Hayden Young (Drafted by Fremantle)
Good call. He is not just a stand and kick type. Outstanding disposal but can also aerobically cover the ground. prefer Ash for his speed and Serong as a midfield/goalkicker

Farewell Sam Frost
Who has Clarko improved? Ricky Henderson is not a bad example. Spud at the Crows. 2019 - he unbelievably had average 25 possessions as a rotating on/off midfielder. BoG v Pies with nearly 40 possessions if so recall not saying clarko can weave miracles but he may improve Frostys disposal and turn him into a top class attacking defender

I’d definitely have a chat. But trust Richo to have inside knowledge

2019 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Elijah Taylor at pick 30. That’s a bargain. Exactly the elusive indigenous forward type that MFC needs. Perhaps as suggested elsewhere (reluctantly Frost and pick 58 for Hawks pick 30) we could steal Hawks 2nd rounder which is around this pick.

Any news on what hawks are offering Frost? Years? dollars?

Line one. Absolutely wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Oscar McDonald was on Mckernan in round 3. I was there. I was screaming. It was ridiculous. Goodwin keeps faith in Omcd yet jettisons Frost. It’s madness. Btw watch round 23 v Kangas. Frost shutdown Ben Brown. He’d kicked 10 the prior week. It’s madness to let Frost walk.

Farewell Sam Frost
What a troll. Oscar mcd player on Mckernan. Check the tape. Frost was moved onto Kennedy after Omcd had been beaten in Perth. Your memory is poor. You might want to question Oscar mcd and see who he has ever beaten. Btw. You campaigning to get Harley Bennell. What a joke.

Goal Kicking Coach
Did we not have a goalkicking coach??? If we did, they’d be the first one sacked. If we didn’t, it’s an obvious blunder by the footy department.

2019 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May
May will be a key to 2020. If he’s on field, then we have a better stronger defence. Without May (and with Frosty jettisoned) , our defence against big forwards looks weak.
-
List changes who do we cut, trade or go after.
Presumably now it’s 8 spots available on the list Lewis TSmith Maynard (Ret) Garlett Keilty (delist) Frost Stretch likely trade. Jkh likely delist or steak knives. <Walker cat b retired>. Add 3 or 4 through trade and free agency Add 4 or 5 through the draft. Pace into midfield runners. Another key forward A small forward. Some young stars. Presumably all who can hit a target by foot with a 25 metre pass !!

Phantom Drafts
Good call. I think they reckon it’s a flat draft after Rowell and Anderson. But (excluding Green) Young, Ash, Serong and Kemp are also all very very good prospects who are highly rated and worth holding the pick. Say Picks 12 & 18 for pick 3? Not sure it’s a good punt.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON
Where’s his best position. I have seen him play CHF and was ok. But his finals were terrible. He missed targets. He played reserve ruck and looked slow. Maybe was out of position. Definitely not a wingman as some on D-land have suggested.

Farewell Sam Frost
Frost could take Brown and destroy him Frost could take Josh Kennedy and destroy him Frost could take Franklin and destroy him. That was 2019.

The 2019 AFL Draft Combine
Agreed. Goalkicker. Watched him a few weeks ago against the Falcons. He starred with good pace and goal sense. Charlie Dean was another at the Dragons that i was impressed with as a tall marking forward and I reckon should be on our radar.

Farewell Sam Frost
Jetta May Lever Salem Frost Hibberd Lever is not a key back. Looks lost man on man. His best is playing the 3rd defender who comes off his man. Hore can help but is better as a mid sized defender. Had a very good year and showed why a VFL background is a handy entry to AFL Frost shutdown most key forwards this year. We can only hope that May’s hamstring lasts more than 2 weeks in a row. Petty is developing but needs to go from slow to medium. I am hopeful. Oscar Mc. No. Oh no. 2 years of woe. Slow. Ineffective. Out bodied. Lucky to get a game with Casey really.
-
Phantom Drafts
Too early. We might keep pick 3 or split or buy. I’ll wait until the trade period is over.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
I’m still laughing. Drugs. Alcohol. Injury. No way.

Farewell Sam Frost
That’s a shocker if true. Hawks are masters at screwing others in trading

Farewell Sam Frost
Did anyone watch this year? Frost had some clangers. But others were as bad! How does ANB get a new contract? Did anyone watch Frost beat Riewoldt, Josh Kennedy Naughton Ben-Brown Franklin this year. Players who usually kick a bag on us. Yet Oscar McDonald gets goal after goal scored on him and is slow and ineffective. Sure Oscar does not get clangers and thats because he does not get the ball and when he does it’s a 12 metre pass sideways. Goodys losing me with his decisions

Gaff or Andrew Brayshaw Rumour
Gaff and pick 35 for pick 3 yes
-
Farewell Sam Frost
Get it right Had his best year and continues to improve run and carry played all 22 games fit and firing 9th in B&F Fastest player on our list (2nd fastest in AFL...?) Destroys key forwards in match ups (completely shut down Ben Brown in round 23) 26 year old Sure had some clangers but not alone there but we don’t even offer a contract !!! Ridiculous No wonder he is talking and walking to elsewhere

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ED LANGDON
Freo gets pick 22 for Langdon. Seems fair. We paid similar for Hibbo and Melksham respectively.
-
List changes who do we cut, trade or go after.
It would be amazing to land Elliott as Free Agents and Langdon as Freo trade. Early Xmas!
