I'll update gradually for list and draft pick changes. atm I'm not quite ready to take Hunt off the list. 😢 -

I would be very surprised if the club isn't working with Kozzie and those close to him to understand what he doesn't like about Melbourne, the city. Clubs will go to great lengths to make players happy in all aspects of their life. So unless Kozzie is miserable his unease in Melbourne, the city I reckon it will all get sorted. Even North said they asked JHF's family to move to Melbourne to help him out. The club loves to have a major contract signing announced at the start of the season. Kozzie is a fan super favourite so an announcement in March perhaps... 🙂

We were keen in his draft year. When GCS let him go it was effectively a salary dump for a big contract. Traded for a 4th round future pick. Doubt we could have absorbed his salary. Had TMc or ANB trades eventuated we may night have been able to. Water under the bridge now.

How embarrassing for Cornes. Calling a senior official of a club a liar is very insulting to Lamb and mfc.

No need to worry about pick #52. Its fate: We keep it an it becomes a bid in the low-mid 40's after all the second round picks are chewed up with F/S: Ashcroft, Fletcher, Davey and NGA: Mackenzie all top 16 draft estimate. We keep it and use it in a player trade to get a better pick back Use it in a pick swap. It will become more valuable than it looks at face value.

Good Lord! Too much violence and I hate the sight of blood. A genteel brunette from Bayside scrapping it with a 'westie' ranga!! Can't see it.

The Jayden love on here is something to behold. I hope that somehow he comes to know about it. Lots of people have 'outed' themselves as a Jayden fan and I love it! I know in my head that he is gone but I can't bring myself to take him off the list in the 'Contracts' thread 😢 Go well, Jayden.

If JHF gets to Port their pick #8 and future first is gone and with them go the idea that Freo can trade for that pick #8 to use in the Jackson package. They of course can try and trade with other clubs to get that top 10 pick. Otherwise they will have little choice than to include a very good, proven, elite player in lieu of a top 10 pick. They have a few of them - just need to convince one of the Vic lads to come home! And then include this year's pick #14 +/- swaps/sweetener depending on the player. Alternatively, let Jackson go to their arch enemy. Freo: Rock vs Hard Place!

From Fox footy: "Luke Jackson looms as the messiest trade of the off-season, with both West Coast and Fremantle still in play for the young ruck’s services. The Dockers are the overwhelming favourites to snare Jackson, but they can’t come close to meeting Melbourne’s demand of two first round picks as a deal. Freo’s first draft pick is at 13 and then there’s currently nothing until 72. Griffin Logue’s trade to North Melbourne will help the Dockers bolster their draft hand if they do cough up pick 13 and a 2023 first round pick for Jackson. West Coast meantime are open to splitting their pick two – which would become a three should Will Ashcroft go early as predicted. But list boss Rohan O’Brien has confirmed the Eagles won’t be offering that as a trade for Jackson. “There’s an air of confidence that we think we can convince him and hopefully get the deal done,” O’Brien said on SEN. “Opportunities like Luke don’t come along very often.” I like that Eagles are keeping the heat on Freo.

On media reports we rated him very highly and the three year contract has been on the table for a long time. It looks more like we can't give him confidence of getting games whereas other clubs can. I think it has a bit to do with our game plan. Bedford's string of senior games was when we experimented with an extra small fwd and one less medium/tall. That experimented lasted about a month or so then he lost his spot.

WorkSafe are now involved worksafe-probes-hawthorn-amid-racism-allegations They AFL will now have three 'reports' to fight 'rear guard' actions on if it doesn't get its 'panel' together very quickly. They have completely lost control of this. They can't shape the agenda, the optics nor the outcomes. Which is probably a good thing. Too much manipulation of 'negative' news in the past.

I think Jordon injured his foot or ankle. Bowey is the really interesting one. My theory is that in the Geelong game they rag dolled him and was dropped so that he could bulk up. He was probably tired having played about 20 games straight in his 'first' year into the second. Will come back bigger and stronger next year.
Not sure if you would call the extract's from Mitchell's book evidence but no one complained at the time it was published. Referenced in the article fresh-allegations-emerge-of-alastair-clarkson-s-controlling-behaviour: " Mitchell detailed some elements of his fall-out with Clarkson in his autobiography Relentless, which was published after his playing retirement. He stated in the book that he came close to leaving Hawthorn for Collingwood so deep was his disappointment at the way he was treated by the senior coach". Some really unsavoury stuff quoted from Mitchell's book.
This is the ranking based on average per game played. Our voting system scores a player our of 40 for each game. So only the top 5 got a pass ie >20 votes per game. I doubt our coaches would be shy about giving a player 0 in a game which clearly would bring the average down. Looks like a lot of 0 to 2 votes during the year. The biggest surprise for me is Lever. He didn't have a good year but I didn't think it was that bad, especially as he had to shore up the defence in May's absence, Petty out injured and he himself played many games injured.
What is 'historical negationism' about it. It was written six years ago!! In 2016, the year he made his debut and played 19 of 22 games.
