No that's not what I said. I just had concerns with the depth of our tall stocks and felt we still needed a developing young tall in the wings in case a Brown, Weideman etc go down. I'd rather be putting games into a young 18/19 developing tall like a Callow who is physically ready then say a Mitch Brown who will now most likely get a gig come round 1. Petty imo is still a fair way off. He missed 12 months through injury and isn't even doing full training and still doing modified work. Again, question marks over the durability of his body.

Mitch Brown is 31 years and we are in trouble and going nowhere if he's playing round 1. Ben Brown is half cooked with knee issues which we were well aware pre trade period. Petty has missed 12 months of football due to injury and will be a fair way off match fitness. Tom McDonald is cooked. He'll never get back to his best and people need to start accepting that. Weideman has now gone down. McDonald takes the number 1 defender now and Jackson the 2nd best. Defenders will be laughing.

Petty is a defender and has been training down back all pre season.

He's finished mate.

Said this before pre Brown and Weideman injury that I felt we still lacked depth in our forward department and was amazed we had not invited a Jackson Callow or Kaine Baldwin as a train on instead of Kobe Farmer and Deakyn Smith. Two big strong key forwards who are physically ready to go. Callow invited to train with Hawthorn as of last week.

Defenders will be licking their lips now seeing McDonald as your main key forward.

FFS! Not one bit excited about this season at all. Already done with it. Weideman and now Brown.

Yes because out of all this Eddie is the victim.. He deserves everything that comes at him. AFL were too soft in standing up to him, so he's getting what he rightly deserves. https://www.thecourier.com.au/story/3978121/mcguire-says-his-comments-were-a-joke/ Hope he FRO for good the dirty grub.

Good luck mate, been through it myself. Surround yourself around some good positive people. Will at least ease the burden.

[censored] see ya. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Jason Taylor has been on record to say that we weren't as interested as the media made out to be on Max Holmes. Laurie and Bowey were always first choice .

Recovery through knee op

Can that first video, its already loaded! https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/860177/behind-the-draft?videoId=860177&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1612820720001#

Melbourne are releasing a behind the scenes footage on last year's draft. Sorta similar to last year? Can't wait to watch it!

Great initiative by Gawn and Goodwin. They cop a fair bit both these two for their leadership but this is the kind of stuff that unites clubs and plays a huge factor in club culture and unity. Good to see Mark Williams revving the boys up as well in those videos! As a coach back in his day he would have put in a lot of time and effort into some of those past players he came up against. Once again, well done Goodwin and Max.

This. People are far too easily sucked in by the bloodlines. Kobe Farmer will only pick himself on our list based on his current training standards not because of his last name.

No. The club might do a live stream at best.

Simon buckley is an absolute gronk of a human. Plays footy up in Echuca and his treatment towards some of the netballers have been disgusting. Its no surprise that he's come up with that argument against H The fact @don't make me angry has been sucked into believing this gronk makes you question society in general. https://www.news.com.au/national/footy-player-simon-buckley-admits-damaging-ex-girlfriends-car/news-story/897e17cefcd77a7bbc140431f587d3ba?sv=70544ebd71f1a5a16359b0c57d9eb3bc#:~:text=COLLINGWOOD player Simon Buckley has,handed to police on Friday.

Who would have thought huh..

No. The way I look at it is they've taken team photos with Kobe and Deakyn in it. If selected by the Dees then they'll release the ones they are in. If not selected, then they will only release the photos whatever ones they are not in. They would have taken team photos with both kids from an individual and also both at once.

Ben Brown, Koz Pickett.

Was in the official team photo today.

Cheers Pickett. How was younger Kobe?

Funny that. Seeing some of the self proclaimed doctors on here, they've already ruled him out for the year?

Which takes you to about round 2 or 3 for a potential return.
