Great work by list management to have no key players in this list

Gotta be one of the better highlights packages l have seen for a 30 something pick ...

He should have been given midfield time to spark us last season and particularly finals ... no review needed to work that out ... l posted on her that l told goody and richo that at pre finals training and they totally ignored me ... choco agreed with me though

For Kate to appear in the media we must have won something again ... its all about you Kate, “I think I slept seven years’ worth of relief last night,” Roffey joked on SEN Breakfast. “I’ve been working closely with them for seven year" This is after taking credit for the support she gave goody after the AFL GF the year before

No developing talls please, they will take 5 years before they are ready and our time is now. There are a number of tall forward and back free agents coming up. l would be going after another small forward to help kozzie and cover for the significant hole he leaves in our list if he leaves. Small forwards also contribute and develop quicker. Jacob Konstanty sounds like someone that has some goal sense and can tackle. Also has some upside given his only recent return to footy.

We have an over reliance on tmac who got injured mid way, and with jacko not firing, and BBB forced to do uncustomary bullocking work, our kicks long to the wings and the forward pockets to relieve pressure and reset were ineffective. Our problems stem from this, and we need a plan b in case of injuries to talls happen again or a funamental change in approach that is less focused on talls

Maybe Gina has some spare cash to splash now and can bankroll some land which seems to be the main problem ... surely we have a billionaire supporter somewhere

Pick 13

We need more mature support alongside JVR in his first few years. If tmac or BBB dont come up we absolutely need to pick up one of around 4 or 5 good KPPs that are free agents next year. Another junior burger doesnt help us while we are contending now

Your being generous ... Nik Nat isn't exactly an aerobic specimen

Watts playing too early is one of the biggest mfc myths of recent times ... played vfl until warrented ... he was just not competitive and a touch soft ... note that its pretty common for pick 1 to play round 1 if injuries don't stop them but we didn't

Great the club has locked away the talent and we don't have anyone significant at risk . I think the priority would be looking for KPP's. Of those listed, Ben McKay would be handy and free up Petty. Might also be able to go forward himself. Hipwood would also help by going forward allowing us to play with 3 key tall's including the resting ruck man. Himmelberg would be the other possibility and seems to have got a fair bit of the pill going by the stats. I think he can play at either end also McGovern might want to get to a team in the premiership window in his older years.

I'm more hopeful than optimistic ...

We need to protest on the steps of the clubs head quarters to try and get some action on this ... anyone know where that is

Can we shoe horn a new item into the Special General Meeting about the constitution, in that every 3 months the club needs to provide an update to members on the training / social / admin facility and share their current plans? Not likely l know, but seriously poor to keep us all guessing. I guess if they had positive progress then they would have shared it atleast some of it

he is on trade radio now

Its not bonus its just a fair trade

Will be interesting to see how he goes against Gawn and Grundy

Same as when the president comes out and says we are right behind the coach ... at the moment

Club will be confident they can use pick 30 to move either first round picks forward this year or next otherwise this would drag out further

Sounds like your emotionally connected to this guy. Chill out. Is this the same back up ruck that can't get a game and the club appear happy to trade to Essendon for a packet of chips?

You're assuming a few things. 1. that l didn't see Weid in the VFL where he was a touch more competative but still not AFL standard and 2. That the ruck needs to win tap outs when in fact you don't if you set up right and have an extra onballer at ground level like Harmes. Weid is old news

Weideman would be traded if Bruce came in l think. Melk isnt going to make our forward line function as he is too small for the long bombs. Coaches want the old model with resting ruck, BB and someone that can compete for the long bombs to support BB coming in from the side ie Tmac, Bruce, JVR .... if grundy and gawn are injured then play Joel Smith / Harmes in the ruck they will compete better than Weid anyhow

The trade makes, both had knee issues, both struggling to find their best form since, both playing some vfl, both behind a few in their respective positions ... just don't want to hear 'pony up' used again

That would be right, he is on the March calendar, and missing in the later season months
