Humphrey’s going to cost too much for the position we’re in. The list’s not at a point where we can throw 2 or 3 first rounders at one player. There’s a few holes all over the field. If you bring in Humphrey right before Tassie comes in you’re basically saying he’s the missing piece, but there’s more to it than that for us, particularly in defence

Forget about Butters it’s not happening. You think our defence and forwards are good enough? Jeez.

He kicked one against Gold Coast

We’re just wasting time playing JVR forward now unfortunately. A month at Casey as a key defender is the way to go I think. I’d be playing Kentfield and Jefferson (who are actually natural forwards) in the 1’s with Mihocek for the rest of the year. JVR was drafted as a swing man and played a lot of footy in defence the year we took him with a first round pick. I am hoping we have just chosen his wrong position.

Is the direction of the club clear this year yet? Is King trying to contend? I’m not interested in players like Melksham, McDonald, Salem and Lever continuing to play to help drag us to a wildcard final. What’s that achieve? We clearly won’t win the whole thing this year, those players aren’t going to be in the side in 27’ and 28’, so it’s time to accept there may be a couple more losses and start playing their replacements NOW, to fast track the future. Kentfield, Jefferson and Taylor are the ones I’ve got my eyes on.

Terrible take, sorry. Would go against every reason we drafted him

We shouldn’t be giving games to guys that aren’t going to be here next year anyway.

@Dannyz You reported that Rivers didn’t want to de-load during the summer and get his knee right because he wanted to play State Of Origin right? That’s looking pretty stupid now isn’t it? Missing what will probably be at least a month of the season.

If I had to guess, I’d say we’ll go really hard at Humphrey, and are probably keeping an eye on Zane Duursma. Haven’t seen any links between us and Butters yet, it’ll probably be Dogs. All just guesses though!

I’ve got no idea unfortunately GawnOfTheDead, wish I knew a few in the know but I don’t! All stupid opinions are my own

Not sure I’d sleep ever again knowing my club had four chances to take Murphy Reid and didn’t, and taking three other tall forwards before Shanahan

Well yeah of course that’s what Melbourne’s going to believe and put out there, would’ve been a lot more exciting if that’s what Caro thinks, but that’s not what was said

She and her family have relocated to GC

That's not what was said. She said 'they' believe the deal will get done this year, not herself. Hopefully you're not trying to twist her words and simply misheard

Yes he did, too hard for Oliver though

What a load of [censored]. Grow up

Give it a rest 😂

Fritsch a ‘test’ this week! Great news. Bowey 4-5 weeks. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1991062/injury-report-latest-on-fritsch-bowey-and-more

Good point. I wasn’t suggesting that being an older team was a bad thing, just trying to get a gauge on where we’re at and where the club sees itself, this narrative that we’re a young rebuilding side just seems slightly off. To me it feels more like when McRae took over Collingwood in 22’, everyone thought they were at the start of a rebuild and turns out that wasn’t really necessary, he just turned the club around

Have you sent the right link? All that is is team selections? Can’t see anything about age. Apologies if I was wrong though, did hear it during radio commentary though

Still a fact though isn’t it. You’ve also got Mihocek (33) Steele (30) Salem (30) Lever (30) and Langdon (30), combined with the names you’ve already mentioned, that’s eight players over 30, so it’s definitely not a young side.

Not quite what he said. He said he’s 4th for ‘centre bounce impact’, whatever that means… Wasn’t backed up by any stats. I find it hard to believe to be honest, Windsor has had just an ok start to the season

2nd oldest team of the round, is interesting

May’s deal ran out this year anyway, wont be paying him anything next year. We’re not paying a cent of Petracca’s contract.
