Adam The God

Also, his poor kicking is being overplayed. He won't improve our ball use, but he's no worse than our current mids.

Haha, I see you've already backflipped on this within the one thread, but just letting you know I'll be watching your next best 22 to see if you've managed to put in the guy who makes no sense. 😉

I've watched him enough. He'll be a good soldier when required.

What do you mean no room to make up ground? I swear someone posts the equivalent of this every year. "I don't like this! What will we do next year?" We'll do what we do every year. We'll trade our future first. And then some Demonlander will come on here again and worry how we're going to get it done again the next year.

Yeah, we're trying our usual move of trading out our future first rounder to get back into the current year's first round. I wonder if we'll try and include a player there or maybe the future first and this year's first pick.

From the AFL site: Among the other clubs to come forward for the Suns' pick 19, which they were officially granted last week as part of the AFL's concession package, is Melbourne. The 2021 premiers' first pick for this year's draft is No.33 but the Demons are interested in grabbing the Suns' pick 19 in a deal that would require Melbourne to offload its future first-round pick. The Demons' have shown their strategy at moving up the draft board in recent years and last year traded their future-first selection to ensure they had two first-round picks at the 2020 intake, which saw them land premiership player Jake Bowey and Bailey Laurie. It would be a boon for the Demons to get up the board, with the Suns actively moving the selections due to their strong list position. Gold Coast has also already secured extra second, third and fourth-round picks for next year's draft as part of their day one deal with Collingwood.

That's a pretty good one, St Kilda, but your list management has been pretty ordinary, so it might be a good idea to get some help from somewhere.

I reckon we'll try and trade into the first round with our future first again. Unless JT thinks we might be able to land two or three good players in that 2nd and 3rd round.

I feel like we've been here before. Melbourne list management team identify a handy acquisition and some Demonlanders [censored] the bed. We have a list management appreciation thread FFS. At what point do people trust the club? This is a smart piece of list management. If it doesn't eventuate then we look for other ways to add depth. If it does, we've got a hardened back up who can win the footy and keep competition for places strong.

I wondered whether we might sniff around there. Despite our elite midfield talent, we need more midfield depth.

How ordinary are the delisted senior players across the competition? I'm glad we won the flag and don't require a lot of pieces to go again. There's not a great deal on the market.

You can watch these games on Kayo any time you want. But I am still get lured into watching some of it.

Despite my mates [censored] on me for years about my football team, I'm taking the high road and not really talking footy. If they want to though, I'm happy to talk about it. Demonland is where I'm happy to talk all things MFC. I'll probably be lippy on game days next year though.

Close.

Haha, I like your posts mate.

And needed a kick after the siren to beat the Dogs. I think they make the 8 next year, but it'll be more like their 2018 year, where they're no real threat to anyone.

Bailey Smith is on like Mario Party and just get some Marvin Gaye on the radio...? Am I doing it right?

Yeah, a bloody brilliant run down. Dunstall really struggling. Like many Hawthorn people, he can barely hide his disdain.

Yep, IMV he's an elite KPD. If he'd been drafted in the top 10 of the draft, people would be talking about him a lot more.

I didn't even know Tim Lane was still commentating. I really enjoyed his commentary back in the Channel 10 days. I'd much prefer him to all of Channel 7, minus Daisy.

Hawthorn wasn't a loss. 😜

I had that thought too. Back to Essendon. Has it been long enough?

He's inside / outside. He spreads from the contest like Oliver and Petracca do. He's a freak. Thank you, Jason Taylor.

My son was born on the Monday before Round 1. Every game day he wore the MFC onesie. The day we played Adelaide he threw up on himself and we had to change him. The day we played Collingwood he [censored] on himself and we had to change him. The night we got beaten by the Bulldogs he threw up on himself. I can't explain the GWS loss. 😂

He is?
