CHANGES: Rd 11 vs North Melbourne
If suspension (but also he was rubbish) ... Out. Anb. In. Pickett If injured again. ... Out. Avberg in. Hannan Unlikely but if he needs a rest to ensure he stays upright Out. Gawn (managed) In. Preuss If AFL is a joke and soft suspension to Lockhart Out . Lockhart In. Jetta

Jason Taylor
Agree. Good response. Not sure why the heat is into JT. Only questionable pick was Spargo when players like Petruccelle for pace was available.
-
Jason Taylor
I agree itโs not JT The trades of Preuss and Tomlinson probably need more scrutiny, as does giving 2x first round picks for Lever. Mahoney or Taylor or Goodwin?

Josh Mahoney - The Secret Unlocked!
Correct. Ben Gibson asks the good questions. The ones we ask. Mahoney is a politician. He is very eloquent and presents well. Itโs not one offs. 2019 was a disaster. Our skills are horrible and we need to get it right.

Fixture 2020 (COVID Edition)
Yes itโs just that we could have come back to Qld and played North. Why not? Gabba and Metricon both available. Would prevent us doing complete pack up for a 5-day trip to Adelaide for 2 games. We will have played in all 5 states by end Round 11. No other club has had that travel agenda. Lions stay in QLD again. Perhaps they should have travelled to Adelaide but no, AFL darlings stay in QLD.

IF WE LOSE TO THE CROWS, THEN...
I agree.

TRADES, DELIST, PROMOTE
Sorry I had Fiorini as an outside mid. Wing. Running up and down the wing at the G. Iโll watch the next suns game more closely.
-
TRADES, DELIST, PROMOTE
I think Joel Smith will look elsewhere. Kangas? Swap for ?? Mason Wood?? My option for a swap is young 21yo Tom Murphy. Murphy would be a good replacement as a mid size rebound defender and can assume a Hibberd style role. His skills and intensity are good. Not quite cracking a game for Kangas.
-
NON MFC: Round 10
Tigers kicking skills are ELITE Tigers pressure and tackling is ELITE Tigers concentration and intensity is ELITE Not sure how someone like Goodwin could see that and not question his ability to coach and the Dees players pathetic skills.

Lloyd: Trade Oliver or Brayshaw
Agree

Fixture 2020 (COVID Edition)
F ARK IN ELL ROOS V DEES IN TASSIE - rescheduled to Dees v Roos in Adelaide ROOS V LIONS IN TASSIE - rescheduled to Roos v Lions at Metricon. Dees get screwed every time. Lions are absolutely favoured with AFL trying to gift them a flag !!! FFS
-
TEAMS: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
Clearly a stronger Crows team. They waved the white flag v Roos. Set themselves to win v Dees

2020 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
I still think we will add 3 youngsters. Definitely wonโt be inside mids or a young ruckman. NEED OUTSIDE MIDFIELDERS THAT CAN RUN, WITH SKILLS TO KICK THE FOOTY.
-
IF WE LOSE TO THE CROWS, THEN...
Agree. Goodwin cannot continue if we lose this. Itโs a โ186 point loss โ no matter how big the scenario of a loss.
-
TRADES, DELIST, PROMOTE
Tom and Oscar can go to the Suns in exchange for Brayden Fiorini and a 3rd round pick
-
Lloyd: Trade Oliver or Brayshaw
Bulldogs - Bont, Libba, Macrae, Dunkley, Wallis Too many inside mids!!! Wallis played forward pocket last night. Maybe they should trade the Bont!!!
-
TEAMS: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
Tomlinson played as a key defender for Giants in 2016-1st half 2018 seasons. Then played CHF and wing in late 2018. He is a utility. Might see him at CHB. Worth the trial. Cannot have Lever as 2nd tall. Played MUCH BETTER as 3rd tall and intercept. Goody - ??
-
IF WE LOSE TO THE CROWS, THEN...
If we lose, then 1- Goodwin should resign and acknowledge he is not capable of leading Dees to glory 2- Players will be advised to stop drinking their own bath water 3- media will enjoy the week and make Melbourne FC the laughing stock 4- Dees supporters will have another period of shame and despair 5- the holiday camp in Maroochydore will be under extreme review If we win, then... (According to the media and special commentators) itโs because the Crows are hopeless and it proves nothing until we beat a good team.
-
Lloyd: Trade Oliver or Brayshaw
Brayshaw for Dons first round pick - selection at 10/11. Lloyd has his own agenda
-
Rising Stars vs the Dees
McHenry or McAsey likely to kick a bag !
-
TEAMS: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
agree. Jackson has zero contested marks in 3 weeks. Mitch Brown probably should retire !! He deserved a roll of the dice this game.
