He was at Adelaide

Unfortunately he has the last laugh.

Further proof you don't need to go out and spend big money on a ruckman. Mason Cox as a premiership ruckman? Take note Goodwin.

Lol.. bet you were saying that last year. Pay respect where it's due. They find ways to win games. Their senior leaders were the ones who have stood up all finals stark difference to ours. They have a system that McRea has found that suits their playing list. They'll continue to add and top up with players because they're attractive destination and McRea has show he's willing to give you a go regardless if you're a delisted free agent like Markov or not. Meanwhile Goody brings in Dunstan and Schache and flat out refuses to play them.

I know. But seeing them just win a premiership doesn't make that any sweeter at all. I don't care if we can beat them or not, all that matters is who stands up in September which we've been chokers the last 2 years and that's not a good tag to carry.

They were awesome.

Wow.. I think that's on you then. That was one of the best grand finals I've watched in years in terms of how incredibly close it was and the pressure from both teams.

Was getting shouted down mid year for talking up how good Mihocek is for Collingwood from a structure point of view. Very underrated forward of the competition. Their recruitment has been absolutely spot on. They recruited for speed and when and got Bobby Hill who just fits perfectly into their game plan alongside Tom Mitchell who gave them inside hardness that they lacked last year. They'll only get better.

Hooe Kozzie Pickett was watching Bobby Hill today. Unbelievable performance.

That could have been us.

Kiss have still got it! Loved it..

Spill.... Don't leave us hanging Redman.

Spargo and Chandler.

This is actually factual incorrect. I've had the pleasure of meeting Ollie Wines sister in Maddie about a year or so after he was drafted and she started out as a local journo around the region. We crossed paths at a regional awards function one night and i actually asked this question to her. Melbourne had certainly had Wines in their sights and this was purely because Todd thought GWS were going to pick Toumpas with their early picks. Our recruiting staff thought he was a top 2 genuine talent based off his senior SANFL experience as well as winning a flag at such a young age. They were mostly set on Wines until it was made known fairly soon that GWS were then going to pass Toumpas. Maddie confirmed it was actually Todd Viney who made the decision even though Neeld preferred Wines, but Neeld had enough faith in Viney and the rest of the recruitment. Viney informally Wines family and whilst they were fairly disappointed in the decision they certainly didn't hold it against Todd as they knew it was a professional decision. So yes, unfortunately it was Todd who made the blunder.

So by this reckoning Grundy and Mabior Chol are simply off discussion on this forum because they still have years left on their contracts?

We're not letting him go.

Would not be surprised if we only recruit McAdam and put a full premium on the draft in getting in as much young talent as possible.

Sheesh.. you're going to be one disappointed man.

Massive spud

This has been debunked by Sam Edmund as pure guess work from a random nuffy supporter who texted in to SEN. SEN then did some follow up work. Edmund on to say that he doesn't think there is anything in the works and that Melbourne are now acknowledging that games need to be put into the younger players instead of going out and buying big. Sorry to disappoint.

Will be lucky to nut out 100 games with Sydney.

Sydney it is.

Yes we had ours at a rooftop bar and the lads were well behaved.

I like it. It's bold purely because still contract but I'm also led to believe that he's not willing to extend contract any further at this stage.
