What

They can have Dawes, Grimes, Dunn and Garland for their 2nd rounder

Exceptional first post. Agree with everything except I'd persevere with Max King. After Gawn and Spencer we are almost non existent in the ruck department. King showed a lot last season, he seems to have stagnated this season but that is hardly unheard of for a 2nd year player who is 200cm and just 20 years old.

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.

He needs 22 goals in 7 games to hit 60 for the season.What hes already done is amazing, but to hit 60 would be something else for a 21 year old key forward, who is already the main man and is sent the oppositions #1 key defender each week. We have a superstar on our hands.

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.

Full Forward in Team of the Week http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-05-24/team-of-the-week-round-nine

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

Weed is listed at around 197 cms and hes still just 18, so hopefully after adding some more strength/muscle he can become a really nice pinch hitter in the ruck. Would make him a very dangerous player and make the team balance perfect.

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.

Jack VIney could have gotten more money waiting til then. Maybe he sacrificed a chunk of cash on his first big contract to help keep everyone at the club Wouldn't put it past him

Will be a 1 club player. The hysteria is ludicrous.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY MUST THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He really is in Perth wtf

afl.com.au Footy Feed said that Hogan is currently back home in Perth Surely that is not true?

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

Oh for [censored] sake

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.
