We haven't had a home game at Docklands since 2016.

Knowing Peter Bell it would be Hogan and our future first rounder for Cerra.

Agreed. I'm glad our current and potentially future elite players in Gawn, T Mac, Oliver, Brayshaw , Harmes, Petracca, Salem and Weideman are VIC blokes.

You guys need to re-watch their shock win over Sydney. May was marking absolutely everything (14 marks) that day. The ball just wouldn't get past him. An elite defender's game.

Marks per game in 2018 when comparing with the best defenders in the league: May - 7.5 McGovern - 7.0 Stewart - 6.0 Rance - 5.5

It's been speculated about 400K a year. Slightly above the average wage.

Why on earth would Tyson agree to play at GC? He spent two years at GWS when they went 3-41. Then years later finally plays finals in his home town and is content with life. Only to be told he'll be playing for a 2 or 3 win Gold Coast side for the next couple of years.

Absolutely not. It would be an absolute circus having him at the club. All he'd bring to the table is injuries, night club incidents etc....

Typical millennials! Changing work places at the drop of a hat.

I was dead against the Darwin game, but the facts are we beat a decent Port the week after in 2017, and then had a dominant second half against the Dogs this year. We’ve handled Darwin recovery with aplomb after 9 seasons up there.

We beat the Dogs by 7 goals the week after Darwin, and then proceeded to win 7 of our last 10 games (which coincided with our best month of footy since 2000) Would’ve we done any better had we not played in Darwin?

I’ve heard we’ve asked for Hayden Ballantyne thrown into the package.

Weed was horrid in the prelim.

Tyson and Salem were our 2 worst players in the prelim.

The JFK 1 year contract extension more than softens the blow for the impeding Hogan departure.

Brilliant tonight. How good was that set shot in the 3rd when they were coming at us. Would have to go close to getting a vote in the Demoland player of the year, in a final!

Did Yze Magic end up getting drafted? Pretty sure he declared for the 07 or 08 draft?? Hopefully the bloke isn't actually dead.

Given how much of a shambles Freo's foward line, I'd expect Freo to pay up big. Real big. Pick 5 and their second rounder would be a great start.

I thought they ranked the draft after finals rather than round 23. For instance a club could finish 8th after round 23 and then win the flag. Surely that club would get pick 18 (premiership) rather than pick 10 (rd 23 finish)

Not sure who's been the better recruit. Him or Hibberd.

If Pedo can do a better job trying to get us into the finals than Weid then Pedo stays. Can't afford to have someone on his L plates in MFC's two most important weeks in years. Having said that Pedo has been atrocious this year in the seniors. A real step back from a good 2017.

Hopefully we have better luck in it than the pink jumper which we are 0-6 in.

So basically the club is conceding that this year's Darwin game is going to physically effect our run home this season. Not good. However, good news that we may be looking to get out of the deal. More than happy to have that home game transferred to Etihad given how well we play there and how badly we play at the MCG. Interesting that last year we had a good win over Port the week after Darwin, but then put in 2 lackluster performances against North and GWS (both interstate). So the flow on effects could last beyond the 1 week.

Yeah thanks for that. Good memory or research by you. Was only focusing on Friday night home and away games and that final slipped my mind.
