Correct. That trio - Jackson, Pickett, Rivers - comprise the best bundle of pick-ups Melbourne has received since we got Viney, Spalding and Dean in one whack in 1987. (And they were 'adult' players when we got them.) Complementary skills and talents. As for Bowey, he'll be in the seniors soon enough.

I tend to agree. Selwood - terrific player, charmed life. But their most irritating player is Cameron Guthrie. Can't stand him.

Agree Geelong has looked on the slow side when put to the pressure test (manic ball movement) in the last two games. Can Melbourne exploit that?

What is this rubbish about players being 'cooked'? Jetta played well I thought. Got caught out a couple of times - it happens. Good opposition. I suspect the coaches agree with me.

Agree Brayshaw is now fit enough to play more centrally. Makes Sparrow vulnerable. But then we need a winger. Melksham? Ideally should be in, but at half forward. But then Jones' place is shaky.

Yeah made one or two errors. Did countless good things.

Salem's a class player. Underrated. So why bother continuing this debate? Naturally we'd like Kelly as well. Kelly and Langdon on the wings!

Still purveying rubbish. Try origami.

Get a life, pal. Purvey as much [censored] as you do, you're bound to get some thrown back.

Disagree, It's the silliest comment ever made, by anyone.

Incisive, constructive, considered commentary once again. Channelling Trump?

It's the wilful abuse and denigration of players - especially certain players - that is most depressing. It's also gutless.

Hear that Oscar McDonald and Alex Neal-Bullen are being traded for Nat Fyfe along with future trade picks until 2025. Don't know if its credible or not .

OK. I take it this is intended to be ironic. Otherwise, the silliest post of all time.

As this pointless thread has bred so much silliness and ill-humour I wish it was closed down.

Very funny. I was about to post the same thing...just for the conspiracy theorists on this site.

Jesus, is this [censored] rumour still being circulated?

'Worth doing?' Id' reckon. 1. We lack forwards. 2. The guy has finished 3, 2 2 in the Coleman and made the AA squad 3 years running. And people here think he's not worth picking up? Bizarre.

Oliver unhappy etc is a total silly season beat-up. Move on.

Knew it would take no time for some to use the Yze appointment to start undermining Goodwin - predictable, tedious, half-cocked. 'Yawn', all right.

Harsh, very harsh. And people also attack Jack Viney for staying, saying they would have helped 'pack his bags' to leave? Inconsistent - and indicative of the gutless viciousness towards players that pervades this site.

Cheap flag? Almost best on ground in that GF. Cheap shot.

Well, he's rated very highly by the club and by his teammates. I think I'd take their opinion over your's.

Its the silly season, and some Melbourne supporters - at least on the evidence of this site - appear to be sillier than most. Perhaps we can put it down to Covid insanity. Either way, some of these trade geniuses would be better off going to a corner and reading a book.
