"cleanskin", not wearing any collingwood identifying paraphernalia. but rather showing Melbourne's identity.

I don't know the difference in market values,,, only the clubs would. But I do know that a top 10 pick would go a long way towards that end, as trade in part for De Goey. Now I know we all like Gus, but unfortunately he is a long term risk. We are not the complete list, that people have been talking about in recent seasons. And I know one pacy player is not the answer, just as Diamond Jim was not the answer on his lonesome,,, back in the 60's. We need to include about 3 quickish players into our lineup, IMO. Stretch might be one? Hunt at present, isn't. DShiel would go some way to help. Degoey would be fantastic. Gaff wouldn't, IMO. Buying in, would mean, we have to make some tough (ruthless) decisions with our list. We have to enter trade;,,, and yes trade some favourite players.

Simple; one is a goer, & the other is gone.

and hopefully get a little something back.

Brayshaw for top 10 pick. ... pick ontraded for De Goey ?

Do I hear Fitzroy street, dc

Bloody curveballs hey, always had trouble withem. Perty, one of my favourite players, back in the day.

I disagree on Garlett this year. Hasn't deserved it. You have to earn it,,, by doing the things 'the coaches' and 'the team' want/need. Not watt 'you', want to do only. Watt was quick as well, like a fox, unfortunately. But not so much a 'team' man. just one of the' buoys'. floated around waiting. 'watt of the wisp'. We want pace, with 'attitude',,, or 'brute', see Danger. 'will of the wisp', not so much. I guess that's why we got Spargo, and Baker, both have 'tude'. But both not what i'm talking about. 'De Goey will be hotter property, and I am thinking he's skills are a better investment, than Gaff's gut run. .

And all of them were here at a time, 'when',,, and now we need those memories, out of the building. Jones aside, as he is not one to be lead astray; but is a leader. rarity.

time: churn the list.

I don't m'nd that idea 'BD'. Junes Big Freeze, on Queens Bi'day.

Why do you say, 'instead of teaching him'? Don't you reckon we've been trying to get him to use the ball better since last season ? The coaches of course, would have been working on that with him. And so we have worked hard on getting ur half back sorted so we use the ball better coming out of defence. We have been much better at this, in 2018. But sadly Hunt has not been able to capture his best form, from the wing. Our depth has miraculously improved from defence, since we recruited Lever, and others last year.

that's the spirits buck_nekk. I think that Monday's game result won't effect us one way or the other, come September. Except the next few weeks we might be a bit sharper. The Lever loss has shaken us a bit, Re our goal to goal line. But in the long run, it will make us stronger, when we turn over another find.

I already have FAR more respect for Fritz than I ever have had for watts. Apart from Watts's first 3 seasons. He just got worse as he matured.

And guess who could have played on him. Lever action. Now we'll have to rely on Joel ? I guess. We're all half right, you bloody lefty, you you you you.

The boys played tired... didn't come out to play, on Monday. Nothing you can do about that, just as Don Pyke couldn't with his crew, up in the Alice. The players will collectively have a let down, from time to time. As we continue to mature, these will hopefully get less and less frequent.

bloody Misson ! Always leaves us misson our good players.

Yeah, we've got NO control of it, at all. watt we need a is a nice easy slope, to glide in belly first. heres one from 64.

NoN committed, 'self' they're trying to sharpen him up for our game.

We can do it, IF we want to. Mind you it doesn't have to be DeGoey, but he has that x factor. Whitfield, Kelly, and no doubt others can do it. But do they carry X factor.

As I said I like Gaff... but with our dwindling resources in the salary cap, this deecision is Crucial, to get it right. We are very one geared. We are very much a power geared side,,, and i want us to add an extra dimension to our run and carry. Pace, breaks big games open.

So you think Gaff is quick enough, to bring us what we lack in the midfield. ... which I think is midfield speed and agility..

I do not think Petracca will ever be a fast Mid. I see Petraca as more a power mid, power medium-forward. But not so, agile and quick. I sense DeGoey is quick by foot, and his footy mind.
