Seems like a real complex one. Did we tell him he would be cut and this forced the decision? A series of things in such a short space of time has led to this. Glad he gave it a crack and very much hope he gets his life on track.

This is such a good post! Cheers!

Would have loved him even a couple of years ago but it's simply a no now.

I literally came across this last night I couldn't get over the quality of some of the footage. As a kid all I had was those 60 seconds of black and white newsreel footage of the 64 grand final to go by for past MFC glory but this stuff is a beauty!

That's fair enough but it scares you a bit about the region we'd need to pay to possibly keep him.

Yeah saw the $700-800K as well, eep...

The one player we may need the most but also the one player Essendon should not be parting with, even more so than Daniher in my opinion.

What does this measure? Runs a player makes over a certain distance? Would need to know more but that is still interesting. I agree speed of ball movement and decision making are the key things required over pure leg speed but we can't rule it out completely as if it's not important at all. Spreading and setting up a zone when we don't have the ball is a crucial part of the game plan so speed is still handy.

Yep. We went on and on about how bad the umpiring was and at times it was terrible but our discipline was shocking as well at crucial points.

Absolutely stoked for Trac and yes the sky is the limit. He's developed the right habits and hopefully will be raring to go again even better next year.

Titans, Rams, Bucs. This week stinks for tipping but there's some real fun games.

Not too fussed about the team in general. Might as well get TV week to do the voting in future, will yield the same result.

Can't see him being more than a forward pocket/high half forward, just can't see him running out a game on a wing.

Good question! Lean towards Hogan because if he's not kicking bags he can still run and get up the ground but you do worry about those injuries.

No no no no no

Sounds exciting! Where do we sign?

Well done Trac! Hope there's many more to come. Well done to Max as well, bit lucky to get in but I'm more encouraged in the fact that he's become a money in the bank guy that judges probably think of first. It happens.

Here's hoping JV7, here's hoping...

Didn't watch the B&F for this reason, obviously they have to say those things but I didn't need to hear it right now. I am happy reading what Max said and hopefully there are some changes.

Oh yeah of course, can only go on a year by year basis really. At very least regular finals should keep a list together, 2021 make or break.

I think if the club is stagnating like ours is right now then it's understandable there will be some unrest. Doesn't necessarily mean they will leave though.

That's what I'm feeling as well TU, 4th in the division with possibly a winning record. The injuries hurt but the division is stacked as well.

Might be all they need him for Gorg. Also it was a small thing but I liked seeing him on the sidelines giving Aiyuk some 1-1 mentoring.

It's a move made out of desperation more than anything I think. The big plus is he knows the offense and can walk right in but he's really deteriorated physically, Belichick cutting him 11 months after trading for him says a lot. Hopefully can make a few plays but I wouldn't be relying on him too much at this point.
