interesting that mcvee is only looking at a short-term deal

there's no reason to think that gawn won't play for as long as goldstein they're both aerobic beasts, which is part of the reason that they're so, so good in their dotage

northern franchise academies will never die

Takes the riskier kick and gets more of it Raw #s only tell part of the story I’d like him at the Dees but think it’s unlikely

bergman is like rivers but a far, far superior kick we are just one of a myriad of melbourne-based teams 'keeping tabs' on him according to tombstone; aints have been in the market for a long time

flagmantle supporters - dogga is worth more than pickett! mfc supporters - pickett is worth more than dogga! non-involved parties - who cares, just pass the popcorn and put peter bell on trade radio

prior to covid, my son was at prahran, a few years above oliver oliver was so blonde his hair was almost a shock of white - made spotting him zipping around in the 'zones' winning his own footy when he was playing 'up' age groups very easy to see

I mean, it’s inevitable If Kalani nominated us, then the twins wouldn’t be joining the gc17 academy as they’ll be earmarked to join MFC

What I think is informative is that they have NOT joined the gc17 academy I am hoping it’s because they expect to be residing in Melbourne in the next 15-20 or so years…

Paul Roos and Flagmantle supporter and host Poppy Penny - great name! - talked about this on abc afl daily He proffered straight swap as easy solution and she, unsurprisingly, thought this was unfair for the shockers

mcvee out of contract as a western oztrayan and rivers someone who wants to be a mid...

Now the q is for what?

ugle-hagan isn't coming to us

We got Windsor for the dog trade

straight swap, player for player first time since mitch clark - heritier lumumba - travis varcoe?

Neither he nor Aleer are good enough to be key defenders at gw$ - primarily as their two key pillars are two of the best in the competition at the moment

dingley are just nouveau riche mfc

waiting for the first 'we should have recruited darling' posts but i can't see one so consider this that

that was a brilliant watch tom green or ed richards have the mantle as the #1 bloodnut midfielder in the competition

this has been a brilliant watch

that's my preferred too

well, when it's 9 each...15-3 is a bit of a fizzer

puddy tatts vs gw$ is a cracking game

100% we traded for an experienced, multiple coleman medal chase tall forward, who helped us win a premiership but his body was broken by the time many other players of his era - lynch, cameron - are still up and about it ain't easy

recruiting lever, may, hibberd, melksham, was integral for that 2017-2023 time period of contention; not too dissimilar to the recruitment drive the filth and the puddy tatts have done from 2020-now we're clearly trying a more recruit-based model to building back up again, and i for one can't wait for a decade plus of good footy from at least three, hopefully four or five, of our six first round picks in that time period the point is there's no 'perfect model' for premiership success cats always top up and it keeps them competing and the filth are the filth - they're two of the most well resourced and professional clubs in the competition
