100% if we don't improve significantly next season they have to pull the trigger on Goodwin in my opinion. i think there are some mitigating factors this season, if they're no longer relevant and results don't turn he should be moved on. I really think in the understandable pursuit of stability we've probably become a little stale, i'd personally like to see a significant clean out of assistants, particularly. Forwards, Midfield/stoppage if Brett Ratten misses out on a senior gig i'd be going all out to get him as our senior assistant/midfield coach. and as far as forwards, Stevie Johnson is extremely highly rated, understands leading patterns etc, i think he fits the bill.

Hopefully all the way to our second round pick. for me we hit the trade period with a list of 5 2x outside runners with good skills and speed. 2x pressure forwards 1x Key forward, ideally ready to go. I think we are likely to land Ed Langdon by the sounds of things, so that's one elite runner, but probably skills/decision making his weakness. i'd personally be sniffing around Dan Butler, Sam Gray If Brad Hill is gettable we simply have to go hard.

He showed on the weekend that his footy smarts somewhat cover his lack of speed, could easily have kicked a bag if he summed up the conditions a little better. last 5 games if he can kick 10 goals in that time, average a couple a game and help the forward set up i'd personally give him 1 more year. he's not going to apply pressure so he has to kick goals.

I would certainly look at getting someone like Nick Reiwoldt in to help the forwards with leading patterns etc even in a part time capacity, we can get the ball in there but anything that gives us better looks is worth considering. Blake Caracella is talked about glowingly by everyone he deals with though i suspect he could be in the mix for one of the senior vacancies.

I think we have a very good list and one most opposition teams would jump at given the opportunity but i am much more concerned with the coaching/gameplan side of things 1. all of the top teams have moved the ball a lot more conservatively and relied on forward speed and pressure. we move the ball too quickly, can't apply enough pressure when we get it in there. 2. i don't think our forward set up or midfield set up work well. too many players get sucked in and really they just have to break even to win the ball and get it in space. and the forwards have no idea how to make space for each other. i think we desperately need to find a key forward, 2 pressure forwards and 2 outside midfielders with speed and elite skills if we end up with pick 2 i'd seriously entertain the idea of sending it to the Dockers for Langdon, Hill and some sort of other combination of assets. couple of elite outside players would seriously add to the side.

If i'm in charge i'm putting a decent deal in front of Jade Gresham and Josh Kelly, i suspect Kelly to Norf is basically a done deal, but no reason we can't get in his ear, in fact i'm sure we already are. I don't think we have any reason to fear players leaving if we want them to stay given the state of our list and where i think we should go in 2019.

Surely he’s worth it as a delisted free agent...

Probably too similar to a lot of our other players to be legitimately interested in my view.

Yep. The other thing is centre clearances just went up massively in terms of value due to the new rule changes. An area we dominate at and the hawks struggle.

Can kick a long goal

My personal ratings would be Lukosius a bit lower, he’s definitely talented but I just don’t think he’s a genuine power forward. Plays a bit too much like jack watts and maybe I’m a bit scarred Izak Rankine I have on par with Walsh as the best players in the draft. He was seriously damaging. bailey smith is interesting because he could easily play half back or mid, I think he’s got potential to be the best player in the draft if he gets the balance right. Ive mentioned elsewhere I think Jye Caldwell has the talent to be a top 6 pick but the types of injuries he’s getting so early is a real concern... he’s an outside chance to slip through to our 23 though unlikely. The king brothers are interesting because I think the only way an interstate team drafts them is if they can get both. Phantom top 5. 1. Sam Walsh 2. Max king 3. Ben king 4. Bailey smith 5. Jack Lukosius Can see a couple of the SA boys sliding a bit. I reckon the Gold Coast would be a better chance of retaining the king brothers than the SA boys.

Especially for a guy universally known to be a highly efficient user of the ball. That’s where hunt let’s himself down in comparison.

1. Richmond 2. West coast 3. Melbourne 4. Collingwood 5. Essendon 6. Adelaide 7. North Melbourne 8. Hawthorn 9. Sydney 10. Geelong 11. GWS 12. North 13. Fremantle 14 bulldogs 15. Brisbane 16. Carlton 17 st. Kilda 18. Gold Coast suns

I don’t mind pruess being used up forward simply because I can’t see him being out marked. Bring it to ground and let the smalls go to work.

B: Lever. May. Jetta hb: Salem. Frost. Hibberd. c. Harmes. Viney. Kolodjashnij hf. Petracca. Weideman. Vandenberg f. Hannan. McDonald. melksham fol. Gawn. Oliver. Brayshaw. I/c. Jones, fritsch. Lewis. Neal-bullen

I vaguely remember roosu saying something similar in his meeting with goody, it was mostly about culture and so on rather than just football. I think we are onto a winner with goody

I actually think jye Caldwell is a chance to slide. Very talented kid but injury concerns at a young age may put some doubts in recruiters minds for the first round

It basically makes kade a free hit the way the trade played out. And this kid has absolute A grade talent and potential. I think a bit like Gus his confidence putting his head over it has taken a hit due to concussions but they’ll be able to support each other and I’m super confident it’ll be a bargain pick up for us.

If anything makes you feel proud about supporting this great club the way they’ve handled all that Jesse has been through since day one has been nothing short of amazing. His decision coming from the Melbourne side of this was extremely emotional and difficult for him simply due the enormous support he’s received! Devastated to see Jesse go but it’s also great that he’s finally back home with his family and hopefully smooth sailing from here and a great career for Jesse at the dockers

He would be the cerra on top for us. A beautiful inside/outside combo with speed. Too late to get him added to the hogan deal? Haha

Absolutely and they’ll be concerned if they have nothing to sell guys like brayshaw, Cerra and co they will want out. This hogan deal is, and always was huge for them.

Hogan for 5&30 may and Kolo for 5& future third in: May, Kolo, pruess, 30, 65, 68 draft: 30, 34, 52, 65, 68

Still coming to the dees... just getting a plan b in place in case the hogan deal falls through. Will be done tomorrow

It’s offical. He’s a troll.

That’s fair. Everyone judges the list a little bit differently
