Sam McClure has no idea. I think he’s drastically underestimating the quality of Jesse hogan. He could be just about anything. 

Hes clearly worth 2 first round picks. 

 

we should flood SEN with texts telling McClure he is a complete Dingbat.

5 for may would blow goats, but 11, 36 (our first pick) and sweeteners in a bundle deal (that includes KK)  is what we need to get done

Who said they want Keilty. But if he did and they did, it's a  yes from me.

Kelity is just an Idea, Key back for a key back

OK, so no to the Tyson part of the deal.

How about

So now, how about...

Neale to brisbane for 5

hogan to Freo for 5, 11

Kent to saints for pick 39

Kelity, 11, + 39 - for May and KK

or

11, 36 and 39 for May and KK

?? should get it done...

So now, how about...

Neale to brisbane for 5

hogan to Freo for 5, 11

Kent to saints for pick 39

Tyson, 11, + 39 - for May and KK

Neale to brisbane for 5

hogan to freo 5, 10

Kent to saints for pick 39

Tyson, 10, + 39 - for may and KK

So, as far as I can see, Kent remains unsigned as well as the 2 rookies T.Smith and D.Kelity?? 

I'll answer my own question,  3 years!!

Easy boys, I live in Cockburn.

West coast getting involved will be great for us, Starts a bidding war between them and Freo...

It is a good sign out delistings are getting stronger and the selection table are having more headaches

This has made me feel a lot better than where I was when I was posting. I was lamenting the fact that we are again loosing players from our list. You are right that the 2019 OOC are really best 22 either at the MFC or other top 8 clubs. Baker, Wagner, Maynard are the only ones there that I'd question might not break Geelong's starting 22, but I'm looking forward to seeing what Baker can do. My worry is experienced depth, which is why I dont want to loose guys like Tyson and JKH. They are good players who will offer more next year than pick 45. 

Building on this, last year we lost Garland and Watts who were in our best 22. The others were Hulett (0 games), Kennedy (bust trade), Lumumba (well Clark didnt do anything either), Spencer (great back up), Trengove (sad but glad he got a go with Port), and White (didn't loose anything here as he came to Casey anyway). 

This year we have lost Vince to retirement which is odd for us as we haven't had many who have lasted to retirement lately, Balic which was sad for the boy but we never had him in MFC colours and most thought depth anyway. King and Flip were basically out due to their in and out from Casey by mid way through this year and our preference not to play them in the ruck. McKenna was a speculative pick that none of us really put hope in, Bugg was good for us during transition and I hope he gets a gig somewhere else, but no one had him best 22 at the start of the year, and Pederson has again been a great servant during transition but he would just be back up again next year. 

Now it comes down to players we don't really want to loose. I know things happen during the year, but I dont know where I am de-listing three from next year's OOC. 

it is getting harder, a great thing indeed, but there are still some who would be surplus to requirements,

Wagner for One is obvious to cull ,

I would think stretch would close to that too

Last year of Lewis...  and that is three players.

If D.Johnstone  and JKH ges contract extensions they will porbably be only one year, and will need to show something good to get another...

That gives us 6 spots on senior list with AVB, JKH and Kent uncontracted.  

I believe D.Johnston and D.Kelity are also both uncontracted as yet...

Didn't we also sign a cricketer as a Cat B rookie

Yes, we did, Guy Walker 23 years old.

I wanted to get a general idea where people would be watching the game.

It may also help with people to choose where they go to watch.

I Like Cheese.

the only problem with watching at Fed Square is the lack of Beer....

hope he gets a decent contract extension soon.

I throw my scarf to the Salvo's every year in an attempt to raise the appearance of increasing Demons supporters in Perth.

No evidence that it's working.

I do a similar thing to help promote the club to potential new supporters.

Myself I get the little sticker for car number plates we receive in our membership package and stick them on random peoples cars.

Thanks everyone for your great suggestions

Think I may head to the globe...

can anyone recommend a good pub in Melbourne to watch the game?

is there a good Melbourne fans pub in the city?

thanks

Would love some details on him...height, weight, playing position etc 

He was a bowler(although not a good one) so I assume he would have a bit of height...

On another note..

last name walker, played professional cricket, played for the mfc.   sound familiar??/

Here's mine

None of the last 4 games should hold any fears for us.  We know we can match it with anyone, and if we continue to play at the level we have been, then there is absolutely no reason why we can't go extremely close to winning all of the last 4 games.  

did a ladder predictor just before, had us win all 4 games and somehow we finished 2nd.....
