Good signing happy with him ... did anyone notice the lack of sponsors on the polo shirt again.

Freeman at pick 9 is hilarious, the kid can't kick.

He looks like a poor mans Liam Picken.

Wow

That is literally one of the more ridiculous posts I have seen on here

and that is saying something.

I wonder what he would look/play like now if he was originally picked up by Essendon.....

He goes from his weight and build to a build akin to a sally pearson build. No amount of drugs given to him can make him big. Still wouldn't want to lift weights

I don't mind Freeman, has tidy skills, however the one thing that bothers me is that he is so short. I normally don't have a problem with it but in the position we are in at the moment we can't really afford to carry a very small midfielder who has to put on a bit more muscle to compete. Remembering AFL is a big step up from the under 18s

Sorry, Dazzledavey36, but I now dislike you. You have officially ruined the preseason for me. I've never met you but you have given me that glimmer of hope for 2014 that I was determined not to allow myself. I was determined not to be burnt again by raising expectations based upon preseason changes. You have now ruined this for me. How could I not have more hope after seeing Roos at work - even if it was at junior level.

Great video clips of a great coach with great communication skills who clearly and without compromise demonstrates the run and structure of modern footy. I cannot adequately communicate via a keyboard how impressive I found Roos' clarity and simplicity in those videos.

I can see Jones, Trengove, Clark, Frawley, Toumpas all hanging off his every word and growing week by week.

It's not easy to not be excited although I temper it slightly knowing that although we have Paul Roos, we still have a lot of players that were there last season.

Played juniors in Victoria for 2 premierships

Moved to Tasmania and played at the North Launceston Football Club for 5 years and then country football for one season

Moved back to Melbourne and played EFL for three years and then moved to the ammos for another season and a half before I moved to Ballarat and buggered my ankle.

15 years of football and the last seven have been copping [censored] for being a demons fan

I don't mind him at all although I don't enjoy feeling like im having a stroke every time he goes to kick the ball. He needs to put in the extra yards and stay back after training ala scott west and brad johnson who used to put witches hats out at different distances until they hit them every time. He has so much potential and I am hoping his kicking improves so he can fully realise it.

'

good, he will have no problem then with signing up to a 10 year contract.

10 years wow you're confident I say 15 years with no a trading clause for 10 haha

I don't think we will go for Sheed. Roos looks like he is targeting taller mids

Vince 188

Michie 185

Tyson 186

All taller than Sheed.

Just watched KK highlights. Got a lethal kick on him! Wouldn't be upset if we nabbed him. Could see him playing on a wing straight away.

Wing/switching to half back. I love this kid I have made my mind up but I'm not a recruiter.

Very good call, only have to see Clark when he was playing well in 2012 that he played an extra crumber aswell.

That's true. Any midfielder should be able to crumb as that is what they do at the centre bounce. Far too many people overrate small forwards. The only one I would consider is Mark LeCras and he's not even that small

Crumbing forwards are not as essential as they used to be. Look at Carlton this year, they relied on their small forwards and not only did they not all play well together, they actually didn't do much as individuals either. The small forward these days is generally a resting midfielder

I too have a feeling we will pinch someone under a clubs nose whether its a Sam Docherty or that Karnizis from brissy?

Karnezis will either get to North or Collingwood plus we don't need him. I actually don't rate him that highly. Docherty maybe but if Carlton weren't into him then I doubt anyone would be talking about him. I don't know who the player is but I have a feeling we're after someone. I actually wouldn't mind having a go at Birchall for pick 9 and a player. They have Suckling coming back and Schoenmakers aswell and pick 9 may appeal to them. Next to no chance of it happening but money talks these days.

Not as much as a ''Damo Barrett'' as yourself.

Anyhoo back on topic anyone still reckon we will pinch one more player before the week ends? Hopefully a Sam Docherty slips to the PSD

For some reason I get the feeling we aren't finished yet. Normally the club will come out and say our trading is done as of yet I haven't heard that (I may be mistaken) I'm not saying we can get Kennedy but I get the feeling we are after someone else.

KK's video was the most impressive I viewed. I particularly liked his intercept marking & his left foot is a gem. Hit targets both long & short. My question is where does he fit with MFC

Quite simple. As I have stated we have no backline players who can consistently hit targets. Kolodjashnij's left foot is a weapon and we can definitely use that coming out of the backline. IMO our rebounding from defence was poor at times last year and he would shore it up a bit.

He won't be there at pick 40. If he is then it is a steal. Even if the kid had some issues Mitch Clark will give him a whack around the ears if he plays up. Plus I for one am over the goody goody two shoes players

Kade Kolodjashnij

National Carnival Stats:

• Round 1 - 37 disposals, 2 clearances and 5 rebound 50′s.
• Round 2 - 24 disposals and 4 rebounds.
• Round 3 - 27 disposals, 9 marks, and 1 goal.
• Round 4 - 34 touches, 10 marks, 5 inside-50′s and 2 goals
• Round 5 – 15 disposals, 3 marks, 2 clearances and 3 rebound 50′s.

Michie looks a lot more developed in the arms than I thought he was

KK is an out and out gun... The most improvement out of ANY of the draftees coming through.

If they all played an extra year, based on improvement rates, KK would pass the lost of them.

Kids got it all.

That's my thinking. Plus we could really use a flanker with a lethal boot. Helps our defence clear the ball as a few of our defenders don't know how to kick to a target.

I have a feeling we will go for a midfielder/flanker with height. KK is a big chance to be picked up by us. Left footer who is so clean by foot and can take a mark. Fyfe is a similar player with his height also kolodjashni is a better kick.

Do the numbers really matter ? except for the legends of our club. I don't care if players wear #75 as long as they get the football and we win games.

Ahh yess I am tipping 50% of instagram is full of photos of peoples food.

I don't get the whole instagram thing as I am nowhere close to being a photographer, however for a footballer Mitch Clark's keen eye and camera shots have really impressed me

Latish pick and a player offer him money and see where it goes .. tappy/blease and a pick may get it done, just not pick 9

I actually hope we draft Kolodjashnij. He is exactly what we need right now. How terrible has our disposal off half back been in recent years ? Someone who can use the ball well and has naturally played in that position will be a big plus for mine.
