This is a good pickup by GCS and a great move by Ellis. GCS are better off targeting 4-5 mature players who can win their position on field, provide leadership on their line and help develop culture, rather than go for superstar players. If we consider the cost of a mature player who can break even in their position it would be around $300k. If a superstar costs $1.2 - 1.5 million a season and a player like Ellis costs $600k, then you can afford 3-4 Ellis's for the same TPP as a single superstar. Taking this approach the GCS can use the draft to develop their own superstars or trade in once they have their culture, game style and on field performances in order.

Charlie Spargo will be 10 x the player Jamie Elliot is, that is unless Elliot accepts our offer.

We didn't want him anyway, a poor mans Charlie Spargo.

Exactly

Yes

More words.

It's just words. Show me action.

I'll see your Tollinson and raise you one Finlayson who had one effective disposal.

Reading Mahoney's article posted on the MFC page yesterday it looks as though Frost has been asked to ezplore his options, but if he doesn't have any suitors then Melbourne have a contract for him. This is similar to the Watts situatiin a couple of years ago and something I don't have any issue with.

Sorry Kids, if that is your real name, many of us don't give a rats about the last 55 years and instead live in the present and the changes and improvements to be had in 2020. Sitting behind a keyboard using a silly name to take pot shots at a well respected senior coaching figure is not demanding better.

ET - your so called facts have ruined my narrative that Hawthorn turnes Jack Fitzpatrick into an absolute superstar.

Exhibit A - Fitzy at Melbourne Exhibit B - Fitzy at Hawthorn

Scott Brother 1 is on record saying he can't see the trade happen ans that he'd expect 4 round one picks and a player to trade out Tim Kelly. Seems reasonable.

A bit like Collingwood getting Mayne instead of Mundy.

Agree fully re Gawn, not only his onfield performance and presence but also his maturity as a leader and ability to communicate and command an audience. Im supportive of Gawn being our sole captain and Viney and one other as VC.

To those deriding Viney finishing third you need to get a clue. Viney is a jet!

He was easily in our top 3 before he injured his foot. Was our only player who could deliver the ball inside 50 to our forwards advantage. Also went full beast mode for a couple of games playing onball.

Show some respect and sit and watch the sponsors and listen to the ?, you might like it.

It's working, what you are seeing is filler for the time allocated to showing the season highlights.

A poor mans Juice Newton. I'd rather we rookie Juice or Fevola.

I reckon we adopt a d!ckhead first policy. Plenty of talent to choose from.

Haha, the neg approach seems like something Peter Bell would try

I'm not a troll, I am an idiot. There is a difference ?

What is an M1?

Casey is at least 4 hours drive from Gotches paddock. Similar travel time to Geelong.
