Wow McDonald doesn't look like getting near it. Stands under the ball, can't take a contested mark and always seems to be in no man's land.

Yeah but I think not replacing him is a massive reason why our forward line is so disfunctional.

McDonald has no idea what he's doing. He's either behind the defender, standing still or no where near it. How hard is it to lead towards the ball carrier? How hard is it to make a contest and bring the ball to ground.

Ahh clearly you need to get behind our recruiting strategy. Gregson would be a perfect fit on our long term injury list with 4 x surgeries on a troubled left foot. Lets sign him up.

Yep, this kid is pretty darn good and so is Butters. Also watching this game, I see Todd Marshall doing what Weideman should be doing for us. Marshall's not kicking a lot of goals himself but he's creating plenty by bringing the ball to ground.

Six spots left: Who'll get the last AFL lifelines for 2019? The AFL website mentions we have 1 spot left on our list and "industry sources" suggest no teams will enter the season one player short

Another highlights video for new demon Tom Sparrow

Averaging an impressive 32 disposals per game in his eight U18 appearances this year, Nietschke is just the second Bulldog – since Brendan Dew in 2014 – to be voted MVP. Nominated in Round 1 for racking up 39 disposals and 82 per cent efficiency, Nietschke also rose up the ranks to play five Reserves games and make three Macca’s League appearances under premiership mentor Roy Laird. impressive stats

I like the look of Mitch Maguire mature age 20 yo NEAFL product. Zorko clone is their description, averaged 27 disposals and 7 clearances for the Canberra Demons.

So Port get Burton, Mayes and 2 x First Round Picks #5 & #15 for Wingard and Pick #6 And were struggling to get 1 first round pick for Hogan? What has the world come to?

Bit unknown, Hogan amd Tyson played 20 and 17 games this year and Kent when fit was selected. May would strengthen our defence but at who's expense? O.Mac gets games before Frost in Goodwins eyes. Jetta May Hibberd Lever O.Mac Salem Kent isn't much of a loss we have plenty of half forwards. Losing Hogan is a bummer, hoping Weed can continue to develop and kick 30+ in 2019. Tom Mcdonald will need to kick 40+ Will be interesting to see if KK can be a regular 22 player and where he plays his best football. He only played 8 games this year and 11 games in 2017.

How many flags did they win with their original teams Ablett (2), Buddy (2), Judd (1).

Any updates? Now the season's over

Hmm I don't know anymore. If we were competitive today I would have agreed but today's performance was embarrasing. Time will tell how the club takes this loss.

No way we should trade him, he's kicked 40 goals in 3 out of his 4 playing years, plus he kicked 39 goals (15 games) in the VFL as a 17 year old. He's had a tough run of personal issues and injury. As people have mentioned, KPP take time to hit their prime and that's scary as Hoge's is already a star.

21 tackles for Munro, that's super impressive. AFL record is 19 by Jack Zeibell

Kicking 18 behinds is not coaching related

Bye bye finals hopes 2018

Disappointed, Disgusting, Disaster, Destroyed, Dreadful, Dismal, Depressed etc. etc.

Closest I could find was he went at 83% disposal efficiency over the weekend which included 7 clangers. AFL statistics also have him in the top 20 for average effective disposals per game.

At the game but missed the Fritch overturn, can someone explian?

Hi All, Mods delete if inappropriate, but came across a great deal on Melbourne gear and thought I should share. I wanted to buy a new jumper due to someone being traded out of the club last year. Anyways came across a 50% code for New Balance and found that it also applies to MFC gear on their website. Free delivery over $100 also. https://www.newbalance.com.au/men/collections/melbourne-football-club-1/ Code: BUPA50PYC2018

If take 27 and 35 to the draft what type of player would we be targeting? I'd like us to add some midfield speed as our current list is a bit one paced. Would love to see Bonar slide to 27, highly rated junior but recovering from 2 knee reconstructions. Draft Combine Speed Results Smartspeed 20-metre sprint Jack Petruccelle - 2.87 seconds Kane Farrell - 2.90 Aiden Bonar - 2.90 Ben Miller - 2.91 Nick Coffield - 2.91 Ben Paton - 2.95 Brent Daniels - 2.95 Stefan Okunbar - 2.95 Jaidyn Stephenson - 2.95 Nicholas Shipley - 2.97

Rapt to get Lever, we have some serious young talent now Lever, Hunt, Oliver and Petracca in the AFLPA Under 22 team. We can revisit who won this trade in 5 years time.
