If we don’t make the finals this year then we will end up losing top end talent. If we cannot retain players then the draft is irrelevant. Top teams make the finals pretty much every year.

Really need a crumber like Garlett in these conditions. Shame he is injured.

Port Adelaide and Fremantle have the loudest cheer squads of the Inter State Teams that come to the MCG. I was in the Cheer Squad and that was my experience anyway. We should have been louder but I feel many of our fans only really get up for the big games against Victorian Teams.

I thought my 8 year old son summed up the game best. He said to me, "Daddy, what is so bad about losing the game is that we have to listen to that awful song again. It is just the worst!"

Stephen May in for Frost. Otherwise, no changes. We were 9 points up in the 3rd Quarter and looking good. We just looked like we did not have the pace in the heat to go with them. It was a similar story against West Coast in the Prelim.

I think that it is entirely possible that not only were some of our players underdone but as the old adage goes, ‘We don’t match up well’ on Port. Last year was a case in point. In a year that we made a preliminary final, we still lost to them but we smashed superior teams regularly.

Bring back the Wizard Cup!

Leave Jack alone! Australia has bigger problems! i would rather blame everything bad on the greedy banks, corrupt politicians and crooked property developers and corrupt unions. i think the fun police should let Jack Watts and others have their chance to blow off steam like the rest of us. He even committed the act in a foreign country so a simple apology to satisfy the bleeding heart liberals should suffice.

KK will play on the wing and be picked with Frost.

I like his vision as much as any of the other draftees. He might just be the goods!

I wonder given how traumatic parts of his life were, if he partly died of a broken heart? Anyway, R. I.P. Colin. You played some beautiful football at times.

Mitch Honeychurch? Played 13 AFL games in 2018.

Why just Coniglio? What about Tomlinson?

We will play Freo and the Suns twice, just for the media crap about players who have changed teams recently.

Mitch Honeychurch remains unsigned. He is mostly an outside midfielder and played 13 games in 2018. Is he worthy of DFA spot?

Reckon Khamis could play forward or back and even on the wing.

Give May No. 1. Preuss 12 & KK no. 23.

Peter Bell just responded to my email about Jesse. Credit where credit is due. He was very polite.

Josh Mahoney is fantastic! Melbourne have been winning the off field battles ever since Jason Taylor came on board. Thank Mark Neeld for that and Josh Mahoney.

I hope that we play Freo twice next year and smash them both times. I am sure that our players will give Jesse some friendly banter.

Really think that we will pick up 2 Mids with our picks in the 20's. My guesses would be: Xavier O'Halloran, Ely Smith or Luke Valente. We might get another forward in the rookie draft, pre-season draft or a delisted player.

Garlett is worth 40+ goals a season. Give him a nice bit of fluffy encouragement and he might just perform.

I cannot see Hogan ever winning a GF for Fremantle.

I think the Bell has tolled on this deal. Can't see it happening but I could still see us acquiring Steven May.

Let's work on the basis that the Hogan trade does not happen. Could we offer next year's first round pick for Kade K and Stephen May. I think it would be enough.
