Petracca or Brayshaw. Ahern looked impressive as well. Any of those players would add a lot to our list.

I don't think Tyson or Polec will stop this season. Both players have blown the season apart, many traded them out of supercoach thinking they'd reached their limit - but they are getting better. I think Dom Tyson will just keep going now.

Instead of people harping on about Kelly Vs Salem/Tyson, just be happy we've done well out of the trade. I think it all bemuses Paul Roos because he was going to take Salem at number 2 anyway.

If the draft was re-done, Kennedy Harris would be a top 10 pick for mine. JKH has a will to win the ball, then a self belief to try make something of it. Great intensity, great mind set, looks like a real learner. I'd pull the trigger on him in the top 10 if the draft was done tomorrow. Would have to squeeze no 41 for Collingwood in there somewhere as well.

Tyson would've been spent. Don't forget it is basically Dom's first year. GWS must surely be kicking themselves atm, I know Kelly is good.. But Tyson is looking sublime.

I wasn't overly impressed with Durdin last night. Be interesting to see Goddard, I have not seen him play yet. If a KP doesn't establish himself by the end of the year, IMO we might look to off load the pick.

There is a unique inner drive about some kids who have done the hard yards. I'd rather us take a punt on one of these kids - than take a punt on another private school bottom feeder.

Hogan will help a lot.. The addition of Garlard will sure up our backline. Atm we are playing without our best defender, I don't think our KP stocks are that bad. It is more of a case of having a full list up and running. We could do with a young forward though, no doubt.

Tyson is a gun. Absolute gun.. We underrate Dommy T. This is basically his first year, he hasn't played much AFL football. Tyson is killing it, we haven't had a kid show this much - since god knows when. Dom Tyson is one player everyone is taking for granted, not just MFC supporters. I hear the media rave on about Kelly - given he is good, looks great - but they take D.Tyson for granted. This kid just racks em and stacks em - and will only get better. It is like Wines last year and Selwood in his first couple of years, they look ready made, so the media get complacent about their rate of improvement.

That is because we draft poorly. Go tell Port Adelaide the draft doesn't matter... Wines, Wingard, Hartlett and Boak - A very good core of quality players from quality draft picks. MFC just drafted terribly, Gysberts, Cook, Morton, Toumpas and Strauss were all laughable picks. MFC needed go getters and ball winners, determined players who show absolute resolve - and the best we could come up with is that lot - stick men with no aggression.

Also fits the bill. Either way, we can drive up the price of O'Rourke/Plowman and then target Boyd/Patton, or vice versa. GWS are going to be under pressure to balance their cap in the next few years - they'll be trying to pay as little to mid tier players as they can. I think O'Rourke and Plowman are players that could come to us relatively easily. Do we need KP's more than mids? If we can tie up Hogan, then a Hogan/Boyd combo would go along way to getting MFC back on track.

It might be a bit early to call on MacRae, he looks good - but I will reserve judgement to the end of the year. Stringer looks good as well, I don't think we'll be taking any players off the bullies, they should have freed up space in their cap. I agree with you on Jack Steven, that would be one of our better results - the kid is already elite, he is very good, underrated atm. St Kilda should also have freed up cap space and if Stevens left, it wouldn't be to our club. Sidebottom would be perfect, dual sided, inside - outside - midfielder who can play forward or back.. Loves a goal and clean by foot. I think Sidebottom is the one we should go hard at. He'll have a good year this year, and he'll also probably get limited time in the midfield - given their luxury of superstar mids. Collingwood have Beams back, Pendles runs through there, Swan, now Adams - with up and comers like Kennedy, Elliot and also Harry O and McCaffer spending time in the middle. I think Shiel will go to Richmond, he dates Williams daughter, but he'd be a good target for us - as would O'Rourke, who fits the Tyson mould of having a lot of talent, yet for reasons outside of his control, he hasn't been able to play to his potential, I think we could package a deal that could see us snare this kid as steak knives. GWS are smart to trade for picks, at least until they know the foundation of who wants to stay/go - and the structure of their side going forward, picks buy them time.. I think we should continue to deal with GWS, it is a unique situation where both sides can win out of the right deal.
