I’ve clearly missed something here... where’s it say he’s ‘slow’. Clayton Oliver is an inside mid- certainly not slow. Welcome Kyle! Was shaping to go in the early rounds of the draft this year as a mature-ager. We basically get a player an and extra second/third round pick in the national draft; good outcome. If he’s anything like his brother, who was also overlooked by Sydney as a father/son, then we’re onto a very good player.

Who are GC tipped to take? Dunkley was a shoe-in for number 1 a week ago.

It said later in the article that players who retired last year (Cyril Rioli) could only be in the mid-season draft if they'd also nominated for the 2018 National Draft. https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-02-07/midseason-draft-when-is-it-and-how-will-it-work

Don’t understand the gloom about the mid-season draft- I’m a bit excited by the prospects. Tim Kelly was playing WALF two years ago. Plenty of high quality players plucked from the state leagues in the last few years!

Who can clubs recruit? Clubs will be able to draft any footballers who have already been on an AFL list, or who nominated for the 2018 NAB AFL Draft. Any player delisted at the end of 2018 cannot be re-selected by the club that delisted them, unless they nominated for last year's NAB AFL Draft. There will be a five-day window for players to nominate for the Mid-Season Rookie Draft from Monday April 29 to Friday May 3.

Open to anyone.

Beautiful and deeply moving speech and video. Very keen to see Baker do well.

I'm an optimist and will never go into a match thinking that we can't win, but realistically, finals aren't going to happen this year. With that said, I am very optimistic about next year in a similar vain to Geelong 2006/07 and Richmond 2016/17. Our best football is very good and our best 22 is outstanding; this year has proven that neither of those things are a 'given' and are far easier said than done. Plenty to keep me interested in the next two-thirds of the season though. Liking the look of Lockhart, Hore, Baker and Petty, and am very happy to see Hunt back in the team and playing with confidence. Excited by the hopeful return of Lever, Hannan Kolodjashnij and May. AVB is a favourite of mine and we were a much better team with him in it last year; praying for a miracle for his foot/ankle/leg/lower-body. If we can get a few continuous games into our best 22 before then end of the year, that should be a good springboard into 2020.

Completely unrecognisable from the kid that got towelled-up against stkilda last year. Played with aggression and confidence. A very exciting prospect.

Good debut and showed a lot of the traits that we’ve been wanting to bring into the team. He’ll hopefully pick up the pace and awareness with a bit more experience at senior level; his brain was definitely on VFL pace on a few occasions. I liked his instincts to run, carry and attack- we need more of that.

In his interview he said wing/half forward.

Much harder to mark cleanly too.

Was just looking this up to post here as well. The torp is a thing of beauty when it works... which is maybe 15% of the time.

That’s huge news about Lever! Great if he can have a run around in the VFL.

That may be in reference to fitness to play senior football. By the way Goodwin describes it, sounds like he’ll just be making a cameo at Casey this weekend.

Ankle injuries in his U18 year and some more since.

It's incredible. 1 against us in 2014 and the other against Collingwood at the start of last year. Horrid record.

Was excellent in the finals last year, which I think has brought him to the attention of a lot of the football media and public. Has gone to the next level this year, but I don't think it's come at a huge surprise to any MFC fans as it's always felt like a matter of time for Salem to bring it all together. Looks fit, healthy and confident.

3 x Best and Fairest and 6 seasons as captain puts him as a champion of the club. It is phenomenal to look back and see what was asked of him every week before Vince, Cross and Tyson were brought into the club. Have really liked seeing him spending time in the forward line this year. Gets the ball in tight, can find the goals and makes some big tackles. Definitely not a defender or a wingman, but there may be an ongoing spot for him as a forward.

An enjoyable 49 seconds! (also the name of my sex-tape)

Open microwave door. Remove membership. Put card back in wallet.

Lucky they didn’t match our bid.

Good viewing in the 90s but became completely ego driven this century. Very little football, zero insight, one dimensional humour... basically an hour of [censored] measuring.

Tragically, the number 4 pick from 2009 is similar: 2010: 23 games 2011: 0 2012: 0 2013: 0 2014: 2 2015: 0 2016: 0

Get him back!
