Delistings
Salem, Brayshaw, JT, Melksham, Hibberd, JKH, Weiderman, ANB, Hullet, are all players that barely played this year that should make a difference next year (some more than others obviously) Add the improvement of Oliver and Petracca in particular and I'm bullish about our prospects of finals next year. this is not including others we might trade in. Its not like we lost the 1st round pick, we cleverly traded it to get Oliver and Weeds in a stroke of genius

Billy Stretch Appreciation Thread
agree, he is progressing very well. When he came on the scene last year with that frame I thought no games in first year then maybe a handful in year two but he has done very well. He is so professional with training and preparation and is a great addition to the team will never be the Star player but will hopefully be very important with some much needed run and spread and tidy skills.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CLAYTON OLIVER
He was the main positive out of today. 9 contested possessions, showed he can take a mark and most importantly looks so comfortable at afl level on the ball or smashing someone is a tackle. If he stays fit he will play 15 games plus. Wont be long til he has the best handball in the team

what a joke. Oliver didnt pin his arms. the bloke went to kick the ball like an overhead kick type motion, so he was moving that way and off balance. hope the senior players pay the fine for him. he would barely have gotten a pay cheque yet!

the headlines in the papers are a disgrace. NEVER before has a player with 2 year left on a contract had the headline: "talks put off til the end of season". that phrase always refers to a player having one season left on their contract. the casual observer (idiot) that doesnt read the article will look at that and say - oh Hogan is gone. just puts pressure on hogan and is negative publicity for the Dees. The media always kicks clubs when they are down (aside from the bombers). when we win a few they'll be the first to jump on the bandwagon saying we will make the top 4. such lazy, biased journalism

All we can do is hope Toumpas turns it around and becomes the better player

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CLAYTON OLIVER
im wondering if it more the trend of inside, strongly built mids being a safer bet with a high pick. Guys like Toump, O'rourke, Aish that are elite users of the ball and that killed it in the juniors just dont seem to have as good as strike rate as the more inside bigger guys - Brayshaw, Wines etc. not saying it is that cut and dry but it may be a trend. all about risk and reward I guess. we would have argued in 2012 that Wines will have a impact straight away but his ceiling is not very high. but these days you dont need too many elites users of the ball - once you can kick well, its all about the stoppages

Darcy Parish
The under18 Talent dude was on SEN this morning - he is also affiliated with the geelong falcons. sorry didnt hear his name or title properly as my 2 yo was yelling nonsense (takes after his old man) he was a massive wrap for Parish. paraphrasing: most complete midfielder, will go in top 5. likened him to Joel Selwood! and this is not a he might turn out like selwood - he said that at the same age they are very similar. Andy M asked about the knocks on him not being as super competative as Selwood and he said Parish is a country boy and is hard at it and driven to succeed. he mentioned, curnow and mathison as well and was positive but not nearly as glowing as for Parish by the end of it I was pretty keen on parish!

i have to admit it is concerning that EQ think Parish is the 14th best talent (best available) in this draft and we may take him with 3. I have no clue about how good these kids are but the one thing I have noticed is that Parish is not often referred to as hard/tough or massively competitive like a lot of the others in the top 14. also his slight frame has been highlighted. I know we cant have a team of Vineys but these outisde players seem riskier than the Brayshaws of the world. tough choice! it would be fascinating to know if the Dees already knew who we would take at 3 when we traded for it or the plan was just to have 2 top picks
