Cody Weightman (Drafted by Western Bulldogs)
Sorry Cheesy Often (OFTEN) flies for marks in or at the back of s pack making about 6 players after the same ball. We know the result is an opponent takes it and creates a goal etc. Nev does not make a lot of mistakes and is good overall but needs to resist flying unnecessarily on the backline and let taller players take this role. He wil then be the AA player we love picking up some crumbs and clearing for handballing etc to clear.

TRAINING: Wednesday 20th November 2019
No let's not revisit Joel Smith on the two Gunn forwards ! (Prelim Final) that's asking too much. Darling as now the No 1 needs May and Kennedy who has probably slipped a little with Oscar, or Petty or Brown. Smith the third tall but really we need to try him up forward . We need our most creative players up forward when resting eg Harmes Gus Trac Viney And Clarry, Also Vanders And Smith.

Could be a bit like Cam Pedersen and also can go back in defence. Handy depth who will give his all if we take him as a rookie.0

I don't think Minh supporters really understand the effect that s class small forward would have in out forward line. Too Many excuses about ability etc but happy to draft another mid fielder (Young is not technically a mid) Our whole footy would get more pace excitement and versatility as a result No more stock standard players for the opposition and even Jackson has an X factor fir a big guy which defences hate. Time for some more risks along with Harley to break he mould and have the others worry about our excitement machines!!!

Most draftees have to learn or hone their skills developed by coaching based upon skills already developed like jumping hand balling following up play etc as in Jackson's highlights.

If we desperately want the best small forward or any other player this move is the best by far.

Captaincy 2020
It's only an opinion based along with about 60/70 % of Dees fans views also. The announcement that matters will be made in the Clubs good time after the players votes.

As a fellow Banana bender I concur wholeheartedly. Travel reviews are different strokes from different folks as are restaurant reviews but we are far richer for the variety of content than ONE solo scribe. Keep the stories and the facts coming at the end of the day we will read into it our way but thank you so much for the on the spot nature and depth of content.

Ranked 8th Best List for 2020
So what Doesn't that prove that injuries cut our list and form was affected by pre season surgery and associated lack of fitness. What it is saying is that we are somewhere in between 2018 and 2019 with our list. 2020 will be the arbiter of our strength and potential for success or lack of it. I'm tipping a minimum of 11 wins and confident if we get a good run from injury plus our many 23 yrs and below develop under friendlier conditions and fitness we can even achieve more. Many results this year hung on our last quarter and most ended up in close losses with very low scores. Our forwards are especially vital to the turnaround in wins.

Fritsch Eager to Take it Up a Notch

Phantom Drafts
Not correct if you want to make sure No guarantees but Sydney will prob bid!

Phantom Drafts
Not any more look at the photos Pruess trim and taut also!!
-
Phantom Drafts
NO but an outside mid like Stephens Yes Please
-
Jack Martin
Are you saying that we couldn't or shouldn't arrange our salary cap for Tom Lynch? He is worth it And is s better player than you imagine Tom is no 2 and Weide or Joel Smith No 3 mite sll sbout depth and what defenders are needed to mind players !

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - LUKE JACKSON
Why write off Pruess ? Reckon at his age he is just coming into his prime and his tank may well be perfect with 9 or so kg off his frame That's serious stuff and a gamechanger on his already good talent. He was getting tired after his first run in the ruck each quarter so his ability to pace himself for a full game now should be no Problem. Time will tell but Jackson must have an X factor IMO to be taken st No 3 and his ground ability plus his jumping might be this I imagine. Dont think he will get through to 8 now for us. Could be bluffing of course !!

When you think about it when have Dees ever worried about a recruits disposal? NOT EVER who???? If we were to pick by disposal skill Young and Stephens would fit our needs both good disposal as part of pptheir highlights !!

Poll: Who do you want with our first two picks?
Whatever player AM we choose there is always a risk but another inside mid Please NO let's be more creative. I am sick to death of the ball going to ground (anywhere really) but especially in our Forward line and no one crumbing on a reasonably regular basis with speed and skill. We need a small desperately so must be prepared to recruit high or as wide as possible and let numbers do the job! Surely Weightman Pickett And even another forward type in Sokol in the PSD draft would change the whole forward setup Add a fit Harley mid year a best ever season from Trac with 40 plus goals along with Fritschy developing more to an A grade forward plus Weide bigger stronger now and Tommy in 2018 form and Milkshake stirring things up. Now we are talking! Even ANB could surely fit in as depth with that group around him.

Poll: Who do you want with our first two picks?
Wrong way to go IMO. So Open after 1 an2 gone but many good prospects in top 10. Needs first No 3 Dylan Stephens addresses Outside run breaks lines beautiful Left foot kick and kicks goals.Huge upside in our team No 8 needs first Weightmen prob ahead of Pickett but small crumbing forward very necessary BEST PLAYER policy then prob Young then Kemp if avail at 8 or Jackson or still Stephens.

TRAINING: Monday 11th November 2019
In actual fact I believe young Weide is starting to resemble father Murray with the weight snd growth leaving his teens and early 20's behind. Good signs as he really looks more like a key position player and not to be taken lightly by defenders any more. 2020 will produce some surprising development in the careers of Weide Trac Angus Lever Fritsch plus Sparrow Jordan Lockhart and Dunkley and Pruess. Add all our seniors inc. May being much fitter and able to play out a full game and the newbies Langdon Tomlinson Bennell (last half) plus Picks 3 and 8 snd 2 PSD pick give a much stronger list than 2019 would appear to produce. 2020 could be a surprise to us all if Half glass full eventuates in fitness and development and attitude.
