2020 All Australian Team
Im not saying Clarry should have been picked but he had a lot better season than Guthrie. Thats a joke

Trade Targets
RCD is one that crossed my mind. Was BOG in the VFL GF last season and looked like he would get games this year but couldn't force his way into the Richmond side. Still yet to debut and may look for a change for greater opportunity. The thing also with Richmond is that they have Baker, Aarts, Pickett, Stack, Chol all still rookies currently playing that need to be upgraded to the main list so something has to give there.

Ben Ronke
Is mentioned in the article as out of contract. His stats compare pretty close to Butler. I know he has had games of 5 and 7 goals so that inflates it a little but could come cheap. Would add pace and pressure. Is behind Papley. https://www.afl.com.au/news/510272/the-small-forwards-in-big-demand-who-will-be-this-trade-period-s-dan-butler-

40 Man All-Australian Squad
Only compared the two as they are the two in the squad so one of them is being picked.

40 Man All-Australian Squad
If you line Max and NicNat up Max has him covered in most stats Max - NN Disposals 15.9 - 11 Hitouts 32.7 - 29.4 Clearance 3.4 - 5.6 Hitouts to Ad 10.8 - 8.6 Marks 4.5 - 0.7 Contested Marks 1.9 - 0.4 Intercept Marks 1.9 - 0.2 Score Involv 3.8 - 3.4 Spoils 3.7 - 2.3 The only thing NN has over Max is clearances and Gerard Healy

The 2020 Trade Period
He was asked about Polec specifically and he didn't/wouldnt comment on Polec but said outside run would be a target.

We desperately need a gun key forward
Yep gotta throw the kitchen sink at Cameron. If Richmond can regig contracts and fit Lynch in surely Melbourne can do the same. We gave up pick 6 in a super draft to bring in May. We need to maximize our chances while May is playing at his current levels or that trade is a massive blunder. Gotta go all out, all chips in. Better to try and fail then sit at 9th for the next few years.

Jaidyn Stephenson
Has he got the motor to play wing???

Serong/Pickett trade
Did a similar play in a training match in pre-seaon in Maroochydore where he kicked the goal himself.. Was put up on the Melbourne website at the time.

Jason Taylor
Yeah Taylor would be part of any discussion about trades but he gets judged on the players he picks with the picks he has. This is more JM and Tim Lambs job.
-
Jason Taylor
I'll say it again what does this have to do with Taylor. As the thread title suggested its about Taylor and therefore drafting. Hes not responsible for trading picks.

Jason Taylor
What has that got to do with Taylor.

CHANGES: Rd 17 vs GWS
Gus out for year

Jack Gunston
29yo at the start of next season. On field forward coach, allows Weed and Jacko to learn and get 2nd/3rd best back. Is durable and could have another 5 years?? Give Haw there 2nd pick back. Frost for Gunston??

Gary Pert on The Deebrief
I think with Solomon and others they have been made redundant and not sacked meaning that his contract doesnt have to be payed out and therefore not included in any soft cap
-
The Travel Factor
Another thing to note is when we have played at Metricon we have traveled down the day before and stayed overnight close to the ground to avoid a 3hr+ bus trip while the Lions traveled 30 mins from Brisbane and the WB 5 mins from there hub. Not to mention the extra late nights travelling back from Bris airport to hub from Alice and Adel.

The Oscar McDonald Appreciation Thread
Tell me again how many goals Papley kicked

Game plans, tactics and all that jazz
Yes agree. We need to factor in the short turn around into Freo in what will likely be hot humid conditions. If as above we can get of to a fast start and a lead by half time it would be great in the 2nd half to drop back and try and control the game. Play Trac and Clarry deep for a half.
-
Trac's Last Goal
Im note sure anyone including the ARC could say it was clearly touched. There was no deviation form the ball, no finger bent backwards etc. You cant state it was clearly touched from a 2D image and the angles that they had. The fact the ARC said it was clearly touched baffled me and I almost put the remote into the TV at the time.

The 2020 Trade Period
Bolton wont be starved of any mid field time hes turned into a starting mid no matter who returns and is worth more than a second rounder anyway. He is exactly what we need but that ship sailed 12-18 month ago
-
Jared Polec
If Nth will pay half of 700-800K its a yes form me if you can get it done for anything other than the Haw 2nd round pick. The more we want nth to pay of his salary the better pick they will want.
