DistrACTION Jackson

The fact is being an AFL footballer is not a 'normal' job. The players get a fantastic salary(most of them) at s young age. They get looked after and have great perks and semi-celebrity status. So to have that privilege they should have to deal with what comes their way. The AFL is now just a business, as a club I would want the freedom to improve the business. Being able to trade freely would do that. If the AFLPA wanted free agencies then the clubs should have freedom also.

I am so glad they no longer run this club. I hope we never go through something like that again. Let the skilled footy minds deal with coaching/recruiting. Leave admin to the business minds.

So which format are we using for 2015?

Imagine if we start playing finals regularly again... we might crack 50,000 one day!

He would've got rubbed out for weeks on that hit now.

How old is his son?

I think he slipped due to his combine results. Which is good for us, he seems like a natural footballer.

Are there any photos from this training session?

They both played a lot as sub so it's a bit harsh. JKH had a 25 touch game from memory. I'm actually amazed Salem played as much as he did with very little preseason, Roos must really rate him.

Grimes is great as a defender. I really don't rate him at all in the midfield so I hope that can leave him out of there.

I definitely think we should leave anyone under 23 out of the leadership group. That's not saying they aren't capable, it's just better for their development. For me it should be: C- Jones VC- Dawes and Dunn Leadership group- Lumumba, Vince, Cross That should be enough, maybe add Grimes and Garland if not.

So this morning I decided to go down to the Paleo den cafe after my gym work out to check it out. And of course I saw a bunch of the boys there enjoying their paleo diet. Viney, Salem, Toumpas, Petracca, Brayshaw, Frost, Newton and Stretch were all there. Seem like a good bunch of guys.

We will likely take a ruck in the rookie draft. Didn't Lowden get delisted?

It makes it hard to get excited about the draft. Young kids starting their sporting careers tonight and another's has ended along with his life.

St Kilda being scared off by psych testing could be the greatest thing to happen to MFC.

Yeah I thought about starting a thread on this as well. Very sad news, hopefully they have a minute silence at the Draft tonight. RIP

I'm happy either way. We could do with both a power forward and another mid. Love having picks 2 and 3 but look forward to the day we have pick 18 instead.

That is one thing I've thought of as well. Scully was small.....like a rat, Morton was probably the skinniest player to be drafted since Josh Thurgood and the picture of Gysberts trying to do some triceps weights makes me laugh every time. Thank god these guys are big boys.

Would be a great result if we take Petracca and Brayshaw and Mckenzie slips to us at pick 40. I think we will go tall at that pick in any case.

My hopes: #2 Petracca #3 Brayshaw #40 McKenzie #53 Langdon

I hope we go Petracca #2 and Brayshaw #3 as that is what I picked on that comp on the website 2 weeks ago. Bet I get screwed.

GWS have a pick before Collingwood so it is also unlikely he would slip past them

It would be great if McDonald slipped to us I'd be stoked

If he's available that would be a great get. Lots of potential.

God people come out with some crap. Prestia's family are massive Demons supporters, I don't see him begging to come home. These guys are professional footballers, once in the system they would completely forget about who they barracked for as a kid.
