Having played little footy in the past 4 years the chances of him staying on the park in the future are almost nil. even if we pay him very little it is not worth it imo. pick a kid in the draft and see how he goes. he is saying all the right things to get a contract but he lacks the passion to play footy.

Zero Friday games aside from Anzac. Tigers, Pies, Dogs, St Kilda even will do better

So before the fixture is out and many of us complain - what would people like in general between a favourable commercial draw or an easy draw where we in theory should win more games? A soft draw isnt as much of an advantage as it used to be. aside from the top few sides and GC, there is little difference between and 7 and 13th for example

Is it 3:20 local time? Usually don’t have two 3:20 games

Always good to play last years top 4 in the early rounds. Takes them a few weeks to get going. Bring it on! and the dogs v pies at dock lands constitutes a blockbuster now? According to the herald.

We absolutely need some developing young talls. It takes years to develop a ruck or tall KPF. Gawn will be done in 4 years. Bradke could make it who knows. Preuess is ok cover for Gawn. the key is to draft kids with Some football talent even if raw or not fit.

If Billy doesn’t get picked up I reckon we should offer him a role in training/ development. Young players rave about how much he helped them.

So you’re saying pick 6 is due to be a superstar?!?

The above clubs plus Carlton all let luke ball go to the pies. teams don’t take players that say they want to play for them. Nothing to do with not being a tough club

Big question marks over martins commitment and consistency. He hasn’t be able to play at a consistent high level at GC when it should be easy to stand out. plenty of talent but I doubt he’ll become a dedicated professional overnight. No wonder he wants to go to Carlton

I hear what you are saying but surely MFC know these players a lot better and there could be a big difference between them - more than we know. Based on history 1-2 of those 4 won't play more than 20 games. One will be a gun and one good. so if we know our stuff, it matters

Fantastic news! the impact of players fitness is just too great and we need every advantage we can get especially in a 22 round season.

can he perform 2nd ruck role? if yes, then I'd grab him can't do any worse than Pruess up fwd

The reason we won’t take Martin is we won’t pay his high wages and screw up our cap. Carlton are desperate and can have him

Did we really? just pointing out we didn’t use it and we have two in top 8. Good going

Langdon tomlinson picks 3 and 8 cracking trade period!!

good deal for the dags

MFC playing it beautifully. Won all trades so far and holding firm against the giants. blink first GWS. We are happy to go to the draft with 3 and 8

good lord Papley has turned into Gary Ablett Jnr in the past week!

Gees I hope we keep 3 and 8 and get 2 very good players. those that think it takes 3-5 years to see dividends, think about Stephenson, Miers, Walsh, Rozee, etc etc. an injection of pace and youth is critical for us right now

Nothing happening I reckon

looking through GWS's list: maybe Perryman? Small backman with excellent kicking. only 21 and injured last year id do 6, 2020 1st rounded and Perryman for 3

Id take 6 and Tarranto get it done!! haha

I mean a 4th rounder is worthless... gets you already retired Eddie Betts or a crocked Sauce OR if you are Hawks, you can someone get a gun number 1 draft pick KPF. admittedly he has done 3 knees but he is worth so much more than that. how do they do it??!? i would draft patton for a 2nd rounder any day of the week

last time we traded up in the top 10 we landed Clarry that is all
