I'd be seriously considering all three. We need runners like this on our list. It's absolutely what we've lacked and it's what's transformed an ordinary St Kilda into a finals side.

I like Mitch and that goal he kicked against Geelong in the final will live long in the memory. I think we need to renew through our half forward-wing line on our list though. If the Doggies are keen, good luck to all involved.

Reading the tea leaves, mate.

I think Melksham has to play half back as @Patches O’houlihan has suggested. Use his kicking as a weapon off half back.

I'd play Fritsch high half forward and wing, but I can also see the half back argument.

Trump is a symptom of the Left's surrender to neoliberalism. Just as the Five Star Movement in Italy and the populist Left Front in France are symptoms of the Left's tacit implementation of neoliberal economic reform throughout the 1960s-1980s (Denis Healey, Bill Hayden, Francois Mitterrand, Jacques Delors, Bob Hawke and Paul Keating for starters). The EU is a neoliberal disaster created (mostly) by neoliberals on the Left. I disagree with Trump's jingoistic rhetoric and everything about him personally, but I think the rest can learn from the increased domestic, somewhat isolationist policy pivot. Globalisation is inherently neoliberal, concerned with the free flow of big business capital across borders, making our countries, environment and markets increasingly more unstable. As Minsky said (the guy who predicted the GFC), stability breeds instability. Trump's rhetoric is straight from the dictator playbook and America will be in trouble if he gets reelected, but if Biden gets in and maintains the status quo, things will only get worse internally.

He needs to get stronger again. He showed signs this year of being able to compete in the air against bigger bodies, but he still double-grabs too much for my liking. If McDonald is leaving and Brown is coming in, Weideman needs to become stronger in the air. I'd be playing him up the ground and keeping Brown deeper.

He's also the sort of player they have a bit of.

I actually think Brown nominating Melbourne makes McDonald seem more appealing to other clubs, particularly if those other clubs see Tom as a defensive option.

I couldn't care less about what Collingwood supporters try to say on BigFooty. If he comes cheaply, he'd be a nice addition to our outside run.

I'd be happy with pick 78 if we didn't have to pay any of the remaining contract.

It seems clear to me that we've agreed in principle with Brown and his management, and that's why we're now being open about trading McDonald again. I'd expect Brown to announce us as his preferred destination in the coming days.

I never said Brown was a great player, but he's a very good player at his best. And a KPF. Mihocek is a third tall at best, but he's ultimately a mid-sized forward. We have enough of those.

Handy player, but not for our needs.

Reckon we were playing games there.

Weideman is not a great mark at this stage. He often two grabs contested marks. North have stuffed this up and now his trade value has diminished to our benefit. How does a 60+ goal a year forward not suit our game style? This is another artificial barrier. Do people not want to succeed?

Let's wait and see, OD. Think you'll find we're a far better destination than Essendon.

Who does the HUN's Chief Football 'Writer' support again? ;)

We'll make do. All we need is a contest.

If we wanted to keep him, we'd be fighting a bit harder. We'll be fine without Preuss.

Why is that?

We have two AA mids under 25. We have Viney, Brayshaw and Harmes in support. We had a very strong defence. We need to improve our forwardline. A KPF that can kick a regular bag. A dangerous small to compliment Kozzie and we need run and carry with good ball use. Smith and Polec fit that bill. It's addressing needs. Not topping up.

What are you talking about? So we're overrating our list by trying to improve it? What would you prefer we did? Sit on our hands? Seriously. Ridiculous stuff.

Daniels, please. We'll want a player.

Haha, love Jennifer Lawrence.
