Rating Our 2019 Draft
Outside of Kozzie we aren't expecting to see any of these kids playing regular senior footy and even kozzie might be in/out as playing straight up into the AFL is a big ask. Obviously its good to see they didn't take ready made players to help Goodwin be more competitive in 2020 but we used this draft with a veiw to the future and i guess will can really assess it in 2022/23

Who would you have taken with pick # 3 - recruiters
Not sure on pick 3....seems a bit of a flyers at this spot but hopefully can fill a need in the next few years however can;t see him playing much in 2020. Love the Pickett choice, perhaps a bit high but looks a likely type who could play pretty much straight away up forward for us.

SOS Leaving
SOS went and got a heap of ex GWS players who didn't work out at GWS let alone Carlton. They have a few good young players but its a fair way from be able to say it was a success or not.

The Coaches Jet Off to the US
Lots to take in a view but US Team culture isn't really something that makes sense in our Aust context so hopefully there is more to it that a few coffees and cuddles. If the coaches aren't up to speed on how these other games are played/planned for a tactics perspective then they below in the EFL rather than the AFL as its not the 1990's any longer.

Just ripping up cash!!!

Lachie Henderson (Drafted by Geelong)
We currently have 2 of our 3 tall defenders who haven't shown they can get on the park and we've let Frost go so perhaps just a warm body who has some experience playing down back might not be a bad thing.

Two is better than one....

2019 Player Reviews: #41 Jay Lockhart
One of the few bright sports for us last year, could be a real find for us after playing well off a VFL pre season. Can't wait to see him after a full AFL pre season think he could be a real gun for us and kick a few goals.

Can we split the pick....

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
If we sign him its a 1 + 1 deal with the second year being a club option. Got to be based on match payments thou as otherwise he sits in the rehab group and goes on benders once he has that guaranteed cash in his pocket!

Paddy McCartin
Hopefully the young lad can make a fully recovery in time and lead a normal health life. Suggest that any major contact sport will probably be off the agenda with concussion issues like his so lets just hope he can recover.

2019 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch
Great debut season playing mainly up forward then for some reason Goody & Co put him down back? Its clear he is a natural forward and a pretty good mark so surely he has found a spot as our mid sized forward who could kick 30+ goals next year.

Farewell to Jay Kennedy-Harris & Billy Stretch
JKH wasn't quite good enough for AFL level at this stage however is a top liner at the VFL level, perhaps a new club will see him make the jump to AFL level consistently. Stretch is a tough one as he did provide good run and thought with an injury free run could have cracked the 22 on a consistent basis as he had a skill set and quickness that we generally lacked however i guess someone has to make room for the draftees and new recruits. Best of luck gents and hopefully both can make it onto another list.

Compensation for Loss of NT Academy Zone
How is "Multicultural" defined? i.e Family history goes back 5 generations in Australia including Irish/English/Welsh so does that count?
-
Gun target - Key Forward recruit?
So it looks like we are chasing Daniher. Can't see why chasing a bloke who hasn't played in two years benefits anyone other than the rehab group which has included May & Lever far too much since we recruited them

Darwin game dumped
Darwin is one of the countries greatest sh!tholes so this is great news!

Farewell to Our First Pick in 2020
This is basically a punt on 2020....if we are [censored] again then Josh has marked his own ticket out the door!

Are we plotting a late heist?
Based on our recent trade strategy perhaps they are looking at making sure we bring in two good young players this year. My only thought is if it is a big fish two top ten pick would have to bring back a Jeremy Cameron type but for salary we'd have to be sending a decent earner back out to make this work.

Angus Brayshaw to Fremantle Rumours
- Jones steps down as captain.
Gawn is the perfect co captain with Viney as he can be the guy to front the media and be the face of the club. I love Jack but public speaking/media work isn't exactly his strong suit to say the least! - Jones steps down as captain.
