How much will Melbourne improve in 2020??
Teams that perform badly donāt provide āopportunities for the new entrantsā. The new entrants just win enough games to make the finals. It is easier these days for the ānew entrantsā as well because the draw is designed so no finalists from the previous year play each other more often.

How much will Melbourne improve in 2020??
Iām as excited about Kozzi as anyone but donāt be surprised if it is Chandler or Bedford that are providing the manic pressure in our forward line. Donāt forget Chandler had 5 tackles on debut before getting injured. Jordan will be pushing for midfield selection too so competition for spots will be greater than it was in 2018 when we finished 4th.

How much will Melbourne improve in 2020??
I never understand this line of thinking, if we win enough games we will make the 8. The other 7 teams that win enough games will also make the 8. Picking which team(s) will drop out of the 8 has no bearing on us making it.

Core players / top 4 in the best 22? (merged thread)
Expect one or more of Petty, Jordan, Chandler or Bedford to be core players by finals time. They are all coming through together and are setting the bar higher that previous recruits in the same age bracket.

Injury List 2020
It wasn't one of my better posts. I was trying to say the injury list / rehab group isn't as concerning as last year. Not just that the numbers are less but the importance of the players to our list missing sessions isn't the same either. Agree with the posters saying Tomlinson and AVB are in our best 22. Weid needs to prove himself this year. I bumped into him grandfinal night and he said his hips which have troubled him are "cherry ripe". He also looks broader and bigger in the training photos. I'm not sold but the stage is set for him to prove me wrong this season.

Injury List 2020
I love Jones and he is a warrior for this club but itās refreshishing to see not a single player in our best 22 on that list. Having said that Petty will be come finals.

The Vault (Part 1)
Iāve just heard that Petty, Chandler and Jordan are doing everything right off the field. No stone unturned. Jordanās kicking skills and endurance could see him slot into our midfield nicely. With the depth we have next year iām guessing if he forces his way into the side itās because he is damaging by foot.

Demonland Podcast featuring Jason Taylor TONIGHT (5/12) @ 8:30pm
He keeps his cards close to his chest but I sensed he is a lot more excited about Deakin Smith than Kobe Farmer or the young White boy.

As someone not quite 40 I was lucky enough to see Alan Johnson. A child of the 80ās I had his number on my back not Robbie Flower.

Nearest the Pin
Iāve heard we rate both Pickett and Weightman but if both available would take Pickett.

Nearest the Pin
3 Jackson (I donāt want but gotta back them in) live trade because we want Pickett and can get him slightly later whilst improving our next pick. Weightman

TRAINING: Wednesday 20th November 2019
I seem to recall reading a while ago the type of surgery Oliver had on his shoulders last year made them pretty much bomb proof and almost impossible to re-injure in same way again.
