Very possible. Support for Maric, tutelage for Vickery & McBean who are both still ordinary ruckmen.

1. When was he ever touted the "next Moloney", by anyone? 2. If he really is the next Moloney, we shouldn't waste time - sack him now.

I'm fascinated to know who. I think it would be a case of buying his intellectual property, as he is very well known as being a master of his craft despite wearing concrete boots, and for being a capable teacher of young ruckmen. If true, the offer would likely involve an ongoing assistant role once the playing contract is up. My guess is Geelong.

He did spend his first couple of years as one of Riewoldt's understudies...

Target.

Will retire.

Todd Viney was a big fan pre-draft. Also worth mentioning that he was a Melbourne supporter, only in that it may help luring a player who otherwise may have no interest in belonging to MFC.

Cutler?! You're on drugs...

Or maybe the stupidity of its supporter group...

I think Grimes, Michie, Matt Jones, Bail and maybe Newton getting serious game time and high possession counts, are all symptomatic of our deplorable performances. We need to weed these guys out from our list.

Dawson Simpson? Not a fan, but a temp big bodied stopgap. Cats have cut him loose.

He's nothing like Tapscott. About 10cm taller too.

Crows for Motlop. Wouldn't waste our time & resources.

Coming in he was compared mainly to Colin Sylvia. The prosecution rests.

People's thoughts on Stanton? I think most people think he's rubbish, therefore he's a bit underrated. Not a world beater, but would fit in our 22.

Would be disappointed recruiting Melksham as it would feel like treading water, but he must be a tiny step ahead of having to select Bail or Matt Jones.

JK has eyes on the bears to be close to his bro.

Sylvia/Dangerfield hybrid.

Myers? Why Myers? Such a strange target.

I also would like to hear more...

Tom Lynch never played with Goodwin.Was one of Watts' best mates from juniors, but not reall similar players. Was drafted by St Kilda in 2008 and went to Adelaide at the end of (I think) 2010. Good 3rd tall, probably a better option than Dawes. Kicked 10 against GWS last year or the year before. Will be ok once he wakes up from the hit Viney put on him. Doesn't have amazing awareness, but great courage. Like a shorter less unco Kozschitzke. Would much prefer the GoldCoast version, but that would never happen. Star. Edit: chaser already said a fair bit of this.

I also got that feeling. Howe may have seen the light & commenced negotiations. A public announcement needn't be held for that to happen.

I'm sure Viney maintains the mindset of "lost your rag, have you mate? Please, step into my office..." Playing the game in that manner is where he feels at home. He doesn't get rattled.

Or alternatively he finds rumours on football forums and turns it into "news" because so many people are willing and desperate to believe.

Bringing Prestia and Weideman onto the list, for instance, would be a great boon for the club.
