What

How many stars get traded for pick 26? He doesnt need to be a star, but I would hope he is a mainstay in our best 18 and a very good player.

Our 3rd round pick or nothing. Dont give them a pick in the 20's. [censored] Essendon. If they refuse to take our 3rd rounder, we say no to Hibberd. Simple really.

We should be showing Essendope zero respect. Offer them our third rounder, or try get him to walk as a delisted free agent. If Essendrug try to play hard ball, then drop interest altogether. We will get by just fine without Hibberd.

The Wet Coke E-Girls

First win over Port in Adelaide since 2000 - Broken

Its time the MFC landed its big fish.

Wow thats bad. 16 year hoodoo hopefully gone this weekend.

Whens our last win over Port? And over Port in SA?

And hes still 19 and played just 23 games! Looks like a reliable poised 150 gamer out there

He is in the perfect situation in Adelaide. If he goes to a club and is the main forward on big $ he will struggle mightily I reckon.

Yup, we sit 6-6 and 109% with the youngest and most inexperienced side in the comp. It is very impressive. Non MFC fans are gushing about us.

I feel sorry for the Pies players in two weeks time.

According to that moron Brad Scot, people are 'cowards' for calling out Lindsay Thomas for playing for free kicks. Cant stand Scott, he regularly uses hyperbole and passive aggressive attacks every single week for the smallest of issues. The irony is that he is the coward, nobody else. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/lindsay-thomas-draws-criticism-for-drawing-high-contact-free-kicks/news-story/4524389fc7155648048ba5dda5a3b022

Are you going around to all the team forums defending him? Just so you know, supporters from all teams think he is a joke. Cheers.

Geez we had 14 players under 50 games compared to their 8. And yes we were younger and more inexperienced. Amazing stuff.

Petracca leads the MFC in Goal Assists per game and Inside 50's per game. What an impact and he hasnt even warmed up yet.

I think the Lions were more inexperienced than us, would like to see the stats for them. Would be interesting.

Great first impression from the debutante. Not.

Jeremy Howes doing really well at the Pies in his 'defined role' with their 'great young list' 12 possies a game, 4 marks a game 3 goas, 1 behind total 84% time spent on ground Absolute gun he is

Yup, ,sucks to lose but we will have days like today while we are this inexperienced. On the flip side we will also roll some good teams this season.

Have to agree with this, the Melkshake would be in the team now if available. Hes gonna have to work his ass off to get a gig Round 1, 2017 though.

Josh Mahoney is a legend, I assume he engineered the trade that moved us up to pick 3 to get Clayton Olkiver while also getting pick 7 and Weidemann The gamble to trade away our first rounder this season looks like it will pay off huge if we keep playing this well. Even if we finish 10th that equates to pick 9, and Weidemann is already showing in the VFL he is going to be a player.

Not one iota of turmoil or even any murmurings of it since Roos and PJ took over operations. The new board must be doing a fine job too. In fact I cant even name one person on the current MFC board which is a very good thing in my opinion.

He will take a part time role as advisor to recruiting/drafting/development
