meaningless game. hoping for a 10 goal loss so it adds more pressure on Goodwin

Daw outperformed Goldstein for about 3 weeks. But I reckon Goldstein is [censored] so...

done

Bradtke, O.McDonald, Wagner, Jones, Hore, Dunkley, kolodjashnij, Wagner, Jetta, M.Brown, Bedford. That's my 11. And that's excluding T.Mcdonald who I would find a way to get him off the list.

I could think of 11 from the dees that could go too. Good call from North, no point keeping mediocrity around. May as well bring in kids thatare hungry

Let's fix our lack of speed and defensive accountability before worrying about paying an arm and a leg for Jeremy Cameron. You'd only go for Cameron if you were a top 4 team and ready for a flag tilt, so Geelong makes sense

I think you need to temper your expectations. maybe1 at best would eventuate.

I like Mahoney. At least he gets stuff done during trade period. He is always proactive. Sure he had made some mistakes but he has also made some good deals.

the one thing that I'm excited about this off season is that it seems the fans and the club are on the same page with what we need. Speed and skills and a key forward. For once, i'm confident the club can identify our needs. Despite the criticism of May and Lever initially, it was comforting to know that the mfc knew that Oscar McDonald's couldn't be our key defender.

I don't question that other clubs would be interested in him but it's just a loose term for interest. He probably wouldn't command a draft pick in the top 40 for him.

Ok list me some 28 year olds from other teams that aren't in their teams best 22 that have been affected by injuries that Melbourne would be interested in?

lol you know what I mean. or any other heavy loss when the game was over.

When we're 50 points down in the last quarter against port Adelaide I don't understand why changes like this don't happen. Literally no harm done.

ahh yes he is? he is clearly worth that. In fact a 2nd round pick for Saad wouldn't get the job done

whether Harmes is played in the wrong position or not is irrelevant. As that falls on Goodwin too. Harmes was one of the best taggers in the afl, getting the ball himself in the process. He was one of our first picked. People forget justhow good he was. His decline is very costly. Also, seems like I've got another back up with regards to Weideman. I haven't seen improvement. I've actually always liked him but I haven't seen anything remotely close to his 2018 finals series. Oliver was always destined for greatness. ever since his first practice game in craigieburn. I don't doubt that a lot of players had career best years in 2018. Personally i put a lot of it down to the flow on effect from Roos. But if Goodwin gets credit for their 2018 career years then he also must be responsible for their last 2 seasons under that rationale.

I'd take the 2nd rounder and be done with it. We're going to get nowhere with the lack of speed and Brayshaw is the poster boy for lack of speed.

Why do people throw up names like Harmes and McDonald like they have much trade value? We wouldn't want a player from another bottom 8 team that isn't getting a game but we're expecting other teams to want to?

we had Neitz...

needs to start kicking around his body as he clearly can't handle the drop punt at the moment.

you've got to include 2 promising wins in the finals though.

anyone with speed I'm all in for. So yes

definitely need both. I don't think Saad is a specific need for the back half but moreso to add speed to the team. If we don't get Saad, we need to add so much speed to our team.

Love Saad. McDonald has little trade currency so i'd imagine melbourne would trade their 2 second rounders for a first round selection and trade that for Saad.

Tom Mitchell is returning from a broken leg. Melbourne's players aren't. plus, it's a trend with melbourne. it's not 1 player. it's about 10. When it becomes a trend, it's the coach in my opinion. And with regards to Tom McDonald, I'm convinced he is injured. There's no way someone can be healthy and be that slow

and since then? what do you put the decline down to?
