spirit of norm smith

Neeld's f@#kup... he overruled Todd Viney. Neeld setback the club by 5-6 years. Wines was the obvious choice.

Agreed. Remember Dangerfield was a punt for the Crows at pick 10. Many had the 17yo Geelong Anglesea boy at 14-20 in his year. "Burst of pace but needs more posessions" !!!!

Your comparision is ridiculous. Those rookie players never had class. (shall I say Dangerfield, Martin, Wines,Oliver vs. Nicholson, Evans, Rhys Healy, Cam Johnston). Fu#$@$. My point was bonafide top 10 picks. The silk or the competitor. That's the call. That's the point

Watts, Scully, Toumpas, Parish OR Dangerfield, Martin, Wines, Oliver You choose which type MFC should pursue.

Yes a beast competitor like Oliver who is skilled, tackles and kicks goals. Parish is good but Oliver is better.

Surely MFC chooses Oliver ahead of Parish. Oliver is like Wines... a COMPETITOR.

Yes great to see a forward line in our 2017 finals campaign as: Kent Weideman Vince Gartlett Hogan Petracca Weideman is good enough to be a key fwd in the AFL within 2 years

Tucker is... Tough . He is not a receiver. Fast. As quick as any in the under 18s. Skilled. Can kick 50 metres plus easily and hit a target. (Weitering Schache Parish Francis Curnow and Weideman are top 6). Option for pick 7. Better than Balic, Mathieson and Oliver.

Yes almost a clone of Boyd. Worthy of pick 7.

Parish is quick, skilled and competitive midfielder. What MFC needs.

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
