Former Melbourne and Geelong speedster Blease, 29, retired in 2015 following a concussion suffered while playing for the Cats’ VFL team.

At the end of the day another nomination would have been nice, but i'm just thrilled we have Trent on board. What a future he has (hopefully all at this club!)

Posted in the other thread (so many threads atm). But Zak Jones is out this week which will help us too.

Zak Jones will miss Friday night’s clash with the Giants with a hamstring injury. The St Kilda midfielder reported soreness following the Round 17 clash against the West Coast Eagles, with subsequent scans revealing a minor strain. https://www.saints.com.au/news/813616

Yeh some weird cuts and other times I’ve yelled ‘zoom out’ at the tv lol

Noticed it on the replay, fair whack to the back/side of the head. Surprising no fine for the whack he gave Oliver too. Mumford continually came in late with force .

Even if they are difficult to deal with, think past dealings with Hib/Melk were favorable to both parties so potentially good relationship between the clubs

Decided to check how Kossie ranks compared to other MFC players Yes there are some areas he can improve on, but the below not bad for a first year player IMO Contested Possessions - 10th Ground ball Gets - 8th F50 - Ground ball gets - 5th Shots at goal - 5th Score involvements - 11th Tackles - 7th Tackles inside 50 - 2nd Goal assists - 5th Pressure Acts - 6th Now are these stats supporting of Kossie or an indictment on some of the other players aha.

Brown will be hungry to prove a point against the Bombers. Liked his efforts in recent weeks. When is the next injury report from Burgo due

It's a strange year for the players, wouldn't read too much into body language.

Exactly, not every trade/swap etc will have a loser.

I like Hunt. He's a good versatile squad/depth option and you need those - that factor may be important if lists are shrunk. But agree with an earlier post in the thread, he may ask for a trade

All the fan favourites scoring tonight so far

especially as 2018 was a strange year that came together late. By the time Goody had re-signed for 3 years at the club the "Is Goodwin the right guy...." was 97 pages long.

It's very Melbourne how the season worked out. Before the season people were saying we had a fairly good fixture but then someone ate a bat.

In the end they supplied you with a jumper and a puzzle.

Injury List Tom Sparrow - Collarbone | Available James Harmes - Hamstring | 1 Week Luke Jackson - Hamstring | 1-2 Weeks Nathan Jones Quad | 1-2 Weeks Sparrow back in?

Hopefully not the last we see of him in the Red and the Blue!

Wonder what would be needed to get a deal like that over the line

Agreed not most pressing - Upgrade fine provided the salary doesn't go overboard. OMac and Smith, imagine one if not both may not be there next year - so there'd be a spot - Unless they throw Tmac back there again. Seems we've put Tomlinson on relatively good coin and the best games he's played have been in the backline.

I know we shouldn't pay too much attention to some ex-player pundits, but that's quite a shift over the course of a shortened season

Ah yes another tall defender, wonder who he'd replace in the squad or if they'd persist with Tomlinson down back.

Interesting one isn't it, used to dominate time trials etc now seems a different player. If he's hampered by injury - bit of a concern that Burgess and team haven't been able to come up with an apparent solution. If he's bulked up too much and that's led to reduced mobility etc, surely they would he detected this at the start of the year. Reminds me of when Lukaku bulked up too much for the WC in 2018, got back to his club side and struggled with form as he had lost that bit of pace etc. If he's a confidence/form player then the lack of adequate 'reserves' comp won't help him get into it. Uncertain of a trade, still could play a role in some description IF body can be sorted.

Is that you Simon?
