Simple. Reduce the teams to 16 and take out the wingmen. There are no specialist wingmen anymore anyway. Keep 22 because the AFLPA would not agree to reducing the number per team. Therefore 6 on the bench at any time. This would take 4 players off the ground and reduce congestion.

IN: Petracca OUT: Tyson

Useless as a goal kicker!!

Can't wait for the post match press conference! Win or lose how many cliches (footy speak) will we get to appease the AFL and MFC and try and talk it up? AFL footy is so sanitised.

9 scoring shots to 8. When will the forward coaches teach goalkicking??

Agree. Poor structure and game plan and they are not playing for him!!

He has been named in the squad for Sunday. If he plays he will be the first 4th generation of a family with the same surname to play VFL/AFL football. His great grandfather played for the Demons.

Put the cue in the rack until 2019.

What in the hell did the FD and the team do for 6 months in the off-season??

Exactly. His faults have been well documented but probably a better user of the ball than anyone on our list.

Well why are they on our list??

Do we have the required fitness to play 4 quarters of AFL football?? Don't see it.

You nailed it. I don't have time or the patience for another rebuild.

Retire: Vince Lewis Trade: Salem, Tyson Delist: Bugg, JKH, Stretch,

Yep! Not as good as they think they are!

And to think the players almost had me conned when they said "they were hurting" after the Round 23 loss last year!

Way out of touch early in this game! Needs a spell at Casey.

Reminds me of a big recruit from SA in the early 70's who came to the club on big $$ and big wraps!!

So has Ox been sacked from calling AFL games as well or just from the Drive Home programme?

Agree. How he ever coached the Tigers for 5 years is staggering.

Vince and Lewis retire. Sliders: Stretch and Kent - traded. T Mac a revelation in the forward line.

Agree re Tyson and if we don't make significant progress in 2018 another 1 or 2 profile players will be traded at the end of the season.

Jones has least 2 more years left.

Finishing 21st in our B & F this year! Comtrived result by MFC coaching staff. Just as believable as Jake Lever finishing outside Adelaide's top 10.
