whatwhat say what

Good point His numbers are similar to Morton Two fat ladies - pick 88 - should get it done?

so so far the retirements, delistings, next gen academy selection, plus trade rumour mill has it as... OUT: Balic, Vince, Bugg, McKenna, King. Pedersen, Filopovic (rookie), Kent (to St. Kilda), Hogan (to Fremantle) IN: Preuss, May, Kade Kolodjashnij, Bedford (likely to cost our first current pick) with four short on the list, i'd like to think we're getting two high end picks PLUS may for hogan, but sadly think it's less rather than more likely plus there's the standard rumour that tyson is on the chopping block, avb and jkh are still yet to be signed as far as i am aware, but presuming they stay and we don't add another experienced player to that list, here's a rough go at best squad for round 1 next year, up against the reigning premiers collingwood on a friday night at the g, with thankfully no fitness concerns... B: Jetta - May - Lever HB: Salem - O Mac - Hibberd ?: Viney - Brayshaw - KK HF: Petracca - T Mac - ANB F: Preuss - Weideman - Melksham Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes I/c: Jones - Spargo - vandenBerg - Fritsch Emerg: Lewis - Frost - Hannan - J Smith Funny that Joel Smith is borderline to get an emergency spot (choice of him or Hunt), in my ideal world, when we most recently played an preliminary final - a change to the side that i completely understood from a match-up point at the time...even if Smith did end up playing forward at stages

I say not

it is absurd that they are 'tradeable'

worth about a second round...in points if we're flagging this far out that we're keen we'll get it done, and gc17 will bank the points / use whatever we trade them for spare change

For a player who hasn’t played a minute of AFL football in over a year? Yeah....nah.......

Only if it’s an ‘unbelievable’ deal for MFC according to my rumour mill

And I struggle to see how May improves that i understand that GC17’s midfield outs zero defensive pressure on the ball carrier, leaving him exposed, but he has regularly had bags of goals kicked on him throughout his career He’s not quick on the lead and he’s not able to battle the high kicks

yes...undersized for a modern key defender the likes of harris andrews are the prototype - extrezzo tall but agile, just like the key forwards they need to match up on it's part of why sydney are so keen to get darcy moore in, as he has the height and the nous to play that role

wants $1.2m a year for five years overrated at that price

May is not a gorilla; he’s undersized for a modern key defender

i'm thinking more historically, of course, with the likes of farmer, that traitorous so-and-so scott thompson, etc. stretch and viney are father-sons, and the latter is basically a vic boy - only lived in sa for, what, three years?

wouldn't go near sa or wa boys based upon our history of holding onto them that's IF a hogan trade happens

tyson and kent for billings

he was a crows supporter growing up, so i don't believe that for a second where?

or they might get jimmy toumpas and shane valenti... look, the likelihood is that the carlton access to shane mcadam will go to adelaide along with their second round pick to prise out mcgovern gc17 will pick grigg, who gets another go at an afl career

he couldn't do that as he's not a free agent next year

Got the absolute most out of himself as a player Kudos to him.. the battle cry of ‘Pedo power!!’ Will be missed

I thought this thread was going to be about how t was disappointing to finish fourth but hey, at least we’re not St Kilda! They and we have been paired together since 2011 or so in terms of re-build We’ve now finished higher on the ladder than them in consecutive years I would much rather be an MFC supporter than an Aints one at the moment

amazing that jack viney finished top 10 when he played less than half the games this year the surprise to me is that jones was so high up

croad they traded alongside pick 10 to land pick 1 frawley and franklin left as free agents

nah, it's just speculation, that's all

denham seems to report EVERY YEAR that hogan is leaving you don't need to read it @Superunknown it's just all speculation with lots of ifs, maybes, and perhaps no actual quotes other than jesse saying 'i'm happy at the dees' from when he signed in october, 2016

might as well chuck in oliver and viney i want those magic beans, dagnabbit

garlett is under contract, so it's not as simple as delisting him
