Sooo you agree with me right? I mean, I did just say he was one of the worst coaches I've seen in my time supporting AFL?

Mate Neeld was one of the worst coaches I've seen in my time supporting at AFL level. A player has to take some responsibility for their own actions as well and can't be left purely on the coach.

Yes you're correct. Maybe you can take a dose of this everytime you're willing to argue against me at every opportunity hey? No one is doubting his talent. He had a bucket loads of it. His work ethic at training and ability to apply himself on the track was pretty poor. That's on him, not Neeld. I mean, if he had lost interest by the time he got to North then again, speaks more of him not willing to fight for his career during his time there. The likes of Cook, Morton, Gysberts were all high draft picks who Neeld was happy turf out pretty quick which looking back now was the right decision. All 3 never troubled us at all at clubs they were traded off to.

Not sure how you can categorically state he would have flourished under Goodwin. Like what's this based on exactly? Not every high draft pick player has flourished under Goodwin. Gysberts for all his talents was an incredibly poor trainer and was usually in the bottom 3 of the time trials and didnt apply himself well on the training track. When North recruited him he turned up in poor shape and only lasted a year on the list with 0 AFL games to his name. Can't blame Neeld for every player failing. Sometimes it comes back on the player itself if they desperately want an AFL career.

This is true. I do remember clearly one by the name of Jordan Gysberts who had a very impressive junior career. Won a dozen league BnF medals coming through the ranks and was touted to be a future 200 gamer. Boy did he fizzle..

Becoming right up there with Jeff Farmer as one of my all time favourite MFC players. Some of the [censored] this kid can do on the footy field is nuts. Please re-sign Kozzie..

Yes

Also, don't want to come across as a debbie downer but if Kozzie Pickett does indeed head back to SA then that's another first rounder in the bank, possibly two.

Jeepers... impressive junior career.

Has this been publicly announced?

Anyone know the current situation with these two? Currently uncontracted but yet there is no news on whether they have re-signed or not? I thought the cut off date was last week but yet there are clubs still delisting players today.

Crazy..

Keeler is a hard pass for me.

Is Shane still running around? My god he was another genuine freak at suburban level when he got delisted from North..

Competitive beast with a strut of arrogance. From a physical perspective he's a pretty well built lad with thick set of thighs. He's certainly ready ready to match it with the senior bodies but I genuinely think having a year off next year and going through the same induction as what Petracca did back in 2015 will set him up well for a good AFL career.

Well no, it's not laughable at all. As I said, depends who you talk to around Shepparton. That's a well known folklore about Adem's 21 goals at schoolboy level. I've had debate with people who were/is involved with the Shepparton United Footy club and alot of the opinions pointed toward that had Damien had the same dedication and maturity as what Adem had then he would have easily had the better career. He was an unreal cricketer as well and at one stage all his attention was on that and not footy which was more of a social outing for him. Probably worth noting that he would also barely train over the summer or week nights. In his under 18's year Damien had already kicked 100 goals as a 17 year old. A rare feat at any junior level. He was a star footballer just like Adem. He just didn't want to work hard for it.

Yeah pass for me. Rookie list at best.

If he's there at our pick would you personally choose him PSD?

I presume they have been resigned but just haven't been announced publicly? Isn't their a cut off date for list changes which was last week? It is a bit odd that it's been left this late?

If our recruiting team continue on with this mindset then why bother ever drafting a key forward again? Gotta back JT's team in that eventually we'll actually recruit a future key forward who'll go and play a 10 year career for the Dees. Remember it also comes down to our development and coaching team. At the end of the day it's up to them to develop the player. The recruitment team just picks them. I'm personally not a fan of Jefferson myself but that shouldn't stop us looking at other options like a Phoenix Foster or Harry Lemmey who I rate much the Jefferson.

We're definitely putting some time and work into George from a due diligence point of view. From what I've been told from MB officials, clubs looking at George have assured him that the focus is on having a 10- 12 year career and not trying to impact from day 1 of pre season. Focus and expectations will be in getting his knee right and soaking up the education and professionalism of AFL football. I believe clubs like Sydney and Melbourne would be the perfect fit for George in this instance. He's Wangaratta lad who's a powerful footballer with enormous amount upside. Played majority forward this year and dominated with his power and strength. He doesn't win a lot of thr footy as of yet but he doesn't need to with his hurt factor and damage up forward. The goal for him would be to transition slowly into a midfield role like Petracca has dome over his career.

Future 2nd and our pick 37 for 22?

He's was out of contract I believe.

Schache on a 1 year deal? Interesting. Make or break for his career. I like it.
