Well, I don’t know how to riak to this

You want to put him in the ruck Are we just allergic to nice things and good decisions? If given the choice? JVR can do it.

We can hire a running coach then.

Looks great and will be a salve for those that worry for CO13 and CP5.

I think you need to look through this thread again… I hope for the best!

Yes yes yes. We’ve all said things Its about what the bloke does from here

Should have just kept him

Harvey bounding on stage

Always rated the kid Seriously, what else can you do but embrace it… Hes injured isn’t he? So maybe off HB at the end of the year?

Ah yes it has worried Daniel. And I posted ‘slight’ - which is different to small. He looks to have a great kick in space. Everyone does. I don’t see any elite aspects to his game and you need at least one to be a top 15 pick

Berry looks a better prospect than a number of the other ones talked about. Wish you could do the ‘NBA style draft and then trade an hour later for value’ - you could turn Allan into Berry and Hynes.

When we deserted a good game plan and deliberately played ‘dump’ footy to the wings and pockets to protect sore mids in 2022 we deserved everything that has come our way. Everything. The 6 and 6 finish to 2022 that culminated in that embarrassing straight sets. The straight jacket we were in with 70 odd I50s against Coll in THAT QF. The falling off a cliff last year and stilted attempt to get back to positive footy. The lower than expected crowds throughout that for various reasons, but the footy isn’t the draw. And now the draw of irrelevance. Its all deserved - and it can be traced back to the arrogance of 2022. Off my soapbox now.

He reminds me of Troy Makepeace… so there’s that

I would reach for him. Langford, Allan and Hines are the ones that stand out to me of those that would be available. Smith looks bright too but the bigger bodies are not going anywhere the next 10 years. Footy is increasingly returning to what you can do out of a stoppage - powering out of it with strength at the front of the contest and competing 1:1 is how games will be decided.

More puns! Groan. This is going to give me a Thor head

I would get this bloke if available at 9. Can play back, can compete forward, can play through the middle, elite footy winning ability. Craft can come as he enters pro footy. Anyway, we will find out soon enough

He is so slight… hmm, have to remember that they build into their bodies. Looks like an elite kick but has to find a position on the field to compete to be in a position to kick the ball… We already have Bowey down back, the wings are taken, is he too small for midfield? can he play a forward role? I just don’t know man

What does this mean? With regard to the latter rounds of the draft or have you ordered something off Amazon

Thanks for clarifying, I was about to say you need more practice using your computer machine.

Another flag and another Caleb Windsor? Welcome to the MFC Bo Allan!

As opposed to doing what exactly?

Well, in that disaster scenario - we would have traded CO13 and CP5 for assets that could bolster that cohort. I am all for getting 2 mids but let’s not kid ourselves about the ease of which you can get Oliver and Petracca level talents.

2021 broke peoples brains. We were never as good as the QF, PF, and GF trailblaze. We also did well to finish 1st with a come back win over Geelong down there. We have the same core and have added to it in measurable ways. What we have lacked is a gameplan that allows our best players to get the ball in good positions to score goals. And what we didn’t have in 2024 is luck with injury and the still minds of a few aimless 20 something blokes. 2025 I have high hopes for - especially with Goodwin still there and with the quiet way he has about him, to get this group back to concentrating on footy. I don’t think we will win the flag - but I expect us to be tough to beat every week and potent as we coalesce around a positive game plan.

The draw is fine. We were going to travel and play with red footys as soon as we tumbled. And boy did we tumble… And 3.20 Sunday is not ‘the bad old days’ - that slot is on C7 and leads into the news. The bad old days was 1.10 on Sunday when no one cared you were playing. My advice to fans in Melbourne - get to games, don’t boo Petracca, and if you’re upset about only 12 games at the G, you know how you can get more games at the G next year???
