  1. I don't think Rachele is as bad defensively as some are making out, but the forward pressure question is different depending on the game style being played. With a forward half territory game, inside 50 tackles are essential. But if we look to go a little quicker (think 2018 style corridor footy), hopefully we capitalise on inside 50s and convert them before the ball has a chance to ping out.
  2. I find the idea of a medal strange when we already have the cup and the Norm Smith medal. Isn't the cup enough for the captain? They get to hold it up first with the coach. The most special moment every season.
  3. Thanks Kate.
  4. I agree, I prefer a quiet president that works quietly and fastidiously in the background, but as you say, it's very quiet in the background!
  5. Wowee, not a good sign. So many of our MCC supporters are hopeless. (and I am one, so have to put up with their fair weather supporting, which manifests with them constantly asking who player number x is when they jump back on the bandwagon)
  6. We'll have old mate Whitey instead.
  7. It could also be that he went to Caulfield Grammar. There were quite a few of us back in my day.
  8. I'd happily give up our future first for Rachele. He is a gun. ANB + F1 for Rachele, and maybe a future pick or two so we're loaded up next year for Ah-Mu.
  9. Sorry, what does this mean?
  10. Me too. Has a natural instinct for goal that only Kozzy and Fritta have in our forwardline.
  11. This should have been their primary focus all along. Peter Lawrence is not disrupting that. Their inability to get the base done rests at their own feet. Stability is good, a closed shop is not.
  12. It's the fact you could give him the off season to work on those things, not drop him for the last game. I agree it's doubtful they'd entertain trading him, but I think it's worth asking the question if we believe he is in the top 2 or 3 targets we have and can make it work within our TPP. I wouldn't want him being paid more than Kozzy for example. But you do sometimes have to pay a premium to lure a player away. I'd just hope the lure of Melbourne (the city) is enough, and playing in a better team.
  13. Really? Old Time Demon for sure. Nice bit of sexism. She's a good reporter that writes some things that make Melbourne supporters annoyed from time to time. Her gender is irrelevant.
  14. I think if we could land an x factor forward *and* an elite young mid that would be a brilliant off season. We might even be able to land that x factor forward in the draft. Maybe someone like Reid or Cotton. They're not of the forward class of Rachele, but they could provide something inside 50 until they move into the midfield.
  15. One of my favourite goals. That and Farmer's one out at Waverley.
  16. He was a pick 6 and has kicked 70 goals in 56 games. Will only get better. Not sure if he passes the no DH policy, but back ourselves to keep his feet on the ground.
  17. Well, we should have had at least two in that team with Mac and LJ.
  18. Could we get Rachele involved in a deal for Nibbler? I'd be willing to give up a future first for him. Kozzy, Rachele, Trac and Fritta is a box office forward half.
  19. I'm no longer interested in Waterman. If we want an experienced body I'd prefer Walker or Wright. But JVR, Turner and Petty/Jefferson in 2025 works for me. Let's spend TPP on luring a good mid or an x factor forward. TBH, Rachele fits the bill of the latter.
  20. Except IMV and probably many, we can offer a better look at success in the short term than North. I doubt they'll play a final while Parker is still on the parker.
  21. Do elevations to the senior list have to come with a minimum contract length? Or could we merely offer Melksham a further year, but on the senior list? AMW should definitely be elevated, so agree there, I could get behind being elevated, but think Melksham is the stronger candidate and more likely to play.
  22. Get in his ear then mate.
  23. I don't believe I ever said that.
  24. Where did I say Trac needed to say anything? He has a management team. Just like Kozzy. They could have fizzled it. They didn't.
  25. All he had to do was get his management to act exactly as Peter Rhode did on behalf of Kozzy yesterday. "Melbourne has been assured by Kysaiah Pickett's management that he is content at the Demons despite continual approaches from clubs..." NewsCorp. Then it becomes a non story. But that didn't happen. Instead the club was dragged through the mud. Glad his management said no and he's working to rebuild relationships and the club is looking to get better too. I hope he stays, playing it through the media was not the right strategy.
