Wouldn't be, he's their best 2nd tier mid if that makes sense

Wonder if bottoming out was in their their player acquisition strategy. It must have been ! They know what they’re doing !

The 'no changes to a winning side' mantra is so strange. If you can make the side better, you do.

Sample space is small for Young but he doesn't meet the eye test for mine. Looks scared.

Early days yet and rough to judge a player after only half a dozen games, but Hayden Young looks lost out there

6. Langdon 5. Brayshaw 4. Pickett 3. Gawn 2. Hunt 1. Rivers

Yep. He's too strong & too good overhead for small defenders, a just quick enough for tall defenders not to be able to take him, a genuine game breaking player.

Gus was great

OUT: Jetta, Jones IN: Hibberd & Anyone with a pulse

You over estimate Collingwood. You don't lose Stepho, Treloar & Phillips for effectively nothing unless you bring in a big fish that same year.

Hogan was actively playing for Freo! Today he plays for no one, check mate

Melbourne always play better when Hogan doesn't play. Dee's by 60 odd, T Mac to kick 4, with Jackson the surprise package kicking 3 of his own.

Yep, Hunt to HF, Bowey to wing, Hibbo to HB

Exact same here, I wanted us to take him at #3, no idea how he really went last year though to be honest. Surprised he isn't getting a game for what is still a pretty young Sydney side though, probably not a great sign.

Surprised Stepho isn’t getting a game. He’d be a great get, at least on paper

Yep, huge

Swans the biggest threat imo

LJ on pure talent has genuine superstar potential. A few of his marks against Freo in particular were extremely impressive. He is raw atm though, and needs a further year of development before we truly start judging him I think. I am hopeful we see some continual progression, with expectations of a big 2022 and beyond.

GWS don't have much of a backline, and Reid will end up getting suspended. I'd like to see Jackson get more ruck time to allow us to stretch GWS' talls.

How'd the other recruits go in the VFL?

I know it'd be a very Melbourne game to lose, but GWS look like they're literally done for and it's rebuild time. Will be players half way out the door.

Jordon will end up being a smaller version of Jack Macrae

Tomlinson gone from average recruit to Mr. Reliable, two excellent games in a row, one of the first picked.

6. Oliver 5. Salem 4. Petracca 3. Pickett 2. Tomlinson 1. ANB
