  1. Could his injury be a blessing in disguise? Maybe less expectation being placed on him because of an injury in the pre season will help him to get some real confidence in his own game with a little bit less pressure?
  2. Would we have the cap room to afford someone like that and still be safe if a couple of players really improve in the next 2 years and look for bigger contracts? paying dawes and co decent money would leave a dent
  3. I think if he is open to a move the MFC would be insane not to inquire about him.

Western Bulldogs 18.GWS can't see there being a huge gap in wins from about 7-15 wouldn't be surprised to see MFC's draw being enough to have people feeling they might be a chance at sneaking into the 8 for the first half of the year then perhaps falling away in the second half through just being a young team and tiring abit, hoping for some good signs though!
  5. Awesome read mate! loved reading something from someone with a little bit of sense. I really think alot of these reporters are going to look quite silly when this tanking situation is over, fairly confident if the AFL had something that would hold up as evidence for a charge they would have done it weeks or months ago, i believe they may be looking to deal with MFC to work out an outcome in the best interests of both parties as they have realised they can't get out of this without looking like stupid kids on a witch hunt.
  6. I am not the most knowledgeable on this topic as all i know is what the media is blabbering on about but the thing that i think is the most unfair is that libba has said carlton tanked and Terry Wallace said " i sat there and did nothing" which would be not coaching to his upmost, exactly what they're trying to charge Dean Bailey with. I am bias but to me that is blatant discrimination and i can't see how any neutral court won't see it that way, we're the only team being targeted. Seems the AFL just wants a way out that won't make them look stupid. Also what i've read in the papers and on the net has been disgusting to say the least, if Melbourne FC don't recieve charges they should definately persue that.
  7. I would be more interested in Quinton Lynch than Travis cloke personally, Cloke is a great contested mark granted, but he wants far more than he is worth unless he is in top form for 5 years straight, Lynch would cost far less, and fill the second tall role then we have more money to spend on getting our midfield up to scratch, i'd be tempted to mix up howe's time forward abit, he is too good a mark not to have in a dangerous position more of the time, then throw strong offers to Clint Young and Shannon Byrnes to get abit of experience, quality disposal and hard bodies into the mix and throw the kitchen sink at goddard, he may be gone but if there is any chance he would be well worth it, his on and off the field contribution would be huge for the young players and fans, if we get all of that, we would be a much different side next year, Boak would be an ideal addition to our midfield, not sure how realistic getting him is but we have the picks and we have the money so i suppose there has to be some chance there
  8. We need to recruit a better midfield to be quite blunt, it's not at an AFL standard, plenty of potential, but Jones is our best player, and he's had a fantastic year but realistically he wouldn't be the best at very many other clubs so we need to recruit the right mature quality midfielders to rotate through with him, Goddard would be a huge pick up if we could manage it, his on and off field presence would do alot for our young players, would love to see them recruit Goddard, Q Lynch, Shannon Byrnes, Clinton Young and Travis boak if he decides to leave, add that to Grimes, Trengove, Viney, Jones, and it allows you to drift someone like howe forward a little bit more, and he could become even more dangerous
