If we were able to also draft a fully fit Bytel as well, that would definitely help our midfield, would be happy with Bailey Williams with our second pick as well.

Does anyone think we might package up picks 23 & 28 for an early-mid teens pick during tomorrow nights draft?

This is what i don't get with these NIMBY's. They hide behind their mantra of protecting the local parkland, yet low and behold, there is this massive structure (MCG) smack bang in the middle of it. How space for another open oval would detract from Yarra Park is completely beyond me. If anything, it would smarten the place up, providing an accessible oval for local residents to use outside of training times. I guess our fall back position could be just training on the G ?

I rate Corey a fair bit higher than Josh.

Legends indeed WJ. The McGannon's association with FCFNC goes back many a generation (too bad they are all Hawks supporters)

you've got to learn to walk before you can run

If we were to draft Matt McGannon with one of our late draft picks, i'd just about blow an O-ring!!!!!

I doubt Clarry will be doing too much, given his double shoulder op over the off-season.

Nope, nope, nope. Teams when entering the league knew full well that AFL Grand Finals are played at the MCG, shouldn't have entered if they don't like it. Beside it's a bloody Grand Final. No matter where or when, teams should be ready to play, it is for the ultimate prize, so there needs no extra motivation to play. Should interstate stadiums get to 100,000+ capacity, and the highest team qualified for the GF is from said state, then so be it, but until then, the biggest game needs to be played in the biggest stadium.

Of course it isn't, football is. And that's quite alright for me!

why not, he seems to have turned into a pretty decent player!

Does pick swapping also happen on the Friday, or just the Thursday night?

I'm starting to really warm to the idea of drafting Bailey Williams with one of our first picks. With his athleticism and mobility, he could play as a tall forward who can more than adequately relief ruck and wouldn't be a liability when the ball hits the deck.

A bit hard for him to come back early considering he won’t be back until the new year given his post-season clean up surgery.

I'd like to see him back up last year first before calling him a gun

Yep, we were also meant to win the flag in 2007 as well. That turned out well.

Hi Ned.

apparently all of them Moon.

And yet clubs from both codes struggle to make a profit.

Should have picked him up all those years ago instead of Dom Barry.

Completely agree WTM. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, Phuckinara has been riding the 2004 coattails for way too long. Pelchen did it too, and like Pelchen, he will eventually drift into irrelevance (can't come quick enough). Even Pretenderghast picked out Gawn, which goes to show, it is just as much, if not more about developing that raw talent once they are in the door, than it is identifying it. Who knows how Gawn would have turned out if not for Paul Roos & Co.

I think he needs to simplify it myself. Clarry = Flag

Look at the MFC homepage and you'll notice that it only has Zurich as a co-principal partner. It appears we will be getting a new sponsor on-board, and with KLV saying that iSelect aren't renewing, maybe they were priced out of the market, which can only be a good thing $$ wise. If you build it they will come.

Will there be a post pre-preseason update prior to pre-season kicking off? I hope there will be!
