Not too many blokes can hold their head up high today

Where does Matt Jones sit in all this, is he a long term prospect

Blease probably deserves a run now

Moore for blease? Neither can get a run lol

Classic enyaw (: your rambling always brightens my day

Amazing a professional football side could consistantly make such basic skill errors

I wonder how bright he thinks it looks atm

Toumpas for ports first rounder? He has started slow but is talanted and contracted

Hmm, would we let toumpas walk, if so what for?

We really are missing cross big time

Nooooooooo

Adam Jack watts and Jack grimes come to mind

Hard watching the dogs suns game, a couple of seriously good young teams getting real value from their high picks

I think trengove will become a genuine inside mid who can use the ball well But we have far too many flankers

How's michie?

It's kind of funny isn't it, a thread about our lack of inside mids, in a game when we were smashed on the outside, Our errors and lack of skill has cost us 100 points in the last 2 weeks imo

MFC- not good enough

Finishing 17th is well on the cards, could we get a priority pick? 1,3 and 4 would be alright McCartin Petracca Durdin

6. Viney 5.Riley 4.n.Jones 3.Pederson 2.McDonald 1. Howe

I'd offer a really good contract to Dangerfield or Boak to come home to Melbourne, talking 6 years, over a mil a year and offer pick4 and Toumpas as the trade, both free agents at the end of next year, if the club thinks they might leave they just might consider it, and the players are Victorian, an offer like that to come home is always worth looking at

we have messed up a lot, I always wonder if blokes like Strauss, Blease, Tapscott and co would have developed differently at another club and been very good players

Time for brave decisions we need this to look and feel like a totally different side in 2015 players like Watts and Grimes being on the trade table is not out of the question imo

and if you read my comment you would notice I am not denying that, we have probably made a massive error here, Toumpas was/is not what we needed and Wines would be making a difference. I would personally have taken Wines, but that does not take away from Toumpas imo he is tracking okay, probably will be an okay player in time but I don't think he is what we need, so i'd probably consider a trade if a good deal came up, a more advanced team would be able to develop him better and make better use of him, right now we need to strip everything back and get the foundation of our list sorted.

Yeah, it's a little bit of a worry some of the obvious problems some of our senior players have

I really hope Jack Viney finds the time to have a coffee with Joel Selwood, I reckon that's the sort of player he will become in time he will imo be the next captain of Melbourne
