Father-son assured! Will be lucky to get a second round pick for him.

I have a theory that whenever Grimes plays well we have a whole played badly - he's not the player you want having oodles of possessions as he's simply not a good enough user of the ball. I maintain my dream trade scenario outlined above is still the dream...however unlikely it may be. Also, what's all this about Hogan being likely to request a trade at the end of this year or the next? Couldn't blame him, I would not want to play for the rabble that is the MFC either.

i certainly can't possibly believe that he'd get $500k from us or on the open market. he's a below average footballer playing in a below average side.

yep, i'm the same. why bother buying a real true dinks membership. armchair and set the attention span to 'ignore' as this team is too pathetic to bother with.

i want him gone. he won't help us get better.

Don't think I've ever left a game at quarter time. There's a first for everything!!

We are appalling.

We look shocking.

I love the idea of having three sons of guns on our list. Surely this one is worth a shot, given the way the other two are going about their business.

legislation needs to change for it to be possible i believe. turnball has already put it through to be passed before the afl and nrl grand finals so that they can be broadcast in hd, but it's unlikely to happen by the first week of october.

hope we get this guy.

i don't think enough is known about him yet. he's not delivered as much as i'd hoped he would when he joined us from the west.

What a shambles we must've been that a bloke who said he was pain all the time whilst running was never properly diagnosed. I'm hoping like hell these days are behind us. All the best to Trenners, he's going to need it. Feet seem to be the new knees - super hard to come back from.

Another young player who has previously been linked to us, out of contract at the end of the year, and yet to be offered a new one. probably a 'no' for mine as we don't need more half-back flankers whose skill is questionable.

Didn't he just sign a new deal at the Dockers?

what hodge did was one of the more deliberate dog acts i've seen. he's lucky wingard didn't suffer a severe injury. knowing the mrp, it'll be langford, dunstall and buckenara on the panel and he'll get off with a slap on the wrist.

ain't social change amazing?

Mackay is, like Redden, a player we were rumoured to have made a significant offer to a couple of years ago.

Have zero confidence in our players to deliver.

I think it more points to the lack of depth that we have around the ball. If Jones, Vince or Viney don't win it, we don't have anyone else to rotate through. Agreed we need skill, but we also need ball winners. Redden is a ball winner. If you can't see that he would immediately improve our side, then...well, clearly we have different ideas about areas we need to have clear improvement in. Mine would be: - ball winners - skill - run and carry - multidimensional tall options Redden would improve the first, Bennell for the middle two, plus Lynch and Tomlinson for the latter. If we could add all four of those players this offseason I'd be pleased.

We currently run: - 9th for contested possessions - 18th for centre clearances - 9th for stoppages - 14th for clearances The addition of Redden would - theoretically - assist the improvement of all of those.

One of the gaping holes on our list is winning contested ball...
