Brayshaw Out for Rest of 2020
Hopefully not the last we see of him in the Red and the Blue!

Jack Gunston
Wonder what would be needed to get a deal like that over the line
-
Aiden Corr
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.

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

Tom McDonald
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.

Our Best 22
Is that you Simon?

ANOTHER WASTED SEASON WHAT DO WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO?
This is the thing for me, the bottom X amount of players -from squad to fringe etc. If we're looking at it from a point of view that coaching can't help these players improve. What structure/format/changes/gameplan could the coach implement where these players are more cogs in a wheel and their deficiencies sort of 'hidden' as such. Drafting has been somewhat scattergun and there are players who aren't at the required level i understand that. But surely a coach should be able to construct some form of a system that doesn't highlight their inefficiencies as much.

How the year 2020 can redeem itself
I care about what Hawthorn do, hopefully it's lose all remaining games to boost our pick

TRADES, DELIST, PROMOTE
I'd like Hunt to stay, think he's a versatile squad option. But he's been out of the team for large chunks of the season, writing may be on the wall for him or he may be may want to seek other opportunities

Welcome to Demonland: Trent Rivers
Cry me a Rivers. Jokes aside he has been a very good selection with hopefully a lot more to come for the red and the blue.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Fremantle
Key parts of what Garry said * urgency came too late * maybe just an average group? * average sides/players can’t maintain consistency of effort * 2018 aberration * smith, Preuss, Bedford, ANB, Baker average players in what is now an average footy club * Goodwin coaching average * took too long to adjust, no passion, urgency until the end * players trying to win the game by themselves as opposed to team * good individuals, average team * not enough resilience in team

The Soccer thread
Abraham will be lucky to finish the season at Chelsea. They've spent 400 million pounds on players over the last 3 seasons. With a front 4 of Werner in front of Pulisic Havertz Ziyech they should be challenging this season. A lot of pressure on Frank now.

Another Covid breach by Richmond
VERDICT: $100,000 fine and 10 Game Ban for both players.

Another Covid breach by Richmond
Jon Ralph just tweeted "Richmond will be handed a second offence breach. Will cost them a staffer or coach next year with a fine of up to $100K which goes into the footy cap. But surely CCJ and Stack have forfeited the right to play again this year. The details" Unlucky for the staffer/coach you'd say
-
Serong/Pickett trade
All depends on succession planning with Sparrow and Jordon. Happy to have them on the list, especially with some question mark over long term roles of others.

Another Covid breach by Richmond
Disgraceful! Should be docked as many points as required that will secure us a top 8 position. ?

Neitz 9 in 2002
watching this made me wonder this hypothetical. If you could put one ex-demon from the last 20 years into this current MFC team - who would you chose? Neitz would be a very popular pick but we'd still need to address that outside mid!
