I feel that way about GWS.

For anyone undecided who they want to win, would you rather see 100,000 feral, rabid, arrogant and passionate people shattered and heart broken after a loss or the 15 orange people that probably couldn't give a toss that they've lost and will move onto following Sydney Roosters the following week? The answer's pretty simple i would've thought.

Should we have a look at him as a DFA to address our pace issue?

Looks like our poor form has extended into the trade & drafting season.

With today's re-signings, you'd imagine it's curtains for he and JFK.

Going to pop the champagne cork tonight with those names.

I'd take him. A noted 2 goal a game goal kicker. Have no faith in Weideman, and T Mac needs support. We simply can't have a repeat of rounds 22 and 23 again when we literally ran out of key forwards. The situation was that dire that we couldn't even play O Mac as a forward because even he was injured after T Mac, Weed, T Smith and Petty.

GC should make a massive play (with the AFL's help) on getting Max King rather than the other way around with respect to St Kilda trying to poach Ben. People are moaning about how bad this club has become but are not offering up any solutions on how to fix it. Getting Max up there with a generous salary package (possibly outside the cap) would be a start

Richmond would be spewing they chose him over Fyfe.

Good luck to him. Needs opportunity and he'll get it up there if he's half good enough.

Anyone think Fritsch could be the equal to or better than Elliott? If Fritsch’s games against West Coast (4 goals) and North (3 goals including a mark of the year contender and goal from outside 50 into a howling wind) are any indication for the future, then we’ve got a belter of a player on our hands.

We should all get together one day and pull out the 1989 VHS copy of the Melbourne V Geelong Panasonic Cup triumph. Sadly that might be the only taste of success we’ll ever see with this mob.

No.

Are we keeping JFK around for another year for his obligatorily 5 games a year?

I don't even think Salem is worth a high teens pick. Two times in his career (2017 and 2019) his form has fallen off the cliff in the second half of the year.

I’d take him back. How many games did we lose on account of putrid inside 50 entires this year? Watts would be the only bloke at this club that could consistently deliver an inside 50 competently.

Any possibility we play in Alice Springs twice to make up for the Darwin revenue shortfall? We seem to play well in Alice. The WC loss this year was one of our better performances for the year, and we’ve had some big wins there in 2017 and 2018.

Any chance they play 2 Darwin games a year. We host one. GC host the other. Speculation GC may relocate to Darwin for good.

It does seem rough and unfair, but I'm happy to get away from the joint from a winning and recovery point of view. How will Pert and Co address the shortfall in revenue lost?

Good news. The only team we could beat up there was Freo. The AFL kept sending up WC and Adelaide which were ostensibly home games for them. Will the home game be transferred to Marvel or Alice?

You're dead right. Funny how thousands of VIC based MFC supporters spent in excess of $2,000 to go over to WA to watch our prelim. Yet a great deal of others (and probably a few that made that WA trip) can't even be bothered making the 'road trip' to the fringe of the central business district.

Great news if true. That NT game will no doubt be transferred to Marvel rather than the MCG, but at least most of us we'll be able to see it live. Will be up to Pert to make up for the missing revenue that the Darwin game provides, unless we play 2 Alice games a year.

I actually reckon the Dogs got away lightly from the media, for their pathetic loss to GWS. They lost by only 8 point less than what we did and at least we had 2 finals wins to show for our September.

His highlight of his season was kicking a belter of a goal in the unofficial practice match V's Collingwood.
