Where is Carlton on the ladder and Essendon are the same with us. So if we were hard nosed there and no trades were done would you be happy? I bet not. And don't say that Adelaide would have buckled and given what we originally put forward. It wasn't going to happen. The market said Lever was valued at 2 1st round picks. Same with JW. His market value was only a 2nd round pick. As for next years 1st round pick we can deal with that later. No doubt we will try trade up into a 1st round pick. But as for now we have traded exactly the way we wanted. Have done so for the past 3 years. Forget the unders and overs.

For god's sake does it matter whether we pay overs or unders in a particular trade. The club targeted Lever and Balic all year and beyond and made a decision on JW. They got these trades done as well as having 3 2nd round draft picks. As they said on Trade Radio the MFC are gaining the reputation of a club that gets trades done swiftly as possible. We usually get the outcome what we want.

He was being sarcastic

Where would we play Saad when we have Hunt running off half back/wing? Is his disposal better than Hunt and what are his defensive skills like?

This reminds me of Dusty only a few years ago when he tried to explore other options when Richmond only offered a modest uplift in his new contract. I recall at the time that they were frustrated with his on and off field performance but were willing to have him back if he wanted to. No other club was interested and the rest is history.

Huge news. The forgotten man. Love to have him in form and banging down the door at the end of the season.

So let me get this straight. Last year I was able to watch replays 24 hrs after the game by tuning into the afl website, "video/watch replay", and watch the game during the season proper free of charge. Will i still able to do this for this season? I don't need to watch football live.

While our forward line looks a lot better on paper with Jessie there at FF/CHF, it hasn't functioned that well over the past 10 weeks with him there. With Weideman's impressive debut and having Watts and Pederson in the forward line I wonder whether Goodwin will experiment and try Jessie in the midfield over summer. He is a similar size to Bontempelli and Fyffe and has the same smarts. imagine what impact he would have.

The gameplan got us within a kick of winning against last years grand finalist at a ground that we haven't won at in a decade and against a team that has beaten us over there on average by 10 goals over the same period. Imagine when this very young side gets another 25 games under their belt with the same gameplan and a couple new experienced imports, it will be exciting. Some guys here need to chill out.

I was thinking the same. is the business logo the tyre place in town?

Can't believe you guys have left out Wagner (except Angry). He has hardly put a foot wrong. I would have a fit and running Trengove playing HF instead of Kent. He would get more involved and is a better mark. We have a number of pacy HF's and mids to make up for Jack's apparent lack of speed. He would bring another point of difference to our forward line.

Remind me what the Blueprint was.

As much as I would love him to stay, if Jessie does decide to leave it should be at the end of this season. We would receive very good compensation in the order of Freo's 1st round pick which at this stage is looking top 3 and their 1st round pick in 2017. Also the club would want a player as well. Which player? I don't know but he would need to be young (which is rare on their list). We can then on-trade these picks to persuade a potential available star like Hurley or Jenkins to come to us. End result wouldn't necessarily be too bad. Generally a club that loses a star player does not lose out and in fact in a lot of cases becomes the clear winner.

To get a player like Prestia we will need to give up a player that the supporters would not want to give up. To my way of thinking he would need to be young but we have plenty of. Two names spring to mind would be Salem or ANB.

So on your logic you would have traded Alex Rance years ago.

What is the link to watch the game?

Thanks C&B. That made it simple.

I just tried to subscribe to AFL live App to watch the replay on my Macbook. I followed their prompts and paid by credit card and received a confirmation email. I logged in to watch the replay thru afl.com.au but they are still asking me to subscribe. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser.

A fit Lumumba would walk into our side.

A fit Lumumba would walk into our side.

And you reckon we had our best side in? It was a VFL side v VFL side.
