Assuming they are going to bring in the rule we can trade 2 years in advance for draft picks, probably a 25,26 and 27 first rounder for a fully fit and in form Petracca. we'd probably be asking for players, or 25/26 draft assets though to mitigate any impact caused by Tassie.

He's a contracted top 5 player in the comp. if they want him, they will have to pay our asking price, or he'll stay a demon, end of story. Why on earth would we accept less than the typical asking price of a super star player? It would clearly be the clubs preference to keep him, that's why we signed him to a long term deal, to grant leverage in exactly this scenario.

I honestly think our new draftee at pick 70 odd is a real chance to play a few games this year, he's got a real presence and aggression about him, and if he goes into the ruck JVR can stay forward as well.

If Petracca did decide he wanted out at years end, you couldn't be more certain of anything other than the MFC will be making an enormous offer to Harley Reid and sending the picks from a Trac trade to the WCE to get it done.

The obvious ones are Clarry, Trac and Kozzie. Ideally we'd love to keep all three long term, but if we can't, it's in our best interests for all 3 to have massive years, help us win a flag and then put their trade currency at an absolute premium either way From the lesser known players, we really need Van Rooyen to take a big step and become a premier power forward in the league, Jefferson to push into the team and play a big role and guys like Sparrow, Chandler, Howes, Spargo to go from being role players to the next level up in their respective roles.

Love a key forward who scares the living daylights out of opposition teams without even having to touch the ball!

Langford looks so good! outside of an injury, i can't see any way he's not playing regular footy next year.

Kane Cornes, this is why you sign your gun players up long term, because when players are contracted, they get over whatever is bothering them, work through it and come back looking as good as Trac did today.

10:Langford 19: Lindsay 20: Sharp

Could not be more thrilled with the outcome, we've just picked up 2 absolute stars, consistent players, classy left foot kicks and both great character and leadership. Well done MFC

Late bolter for pick 67 is Blangus Blayshaw, in case the AFL medical people ask, absolutely no relation to Gus.

you've been on fire lately mate! love it!

Was just thinking, Bo Allen has a fair bit of Jordan Dawson in the way he plays.

Our inside 50 connection is going to get a lot better with two beautiful left foot kicks coming in.

Cal said that Lindsay vs Allen is a 50/50 call we will make at pick 9 and he made a point of saying his prediction might well change with his late mail.
