Travy14

I use Tom Mitchell as an example. He wasn't even in Sydney's team. But teams knew he was a gun, they got pick 14 for him. What injury? He has shown what he can do, Jack Watts was worth exactly what we got for him. If he got picked up by Freo, NM, Saints, Adel, Carlton, or Syd. He is then top 2 mid. Ya gotta pay for that

I doubt that very much, he would get snapped up traight away and clubs will pay for him! Freo would be hot on him i recon, yeh its Viney or Brayshaw, I think viney has stepped up this year, brayshaw could have but hast had the opportunity.

Agree on our drafting, Jackson is going to be a great player yes, but we needed Hayden Young

Hey Dees fans, First of all this isn't a smack brayshaw post. He has been my favourite player for a long time. But the fact of the matter is he is a gun bull midfielder and looks to be behind Viney, Trac and Oliver. Fair enough. Unfortunately Brayshaw struggles in any other position, he can be a top 20 mid if he plays there. If we aren't going to use him in the midfield he is too good to be a back up, we have Harmes, Vanders, Sparrow, salem and the like for that. Brayshaw will have alot of value and we need to be bold or we will go around in another 7 year loop and get no where, our back line is good, our midfield is good (inside), our fwd line needs the delivery to see if they are any good. The biggest thing we lack is class and polish. Could we be bold and try put a big deal including brayshaw and get a Whitfield(or someone of the like). We need ball users!

O'Mac has to stay in, be done with Smith. Just locks down his man and allows Lever to be third man in. He is gonna do some things that fustrate but so do our mids.

Out: Melksham, Lockhart and T'Mac* if injured In: Jones, A N-B, Brown*

Melksham very lucky Tomlinson a bit unlucky. All in all im happy with the changes, woulda liked to see Jones in too

David King is a [censored], doesnt do research and blurts his mouth without thinking. 2018 & 19 he tipped us for the flag, stating in the finals of 2018 "melb have no weakness". He then goes on to say no where in the world do other sports target defenders, Soccer have always done it with keepers and defenders. It hasn't worked thus far, at the time those trades were fine, we were going to lose Hogan and got something for him. There is an effort issue atm, it's like the players think all that fitness work in the pre-season is enough. They have done the hard work. Cue in the rack. Time to drop the guys not working hard enough, even if it is an Oliver, Gawn (obviously he is fine) or Lever. This season is a great opportunity now to refocus and build toward next yr. But its the last chance!!

Get O'Mac in to lock down the number 1 fwd, bennel and Jones for some skill. Another tall fwd to ease T'Macs work load. And Melksham has to be out. Bedford's pace might be nice if he can squeeze in somehow I dont know how long we can have Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, and vanders in our mids, all the same type player. Seasons end one or two may need to be traded. Viney and Petracca the most currency id say, with Petracca and Oliver being untouchable.

In: Bennel, Jones, Weidemen Out: Melksham, Hunt, Smith

B: Jetta May Hibberd HB: Salem O. Mac Lever ? Langdon Oliver Tomlinson HF: Melksham Fritsch Petracca Fwd: Pickett T. Mac Weideman Mid: Gawn Brayshaw Viney Harmes Hore Jones Lockhart (vanders if fit) I think O. Mac is needed for lever to be at his intercepting best. If the matchup isn't there then he misses out Hore goes in and then a Hunt or Baker comes into the 22 for speed.

Poor AFL just got reminded they arn't above the law, by all accounts SA would have come to the party if the AFL discussed it with them. But being the arrogant organisation they are they just assumed it would work out the way they wanted. A good return to earth moment for the AFL, in a couple of weeks SA will let them have the exemptions, just making them sweat a bit. My opinion anyways
