if T Mac struggles, Weed comes in. 

On form spot on. 

Disappointing crowd so far, where are all the Dees supporters??? Only expecting 24,000 today, I would have thought a lot more. 

No Melksham, seems he will be unlikely for Rd 1. Although how would we no with zero update from the club recently. 

How long are Hibberd and Melksham out for?

Jordan did ok, bit to work with here. 
Harmes improved 

Lever much improved 

May brilliant 

Jones still best 22. 
AnB was good

AvB good in first half then quiet. 
Rivers played well, will be a very good player. 
 

Baker, Sparrow, TMac poor

Galluci from the Crows currently training with tigers is well worth a look. Went off the rails in Adelaide a bit but worthy of a second chance. 

I can’t recall the year but one of the best games I have ever see was a final vs Adelaide at the MCG, travis Johnstone was unbelievably good but was pretty much cooked at 3/4 time as he wasn’t that fit. 

2018 we had a clear game plan. 
Since then, we haven’t. 

Great wine from a great region, Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2016 ?

Heath Shaw for a year, help Riv and Salo in the backline could be worth a look. 
leadership qualities.

Is Jordan Galluci from the Crows worth a look. He is a DFA. He certainly has talent. Is an ex first round pick, but had a bad injury in 2019.

Was really highly rated as a junior and was expected to be one of the better players to come out of Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. 
Not sure where his contract is at but hasn’t really performed at AFL level.

I thought he said that he was going to come back for pre-season, work hard and look to get back into our best 22?

Perhaps that might have been Tom he was talking about?

Yes that was Tom he was talking about, Trade Radio initially reported it on Twitter as Oscar but it was Tom he was talking about.

Re:  Oscar, I believe Mahoney said he will be on the list in some capacity in 2021.

Happy with the outcomes from this period.  Hannan and Preuss were surplus to requirements, we added Brown to our forward line and did very well in trading our picks, leaving us with those two first rounders that we can do something with closer to the draft.

A little more pace on the opposite wing would have been handy but we'll see how we go in house over the summer.

I think we're well placed through this to get back into the finals race in 2021.

Mahoney said Oscar hasn’t been offered a contract for next season on Trade Radio this afternoon. 

Saad no

Smith no

McKernan no

is this a worry we cannot attract our targets? I would think so.....

Nothing to see here ? ?. 
Standard MFC.

Why would we come out in the media and lay down our cards for getting players. Its doesnt make any sense. Trade period hasnt even started yet.

In saying that if we dont get anymore players (for wing etc) then JM is an [censored].

Because they are trying to appease a frustrated supporter base. 
Melbournes 1 wood is marketing and Mahoney is out of his depth. 

Egan still there as an assistant/ development coach? No mention of him 

Why have a crack at Phillips when Trealor is available.... I know who I’d rather.

Clark / Menengola from Geelong should be our number 1 targets. 
How much cap space can Geelong have... press hard for some of their quality who may be getting unders.

Pretty accurate, but still a worry with a one dimensional midfield, need more outside run / flare. 
Hope MFC can deliver.

Pressure is building on Geelong to come up with a pay rise to keep breakout star Sam Menegola beyond the end of the next season.

The 28-year-old had a career-best year in 2020, making his first All Australian squad as the Cats reached the grand final.

But his future will be clouded until he puts pen to paper on a new deal, with 7NEWS Perth’s Ryan Daniels reporting rival clubs are standing by to chase Menegola.

Geelong signed Hawthorn wingman Isaac Smith, who turns 32 in December, on Friday.

As part of their tilt at a premiership they will also add GWS forward Jeremy Cameron and North Melbourne midfielder Shaun Higgins by the end of the trade period.

But while those additions were seen as reasonable given Gary Ablett has retired and the Cats had salary cap space previously earmarked to re-sign Tim Kelly, Menegola’s emergence was not so predictable.

Blokes a gun, would be a fantastic pick up!

I actually think if he trims down and makes a move back to CHB he will be a great pick up for another club. 

Please no, this bloke is delist material. Can’t defend and a turnover king. I remember watching him one day live thinking how is he on an AFL list.
