He will get a massive pre-season under his belt and develop a huge tank. Salem is a classy player we need to run out games and deliver for us in the 4th quarter when the game is on the line. Similar to Jack Watts, he will help win the games that are on the line.

My money is that he has his mind set on Hawthorn and Gold Coast knows this. Unfortunately this sticky situation will deem it very difficult for Gold Coast to secure the best deal for their club, which is why they have come out and said Jaegar has no right to choose what club he is heading to. Hopefully the club can secure the best deal they can, and he doesn't hold the club ransom and strong arms Gold Coast to get to Hawthorn and them only having to give up two first rounds which doesn't really equate to much when they finish high on the ladder.

Tigers must be licking their lips this upcoming trade period. The amount of recycled players they can choose from is endless. It's like a kid walking into an ice-cream store. "Hmm.. what flavour do I feel like today?!"

It's the curse of the contract signature. Vandenberg, Gartlett, Vince.

Wasnt that the Vandenberg one? Or was this another situation?

Are we the most mentally fragile club in the league? We need to learn to stamp down our authority and head into games where we are expected to win and actually come out firing. It will obviously come in time and younger players will learn to deal with the pressure. But this is inexcusable.

Second round pick for Hibberd and their fourth.

Fremantle should bite the bullet and trade Fyfe. They need a rebuild. Their list is aging and with very limited youth coming through. Hawthorn are on a very similar path, but they just have the leaders to win their games. Fremantle missed their window and need to start again. By injecting two first round picks this year in a very talented draft pool alongside luring McCarthy and Lobb if they can get them would set them up on an exciting path.

Watch Richmond recruit him.. lol

I wish the Clark deal was just a straight swap with Varcoe.. ah well

I think we have seen the last of The Prince.. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2016-08-18/lumumba-to-be-placed-on-longterm-injury-list

If we are considering letting Trengove go, there is no way we would consider recruiting someone like Morabito.

Usually people with a basketball background are very good in close. Clean hands, not as fumbly and seem to have more time than others.

Would we possibly entertain Zac Clark? 26 years of age and can take a grab. Some of the people I know are best mates with Zac and he is eager to come back to live in Melbourne. Thoughts? Could come cheap.

I think he would add a lot to our midfield. Quick outside player who can find the goals. Doesn't mind an overhead pack mark also. Yes from me.

I am in absolute love with Lobb. He is a star in the making. Will be one of the best forward/ruck swingman in the competition and would be very high on our priority list. Unless we can pull off a Mitch Clark type deal in convincing him to change his mind and come to VIC I can see him going back home. In conclusion, I would be over the moon if we landed Lobb.

If they get one this year, at least we traded away our first round pick!

This kid is going to be elite. Will reach higher levels than Petracca. Mark my words.

Oliver was absolutely sensational. Seriously. I watch him very closely and everytime he gets the ball the ability to just spot a player in a contest and release a handball is absolutely mouth watering.

Stretch was fantastic yesterday. He really let himself down when he was streaming down on the wing and had 2 free players inside 50 and unfortunately kicked it out on the full.

Future 1st round + Salem. They wouldn't take someone like ANB. To get someone as good as Rance, we have to give up for what he is worth. I would hate to part with Salem, but I think a deal like this would get it over the line and beneficial for us in the long run.

There is no way Garland is worth a second rounder.. Clubs would offer no more than a 4th rounder for him.

I loved watching Wellingham completely spud it up.

So.. what you're saying is. The disciplined and successful AFL players don't touch ANY junk food/beer for the whole of the AFL season? You've got no idea....

It would be interesting to see those last quarters that we've lost who we played against the previous round and where. I still think the trip up to the NT played a massive toll in us running out of legs.
