Even the greats of the game struggle with tag from time to time. Sam Mitchell was tagged out of the game last year by Tom Mitchell and that pretty much determined the result with Sydney winning quite easily. Mitchell has 0 influence. Oliver will struggle with tags from time to time. But he will also have days where he'll win alot more then his opposition opponent.

How will you know exactly that Clarry will be able to break a tag? He's never been tagged at AFL level to experience if he could or not. Opposition clubs will start to take notice of his dominance around stoppages and then we'll find out where he can break tags. Think your going a bit too early there AF.

Just [censored] nuke the joint.

Looks really trimmed up too. Could see him ending up like Josh Kennedy from Sydney after a couple of Pre Seasons.

Another impressive performance by Clarry. A big thing i have noticed is a change of style in his game. His outside work has improved vastly and noticed him running and receiving alot yesterday which was good to see. Also i notice he didn't have a stat in the last qtr? I watched the game game but i don't remember seeing him? Was he rested?

Good article on Jake about his year out and the change of scenery to the Dees. http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/jake-melksham-reflects-on-his-yearlong-suspension-and-return-to-football-with-melbourne/news-story/87d7e87fe516329ca63cfa756db0adf6

So would i mate.

Both Ablett and Judd were also very explosive on the outside. Cripps aint that at all. Thats why Judd and Ablett were just the complete package. Speed, explosiveness, ability to win inside and outside ball and kick goals when rested up forward. Cripps is just a pure inside midfielder who has cleans hands in tight. My personal opinion is Cripps is so far off the Judd Ablett category its laughable. Judd and Ablett in their top peak were two of the best midfielders i have ever seen in my time watching football.

I don't see a Judd or Ablett in him at all. Cripps kicking is at times poor and probably a weakness he needs to work on. Both those players had the ability to do the impossible out of nothing and could turn a game instant brilliance. Cripps to me is another Greg Williams all over again.

Interesting to hear this morning that Sam Mclure had mentioned Josh Kelly was being sounded out by every single Victorian club but Melbourne was on top of that list. He then did say that Kelly was set to turn down offers and remain at GWS for 2 more years.

Well he's a game day official for the scorps and attended the BnF last night so I can assume he knows a bit or heard something last night. Not sure how this system works to be honest.

The same guy just posted this..Forgot to mention that he's also a Doggies supporter. Pedo one yearWhite stays on rookieViv stays on rookieJoel smith upgraded Dawes likely staying but may change depending on trade period (as coverage for the lack of age on kpf)

A guy who works at Casey posts on bigfooty a fair bit just mentioned that Ben Newton and Max King have been delisted.

All the best to all 3 who put in 100% effort each game. Unfortunately effort is just not enough in todays game.

Really? Source?? actually thought they would have hung onto him as a depth only for another year.

Most likely tomorrow

Hasn't been invited to any National combine or state trial so hopefully we can get first dibs on him.

Would it seriously hurt to give this guy a crack on the rookie list where a full time professional environment could do him good? Been a shining light over the finals series and at 192cm and 92kg he could add depth next year as a 3rd tall while Weidemen and Hulett continue to develop. He'd be a massive upgrade on Dawes, and has that Russell Robertson X Factor where he can pull marks out of his ass from no where. What i also love about him is his forward pressure and tackling, something our tall forwards struggle to do. Hits them hard and harasses when inside 50. 31 goals this year which is a great effort. Thoughts?

Wednesday is usually the time when exit meetings are done for majority of the clubs including the MFC. Expect announcement either Wednesday or Thursday depends when they want to officially release it to the media.

Garland ANB Dunn and Lumumba are all contracted.

If i remember Wiz was pretty bitter with the dockers in his final year due to his treatment after finishing up.

notice the hashtag #deesupayingattention.. Hopefully they are!

Haha that never gets old! ?

I thought i read somewhere that we are going offer next years 2nd round draft in an attempt to keep this years pick and use it in the draft.

The next Jayden Hunt. Has speed to burn and his leap is very impressive.
