What

Surely we are going hard at Kelly? Surely?

A star key backman is the final piece of the puzzle for us. This would be huge. MFC 2017 1st round pick + MFC 2018 1st round pick for Jake Lever and Adelaides 2017 2nd rounder Id then like to see us trade back into the first round as I feel sorry for Jason Taylor who is being starved of 1st rounders to weave his magic with on draft day.

Wouldn't be in our best 22 even if we did get him. Would just be depth.

Agreed, I would give him a miss. We have a bunch of half backs, and they are way better than him (Hibbo, Hunt, Salem with Wagner and Joel Smith coming through) We need to keep some draft picks anyway for our list profile. Jones would cost us too high a pick. Jason Taylor needs to get a shot at the draft, its what he does best. If we bring in Lever, we will lose another couple of first rounders too.

The Zak Jones interview thats been posted. Will be a Demon 100%.

Wow. If Dusty leaves them for Sydney (or anyone else) the meltdown from Tiger supporters will trigger a magnitude 10 earthquake.

Saw this too, it was on last Sunday Footy Show. His reply was a dead giveaway he will likely be a Demon next season. I just shrugged my shoulders as I am not sure how he fits in when we are loaded with half backs and not sure he can play in the midfield. Though we may have plans to move Hunt to a wing.

Jason Taylor can make any pick look prized. Pick 12-16 in his hand is like gold. And how many hammy injuries has Lever had this year, three? Are they related to his ACL graft? No way in hell we are giving away two first rounders for him without a sweetener back.

We arent giving up two valuable assets for Lever. In either of those scenarios, we will be getting a 2nd rounder back.

Didnt the Wiz just move his family to Melbourne from Perth? Thought he said that in a recent interview. Hes definitely a Dees supporter, thats for sure.

Forgot to mention that not only did he add Fantasia in ahead of Garlett, but he dropped Betts for him too. No bias at all of course.

Hibberd is now in Lloyds rolling All Australian team on the SUnday Footy show. Our only player in the team. And of course the biased clown has 4 Essendrug players in there - including Fantasia, ahead of Jeff Garlett - what a joke.

Pick 25 for the Milkshake. God I love when we rip off Essendrug and Adrian Dodoro. Melk and Hibbo for two second rounders, thanks very much.

He really is a superstar, holy [censored]. Thanks Essendrug.

His constant hammy injuries are a concern, especially if they're related to his previous ACL tear.

mother of god Let it happen.

If we are a destination club now, as we all believe we are, surely we are able to land Lever, Kelly or Hopper? (Or another comparable young gun)

No its not overs, Lever will be worth every penny. Hope the Demons are active behind the scenes, or will another team get the big fish as usual while we end up empty handed?

Bold prediction - Both Melbourne and GWS will score the magical 200 points in a game in 2018. GWS will do it twice.

I feel for McCartin, its almost an identical situation as Angus Brayshaw. The top 3 of that draft have all had serious hurdles, with Petracca doing his ACL. Which strangely enough, is the less serious situation of the three and hes back playing and looking amazing. That was just about a career ending injury 30 years ago, now players can come back better than ever from an ACL, Meanwhile concussions are treated much more serious these days, and repeated concussions are now career threatening (or career stalling at the least).

Dare say you were in the minority back then, King. The Melk has put together a very solid month footy, The AFL season is a war of attrition as much as anything and his seasoned body is coming in very handy, especially with all the injuries we are copping. Long live The Melkshake.

What year was Jason Taylors first draft with the MFC? Was it 2015? Looking at our drafting history and trying to work out when he took over

If hes not All Australian the MFC should sue the selectors and AFL.

Anyone else think he will be better than his brother? He has shown lately some great signs and unlike Tom I don't have a heart attack when hes kicking the ball from the backline

TIme to get serious and poach a star from GWS or Gold Coast... no way those players can be happy playing in front of 5k people at home every 2nd week for a plastic franchise.
