Is Richo the right guy?
Geez Olisk is fired up tonight!
-
Fritsch Magnet
He's soft as butter, and only really capable of playing well when guys around him are playing well.

THE RUN HOME 2020
If we can't beat that Swans team we don't deserve to play finals. time to have a look at the reasons why our list isn't playing anywhere near it's potential and why the gap between our best and worst is wider than any other team in the comp and why we're still dealing with the same issues we were in 2017

GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs Sydney
The Simon Goodwin era has to end, if he can't instill a ruthless attitude to this team that allows them to back up week after week, time to find someone who can. his selections have cost us at least 4 games this year, this effort is not AFL standard. Casey would be more competitive than this. Season over, time for heads to roll, full external review. i've been off Goodwin for a while now, but this is beyond a joke. we're only every going to be mediocre under Simon Goodwin

The 2020 Trade Period
I would have thought that Gunston could play the same role as Mitch Brown did on the weekend. i think the way footy is going your second big forward can be a more mobile type. I think we'll be looking to address our forward line, i think the club probably thinks we're going okay down back, inside the contest and Sammy is a good deep target but the outside mids, a bit of class, small forwards and some experience are probably still lacking
-
The 2020 Trade Period
I think you could play both, Fritsch and Melksham, but this would rely on Picketts pressure going to the next level and those two really putting a clear focus on their tackle games. they would make for incredibly hard match ups if they could do it though. especially with petracca also floating forward
-
The 2020 Trade Period
that's probably a fair call! i think he'd be a good get! Weideman would i think really benefit from his guidance in terms of his forward craft as well as the role he could play on field which would be a pretty significant upgrade on what we've gotten this year from TMAC and Brown. i think he's still good for a 30-40 goal season next year

The 2020 Trade Period
Oh mate they're in strife, i think a few guys like Gunstan, Bruest, Smith etc might all get sharked by teams in the mix would absolutely love to get Jack Gunstan into the side, they can have their second pick back for him
-
CHANGES: Rd 15 vs Sydney
Out: Oscar, Hibberd In: Fritsch, Harmes Harmes to play through the midfield, don't need him down back with Rivers in the side.

The 2020 Trade Period
People forget very quickly Tom was actually quite a good key defender. the biggest weakness in his game was his kicking out of D50 but i think his field kicking overall has improved a bit these days. he has the odd brain fart but on the most part he's pretty good.

The 2020 Trade Period
I'm still of the belief we're lacking a little bit of on-field leadership, if we could get someone like Issac Smith or Tom Hawkins in the door to sure up the leadership side of things- ideally transitioning into coaching that'd be handy. premiership player, still in our best 22 in terms of small pressure forwards - Jack Lonie might be gettable, I personally also think we're not 100% set on our third key back and would be tempted to have a look at Joel Hamling
-
The 2020 Trade Period
I get the sense he left Brisbane because he was young and wanted to go home, left Port because North offered him way more money than anyone else would and now he's been dropped because Rhyce Shaws Coaching career is going about as well as Neelds was at the same point and North are now openly and transparently tanking.

The 2020 Trade Period
Would we take a punt on Polec if Norf would pay some of his salary? i think he's really struggled in a bad side, but his best he's a handy player with a lot of the attributes we need
-
Jeremy Finlayson
Would be a great get, would really compliment our side. Redleg was strongly calling for this a couple of years ago, if only the club saw it then, we'd have gotten him for a packet of Skittles back then.
-
Forgotten Demons
Watts - I'm probably in the minority that wouldn't mind seeing this, but i don't think it'll happen. Tyson - Will likely be traded to another side for not very much, or retained for the last year of his contract and fizzle out as a player. sad because his best was extremely good. Dunn - great bloke, but well past it.
-
Nathan Jones in 2021?
Nathan Jones has had a bigger impact on the MFC than Peter Jackson or Paul roos. he's been an absolute giant of the club. as LN said if Chunk thinks he isn't in the best 22, if he thinks he's being gifted anything he'll retire. it's that simple to me. i think right now he is in our best side, and he should play for as long as that continues to be the case.
-
Tom McDonald
If we do trade him, maybe we could get Tom Phillips from the Pies and get the outside run that we really need in return. they could use a decent key forward.
