I think he's been working a bit with FoxFooty, did their trade blog today as well, so must be at least not bad?

Oh yeah, wasn't disagreeing or anything like that, more just saying that I've only heard bits and pieces so the details around it all might be different to what I've said.

Wait and see what the actual info is I guess. 'Reporting to' can be different to 'managed by' though. It could just be that Green is the conduit between Mahoney and the board? Nothing's official yet anyways.

Ah well, guess we start getting excited about Brodie Smith now hey? Has he ordered the polo yet?

Yeah it could go either way I reckon. You're right it could end up a bit of the 'boys club' again, but tbh I feel like we already had that in a way with Mahoney and Goody so I'm willing to take the gamble for now and see what happens.

From what I've heard with the role changes, Mahoney will answer to Richo and Green. Sounds like the review found maybe Mahoney had too much autonomy. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start to look for other opportunities at some stage now. Going to be an interesting dynamic now. I feel the Mahoney/Goodwin clique might be dissolved somewhat and with a future senior coach now joining us who played with a board member it definitely puts Goody in a different position.

Yeah I remember the Hoges outburst. Definitely something to it all, think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle though, not sure Hoges is the most reputable source, especially on twitter. I'm not sticking up for Morris, all I was saying is that he obviously has connections at MFC.

Don't know that story in particular, but could be correct. He worked for the club at one stage and yeah, didn't exactly endear himself in the end.

Look, I'll call a truce with you good doctor, not sure how we got tangled up tbh. Sound ok? On Tuesday I heard Smith was looking pretty good (I wouldn't have gone as far as 100% certain, but seemed fairly firm) for an MFC move. Haven't heard anything since though, other than the media reports about Geelong that have sprung up. I know a while back Smith wasn't answering Gawn's calls, someone here posted a similar story about Lewis. Might mean nothing and just be how he is though.

No worries Ethan.

Morris is fairly well connected with Melbourne.

Basically, in my opinion; irregardless of 'moving forward', our learnings should be scalable.

If I was wearing a tin foil hat I may put together a theory about Rance coming back from retirement...

Not worth a first round pick by themselves, would likely involve our pick 23 (or a future 2nd rounder), and maybe pick swaps on top.

Will go top 10 for sure. Know we're keen on Macrae, but if we managed to get GWS' incoming pick 9 and both he and Perkins were available I have a feeling we might take Perkins.

Pending the contract, they could get pick 9 as compo for Williams.

Doubtful he'll go to the Saints IMO.

Having mature, experienced and exceptionally professional players around the club does the opposite of costing us the development of a youngster. Melbourne fans, more than anyone, should understand you don't develop kids by just throwing them in for games without enough guidance and support from experienced players.

Club is meeting with him. Not sure of level of interest either way just yet tho.

MFC are going to meet with Higgins.

I'm glad we've settled it then. All of Ethan's posts are jokes and he has absolutely no intel or useful information. Thanks for clarifying for me everyone.

Not sure I'm sold on a twitter account that posts things like "10 retweets and we reveal all!" etc. Can't even spell his name correctly...

From whom?
