Agree. He’d be a very good pickup if we somehow trade our picks up to the 1st round (ie. The dogs first round). As a first or 2nd year or development, he’d play outside and be used as a delivery type. Then look to move into more traditional ruck rover midfielder who plays outside-in.

DD36. You raised and gave it oxygen. It was pathetic. I know it’s your opinion but I have to call it out “He is the exact type of player we desperately need”. Really? he’s soft. Lacks run , poor pressure acts. His kicking and disposal efficiency are actually poor. Not even close to the type of player we need at all. With Brown onboard hopefully today, we want hard running skilled mids to compliment our midfield bulls. Players with endurance who can run both ways. Two midfield runners would top off our team imv. That’s the priority.

I think we can kill this thread. I’m still laughing at it.

It’s all whispers and hearsay. The 2021 draftees are mostly unknown outside of some under 16 championship games and the WA and SA colts league this year. I think the. Super draft of 2021 is certainly not yet a known factor.

Unsure about Tmcd. Happy to see Tmcd stay or go. If he goes, 1- try to use the pick to get Narkle. 2- need Andrew Phillips from Bombers (save ourselves $450k a year) for a future 4th round. But I’m tipping Tmcd stays. Really want 1- Ben Brown - MFC pick 31 and pick 68 to Kangas 2- Dogs pick 14 - swap for MFC pick 26,33. Gets Dogs 1290 points ### End up with 3 picks 14, 43 , 50. ###

This Marley Williams whisper keeps appearing. Where’s it coming from ?

Played a (singular) good game v Hawks and the rest were poor. Very poor. Embarrassed by two youngsters in Georgiades (Port) and Mcinerney (Swans). He has had years to prove himself. Slow. Poor decisions. Weak tackle and spoils. Time for Oscar to checkout and see how he goes elsewhere. We wish him the best.

Hannan- future 2021 3rd round

Interesting that Casey Demons are using Twitter and Facebook and MFC website to ask for players to trial. I think the club is struggling and it will be interesting to see who the new coach will be. Obviously Dees need to get the coach appointed in the next few weeks by December.

97 pages. Games of chess between grand masters are quicker than this. Push the Kangas now to take our offer. We will then look to grab the Bulldogs pick with pick swaps.

Kangas are a good fit for tmcd. They need a tall forward to go alongside Larkey. Surely it’s win win.

Brown to Dees Stephenson and MFC pick 68 to Kangas Pick 31 to Pies thoughts?

Cats average age should now be approaching 30. I’m surprised they didn’t offer Nev Jetta a 3-4 year deal.

Screw north. It’s pick 31 OR 33 and throw in pick 68 if they are getting annoyed. They are kicking Brown out !!!

Agree. Saad is not worth a 1st round pick 8. If Blues give up pick 8, they need to get Saad and EssFC future 2021 2nd rounder

I think Bravo is a pick in the 40s-50s. Certainly will appeal given his speed. I think clubs will look at Archie Perkins around 16-18 and I think by comparison, Bravo offers as much and would be a bargain in the 50s.

Exactly. Even pick 31 only. Ffs. Kangas are dumping Brown. Screw them.

Not quite a small forward but if we are after an electric quick forward then I’m thinking Will Bravo. Even his name would be iconic. Saw him in Stingrays 2019 team (when I went to see Hayden Young). Bravo has that burst of speed with the footy and loves a goal. He kicked three on the day and I was thinking he’d be handy asset.

I’m still onboard the Jack Carroll train as the player we need and the player we are targeting. Teammate at East Freo colts with Riv and Jacko in 2019. Plays like? Simon Black. That’s why he is what we need. Skilled. Tough. Outside-in type midfielder. Turning 18 in December. 188cm 6’2 left footer. Saw him in 2019 Futures match and reckoned he would be an excellent fit. Would compliment our midfield bulls. Hope JT agrees. It could be why we are pushing to get into the Dogs pick 14 swap. (Macrae would also be very very good ).

Updated on the above. Given 45 (44+cat b Bradtke) on list for 2020 then we remove 7 (assume Tmcd stays). Add Ben Brown, thats 39 (38+Bradtke) on list. AFL says 42+cat b. So can add 4 from the draft or DFA pool.

Agree. Narkle is a good option and definitely worth a shot at seeing what we can accommodate

If Vanders wants to go to Sydney, Hewett is a fair swap. But I’m for keeping Vdhberger. A good man for the trenches.

Josh Mahoney - “they gave us pick 31”

We already have tiny Charlie Spargo. I’m not a big fan of Lonie and offers nothing extra give we have tiny Charlie
