but ... research please, not just pick n mix lolly grabbing Herald Sun - June 2012: DASHING Hawthorn linebreaker Shane Savage said being overlooked for last year's finals series motivated him to break into the regular side this season. And Savage, who has signed a new deal to remain a Hawk until the end of 2015, has been true to his word.

mids , mids & mids

mids , mids and mids ... 3 -Toumpas, 4-Mayes, 13-Vlastin & 24-Viney,and 45-Nathan Wright OR if Viney has to go at #3, then 3 -Viney, 4-Toumpas, 13-Vlastin & 24-Pongrecic,and 45-Nathan Wright

YES YES YES

It's a YES from me ... we need any good player

AGREED

agreed - worth the risk for MFC. Memo - get Jake Stringer

agreed - we do NOT want to miss Luke Tynan. He has improved in last 12 mths and we do not want to miss another "brother" (Dylan Grimes, Alwyn Davey)

get back on track ... I had a dream #3 Jimmy Toumpas (SA) - pace, skills, smarts ... great wing/ruck rover. Gets the footy. #4 Jake Stringer (Bendigo) - midfielder/fwd ... reminds me of a young PAV !! or Sam Mayes (SA)- class, class, class #13 Dayle Gartlett (WA) - think a taller version of Cyril Rioli, Or #25 Jack Viney father/son (Chargers) - hard as concrete. He will be a key to MFC future. #45 Jason Pongrecic (Stingrays) - this kid loves it tough. He gets the footy, and tackles like he really enjoys it #65 Daniel Nicholson - rookie elevation Trade 1. Cale Morton to Eagles, in exchange for Koby Stevens 2. Ricky Bobby Petterd to Sydney, in exchange for Jesse White #3 Psd - Darryle Pearce (Power) Rookies (only 2 to add) - 1. Luke Blackwell,25 (WAFL Claremont gun onballer) 2.LukeTynan, 20 (Scorpions) good classy HBF, brother to Josh

This post in a dead end. Cloke, Beams & Wellingham will be in black and white in 2013

Yes for me. Classy midfielder who kicks goals. BUT only if we get him 1. in exchange for a Jamie Bennell or 2. with PSD#3

Luke was born in Melbourne whilst his dad Wayne was playing for the blues. He was a father son pick in the 2004 draft for Carlton. He spent most of the 2005 season playing for the Bullants (carlton ressies) as an 18yo. He was a very light teenager and it wasn't until halfway throigh 2006 that he got into the Blues Seniors. He played 10 of the last 11games of 2006, and was set up to be part of the Blues rebuild alongside Murphy, Gibbs etc. In 2007 and 08 he played a further 13 games before being delisted at end of 2008. Then as above, he has won 3 Claremont B&F's (2009, 2010, 2011), runner up in the 2010 Sandover, won the 2011 Sandover (WAFL League B&F), and won the 2010 Simpson medal for the best player in the WAFL interleague match. He played a key role in Claremont's 2011 Premiership. Get him now at the end of 2012 - likely with MFC#3 pick in the rookie draft ... we would NOT be disappointed. He HITS targets !!.

Update - Jake Stringer - 4 goals and 2nd best for Bendigo U18's. Watch this space... he could be very special (pick 4 for me)

Jack Watts TBC ??? missed a week so why no diagnosis? MFC Club Doctor: Dr Seuss !!!!!!!!!

good logic and hope ... but for the last 3-4 years, this has been "written". By 2013, it was going to be the premiership year !!!!! this is our last hope for a good draft and some A graders. Picks 3,4,12, 22 (lets hope its not Morton, Maric, Strauss, Bell types)

Yes his knee must be fixed after rubbing $100 notes on it.

Agree 100%. Colin is a key to a brighter MFC future.

A simple fix to our games is to instruct the players to play "forwards" and look ahead. Our first qtr agst the Dockers was where we moved the footy, kicked fwd and looked dangerous with our fwds one-on-one. It was frustrating to see - 1st qtr : Pavlich/Bradley goal, where we controlled across HB, then 2-3 sideways kicks, and trunover Pavlich gets it 55 out and goes bang (Bradley marked on the line). It was dispgraceful. Suburban footy like. - 4th qtr : Grimes 55m out, should be looking for a setup goal or just a big torp. But no, he kicks it 25metres backwards to the centre and puts Joel Mcd under pressure, turnover & goal. End of game !! I understand the switch but these were not on, and were negative plays. Neeld take note. KISS principle. Fwd and quick play on style. Try it for god sake and give us some entertainment. If you play on like Blease/Nicolson, and get caught, so be it. But watch out, it may work.

structure ??? agst the Dockers, we had two many half fwd flanks and half back flanks. Once Jamar went down and Martin into the ruck, our fwd line was all 6 footers (Green, Petterd, Sylvia, Howe, Bate). All one dimensional. B: Nicholson, Frawley, Rivers HB: Morton, Garland, T Mcd c: Blease, Gysberts, Bail/Trengove HF: Sylvia, Fitzpatrick, Howe Fwd: Jetta, Martin, Green Ruck: Spencer, J Mck, Jones Int: Dunn, Tapscott, Bail/Trengove sub: Couch emerg: Moloney, Sellar, Petterd (put Trengove on the wing to start the game as "must" have the skipper on to start the match) In: Morton, Gysberts, Tapscott, Jetta, Dunn, Spencer, Ftzpatrick. Out: Grimes (inj), jamar (inj), Bennell (dropped/injured/bags packed), Strauss, Bate, Petterd, J Mcd

Moloney was B&F in 2011, then as he has had a down period, the answer is "Delisted". Get a grip. Moloney is hard at the footy, physically mature (which is much more than others), and has the skills and smarts to be a key midfielder going forward. Kicks the ball 50+. Wake up. Davey, Green, Bennell, Bate, Spencer, Petterd, Jetta & a few others would have to go first.

Bate played last week for MFC not Casey !!!

Out: Dunn (susp) Spencer, Magner In: Green, Jamar, Couch/Gysberts

agreed, our development is non-existent. Would be happy to get a gun for #3 or #4. Boak would be good, but who come to MFC. Mitch Clark had the serious $$$ offerred but before that all chose other clubs (Judd, Hale, Burgoyne etc)

"and of course wherever we need to take him" Jack Viney so if GWS/Suns bid for Jack, then #3 Viney - F/son (Whitfield & Grundy 1 & 2), #4 Toumpas , #13 Kennedy and #24 Garner smokey at # 24... Nathan Wright (Dandenong). Around 40-50 likely but I watched him twice and was super impressed

Reminded me of Marc Murphy - 165 cms and 60 kgs at 15yo ... and NOW he is afl elite.
