That would just be pure gold if after all this time Deeluded turned out to be Todd Viney!

Be a better night out too. Imagine BJ ?! Talk about ME ME ME(Edited for sensitivity to current events ? )

Definitely the latter. the even spread of good players will get you to the big game. When you get there perhaps a contest won by the elite big name will give you the flag, but history is mostly against those sides attempting to buy premierships.

If you have to name a best lineup in the centre square round one, assuming parish is what it says on the box, who would you have at this stage? Let's assume all midfielders are healthy and in form.

As a casual observer I find it fascinating how quickly and seamlessly Stuie can argue himself in to a losing position. Unfortunately it destroys threads in the process.

yes if there is a gun KPF at the top end you have to take them. Top midfield talent is more common obviously but the draft HAS to be about collecting talent, regardless of clubs positional needs. A bad mistake to take the tall just because you need him even though he's ranked 12th best talent eg Lucas Cook. Take the very best available and develop in to bargaining chips come trade week

Best strategy has to be take best available, regardless of postional need. In this era of player movement, a graders are 'currency'. we can always trade out surplus a graders for proven players of a certain position the following year. Draft must be treated as a way to accrue currency. Trade period to be used to fill holes in the list.

Do you think its normally a deliberate tactic, NSC or just people not being able to keep quiet?

whiteboard Wednesday anyone?

Scary how much the world is going old Orwell and no one even sees it. PC = the distortion of facts to fit a comfortable or preferred narrative

A statement bigger than anything in afl history needs to be made. Those early errors by Dawes killed the game. He is a member of the leadership group. He would be disappointed but he and all the others know he'll get another game next week. He is a afl veteran on big coin. It should be made public that MFC arent f@cking around anymore. An announcement t be made that as Dawes is not fulfilling the bare minimum required of a club leader he will no longer be playing and his contract will be terminated at years end. BANG

Let's call it the MFC 2915 fire sale. Get the guy that voices for the Tiles ad to do the narration and put it on Sen

Nothing of substance unfortunately, Ethan. Just a contrarian thought as everyone is looking north and i feel toumpas may get packaged up with a pick and offered to S.A.

anyone considering the Agrade mid Roosy alluded to might be Ollie Wines? perhaps first pick and toumpas?

Gee our midfield is looking ok long term. Would love to nab one more GWS kid

Id love Jones to win 3 Blueys in a row as I feel after the last few years carrying the Club he deserves to have his name in the timber 3 times in a row. Saying that, I reckon Tyson could pinch it

remember stephen powell. He didnt mind a roost of one step

Does anyone feel Jetta could be moulded in to that defensive fwd type player. his defensive effort is very good. doesnt get much footy but does he have potential?

hes talented but wasted as a 'flanker' in melbournes side. he doesnt really have a position in the side that i can see that is worth the money to keep him. he has currency based purely on his 'potential'. id like to see him put up for trade. at least see if we could get a first or 2nd rd pick for him. id much rather a dunstan or a sheed type than pay watts big money to float around on the wing. hes not physical, goes missing alot, is a poor contested mark and justt doesnt have a strong work ethic. If theres a club out there thinking they can turn him in to something then now is the time to trade and find another decent midfielder. we cant just play him on a flank for his career on big money.

My thoughts exactly Geddy

i still want to trade Watts. Try and get an extra pick for him and grab a midfielder. I just dont think hes got enough of the competitive spirit in him. Skilled for sure but where do we play him? Id rather get a hard at it midfielder for him out of the draft, plus aish and billings/sscharenberg/kelly etc and Buddy in free agency. Theres a midfield plus buddy for the marketing and crowd draw. We're away. Taylor Adams for watts would be a nice result. add him to the guys mentioned above plus franklin

if jones stays he will never play finals. mfc wont see finals in his playing time. sad but probaly true

ok Stinga, my mistake. i think thats UFA i might be thinking of

moloney is a free agent. clubs dont have to enter a trade with us to get him. he can just walk. an error on the part of the afl.com journo who wrote this fantasy trade idea.
