Martin and saad are line coaches?

Great!

Very much the same situation with the Australian cricket team and when they windies greats retired!

I'm hoping that he trains with Maysie in the off season. Just imagine what May be possible!

Would love him to come back to the Dees

According to SEN he is staying at Essendon

Sumimassen

The whole move to MFC makes sense from the point of view that Preuss gets a gig as a no.1 ruck elsewhere. Could be a win for him and MFC. I wonder if he could help land one of our trade targets. GWS, ESS, NTH?

Definitely worth keeping. We need to sort out whatever is holding him back.

I'll believe it if it comes from Judd's grandmother

I seem to remember Oscar playing mentioned as a condition of Tom resigning? It does sound unlikely tho

A deal with North?

I would only be offering him in a trade. If he is kept on that is good also. We need to trade for Saad.

Always interesting to have this discussion every year! IMHO we need to target 2 ready made players from other clubs using a few players with something that others clubs can utilise. The ones most likely would be Preuss to GWS, ? Perryman and TMAC/Sparrow/Dunkley to Ess for Saad. If Daniher is open to coming to us and we can sort out his issues that would solve some of our glaring issues. All of our draftees must have kicking and marking skills

It is a very disappointing outcome when all appeared to be tracking well. I am hopeful that we would continue to support Harley as part of the Melbourne family. I help thinking about the loss of Liam Jurrah. I realise that football is a business but we are all human beings and are all flawed.

crucifixion? Good. Line on the left, one cross each!

I am hoping that we can get the most skilled ball users available at the draft. Need skills badly above all else

Don't understand the possess the ball without scoring game plan. If you don't keep scoring you can't win. Is this a soccer defence based plan? I would prefer a mix of the ballistic style and the possession style. I guess we don't have the consistency yet to deliver a top 4 berth.

The black knight always triumphs!

Tend to agree. He has people in all the positions that are ahead of him. Small back-smith, wing-langdon, small forward Spargo. When we were running off HB into the centre bounce he may have been a good bet. I'm not sure if he could play as a mid in bursts with the difference being his pace compared to our regulars. Unfortunately I think that Pickett would be ideal in that role too!

We have beaten another top 8 side!

Can salem not play outside and wing?

Been thinking about this. Would he not be better utilised as the outside mid with kicking skills. We are not getting enough from him

Too many players around the ball to get a run on

If English plays is he the type of ruck the bulldogs look to play through? If so TMac would be the best to keep him accountable and allow others to play their roles. If not Tmac could provide an outlet and others could take the ruck contests forward and back. Will be a good test for Tmac
