deserves everything and anything positive thing that this football club and the football world offers him now and in the future.
Has been the soul of this club for 5 years now.Will retire an absolute legend of the MFC, but geeze it would be nice to see him get to 300 and raise the premiership cup!

i struggle to see a role with him except now as a depth player if melksham/hibberd/jayden hunt go down.
shame, i had great hopes when he debuted against the suns and kicked that rippin' goal. -

Melksham and Hibberd both here. Trac showing no signs of those Bin Tangs. Stretch looks like he has been in the gym since last round and hasn't left there. Can't see Oliver anywhere but no other noticeable 1-4 year absentees without checking the list. TMac and Viney also here of those not required.
I actually saw Trac in Bali.
Had a Bali dart (ciggy) tucked behind his ear too. Bit of off season fun, so i wouldn't stress. -

I have one wish.
Can we have pre-season training reports without the sniping.
If you can't get there to post your own report, don't criticise those that do.
If you don't like the report ignore it and move on.
We have lots to look forward to so let's be positive.
This should not be wishful thinking.
and no mentioning the following forbidden cursed words:
will be elite

It's looking like we are done for changes and most likely will just take 2 draft picks.
Next year, depending on performance of course, could see a few older players leave/retire like Garland, HL, Pedo, Spencer, maybe Jeffy and even Bernie, bringing the average age down again.
To me they seem the group that will be looked at for the required list changes that need to be made to get us into a strong draft and to look at FA's and delisted players.
Ummm. Why the holy hell would we get rid of Jeff Garlett?!
He is 27 years old and kicked us 29 goals this year. Wasn't his best year but will be better for our inclusions and anothe year into the young blokes.

J. Lewis features in quite a few of them.
Glad he plays for us now.

I believe Geelong does not have access to Simmonds in the first 8 rounds due to the new stand
Fine by me! I live in geelong but I'd prefer to play them in Melbourne.
The game last year was depressing.

Very happy with the Dees draw.
Only get one Friday night game, but get 3 Saturday nights, a queens birthday and Anzac Day eve.
Play the firs 7 games in Melbourne, the last 3 in Melbourne. Have no etihad stadium home games. Only play two of last years top 8 sides twice, and one of them is north Melbourne.
We also randomly play Geelong at etihad stadium and it's THEIR home game.
Very good chance of us winning a bunch of games early in the season putting us in good stead for a crack at making finals.

his experience and knowledge he handed down was valuable. Could very much go into a coaching/support role, but i think he is destined for lawyer ville.
but sadly, at the end of the day if you are a key forward who can't take a mark that's not a chest mark, you will struggle. -

I probably agree with Tyson being too slow for the wing but hard not to have him in the starting side , and I think Oliver is in for a Big Big year in 2017.
i think Tysons work around the packs (besides getting caught), is pretty good. ironically he reminds me of a young jordan lewis.
oliver is just a beast. let's pray for an injury free off season!-

I think there will be some real presure on the small forwards and I think Garlett, Kent and JKH will be fighting over the one spot in the 22. Stretch and Salem also would be hoping for uninterupted pre seasons to try and command first crack at a spot. For what its worth I will go with:
Jetta Frost Hibbard
Vince T Mac Hunt
Brayshaw Oliver Tyson
Petracca Hogan Lewis
Kent Weiderman Watts
Gawn Jones Viney
O,Mcdonald , Salem , Melksham , Pederson(?)
Don't mind it, but Tyson is too slow on a wing, and weidemen won't start full forward. still needs to get much bigger. if he plays it'll be on the bench or forward pocket. the pedo will be our FF until he hits puberty.

good. Now for Rockliff and Hibberd...hehe

Pickers on the radio at the moment sounding very coy, and saying the dialogue is very much open between the clubs, and MFC would be looking at a 2-3 year contract for Lewis if it happened.

You all doubted equalisation, it's working.
Hawks bring in some young guns, and sprinkle their premiership pensioners around the league...
On a serious note, I hope it's true. Too much is up to Viney and Jones. Tyson is inconsistent. Adding Lewis shares the load and allows the kids more time to develop properly rather than be relied upon too early.
I doubt it'll happen, but it'll be nice if it does.
It's nice to be considered/chosen rather than laughed and snorted at.
Been a while since that happened...-

I have to confess that I'm overcome with boredom over the 2016 trade period.
It's not just that Melbourne seems to be predominantly sidelined because of a lack of currency to trade with but also because most of the mooted trade deals give the appearance of having been set up a fair way back in time.
Did anyone doubt that Jaeger O'Meara would nominate Hawthorn or Caleb Marchbank would announce his preference for Carlton? Anyone surprised that Travis Cloke is off to the Doggies? In all three cases, the rumours that these players were going to those clubs have been circulating for some time.
There's nothing particularly interesting about this time of year. I'm already over this trade period.
it goes for a week too long.
Keep it to one week and let it be exciting as people have to scramble to make deals.
Two weeks just draws out the process. -
The big thing this kid has it that he attacks the footy hard, isn't afraid to fly into packs, can kick and can take a grab.
All of this will stick properly once he has bulked up so he isn't shoved out of the way.

LIGHT BULB JUST WENT OFF
Melbourne Receive: Pick 30 , Pick 52
Melbourne Lose: Lynden Dunn , Pick 46
Brisbane Receive: Lynden Dunn , pick 8
Brisbane Lose: Pearce Hanley, pick 30
Hawthorn Receive: Jaeger, O Meara
Hawthorn Lose: Pick 14, pick 52, Kaiden Brand, Will Langford
Gold Coast Receive: Pearce Hanley, Kaiden Brand, Pick 14, pick 46, Will Langford,
Seems like all 4 clubs would agree to that
was going to give GCS pick 21 and 22 to Brizzy instead of 8 but pick 8 is more valuable to Brisbane because 21 and 22 give GCS more points for Bowes.
THEN:
Melbourne Receive: Michael Hibberd
Melbourne Lose: 2017 2nd rounder, pick 52 (possibly add 2017 1st if they don't budge)
Essendon Receive ; Melbourne 2017 2nd rounder, pick 52
Essendon Lose: Michael Hibberd
THEN:
Melbourne Receive: Pick 15
Melbourne Lose: Pick 28 and Pick 30
GWS Receive : Pick 28 and Pick 30
GWS Lose: Pick 15Gws gain 200 points for their academy guns
OVERALL TRADE PERIOD
Melbourne Receive: Michael Hibberd, Pick 15
Melbourne Lose: Pick 26, Pick 46, 2017 2nd rounder
Not bad?
that would be a great outcome for us.
