sisso

as long as he ends up as good a player as what we think he can be

Not sure how anyone could possibly be saying he's going to be a fail if we go for him at pick 3 when he hasn't even entered the AFL system! Just as likely the opposite occurs and the guy we get at 3 instead is a nice solid footballer and Jackson goes on to become a game breaking superstar

Wouldn't completely disregard Brown as a backup for 1 season at ether end, considering our key position players are quite injury prone...Walker would have been better but is going to North

Agree have to bid on him if he’s a good as everyone is saying. No matter how many inside mids we have if he ended up a Cripps level dominant force you’d happily have him.

Spotting a new Jag on the road is a fairly rare event At that price point most people buy a BMW

Please let his calves hold together over pre-season....we've had such bad luck with injuries over the last 10 years, but getting a player of Harley's calibre fit and firing would be a big turnaround and amazing for our side

I remember being at that game in 2012 he tore us a new one...back in the dark Mark Neeld era and we copped a pasting from the Suns at home EDIT - actually might have been a different game according to records we won that one!

I assume we could just sign him as a delisted FA

If he passes the medical we definitely should take the risk: ridiculously talented player

Its nearly worth taking him just to give Carlton the s**ts.....Collingwood or Richmond wouldn't hesitate, why are we so damn nice??

Perhaps we just don't want to pay him $700k+ PA...makes sense to me

Martin for free would be a dream result, but you can bet Carlscum will do some salary\contract manipulation to scare us off

Fair enough, but in that case for you games at the G are interstate

How could any MELBOURNE supporter actually want us to play home games interstate....??

Yes, now I can go to even more footy and escape my children! (who should be coming with me really) Great news

Not a big fan of this trade but I can understand why the club went this way. Will miss Frosty's crazy wild bull charges out of the backline!

None of these scribes really have any idea....a lot of them had West Coast bottom 4 in 2018

Welcome Adam, lets hope he covers the ground well at the G and gives us some of that run and carry we desperately need

I’m not a huge fan of Jack either, we often look better balanced on ball without him in the team but...it isn’t going to happen anytime soon

I hear what you’re saying but we never quite seem to get our act together. I keep hearing about what a great side we have but on the field it’s generally more shattered dreams. Who knows if 2018 was just a lucky season can anyone say with certainly it wasn’t? We’ve endured another season from hell and if pick 2 nets a significantly better player than pick 3 we have every right to be furious that the AFLs pet basketcase gets it over us...

Prob because apart from last year we haven’t been that much better than Gold Coast for the last decade

TMac just hit form when he wrecked his knee and missed the rest of the season: we didn't win a game after his injury, was the final straw in a hellish season.

the Cats can bugger off all they do is poach everyones players

Experts at finding a way to stuff it up

Hey at least we're in the game...
