Good luck Jesse

We should be looking at each list and through the second tier for a 22-25yo who can be Maxes back up. Hopefully develop under him And maybe take his spot in 3 years. We have Jackson, Weed, Tomo and other talls that can step in if desperate. To recruit McKernan who is more a fwd than ruck doesn’t make sense to me. Also he is pretty average player.

Good lord

Saints just went from getting Crouch for free to having to trade. Ouch! pick 23 is harsh on the crows

From Tom Browne North Melbourne’s Ben Brown is reportedly set to announce his preferred trade destination, with Melbourne the landing spot. A report from Channel 7’s Tom Browne indicates Brown will name the Demons as his future home after a nightmare 2020 season with the Kangaroos. “Trade update. I expect Ben Brown will nominate and end up at Melbourne,” Browne wrote.

Pick 18 for Brown and Polec? I could be OK with that ? seriously though, we don't need Polec's wages and I don't rate him. I'd prefer we do the second rounder for Brown as a stand alone deal.

Pick 7 seems fair to me. He’d be on a big contract and has amazing talent. Watch him play 20 games next year. He just Didn’t want to play for the bombers. And I completely understand that

Averaged 9 disposals and 1.8 tackles this year. lazy

Really quick but his work outside 50 is poor. poor awareness and decision making I reckon teams figured this one-trick pony out and now he is ineffective. often goes missing for large parts of the game

Nonplussed

Look forward to seeing Marty float across a pack effortlessly taking nice marks. Will put pressure on Lever. a natural footballer. Very solid

For all intensive purposes that’s the worse news I’ve heard all day

Wow quite the tizzy about an ageing wingman past his best signing a 3 year deal id prefer we look elsewhere Keep coming with the rumours/inside word. You’re a new character to the madness of DL and I’m likin it

True. But right now we are not close to the scoring power of most good teams

Cmon mate, you seriously think every AFL player has excellent inside 50 kicking skills? We have less than 5 on our list.

his kicking inside 50 is excellent as evidenced this year his tackling is aggressive and I would rate it as 'very good' so there is two for you. next step is to score more goals. he made progress this year and also increased his kicking length which was very poor early days and can kick it 50 now

is this a joke? includes a couple of kids, a couple of blokes we are trying to trade, a gun mid, and blokes who don't try like Melksham. offers very little pressure. doesn't compare to top 8 fwd lines even with Brown in there

Is it too much to ask to win the flag for Jonsey next year? rest him for the prelim. Then he can kick the winner against the Cats after the siren in the GF

Love Jones but he cannot add much to the team, certainly not consistently anymore. I don’t see any parallels with McDonald. Junior was captain and playing well, he should have played on but was chopped due to an overly aggressive rebuild if getting to 300 games had anything to do with this decision, I’d be ropable. We are not a charity. If you deserve a contract, you get one, regardless of the number of games played but I love jones and hope he plays well

I agree. Although it could come down to mismanagement of their cap. I don’t think they expected to have so many players needed huge deals. Grundy, Moore, Treloar, Adams etc. now with DeGeoy needing a big deal they are complete screwed and need to offload a star. but if they are doing that by creating a narrative of Treloars health issues it is not only disgusting but stupid as who would take on his salary

They didn’t have as much luck with Ben Cousins, last seen in jail

Guys relax, just another rumour from a hack journo Hogan is done. he is massive into the gear and couldn't get his head right even back home with the support of family and friends. I've always liked the bloke but he chances of him being a good quality AFL player are almost nil. why do you think Freo want to get rid of him??

28yo 180 games. LG experience. seemingly solid pro worth a look. obviously we would need to offer more than 1-2 yr contract to get him over at this stage of his career. Experienced leaders with finals experience are always good and leadership/professionalism is still an issue for us

Like MFC, it seems 2018 was an aberration for T Mac as well. He had a cracker of a year and looked so good up front. its ancient history now. we move on

Man I love the off-season! there were no excuses the last two years either but screw it, why not be positive for once
