Blistering

But wasn't he living on a farm when recruited? If so, it's not like the Geelong players who suddenly find themselves farmers when recruited from other clubs?

Nathan Jones looked in reasonably good nick as well. I was thinking it might be worth rookie listing him but I understand we don’t have room.

Where was Max?

Are the women part of the review?

The good news is that Trade Radio now goes on a break for almost two weeks and doesn’t return until the Monday after the Grand Final!

That may be but his stats match up with some of the best at the carnival. Ben Camporeale Disposals: 26.8 Marks: 5.3 Tackles: 3.8 Clearances: 4.5 Metres Gained: 385.3

I'm relaxed and I know that he won't be traded and I'm not saying you're implying that. The problem is that Cornes, Morris and their cohorts are saying with a straight face that it would be the right thing for the club to do. That's what's controversial. PaulRB is right - it's more than controversial. It's an insult to the club and to us supporters.

Really? What you wrote was "To be honest I don't think what he's said is anything controversial." They were your exact words. Brown and the panel are nodding their heads in agreement and advocating that we give away our first round draft pick and Oliver to another club in order to get salary cap relief. It's one thing to be against giving players long and lucrative contracts but it's quite another to suggest that there's nothing controversial in not only giving up on a four time b & f but in doing so giving away your best draft pick as well. That's nonsensical, not commercial and not in any way resembling what a club with a good culture does with its champion players. I'm pretty sure that you miss the point if you claim that's not controversial and ... you've used up two.

So, after seeing vision of Clarrie and Goody after Saturday night's match, you're treating seriously the suggestion that we give away our first round draft pick and Oliver to another club in order to get salary cap relief? Spare me.

So Ben Camporeale makes All Australian but two “experts” don’t place him in their top 30 players. On another thread he’s been called the star player from SA. Something doesn’t add up.

Does anyone know if they still have a pre match function for MFC supporters on match days? I went to a game years ago and they had one at a golf club near the ground.

Matt Jefferson was a late withdrawal from the Casey team last Sunday. Some said it was due to illness and someone else said it was Covid? Shouldn't he be on this list as a "test" or "available"?

Well done to all contributors. I do have a question for @binman and that is, does he think that Melbourne's best football is better than that of Fremantle?

I’m expecting a track watcher to report that Max Gawn turned up, threw away both crutches and declared himself fit for Saturday night. Make it happen.

Def. not a wind up but rather, a real life situation. My son’s been given that role in his game this weekend and I’ve passed on your thoughts which agree with mine. Thanks.

Coach tells a mid sized player that his role this week is predominantly a between the arc high half forward. What does that involve and which player(s)’s game does that role resemble? Asking for a friend.

This is a somewhat scandalous thing to bring up on Demonland but there’s a thing called The Tom $cully Medal which is the Brownlow for runners. Our own Ed Langdon is comfortably leading the pack with 15 votes which bears witness to the fact that he’s back in town this year after a couple of seasons below his Olympian standards of our 2021 premiership year. Votes are awarded to the players with the most kilometres during each game on a 3-2-1 votes basis. I hope he wins so that we can start a campaign to rename it after Ed himself.

I know that we should take things one week at a time but I looked at the future and noticed that we have a nice run of games at the MCG coming up. Between now and Round 16 (28 June) when we play the Lions at the Gabba, all of our games take place at the MCG with the exception of the Eagles at Optus Stadium which is our second home ground and the Dockers at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs which is nominally our home ground. All games except one against the bottom side at home or at least neutral territory. Only concern is the game coming off another five day break against Carlton. It’s time to claim the G as our own again, starting with tomorrow night against the feuding Lions from Brizvegas.

Robbo says hello 👋

What is the significance of Kynan Brown being categorized as a Category B rookie? Also, we already have 2 Cat B rookies - is there a limit on their number?

6. Hore 5. Purcell 4. Paxman 3. West 2. Gillard 1. Hanks

Agreed - we shouldn’t be getting too far ahead of ourselves. As we’ve learned over the past two years, it’s not right to go the early crow.

How can you trade picks that are subject to future review?
