out. Jones in. Gawn

WTF. I have started to enjoy footy again. Jones out 4-6 weeks. Watts doubtful. Hibberd pulled up sore and in doubt this week. Stretch and JKH on the plane as standbys this week. Thank god big Max is back.

Agree. Eagles are all big bodied mature types. The contested footy will be crucial... Priddis and Shuey usually tear us up. We can beat them IF THE UMPS GIVE US A FAIR GO.

He was very good today. Very important to our push to the finals.

Yes more stars still required. Pacy Midfielder gun would be nice ... Luke Shuey type. Slot in on the wing. You can never have enough stars.

tough this week 6 Hibberd 5 T.mcd 4 Pedersen 3 Jetta 2 o.mcd 1 salem lots of others unlucky to miss out

Another one year contract likely. He is a footballer playing to stay on the list. Great work Pedo. You are a CHF/FF in rotation with Jesse Hogan. Big heart. Weed stays under development.

in. Spencer / Gawn out. Harmes

6 Jones 5 Petracca 4 Hunt 3 Tyson 2 Watts 1 Pedersen

FFS. enough said. weak as...

Col is a great guy. Very smart and perfect fit for coaching. Paul Roos like guy. Will get players on board with his messages. Not sure how he goes to be retained for 2018. Unlikely IMO.

Daisy is a champion footballer. Plus she is a champion person. Humble. Well spoken. Professional. Fully knowledgeable about footy. Serious crush from me.

A big disappointment. I had him making a difference in 2017. Fingers crossed.

Too soon... we are still focussed on finals footy.

Freo is the danger. They can win 12 or 13 games. Derby v eagles will be huge.

hope Jesse back soon... he will add another key to our finals push

FFS. how did the Kangas beat us. Tigers just booked a finals spot. Only spot by my calcs to be changed from current top 8 is Freo. Have to hope Eagles beat them in their "Derby".

Harriet Cordner is back. She showed some spark.

Unfortunately for Jack, his position as a 5th midfielder role as occupied by Dom Tyson. Jack would be the perfect mid if Tyson/Lewis got injured. Jack is a high quality young man. His injury was a cruel setback. He played 80 games in his first 4 years (aged 19 to 22), and was a premier midfielder. His injury in 2014 was another MFC curse. Without complaints, he plays with all his heart at Casey and IS A LEADER at that level this year. I can see another club taking a free hit if Jack was delisted, most likely Adelaide or even the Hawks. But a return to Sturt in SANFL is on the cards. I do hope we see Jack back on the MCG even if he gets just one more opportunity. He is a great clubman.

agree. Offer 5 year deal $2.5mil and see if the Crows try to match it. Worth 1st and 2nd picks in exchange for Lever and Crows 2nd rounder.

more than likely we will look at the big West Indian fast bowler Joel Garner

Yes agree... Salem is available and will need a run , hopefully in the midfield to showcase his talent.

agree. Salem in. Hogan more than likely. Gawn not ready so Spencer may be preferred. Out. Wagner for Salem O.mcd if Hogan fit (T.mcd goes back)

Great game v Suns by Mitch. Reminds me of Peter Vardy. Great opportunist forward or half fwd link player.

OMAC had a iffy game. Some good spoils and long clearances but still 5-6 heartstoppers that will be costly if they continue. His disposal is always 50/50. May was very good. Strong marks and solid disposals.
