After the news from this morning I'll take what we know about our culture over others. Could be A LOT worse.

Hodge and other playing leaders are going to have to be careful about what they say as I imagine they will be seriously questioned about this is an official capacity. I would think the leaders in the playing group would be at least somewhat aware of living situations of new draftees. If the alleged coaching and development group has witheld the information of what they were instructing these families to do then that is another thing altogether and they have breached their trust as well.

Yep, I think we're all really struggling the comprehend it all. We probably aren't ready for it either as it goes well above and beyond anything really. Just when you think society has evolved we take a massive backward step.

Russell Jackson is no scrub either and does his research. Broke the story on the treatment of Robbie Muir during his St Kilda years.

Sickening

Exactly. Even if what was leaked isn't 100% to the millimetre it's not like some wind sack on Twitter saying it.

Good to know there are other whackos out there.

No smoke without fire, there's going to be some serious explaining to do and I don't see anyone getting out cleanly.

Nice one Chappy! No idea how they assess input of assistant coaches for an award like this but he's obviously done something right.

We're all deseparate for a contesting key forward. Why else would we be considering moving a great back forward permenantly based on 5 minutes of football 😛

It really amazes me how literal some clubs take that saying. Win at all costs, it is seriously just a game for christ's sake.

Poorthawn

Two coaches and a player development manager are the key figures in this story so it's not the silliest suggestion to say he might be questioned about what he knew about it.

Was just the tip of the iceberg really.

Just finished the article. I have never read anything like this before regarding a football club, not even close. If 20% of this is true none of the people mentioned should ever work in this sport again.

I'm going to be sad when you change your username Action Jackson 🙁

No-one wants to be a Ross Lyon! Well I should hope not. We've got the basis of a good game plan but I'd like to think some things are altered. Game plans aren't usually simple can't shouldn't be summed up in a sentence.

I care about getting him back to Perth but getting the absolute best deal possible. It's been a great thread people but I'm looking forward to it fading into the later pages.

Maybe keep this for official MFC delistings but there's plenty others for free agent/target talk.

I don't mind the idea of Liam Mcmahon as a bit of a project. Ideally it would be good to have a physical and strong forward in the wings but I find it strange that they cut him after 2 seasons. You really need at least 3 for a KPP to build the body. From the little I've seen his skills are easily above average for a big guy.

Why do people want to trade Spargo? Ridiculous.

I'd be happy if Bedford stays on but can see the reasoning for him moving. Clubs are going to be after guys on the fringe in our team now and into the future.

I heard Brisbane had the flu last week..

Hopefully Adem Yze isn't implicated in this?

Agree, one of the stupider ideas I've heard. It's like wanting to go to Mars when we have problems here.
