if he is cleared I reckon he would be a punt. could be one of those that comes good later in his career word is, north will rookie him so we'd have to offer a spot on the snr list
-
I used to console myself with the dodgy fixture when at least it gave us a plying advantage. but 2 games against garenteed top 8 sides and GC is not good. we will have to improve a bit to win the same number of games as last year and improve a lot to win more and the fact that not all teams have played each other by round 18 makes the AFL a friggen laughing stock
-
getting a little ahead of yourself i reckon. both teams absolutely shafted with injuries last year, GC if fit should finish higher than us and push for finals. we should beat the bears though
-
we should go through the 6-7 possibles to draft and filter them by: manic competitiveness strong mentally willingness to work hard only the ones who tick all the boxes should be looked at further for their skill/talent. I think we can all say Watts/Toumpas/Silvia etc would not make it through this checklist. Talent only gets you so far, it is the driven players like Selwood, Fyfe who become stars. I doubt their draft camp stats were off the charts
-
im expecting the same as the last few years. very easy draw football wise but poor financially. start off with a lot of saturday games at the G. second half of the season is all sundays another friday night would be nice.
-
If you trade away your first rounder and someone bid in the first round you should lose the player. That would be fair. And I could do without the condescension
-
I think it fairer for a team to have to use their first rounder rather than several third rounders.
-
The system seems like madness. Getting one of top 3 players of the year for some third rounders? The majority of third round picks come to nothing. Sydney won't be out of top 8 for the next decade at this rate
-
The best midfielder in the draft again and they don't even have to use a pick in the top 30 Sounds completely fair!
-
Not bad. Think I'm getting there. Thanks Still sounds needlessly complicated but it is the Afl
-
the 3 of them are in our best 32, given they have experience. I wouldnt call any of them locks for our first team if we somehow had no injuries. I hope they can prove me wrong but I dont rate any of them too highly. they are still young though. to say they are better than players we just delisted does not prove anything. I guess it proves they would have played a few games last year. hopefully we get a better run at it injury wise and play out best team
-
A B graded would have been nice at least. we ended up with just C graders with hopefully some potential to be B grade a lot of good players were traded and its pretty disappointing we didnt land any. Im staggered a lot of people are rating our trade period as 'couldn't have been better'. Trading picks and getting 2 top 10 was the only real positive I can see. but I guess it is the off season, time to be positive
-
I really have no idea what any of you are on about. can there a new tread that explains this for idiots?
-
The trading of the picks was very good. but I rated it average overall. we still have a massive gap in our midfield as far as B+ and A talent goes. we also need a quality tall forward and outside class on the wing. we brought in 3 young midfield types who have underwhelmed so far in their careers but hopefully one of two of them will turn into good players but hardly anything to get excited about. this is not a rating of the recruitment staff or the club just of what was brought in. not much you can do when all the quality players dont want to come to us! I guess we roll the draft dice again and hope for good luck
-
Gees we are screwed if Gawn gets injured. could be a massive year for him. heres hoping one or two of our new recruits become good players.
-
Good luck to Fitzy. Hope he make a show of it.
-
thats mental! why would GWS do that deal? 43 for bugg and basically 10 and 63 for pick 7. we wouldnt have used 63 anyway! haha

I'm relieved Toumpas is gone so I can stop hoping he will become an afl player when I know he never will.
-
Toump gone for pick 50. Reasonable price given his output and lack of potential Kennedy and pick 29 for Howe is okay. Hopefully Kennedy can show it to be a win. We certainly won't miss either player next year. Howe was absolute trash in at least 15 games this year.
-
He either wanted to go or we didn't want him. So he said I'll wait til the end of year. What else can you say? He probably assumed he'd be going to GC and then the pies come in late with an offer he likes.
-
They all do it. Trelore, Carlisle, etc. it's the reality that players who want to be traded out will say which club they'd prefer to be traded to
-
Nah he had years to show something. Very unlikely he will make afl grade but big blokes will always get looked at
-
Some bizarre comments in here. Could somebody state what Howe has gone wrong to warrant such hatred? Even assuming he is the one pushing to leave and we are not pushing him I don't get it. He is allowed to select his club of choice. Are people pizzed that we would get more from GC? That's nothing to do with him

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB – JAKE MELKSHAM

A big off season? They are 3 average players. They may improve our depth but we won't be seeing finals.
