriously overrated player anyway. Great finals player and a few good years of footy, but I hear some people try put him in Ablett jr and Fyfe's league. Martin is no where near that level IMO, he simply does not work hard enough during the home and away season to reach that level. Great player in his own right though.

Petracca needs to just be Petracca. There doesn't need to be any pressure to replicate Dusty or Dangerfield. I think Petracca has a different set of traits to either player as well. Petracca needs to work out how he can best use his attributes in the midfield. He is a unique player.

The thing is, none of the other sides care because it isn't happening to them. Simple as that. But the AFL are deadset corrupt.

If fit, Lever should be our captain. He is a wise head, comes across as very decisive, and is a natural leader. He would make a great captain.

Langdon is worth pick 20.

We need both pace and class. Between Young or Ash there is a player for us. Just a matter of selecting the right one. Gold Coast can have their priority pick. They are all but finished. They are struggling to hold any kid not born from Qld.

He is good and would be a really good pick up for most teams. But we already have an over abundance of crash and bash mids, most of who cant execute. Adding SPP would just compound that issue. We need pace and class.

Petracca wont leave. He will get every chance as a full time mid next year.

We need to find the next Higgins. A quality user of the ball just entering free agency.

Hopefully we apply for 2 priority picks. We are a rabble.

We could keep Jones, nurse him to 300, use his leadership at Casey whilst maintaining depth incase we are a mid short at some stage next year. Jones still has something to offer. Its a good precedent to reward loyalty at this club, even if he were well paid. We want it out there that if you join MFC we will reward your loyalty.

Agree 100%.

We need good players. Folau isnt a good player. It would be pointless. Not sure the AFL could handle such a strong personality either.

Ross Lyon would be a perfect fit. He is a brilliant tactician and a coach who preaches structure and has the ability to implement a disciplined gameplan. He would be a good get. He should be interested. He isnt silly, we have a very capable list.

Wouldnt get much.

Gus is hopeless, but his best is far better than what we have out there tonight. Viney is useless, ANB is useless. Hibberd is cooked. Wagner isnt much chop. Good to see Petracca looking dangerous. Looks well balanced and capable of tearing this game apart.
