Redleg

He has had an up and down year with some indiscretions, but given his last few weeks and especially the last round where he was Freo's 2nd best player and leading goalkicker, he is unlucky not to have been given another year. He can still play good football.

I went off Nat at the Dome game but I am not so sure now. He can clearly do what Watts is supposed to be good at, taking a mark in the forward line. He is big, strong, quick and has an amazing leap. He can also play in the ruck and backline. He is aggressive in his tackling and if played in the forward line will help keep the ball there with forward defensive pressure. He is not a one trick pony. He will be ready to play next year. He would be a marketing dream for the club as well. Could he be the next Buddy? Maybe. All he has to do is mark the ball coming down and kick truly. Easy isn't it? Not impossible though. If we take Nat, Watts will wait until next year to nominate and we still might get him. I am truly confused.

Either do I.

He is not the type of guy to walk away, he was pushed. Also he loves a dollar and a payout would be part of the deal.

Wayne Carey was no one ?

I hope to god Jimmy is not involved in recruiting, unless it is to use his contacts to source out a few Irish lads.

It is not that simple, but as Axis said, if you keep your head, you can achieve a few deals this way that are loaded our way. Also, instead of giving our ND picks, we might be able to trade a player or two of ours to the other club.

Would think he has been paid out and will not coach next year, if again. Media looks a good bet.

Happy Birthday Jaded. Hope you have a great day.

The problem with that is you eliminate the real use of the PSD pick 1 which is as a bargaining tool. In addition you set yourself up as a target for revenge raids in the future. In my opinion we have a real chance here to get 2-3 players with this pick. The first two are deals done using the threat of the pick, thereby securing a favourable deal and the third is by actually using it to select at PSD time the best available player. Not to do this would be a total waste of having the pick. A bloody minded attitude of just getting Warnock for nothing would be self defeating. How much better would our side be with three new players who are worthy of being in our best 22 than only one?

Brisbane if the news is correct.

And we would retain pick 1 in the PSD.

Nice bloke. Got the most out of his ability. Good luck in retirement.

"In 300 minutes of playing on Nick Riewoldt, Alan Didak, Robert Murphy, Brett Burton, Hall and Rioli, Garland did not concede a goal". This was a great line from the article.

The words " will be a demon next year" and "is almost certain to happen" don't sit well together in the same post.

It misses entertainment, decency, respect and aside from Hutchy information.

Incorrect.

Would think the likely bench is Grimes (sure to play first game), Holland (send off game against old club ), Wheatley (had a good year, say farewell to team mates retiring, will play unless injured/ill), Martin or Morton, probably Morton another running player.

How do you get 50% each when there is an odd number of votes?

They will keep it going. They will just have to think of some new ideas.

Good to see that Demonlanders are acknowledging these two great servants of the MFC. It has become a trend to knock players when they are past it and we are all guilty of it. It is very easy to say on a site like this " get rid of the bloke", when we are talking about peoples lives. Both of these men were great players for the club and will go down in history as among our finest. Yze at his best was a great player and I was always happy that Carlton took Camporeale and left us Yze. He played many great games for the MFC. White carried our rucks for years and must have a sore back from the load. If not for the white line in the centre he would be still playing good footy. Like Yze a great player for the MFC. I wish them both well with their new clubs or in retirement and thank them for their contribution.

Confirmed in Herald Sun.

He turned 22 in July and is 186cms and 87K's.

Tim Watson said this morning that Brown would stay at the Lions and would soon sign a new contract. I don't think he was expressing an opinion but passing on something that he had heard. If true I can see the Pies making a big play for Kerr even though he comes with baggage and their baggage compartment is full to overflowing.

On those stats you would have to say that there is better out there and always the chance of a youngster in the draft. Many on this site don't rate Newton, but he would have more upside than Boyle if he can put on some muscle over summer.
