Target 70,000
I hope that we get more members but the trouble is if you get 70000 members and they turn up, then you have to buy a reserved seat as well to gain admittance. West Coast has a waiting list for their Membership. i can’t see us getting 70000 members without sustained success. Maybe 50 - 55000 at a push this year.

The A-Grade Ladder
May and Lever are both A graders. Watch their attack on the ball and their intercept marking and it is obvious.

Cornes Staggered By Dees Decisions
Sometimes you have to give up a lot in a trade to get in players who will transform a culture. Goodwin was a great team man at Adelaide. He has decided that May and Lever bring those qualities too, which is why MFC gave up so much to get them.

Cornes Staggered By Dees Decisions
But Cornes doesn’t Like Crows, past or present!

Cornes Staggered By Dees Decisions
I think Cornes has a personal animosity towards Goodwin.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
If the draft is compromised next year, then adding Bennell for 2021 may be a solid move!

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
I think it might encourage other star players to come to us because I think it shows that we are a club who are willing to give a player another chance.

Tom Green (Drafted by GWS Giants)
I thought Adelaide were going to nominate Green and that is why GWS want our pick 3?

Are we done now?
Well I like the word ‘bespoke’. Should I apologise for being different?
-
Are we done now?
No, they denote a standard of dress, that is sadly lacking amongst many of the population of this fair city.

Gun target - Key Forward recruit?
Are we going to take Serong at 3 and then a forward at 26? There are at least 3 possible choices at 26: Miles Bergman, Cameron Taheny or Dylan Williams. Any thoughts from others?

Josh Jenkins
That rabble finished above us on the ladder!
-
Why are the Saints so attractive?
Totally about Ratten. Would love him as our coach. One of the 3 most charismatic coaches in the league. IMO.
-
Sam Murray
Wasn’t he delisted? No deal would be necessary, other than agreeing terms with the player.

Farewell Sam Frost
I think some people are missing the point. MFC pays market value for its players. That way the players can choose to leave if they value money over playing for our club. If Hawthorn want to pay more than Frost may be worth then so be it. He is no Lever or May. Every player needs to earn big contracts.

Preuss to Work on Forward Craft
Grew up playing rugby. No wonder, he is not soft, like so many other AFL players are.
-
Jamie Elliott
At least he has mongrel, unlike many of our players!
-
Rawlings Leaves
May still end up being our Senior Coach in 3 years.
-
Rawlings Leaves
Melbourne FC are screwed. Alan Richardson, Ed Langdon and whoever else will not right this ship. Guarantee that we won’t make a Grand Final until we have a Senior Coach like Alastair Clarkson.
-
What gives you hope for next season?
Nothing gives me hope right now. Hopefully Alan Richardson amd a few new players may help, but no guarantees!

Angus Brayshaw to Fremantle Rumours
Brayshaw is simply untouchable. He is a solid tackler, has a great hip and shoulder and is damaging going forward. He also helps our spread when he is fit. Personally think this thread should be shut down. He could be our captain in a few years.

The 2019 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
You can get leadership in young players too. You need to draft players like Sam Walsh who just take the game on straight away.
