Devon Smith
His numbers looked ok in 2020. Has some appeal but not a heap. 28 next year and contracted. They wont do a deal easily and he would be on a decent salary. Wasting our time to get involved I think.

Yze is a Demon Again
You just can’t help but smile when reading this news. Football is emotional as we know - welcome back home Adem

Not unhappy with this. Dodoro asking for compelling compensation. Gee I wish Carlton had pick 1 in the preseason draft. This will get messy. Note to Dodoro - stop trying to win every single trade by the length of Flemington straight. Don't wait to the last half an hour of trade period to accept, maybe try and turn what Carlton give you into something else. Also nice work holding onto Joey D for another year. Worked out well.

Viney Signs Until 2025
Great news - he truely is one of us! Dees through and through Any success he had elsewhere would have felt so hollow. Great decision Jack. Go Dees

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
Sure Brown is known for his lead and mark but the guy is 200cm. He will be a good target. Must admit I was a no on this at first but I am getting keen now. A proven goal kicker on our list is certainly a missing piece.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
I’d take him. Use our 2nd round pick and offer a 3 year incentive based contract. Take the pressure off Weid

Yze is a Demon Again
This would be good. I love the romance and he does have a good resume.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
Have we been linked to Brown at all?

Bayley Fritsch signs on for 2 more years
Good news! Was hoping this one was going to drop soon. Good player. Important player
-
Petty, Sparrow & Smith Re-Sign
Very happy with this as Adelaide must have been sniffing around. These two have shown enough to me that they could make it. Good signings.
-
Alex Neal-Bullen
If ANB can get a two year deal somewhere else I think it is best he takes it. He is decent enough depth I suppose but if we are to be any good anytime soon he will not be playing all that often.
-
Adam Saad
Pretty much every deal the guy is involved in is hard work From memory - Carlisle to St Kilda went to mediation Stringer to Essendon went down to the last day Shiel to Essendon nearly fell over Joe D didn’t get done Essendon supporters love him. List manager of a club that hasn’t won a final since Adam was a boy. Hardly a great resume. Long may he continue in that role.

Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
No doubt our midfield mix needs a change up. Whether that is personnel or tactics. If Viney left would we be better off? Not sure either way but probably not. But what I am very sure of given time to think about it is that seeing Viney running around in another jumper would be a very sad day. Hope he stays

Assistant Coaches 2021
Pleased to hear this. Always been impressed by Luke Ball. To me he looks like he would make a good footy GM. Be happy to take him in any role though. I was annoyed/jealous we he was first appointed at the Bombers and surprised to see they let him go. Hopefully somethings does come of this.

The Zac Merrett Thread
Might be best to make our intentions known this year and pick him up as a free agent next year. I can't see Essendon trading him this year unless we offer up overs and we have a very week draft hand as it stands.

The Zac Merrett Thread
RFA in 2021 interesting Also got dropped from leadership group in 2019 Good player finds a heap of the ball. Would suit us. Hard to see us having the currency to satisfy.
-
Adam Saad
Didn’t think that much of him yesterday to be honest. Seems to just burst out of blocks and make it up as he goes Sam Frost style. Not sure that manic movement is what we need. Salem was awesome yesterday and really stood out with his composure and skills. Same with Rivers and these are the type of players we need not Saad in my opinion.
-
Jared Polec
I'd have him. Watched him last night. He is very outside and waits in space to get used as Landgon does. Fit perfectly for us. 4th club is a red flag but I believe Port very much wanted to keep him just North came up with a massive offer as they missed on everyone else they chased prior. Left Brisbane with not much form to return home.
-
TMac on the Trade Table?
Haha Preuss does have some currency to the right club. GWS must be desperate. They could cough up something good - Jye Caldwell could be of interest to us if Viney/Brayshaw leave.
-
TMac on the Trade Table?
He got dropped after the Carlton game - Media made some connection that he was supposed to play a defensive game on Cripps and Shaw didn't rate it. Assume they don't rate him defensively/team first attitude ect. He actually got coaches votes in that game. Assume only by Teague. To me he is the guy they Viney and Oliver would handball to after they gather the ball in close. He has a nice step and change of direction. I wouldnt give up much to get him but a swap of sorts with Tmac would work
-
Adam Saad
Essendon have offered him a 4 year deal. They want him. They won’t be letting him go unless they get way overs. I wouldn’t be getting involved.
-
TMac on the Trade Table?
Send Tmac to North for Polec. Both contracted on good coin and on the outer.
-
Adam Saad
Saad would be ok but having to deal with Essendon on a trade I couldn't think of anything worse. Id rather leave it.
- POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs GWS

Tom McDonald
List management nightmare. Guy on decent coin with multiple years left that can't get a game. Will have to pay some of his salary to move him on you would think.
