agree Prestia is our goal for end of 2016

I am still hoping for Treloar... he would bring us into finals contention in 2016 IMO

All quiet today but in my opinion I think: Howe to Pies Dees get Kennedy and pick 29 Melksham to Dees Pick 29 to Bombers Toumpas to Port for pick 31 Bugg to Dees for pick 46 Draft 6, 26, 31 (Charlie Curnow, Thomas Cole, Ben Mckay) Get Kennedy, Bugg, Melksham Lose Howe, Toumpas and pick 46

Howe for Suns pick 19. Toumpas to Power, Moore (or Young) to Bombers and Melksham to Dees. Kennedy & Pies pick 47 to Dees for pick 27. Bugg to Dees for pick 47 Get Melksham, Bugg & Kennedy & ND19 Release Howe and Toumpas Draft picks #6 (Charlie Curnow) #19 (Ryan Clarke) #45 (Kurt Mutimer). Upgrade Harmes and Vandenburg.

Moore to Bombers Melksham to Dees Toumpas to Power fair ??

Agree we need to build more. Fingers crossed that Trengove gets back. Petracca on field is a gun. That's "two recruits" (say our prayers). Aim for 10 wins minimum in 2016. Then bring in Prestia and finals IMO in 2017.

agree top 5 prospect... likely to go to Suns or Bombers.

Welcome aboard. He will bring more pace to the midfield.

Agree. Neeld mistake # 9. Wines would have been chisen under Roos. Salem, Brayshaw and Petracca. Ni backward steps from these guys.

its a yes from me. DFA bargain

Melksham for MFC #45... in a weak draft, thats fair

Trade for 4th round #65... thats his worth !!

Retired. Cross Traded. Howe Delisted. M Jones, Bail, Riley, Terlich, Fitz, Hunt (Hunt to re-rookie) * probably keep Toumpas & Garland Rookie retained. White & King 8 spots available Upgrade. Vandenburg and Harmes Trade in. Adam Tomlinson DFA. Jed Adcock Mfc draft choices. #5 (Harley Balic), #45 (Aidyn Johnson) #65 (Nash Holmes) #85 (Yestin Eades) Rookie #5, #23 (Hunt)

Patton for pick 5 anyone...

Here is how our best 22 could look for 2016... Jetta Frost Dunn Lamumba T.Mc Salim Michie Viney Vince Kent *TOMLINSON Petracca Gartlett Hogan *LYNCH Gawn Brayshaw N.Jones Tyson ANB Stretch Watts Depth. Utilities. Cross Grimes Newton *Bugg JKH VDNBERGER Harmes Trengove (hopeful)Hunt Depth. Ruck.Spencer Jamar Depth. Key position. Dawes Pedersen O.Mcd Rookies White King +2 ...*Callum Moore,*Jake Lovett Draftees. *Balic *Clarke *Gresham *Mutimer

Outs(9). Howe-Giants(trade 1) Toumpas-Crows (trade 2) Garland (FA) bail m.jones mckenzie terlich fitz riley Promoted. Harmes VDNberg Ins. Tomlinson - Giants(trade 1) Tom Lynch - Crows(trade 2) Tom Bugg DFA. Thats the CHF, Half fwd and tough onball tagger. draft picks 5 (Harley Balic), 25 (Ryan Clarke),26 (Jake Gresham), 45 (Kurt Mutimer). Thats a skilled ruck rover, x factor midfielder, high possession rover and skilled running half back.

weekly update. Toumpas trade ... for Lynch from Crowd Howe trade ... for Cutler from Lions Garland can go Delist- M Jones Mckenzie Bail Riley Terlich Fitz minus 8 ...

Update... Toumpas swap for Sam Kerridge (Crows) Howe swap for Jarrod Redden (Lions) Swap MFC 2nd round pick for Ben Kennedy (Magpies) DFA Jed Adcock delist. Bail Riley Mckenzie M Jones Terlich Fitz Jamar (ret) Upgrade Vdberger Harmes draft picks 5 (Harley Balic), 43 (Ryan Clarke),61 (*Aaron Black delisted Kangaroo)

Agree targets for me are Tomlinson and Prestia. Outs are Howe and Toumpas. Prestia = Suns get MFC Pick 4 Tomlinson = Giants get Jeremy Howe Crows pick 10 = Toumpas and MFC pick 22 Draft picks 10, 40, 58. Ins - Prestia, Tomlinson, Harmes (rookie upgrade) and Vandenburg (rookie upgrade) 10, 40, 56, FA, Dfa. Outs- Howe Toumpas Bail M.Jones Riley Mckenzie, Fitz Terlich Jamar (ret)

On todays form in the VFL, Hunt should earn another year on the list. His pace is appealing. To update the likely list turnover: Gone - Mckenzie, Bail, Fitz, M Jones/ Riley, Terlich. Retired - Jamar Likely trade - Toumpas, Howe.

Prestia and Trent Mckenzie in for picks 5 and 23. Ballwinner to midfield and a 60metre quarterback to the half back or wing position. Thoughts??

Prestia comes out of contract at the end of 2016. but MFC SHOULD MAKE A MOVE NOW !! MFC gets Prestia and Suns pick 20 Suns get pick 4 and Jeremy Howe. Win win outcome.

Retired: Jamar Delist: M.Jones Mckenzie Bail Terlich Fitzpatrick Upgrade: vandenBurg Harmes Draft: 5, 23, 41, 59. Look to bring in a free agent and draft 3 players. It is a shallow draft this year.

Josh Kelly and pick 46 (3rd round pick) to Demons Pick 5 to GWS any backers !!!

Great first 7-8 games. Was B&F favourite. After the last 4 games, if Sam Frost was fit, Tom's position may be questioned. He needs work on his disposal... Please!!! in todays AFL, his disposal can be a killer
