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.

Viney is useless. We would be better off with Petracca getting thaat time.

Ben King looks pretty good. If we did land pick 2 and GC didnt get a PP, would we give up our pick 2 for King or keep it. I would probably keep it but would have no problems if we given it up. On exposed form King looks at least worthy of it. GC have picked astutely in that last draft. They really need to keep King.

New balance are a great shoe. I wear them running. Its all I will buy. The club dont deserve New Balance to stick by us. So good on New Balance. Hopefully MFC pull their finger out next year.

Cripps, Curnow, Walsh, Mckay, possibly Coniglio. Carlton will start to really make inroads next year. If they get expected improvement from Dow, SPS, Stocker, Fischer, they will possibly make the 8.

I agree. The decision to use Gawn to tag Grundy is troubling. I would like to know Goodwin's logic behind it? On face value it looks ambitious, if not completely stupid. Grundy is a glorified midfielder, and we are rather contested, we werent in any real danger of Grundy smashing us in clearances if left to his own devices. Furthermore, last time Gawn went toe to toe with Grundy - Gawn came out on top. If any of the coaching staff bothered to watch the Collingwood vs Hawthorn game a few weeks earlier they would have seen that the way to beat Grundy is to push forward and damage the scoreboard - as McEvoy did. Supercoach (a gimmick game that heavily favours popular players) stats mightnt of shown it that day but McEvoy was far more the effective player vs Grundy that day.

If GC land a priority pick and push us back to pick 3, then an ideal scenario for us would be to offload pick 3 for Ben King.

Lever would make a fine captain. Level headed bloke, reads the game well, speaks very well, he would be worth listening to if he spoke up among the group. I think he is an absolute stand out as a potential leader for the MFC.

Omac spent a lot of time forward as a junior. Considering the switch has been beneficial to Petty, its worth a shot to see if it could help Omac. Plus, it worked for Tom Mac to some degree. Not tanking just tinkering around during a year thats already lost. I hope we do rest players now. I wouldnt be risking any players even remotely sore. No point. Season is done. Look to 2020.

As a ruck, Gawn has had a far superior year than Grundy. Its not even close. Gawn is a pure ruckman, Grundy is just a fourth midfielder who competes in the ruck. Big difference. If the AA was done seriously then Gawn is the only choice.

Given his previous ACL history it was a stupid trade at the time. History has proven it also to be a stupid trade as of late 2019. With a bit of luck we move Mahoney, Viney and Taylor on, and bring in some experts who make better decisions.

We arent getting pick 2 anyway. GC will be handed a PP. The kid will probably go on to be an ice dealer down the track or something - whatever players seem to learn up at that club.

Viney - Cannot knock endeavor Oliver - Big last quarter Preuss - Good back up Fritsch - Turn over merchant Hannan - VFL level player ANB - Delist after season Brayshaw - Lucky we're short (injuries) Petracca - Very good game Harmes - Solid and consistent McDonald - Looked different player Weideman - Was clunking some (good sign) Hibberd - Past used by Salem - Great as always Frost - Had good patches Petty - Shows good signs
