Goodwin seems to think he will play.

Oliver would have 9 votes the last 3 weeks. I reckon he could easily have 20 votes at this point. He’s a massive shot as is Gawn

This is a massive danger game for us. I think we will win by plenty but this is the sort of game some players may already have penciled in as a win

I agree, just in the event Jesse told them he wasn’t open to discussing an extension because he wants to go back to Perth. I suspect he will stay and will be signed on before round 5 next year

Andrew gaff has to be a priority and to be totally honest I still think we are in the box seat. I think we’d have the cap room to offer a good deal. And we are a promising team for the short and long term who he grew up supporting. I can’t see north offering drastically more than what we could. Aaron hall is another I think has the attributes we need and wouldn’t cost much to get. I suspect the curve ball could be Jesse hogan. I’m sure the club will ask if his intention is to stay on and if not we may look to more him on a year early given we have some cover up forward now. Obviously I think and hope he will stay but if he was set on leaving he’d get us a pretty good package in return

Bugg has been playing good footy for a long time and has played well up forward. He’s the one I’d go with

Has been offered a truck load of cash from the Gold Coast suns

Short from the Tigers is ooc. No indication he wants to leave but he’d be a good addition and if they’re planning to sign tom Lynch he may get squeezed out.

What’s Nathan jones on field role going forward? Because for me he’s now forth in line for the midfield assuming guys like Salem and petracca don’t improve which I think both will. Is he a full Time wing/half back? Could he play forward and rotate through. Bit like Tyson I see him as too one dimensional and the real strength of guys like Oliver and brayshaw is they have the speed to play other postions.

I believe he’s had a run and is hoping to join back in training next week

Personally I’d go with hunt for smith, Kent or Hannan for Kennedy Harris

He does so many things that don’t show up on a stat sheet, hard running, accountable on his opponent, he makes the odd mistake but so does most of our team. I think he’s had a much improved year and will continue to improve

Anyone know when/If hogan has started talks on an extension yet? Surely we’d like that locked away before next year

Jenkins is a dud. Goes missing under the slightest bit of pressure tex can’t take a mark over his head and doesn’t run hard enough to get it on the outside. At least hogan has worked out he isn’t a freak pack mark and works hard to get his opponents on the lead

I loved him playing as the deepest defender. He reads it so well. What he did in the last quarter made a huge difference

Smith is not even close to AFL standard

Dees by 41

I reckon we will lose to the crows, but beat the suns, swans and upset the eagles.

Lloyd from the Tigers I think is a player who would fit in well. He’s a good kick and we need as many of those as we can get.

Dom Tyson won’t leave Victoria. He wanted to come home from the giants basically right away I’d say a few vic teams will be keen on him but personally I’d rather hang onto him

Zac Jones for Tyson? Where do I sign. Don’t think dom will leave Melbourne and we might be better hanging onto him in case we get some injuries. Handy depth player

I suspect we will bounce back against the crows and beat the suns. And I’m backing us to beat the swans as well. The last two rounds we are a chance as well. Season is a long way from over for us. But it won’t be easy

improvement in scoring power our young core is developing well together we seem to be retaining all the players we want to keep

The perfect two recruits based on where we are now would be Steven may and Andrew gaff.

I suspect 12 wins with our % may well be enough. And we should beat the suns. So we need to win one more, and maintain our %. If we are serious we should be able to win at least a couple plus the suns game.
