Yeesh. Taking that many in the draft doesn’t bode well.

Sad it has got to this point. I am one of those romantic fools that wants him to come to the 15 year reunion and have a smile on his face. Same with Oliver of course. It was a great ride.

His injury was a freak broken middle toe so fingers crossed his body isn’t too banged up where it matters in the soft tissue. I am excited I have to say. FF Heath Melksham Fritsch HFF Chandler Mihocek Henderson B Tholstrup TALL PLAYER X I can see Laurie getting some time if Tholstrup goes into the middle. McAdam maybe but injuries. I know the above doesn’t look great but players would be in their roles that they can execute. With 4 proven AFL role players in their best positions. For the tall player x my order would be: JVR, Johnson, Kentfield, Yze, Jefferson

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd troll confirmed.

Well I like him

He is not saying that the club goes public, only that Humphrey’s camp to go public with the desire. It would only help to move the needle. If GC are dug in but they get pressure from the outside about a player who wishes to go home it may move the club.

Too soon

That asterisk is working hard

Leaking to a journo the dirty laundry, or the ‘tea’ as the kids say, is a bit different to the guarded inside word of a few on a fan forum.

I just want him to do what CP5 has done - no breaking of contract just a thirsty desire to go to a specific club while in contract…

We learned about ourselves

Mate, that was the last two years after Ben Brown left. JVR can barely carry himself, don’t make him continue to carry a Jefferson or Kentfield.

We learned this lesson in 2008-2013 didn’t we? No one develops when everyone is ‘developing’ God I hate being a Melbourne supporter sometimes

Interesting Sydney pushing out players to go for Curnow. They are so aggressive aren’t they? Lockett, Franklin, Curnow.

That may be, but our best forward last year was Jake Melksham. So we can do with the gamble

His answer to the ‘good mids at Melbourne are going mate’ (paraphrase) question was haphazard but great: Kids getting in there lift and they have some objectively talented young players.

Looking at it from GC’s POV - they are seriously wanting to get all their academy players PLUS a top 15 player this off season. We are not obliged to give a flying about meeting ‘their goals’. Give us Bailey or [censored] off

You seem to be the one melting over peoples thoughts and feelings, A.

So tenth, twelfth, and 2026 fifteenth best talent? Look, I can see just ‘going with it’ but I would prefer to keep Petracca. But that’s just me - resident Happy Clapper as is the term apparently.

Unfortunately Geelong look like they are going to good into the future so they aren’t worth much.

Now, WERRIDEE, I asked for Heath in the starting 6. Further prompts - can I get that without CP5 and Petty. Let’s see what that looks like. Like that FF line tho

Mate, we are Melbourne supporters - we are born with the innate ability to be disappointed and prepared for disappointment. No one here needs to be told that. We are just keen for the club to do what other clubs seem to give when it comes to luring talent to the club - SOMETHING. Now it may not pan out, and we can move on in the whatever form that takes but the club is not on a fools errand trying to convince a good young player to come to the club so we, as supporters, can hold out hope it goes in our favour.

Great to have it done. I don’t sweat the small stuff so don’t care about the value of giving picks in 3rd and beyond in this teenage draft. Yeah, shoot me. IDC

@WERRIDEE (I am using him like ChatGPT) - can you please give me a starting forward 6 plus 2 bench players but I want Heath in the 6. Ta
