Agree Old Dee.....His highlight package is good but very short & unfortunately has been gifted a lot of games when he was clearly injured or struggling to put 2 quarters together. Can't have that at this level anymore, unless your in the 'boys club'......

Good call.....

Ha ha Gee that response has had a lot of thought? I feel that the answers to our disarsterous season are not overseas. Maybe spending more time of developing our game plan & improving our skill level across the board may show significant short term improvement, rather than jetting off overseas looking for the answers. That's just me.....& happy to cop the criticism for it. Not sure Simon Goodwin can afford the luxury of travelling o/seas for a so called development searching trip. He's no Alistair Clarkson. Maybe you could contribute your thoughts on where our improvement should be & perhaps what they are going to find so far away?

yeah another great move lads.....really deserving of the junket.

ha ha.....your on the wrong site mate....

That's just a ridiculous comment.

Goody & Lewis can drink red wine together Well done MFC.

The club will become a stronger organisation from winning more games & having the right people within the organisation to facilitate this.....simple! if Melbourne only win 5 games for the year in 2020, do you really think that the football public will acknowledge & recognise their discipline & maturity? I doubt it. Great to have the skills but we need the players on the park & need a game plan to utilize these skills.

Yeah agree & hence my 'boys club' tag.....lets face it too, the coach has history too so these guys will fit in beautifully. Roosey must be shaking his head in disbelief. Anyway, good luck to these guys & hope they prove everyone, including me, wrong!

Hard to put any sense to this really...... Amazing to think that recruiting players with good character was a priority a few years ago & now that pre-requisite has been all but been thrown out the door......Sam Murray as well, give me a break. Need for speed....they got that right. So when the recruiting officers sit down at the dining tables with potential draftees & the discussion comes up about character, responsibilities as an AFL footballer in society & the no [censored] policy.....how do the parents & player respond? Becoming a real 'boys club' Melbourne & this will no doubt end in tears.....again.

Cornes is certainly trying to elevate his standing amongst the radio industry but some of what he says has meaning......whether you like him or not! In my opinion Lever appears to be an outstanding person but currently overpaid, IMO & thus far under-delivered. May the same..... Harmes good on him getting a an extra 4 years which ties him to the club for another 5 years, but really 3 would have been appropriate I reckon. Time will tell if Cornes has over-reacted or a good call.....

Hore has been a great pick up for the Dees & proved his worth time & time again..... His kicking however is horrible......often kicks blindly & if he can improve in this area & show more composure, he will be a cracker. From all reports a great fella too....

Ouch! I do like the make up however I see a huge deficiency in pace from the back line. Cripps, Ryan, Shuey & Cameron are going to expose our lack of pace. Hunt has to play in defence or we will get pantsed. Unfortunately May, Jetta, Lever, Salem & Hibbo are far from Stawell gift winners.

oh dear..... Goodwin will be pooing in his pants.

Good on AVB for getting a deal done as hes had some horrid luck. He has a bit of X factor & offers physicality as well as footy smarts. Lucky to secure the contract but lots of upside if they can get him right. Good luck.

Mitch unfortunately had a year he would prefer to forget. Injuries played a big part, however, the fact that Goodwin kept playing him whilst he was obviously injured & horribly out of form didn't help. Hopefully he recaptures his 2018 form.

Yes I'm with most on May.....super talent but I hope he doesn't do what Jordan Lewis kept doing, that's getting reported. Sprooking about his leadership qualities & then letting his team mates down continually. Work your [censored] off son.......you need to be cherry ripe at round 1.

Actions speak louder than words......over to you Goody.

Unfortunately Brayshaw was not injured in the first part of the year & his lack of accountability & skill in the middle was the reason for his banishment to the wing......which was, to his admission, harder to play than the middle. I would hate to lose him too but hope 2020 is good year for Brayshaw.

yeah maybe but that's where the problem & problems lie. Frost comes from a great family & from all reports, terrific character, & work ethic, which makes his trade even more mesmerizing.

The only thing I can think of Poita is that Frosty is not one of Goody's boys.

Only one winner out of this trade. Hawthorn continue to excel during the trade & draft periods. Very excited for Sam as I think he will thrive under Clarkson & the well regarded Hawks culture. Not sure what the MFC list managers & coaches were thinking. Just dumb.....

Great assessment..... KK unproven but probably a C & swap Harmes & Hunt & I reckon its spot on.

Unfortunately Charlie has been gifted numerous AFL games in his first year & I feel that this has been a major problem in his development, both physically & mentally. Has not developed at all in his second year & in some sense, has taken a backwards step. He does have ability, but is limited with his size & more importantly, his impact. Needs a massive preseason where he needs some strength & speed added to his skill set. The strength will also help with his kicking penetration..... He does have a good football brain & is, in my opinion worth persisting with.

yes good call.....not a bad resume'
