That's not what I meant. The MFC does not value the MCC relationship highly enough IMO. MCC are a major backer and source of (potential co) finance. That is a relationship to be nurtured and strengthened. Perhaps, Steven Smith can help with that down the line...

I'd love to try Caleb at half back too. In a quarterback role.

I'm the same. I'm a MFC/MCC member and treat my dual membership as a donation to the club. Some of our commercial team don't value it, is what I was getting at.

Not sure on the size of the grant, but the grants come from the MCC Foundation and are rolled over each year. I've posted this before but we could be valuing the MCC relationship more than we do.

Thanks mate. Really excited about what this means for Windsor.

I'll be very happy with Teague, Bassett and Chaplin as line coaches, and if necessary, Jonesy as a development coach or cultural mentor.

Lindsay seems a prototype Jack Billings to me and we've already got one of him. Still, JT we trust.

I'd be fine with Smillie at 9 if we're happy with him, but I'd hope we go with Smith, Lalor or Langford if one slips to us at 5. I hope we're thinking two mids and not a mid and a tall. That said, Tauru plays a little like Heeney to me, so could be a hybrid.

Nah.

Old mate Adam needs to stay on top of these pick trades.

We already traded our future 3rd to Adelaide.

If it's anything like the coaching in the APS schools, it's mostly a tokenistic role and the line coaches do all the coaching...

If Port Adelaide aren't convinced 'two year contract extension Zak Butters' is going to commit long term and could get two first rounders for him, would they do the deal? I think they would. And so would we.

Agree with all of this, though I think we'd be wanting to get all of their salary off our books if Trac and Clarry did ask for a trade next year. In that case, it's less likely we get two first round picks. I'd suspect we'll go hard for an FA next year too. If we can convince them, we use the rising cap space due to the CBA to fit them in or we have plenty of cap space minus Clarry, Trac or both.

And then flip 32 and 34 for a pick inside 30.

I wonder if there's a way to package later picks to get another top 30 pick between 25 and 30?

Tim Lamb strikes again. Demonland nuffies 0, Lamb 1. 🤦

Which I was for at the time. I got Max completely wrong. Spencer was servicable IMV.

Wasn't he only shopped last week?

So he was keen to go before we allegedly shopped him?

Amazing.

Love Jake Lever. 👏👏

Neither player was ready. That was clear in how they would fade in and out of games at VFL level. A recipe for disaster at AFL level...

I do. Keep them hungry.

As others have said, never heard anything but complimentary words said about Mahoney. That's not to say that FTB is wrong, but I trust PJ. I'd argue the best administrator we've ever had. Maybe FTB heard it from sources that Mahoney held to account? We certainly don't have that sort of discipline anymore within our FD.
