Darren Burgess Potential Return to Victoria
So we should definitely get him back?

I disagree with what I know of the players at the top end of this yearās draft. In JT I trust. In saying this you may well end up being correct. Iād still prefer we gambled on a 10-12 year elite mid over a 28 year old Houston. Adding players at Houstonās age and likely cost doesnāt excite me with our current list profile

If we paid pick 5 for Houston weāre banking on the big 4, May and Lever playing at close to AA level. Along with that weāre also banking on a revised game plan, the continued growth of our youngsters and the form and fitness of our mid tier group and the continued form of Houston. Itās only if all that happens are we going to push for a flag and for mine thatās the only reason youād take Houston over pick 5. Itās a massive gamble and Iām not a gambling man. I actually think if all the above happened and pick 5 was a plug and play midfielder weād be almost as likely to win the flag. So why take Houston at the likely asking price?

The MCC is getting ridiculously expensive is what I will say.

Hopefully Kalani White chooses Melbourne, although I assume the club knows the answer to this already.

Thats all fine but when a top 3/4 player in the league wants out of your club itās a big story in any oneās book. Of course the media are going to be all over it and of course people are going to react. Iām pretty sure in one of your posts your tone towards Petracca showed a level of dissatisfaction. Did you grind yourself a little as well šš¤

Time to move on...... I know it's quick and you need to process but he helped win us a Flag and he may of just forced the club to make some overdue changes. I also know many on here, including myself, took a few swipes at him but footy remains a game where supporters expect their players to remain steadfastly loyal. That is unless a trade suits us, which this one didn't. Either way I'm back on the Tracc wagon for now, I think you should jump aboard

When Faced with Adversity, You Fight Back and Win
I did flip flop a few times through the season. The Adelaide wins probably got me a bit over excited from a whole club perspective and I excused the loss to Brisbane the week after. The youngsters gave me hope for next year but thatās evaporating into thin air thanks to the last few weeks. Iām hoping trade period gets me up and about again. Oh and Iām a terrible gambler hence I never do it.

Trade Targets
Rivers potential as a mid looks sound, McVee is nowhere near ready and is so accomplished at HB youāre robbing Peter to pay Paul. Tholstrup is also a fair way off. He has some solid attributes but heās got a long long way to go. We desperately need Oliverās best back to be the extractor along with Viney. We simply must get 2 āWindsorā level mids through the door this draft period.

We desperately need to adjust our game plan and we all know that will take adding some skill and pace. Itās all about mids for most of us. Weāre not going to find backup for Max next year unless we trade out Petracca for McKay/TDK so itās likely JVR again. Iām disappointed that it appears weāre not linked to any mid 20ās quality mid from another club. If we start next season with the 21 midfield again and think that running Rivers through there is going to be enough I think weāll struggle to do much better that 6-10.
