whatwhat say what

pure jealousy on their part that he's been part of a regular finals team for the last, what, five seasons? he has more finals experience than our entire leadership team COMBINED

i remember in grundy's year i wanted us to draft him at 4, but alas he slid and slid and he's now a $1m+ player and the, ahem, second best ruckman in the competition if jackson is as good as some pundits believe then he'll go higher than grundy's pick 18 or english's pick 19 i'd still prefer young and kemp / serong / ash, but could understand why they might go a mid-sized player and a tall at 3 and 8...that's even if we finish with 3 and 8 by the time our selections come around

and at a rumoured $1.5m over two seasons, he'd be crazy not to!

Keep Howe, no Oliver...I know who I prefer He was always going to the pies after getting on the cans with his childhood hero in Bali Took less money and was promised a role as a forward...was back in the magoos and then recast as a defender straight away Has become a much better, more mature player at the Pies, as he should as he has had his prime years there

One home (anzac eve) and one away (against the crows or someone like that)

huge opportunity round 1 is always a mystery and there's usually some surprise results

the delisted free agency period opens in three days due diligence happening directly before it opens? interesting...

his management team has been harder at work than sam murray's to claim there's interest in him i am not opposed to it at all - certainly prefer him on cheap coin for a season compared to jack martin's $1.6m over two - but i just have no faith that he'll ever get his body right if we are doing a medical that means we're either very close to making an offer, i would assume? then it's up to bennell the thought of a fit and firing harley revving up the flanks at the g is tantalising... B: Jetta - May - Hibberd HB: Salem - Lever - Harmes ? Langdon - Brayshaw - Tomlinson HF: Petracca - T Mac - Bennell HF: Fritsch - Weideman - Melksham Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney I/c: Jones - Hannan - Petty - one of our early picks Emerg: Preuss - O Mac - ANB - our other early pick

Wrong thread!

I asked a draft watcher today his thoughts on next year’s draft...he was...not complimentary Also said that he doesn’t believe a thing that is said in the media about Melbourne’s trade / draft plans as - since the regime change and Mahoney’s role change - “they don’t leak” He thinks we might trade pick 3 still but if we don’t then we’d be crazy not to pick Young

Terrible luck From #1 pick to out of the game with under 50 games His concussion symptoms sounded horrific

how many years has it been since he got through a season of football? we already have three injured for the entirety last year - four if you count kk we can't afford the risk of picking a player who is often injured when list spots are at a premium as we have four players from last year under contract who barely played, if at all pass

lovely wrap up on the kid it's funny watching kids play footy as they grow up - there's a girl who plays for my local footy club, who i've known since she was 5, who is just an out and out jet sadly i doubt we'll ever see her in aflw because she'll be playing for the opals and the wnba

He doesn’t want to be with us; move on

surely we could get two of @olisik's bug bears in the one draft - an inside mid (roberton? serong?) with pick 3 and a tall defender (fish mcasey) at pick 8??

which to me is an indication - along with already having bedford, chandler, anb, and others on our list - that all the talk we might be going for weightman with pick 8 might be just that; talk

Two of Twomey’s also-see picks don’t make any sense for us - first cos there’s little chance a ruckman will go top 5 in the draft, and - outside of Green - us picking an inside mid with our first pick similarly doesn’t make any sense

men bun? starting to sound like a silvio berlusconi party

just one short flight away* *if you drive to brisbane or alternatively fly from coolongatta to brisbane and then catch a connecting flight

darwin has never previously been zoned this is just a 3-year* gift to gc17 *let's see that 3-years be lobbied to be permanent

based on three minutes of highlights...mm hm, yes please

while we don't have a 'great' small forward we have a heap of options, particularly if you include the mid-sized likes of trac and milkshake gone young and kemp although i have zero idea tbh; just gimme two superstars please

it'd party hard

he's on the phone with jack martin's manager and can't take any calls right now...unless they're from jack martin
