Rather give him away to West Coast than see him in a Geelong jumper.

The midfielder bias in the Brownlow is beyond concerning and its time for a change.

Admitting I have never seen Jefferson live (or on TV) but Jack Watts becoming a handy defender during his last years with the Dees and maybe Jefferson has similar traits. It does not bother me which end of the field Jefferson flourishes; as long as he does.

The kid was very good. I only hope Howes can have an injury free season as he should become a regular first team player.

I would replace Bowey with Hore and bring in Woewodin and Fullarton for Laurie for Schache who can both spend the rest of the year in the magoos.

Only one game but GC are finally looking like a team with some backbone.

Adelaide would be as good as Sydney if Grundy went there. They should make the eight this year.

The only way is up, feeling disappointed is an understatement.

So glad we didnt trade all those picks for Harley Reid.

Well thats game over, a few areas to work on starting with kicking.

Spargo FFS

God this game has some stupid rules

Trac needs to be a perm forward, makes such a difference

Worst sports job in Australia would be playing in Melbourne's forward line.

Argh kicking accuracy is porridge atm

Does anyone know what the black armbands are in honour of?

Its only Round 1

Good loyal Adelaide Hills boy, congrats Tommy.

Thankyou Rohan Connolly, as always a great balanced article from an experienced journalist.

Really happy for Howes, has had to wait for his opportunity but I really hope he nails it. From the sadness of losing Gus hopefully rises a new dawn for the Wingers club.

I'm sorry but I'm still attending DR (death ride) meetings after last year's addiction with Fremantle.

I would play Schache to provide some chop out for Max and allowing JVR to play perm forward. Grundy will be keen to play big one.

Would love to see Gus still involved in the club in some capacity. With his intelligence, tact and diplomacy I could see him as a future Ambassador or even a CEO.

What a class act: A letter from Gus (melbournefc.com.au)

We should be able to access a RFA without the matching process.
