I don’t think North are that far off. Well coached, played well with a poor list..

Freo can have the poor body language

With all due respect I thought he defended well and distributed well.. I wasn’t at the game, watched it on TV (sober for a change) so I could stand to be corrected.

Like Spargo game against GWS, but he was poor tonight. His kicking penetrating worries me. Maybe Jeff or JKH in

Spargo and Tyson, only ones down on form tonight. Otherwise an even contribution

Ability to turn over the ball and immediately win it back was my key take away. Watching Selwood not geting a ducking free kick and paid holding was my highlight. Umpires good

Wow.. great in the air.. great in the ruck.., even better at ground level..

I have nothing further to add..

Sorry, not real sure about your point on Scully as he chose to leave.. Getting in quality players is about either trading picks or quality players. Hoping we don’t have any high draft picks any time soon

I’ve been a big advocate for the trade.. not because I do not believe in his ability, but more about his current value. I think we have some real needs which could be filled by what Jesses currency allows. No disrespect to Jesse, but I like our side without him in it- playing a more mobile forward line like Richmond. This is just an opinion, and how I believe the game is going to continue to be played for some time. Jesses biggest challenge is not getting the ball. It is the speed in which he turns to deliver to a target. He often turns, waits and waves hand signals before he kicks it in. For me, he could learn a lot from Melksham.

This will be the making of another great Melbourne forward. Unleash the Weid!!

I think he and TMAC are too similar. We could get some serious quality in return is the reason people are looking at options to move him.

It had improved, but was so obvious on the weekend. He is frail. I vote move him on

Invest in Weid and TMAC

Said this a while ago. We have glaring holes, need class, but no one wants to give anything up for quality. We need to be creative. I’d offer Hogan, Kent, Hunt, Garlett for something decent (2-3 players or picks.

I’m still keen at the right price..

Reality is Tom Mac changed the forward landscape. Not sure that Jesse and Weid and Tommy are all required. I think we have some gaps in leg speed and kicking accuracy as outside runners, Gaff offer this, but if he re-signs, we need to look elsewhere. We may need to give up something. Even with Gaff, we are still short of runners.

I think Hogan could be the missing pawn to our side. If we could find a suitable trade to bring in 2 quality wingers, that would make us a formidable side. Richmond have shown the best model for a forward line.

I have no idea was trying to stir trouble

It’s Lewis Taylor

Haven’t seen a heap of him, what I’ve seen his form does fluctuate and he tends to play more forward these days, but has plenty of talent

Gee, I came to this thread to read some positive news about him training and how he is going to slot into the side next year... Didn't realize that the whole drugs debate was still going on.. He is a Melbourne player now... move on!!

He is our cleanest player, who looks like he has the hunger to get the best out of himself. He and Hunt will own the wings at the MCG for the next 10 years...

I would say he is done..

Yeah i agree we will be at the pointy end of the draft and will certainly have good picks. But i just feel that 'trading for stars' with pick 2 & 3 this year may not have the same weight at previous years.. I would love pick 2 & 3 in last years draft.
