What

Yeah fair point... suppose it cant hurt if they are the last 2 blokes on the list

Surely we will pay out M Jones and Terlich.. its terrible they are contacted and will suck to take the financial hit in the short term, but we can not carry F grade spuds any longer

Assuming Jack Trengoves recovery goes to plan and he can get back to playing, he will be the perfect replacement for Daniel Cross. Right down to the elite contested marking for someone of that size.

Well Daniel Cross has retired. There another spot open.

Surely thats not right.. but if it is maybe we have a midfielder or two already lined up in trade period/free agency?

Wow was not expecting that.. He has been a great pickup for the club, I hope he stays on in a coaching role in 2016 and beyond!!! Well done Crossy.

Still in shock they both said we will go up next season Not because we wont but because Damian Barrett and Garry Lyon said it. And I love the Petracca talk, something for us supporters to look forward to for sure.

He is at least 5000 times better than Prendergast. At least.

Garland is a good defender, his problem has always been that he gives us no drive at all from the backline. In the modern game you could almost consider him a liability.

Think that should be 'Velly good, I crap for you"

I always had a feeling that Brisbane were the team offering Howe big $$$... would be great the MFC if that trade eventuates

oh for [censored] sake

I wouldn't be writing off JKH yet, the kid has played 21 games and is 20 years old... How long did Nev Jetta take to blossom? Lets see how he goes after a 3rd preseason

How will Dawes be out? What other team will want him? Unless he retires early due to a chronic injury he is with us for another year

Sounds like he will inherit Dawes contract, only Tom Lynch can play good footy and isnt a statue. Fingers crossed.

Wish I had your enthusiasm Adam... Lynch seems like a good possibility and would be a nice acquisition, but the MFC just doesn't attract established players at the talent level of Prestia, Bennell and Whitfield.

One of the main reasons we still struggle is our list depth, or lack thereof. Its every bit as important as having some star players. When we lose a starting 18 player to injury such as Tyson, Vandenberg, Salem etc etc or they are replaced by VFL level players. The list is deeper than it was last year but is still very thin by AFL standards, but after this trade period it will be even deeper. And that will lead to more wins.

Yup. People will say this game means nothing. Well they are wrong. Every win is another step forward in the journey to redemption. Every loss is anther kick in the guts. And lets bury this [censored] Etihad curse once and for all.

It astonishing how bad our skills have been for so long. You almost have to be trying to kick and handball terribly on purpose to be at Melbournes level of ineptness of disposal.

Stick him at FF with Jesse as the roaming forward. Would love to see the Russian kick a bag and be sent off with a win!

Viney must be coming home with a bang.. hope he wins the Bluey.

Once again it was our talented yet inexperienced players showing the way,, Gawn, Viney, Salem were all great and will be great... We must do what the Giants did and bring in some serious experienced support for the younger brigade.. they recruited the likes of Shane Mumford, Heath Shaw , Ryan Griffen and Joel Patfull. We have grabbed Bernie and Cross which is good, but we need more. Lumumba has been terrible unfortunately and Dawes was a Neeld pick up who cant play footy.

Because it also happened to Kent and Salem
