whatwhat say what

hore had a very strong season in the vfl in between stints at the mfc maybe we're the problem

with the majority of the draft always coming from victoria, i do wonder how much covid years of 2021-22 in particular had an adverse effect on the last few draft classes this year's crop would have all been 14-16 in those key years...and they barely played in that time period due to the global pandemic pretty crucial time to miss out on development

js29 went very well as a former basketball cat b rookie convert in fact, i'd say we've missed him up forward in the last two seasons very good mark, very good shot for goal

it's a terrible idea only a matter of time til it comes in

this our fourth former bball cat b player?

Love that the ch 9 footy show is saying we should trade Trac and baggers should trade Cripps Appalling show devoid from any sense of reality

That’s been a decade, if not more, in the planning

Eh? He’s signed a two year deal to take him through to free agency; Wanganeen-Milera likely to do the same Bergman’s port pay packet will likely be top ten in the club; as it should be, as that’s what he is while NWM should see him be the aints best paid player, right until TDK takes him over

every player at the moment becomes 'one of the best paid players in the competition' the minute they sign a new contract such is the nature of the current salary cap boom

what's the difference between 'being gifted games' and 'given opportunity at the highest level'? when he was fit at the end of last season he looked ready to step up to the afl he will learn a lot more playing at afl level than vfl, particularly if he continues to play in 'starvation corner' as a half-forward in the afl as opposed to as a midfielder in the vfl i'd personally be keeping him in for the remainder of the year unless his attitude completely drops away, which would seem to be less likely as he seems to revel in participation if not performance

where he would succeed where richardson has failed is as a media performer kenny is a natural in that regard; he has them eating out of his hand on a regular basis

i like the idea of ceilings and floors, if you use the examples and following that have been outlined in this thread we're looking at...from an mfc perspective: ceiling: jake melksham floor: luke tapscott from another club and players with a similar body shape and attitude perspective, i'd say gc17 might have a couple of decent comparisons... ceiling: bailey humphrey floor: braydon fiorini

We have hit the draft hard since the premiership with 5 first rounders in 3 drafts If the comparisons hold true (Langford = Bontempelli and Lindsay = Sidebottom) then we are laughing Windsor’s obvious comp is Max Holmes; unsure about Tholstrup Sadly el jefe makes Weed look like a world beater; we really need him to step up Without a first rounder this year and the quality of the draft under serious question, it will be interesting to see how the team continues to develop

As yet he looks like has a fantastic attitude but his skills and application of said are hard to judge, because he doesn’t win enough of his own football nor impact contests Needs a clean run of health for a preseason

i don't disagree that the horse trading of 2nd rounders to move around / up the first round draft board has felt unnecessary, but - other than the pick we gave for mcadam - we gave up little for this clutch of players that you highlighted: Hunter - traded for pick 50 (tom anastasopoulos - delisted) Dunstan - delisted free agent McAdam - traded for pick 31 (james barrat - yet to debut) Billings - traded for pick 49 (hugh boxshall - 4 games) Harry Sharp and 2025 3rd round (tied to the bears) - traded for 2024 pick 49 (not used) and 2025 3rd round (tied to the peptides) Tom Fullarton - traded for pick 47 (not used) Tom Campbell - delisted free agent Josh Schache - traded for pick 68 (not used)
