My comment was a bit tongue in cheek - I want all players to train hard and strive to impress the coach I just hate the idea of arguably our most important player getting injured by friendly fire in a training drill - I'm sure you agree

Great but please do not break Max at training trying to impress

My comments / observations are stupid ? Personally I think form over the last 2 years is a relevant indication of what someone can bring to the table. I have said a couple of times I trust the FD and their decision to recruit KK and wish him all the success in the world You can have your opinion and I can have mine but I will not be stupid enough to call your opinion stupid

2015 is a hell of a long time in AFL just look at our list turnover during that time if you need any further proof btw balic had the benefit of the same winning environment and it meant nothing in terms of him making a go of his chance I am not saying he’s a completely without hope however on the 3 games I was bothered to watch he looked underwhelming and can’t really see why some people are suggesting he’s the answer to our prayers for skilful outside run on the wing Sorry to be the voice of reason and not blindly optimistic

I think it’s a bit premature to say Weid has made it he still has a way to go to be considered a real threat to opposition teams on a regular basis - few nice games but much improvement and consistency needed

I have watched 3 entire games that KK played in this year and to be honest remain completely clueless as to what we think he brings to the team. I know this years form may not represent his “potential” and I haven’t really seen much of his best year when he was runner up in their B&F other than a few highlights but I’m really not convinced he is the right fit. I really hope I’m wrong and do have confidence in our FD these days to make good choices but this feels like another Harley Balic potentially I wish him all the best and hope he can turn his football career around quickly

We have a particularly hard draw (assuming other teams perform as well as they did this year in 2019). If we make the finals again we will have done well hopefully top 4 then who knows. If we make finals next year given our draw we will have certainly earned it and will have consistently beaten some of this years finalists to get there. If we drop a couple games we should win (a habit that seems hard to break) things may get a bit tough

Interesting I just read that Rodney Eade said he played KK out of position on a wing and his best position was HBF I wonder where that leaves Jordan Lewis ? I would have Hibberd on HBF over anyone else so it’s getting very crowded back there

Interesting they are cutting a midfielder after losing Neale to Brisbane - don't know much about him but could be a chance

True - he was good but he does kick very short a lot and I also noticed a consistent tendency to kick or handball high to teammates - perhaps that’s something he will work on at MFC he did mention Goodwin had talked about how he could improve aspects of his game perhaps that is one area the guy who played on Buddy was pretty impressive - can’t remember his name #16 I think Weller played well too that day

Looks a likely type

I watched the entire suns vs swans game from this year (suns won this btw) KK was pretty disappointing in that game I thought - didn’t do a whole lot even when the team after 1/4 time had one of their best performances of the season He didn’t have great continuity of games I guess this year but still didn’t look any quicker or harder over the ball than Tyson. Hope he has a big pre season and proved me wrong May was pretty good that day but did have a few sloppy turnovers

J Smith I think may get game time

Put a line through T Smith as he is a VFL player only - I asked the same question in another post I think we are light on for tall forwards too

I think the real problem is paying too much and losing them for too little - that is the real question

WTF? why bother with a swap of future 4th round picks

Hope he's wearing a hard hat

They would have to be supremely stupid to agree to trade Neale without having an agreement in place for Hogan

At which club ???

KK ??? Not really hard at it from what I’ve seen I’m really surprised we are even considering him

If MFC trade J Hunt I will be very very disappointed - sure he had a crap 2018 but he is one player we should hold onto - has pace , is fearless , can break lines , and despite question marks on his disposal he has all the skills just needs to fine tune decision making We need more fast attacking players not less I sincerely hope he is going nowhere

He already has a contract he doesn’t need to sign another one early. I don’t think this in itself is proof he isn’t happy to stay or the FD isn’t happy for him to play next year The only players desperate to sign contracts are the ones unsure about their value to their team or other teams - in short if you have currency it is likely in your best interest to not sign early and bargain when your negotiating position is strongest I don’t see much evidence of JH initiating this current situation but I do believe he is and will continue to be courted heavily by the idiots abroad - for JH that would be tempting from a $ perspective , flattering , somewhat attractive from a go home point of view and confusing all at the same time - it’s not his fault but at some point it would be in everyone’s interests that the circus moves on

Feels like = IS KK is worth a pick in the 60+ range if you ask me based on Kent , Rohan, Scully talk etc if we can’t get this done and retain a high 1st round pick it should not be considered full stop

Couldn’t stand him as a player - some things just never change it seems

I really don’t get the love for May the only reason we would entertain this deal is if we have been told categorically by Jesse he’s gone as soon as he can and does not want to be MFC player What effectively constitutes a swap May for Hogan and a second round pick is nuts As far as KK is concerned I took the chance to watch the R21 game vs Suns last night and all I can say is for him to get a game he needs to HTFU big time
