spirit of norm smith

Yes. Very good today. Ruck work. Contests. Good marks. Gave us a target Needs to 1- improve body work and strength 2- kicking for goal (needs work) 3- tackling. Some were good. Some were not good enough

Hogan to be traded. No way. He has the ability to take us to number 1. We must show the loyalty to the group. If his personal issues mean he wants to go home, then we need to consider that. But not looking to offload Jesse. Remember he’s still only 22-23.

Still think in the late 20s the best option is a youngster like Tom McKenzie, Mitch Riordan & Hugo Munn. probably Valente, Duursma & O’Halloran will be gone by 29-32

Yes Goodwins instructional play is handball or short pass until it’s 20 metres out. We are unlikely to kick running goals from 40-50 out even with open goals

Definitely there is a chance MFC will look at mature aged VFL players. Lockhart (Casey) Collins (Werribee) Hore (Collingwood) & Corey Wagner (Casey). All will be drafted or rookied

This is Sam’s time to show his talent. I hope he does

It’s time its time for Sam Weideman we had hoped for a Hogan & Weideman forward combo but tommy McDonald has taken the second key forward role with hogan out for the rest of 2018, Weideman must step up in these next 2 rounds he is ready. He can be the forward we need give Sam the rev up and set him loose

I still think he is a better CHF. Not a full forward. Terrible kicking. Not confident. Has all the physical attributes but mentally on the edge. No comparison to a Wayne Carey. More a Matthew Richardson type. A good player. Yes. Not a great!!

Couldn’t agree more

MFC have to get inspired by Lyles fight. He is one of the finest blokes. Let’s all pray he gets to see us in September and hold up the cup.

Simpson is a donkey moron cheat liar Gaff looked at Brayshaw and hit him INTENTIONALLY 8 Weeks at minimum worse than Bugg and worse than Hall

High impact high contact intentional behind the play 8 weeks

Any thoughts on Sam Walsh he is a natural type outside mid like Darcy Parish but better !! demons maybe should try to package some players and get a early pick Suns pick 2 or 3 likely at seasons end (they make have both if as predicted Lynch goes) Pick 2 and Jack Scrimshaw for Tyson, Frost & ANB ??

He’s not a million a year. That’s a Dangerfield value only.

Offer now has to go up $100,000 a season 5 years at $700k

Probably have 6 off. ((Bugg, Pedersen, vdnberg, Johnstone, JKH, mckenna)) Vince to get one more year. Filipivic off rookie list trade out Dean Kent to Freo (pick 52) get Gaff (eagles) Free agent get Tom Campbell (dogs) trade pick 52 backup ruck We will likely have picks 31, 44,49 + Toby Bedford as Next Generation. Pick 31- Tom Lewis or Mitch Riordan pick 44 - Ely Smith or Lachlan McDonnell (Smokey) pick 49 - perhaps VFL Marty Hore from Collingwood or Charlie Thompson (Tigers) rookie list - add Jay Lockhart (Casey)

Absolutely take May for Tyson and JKH

Smart classy footballers still needed either through draft, FA or trade

Ok. 5- yr deal at $750,000 a year. Beyond that is ridiculous

Dees would have picks 31,44,49 on current ladder positions.

Luke Valente was BOG v Allies. The kid is seriously good. I thought MFC could steal him around the 30 pick but I think he will go top 15-20 now.

It’s a Yes from me. The kid has pace and raw ability. Competitive streak. Fills a small forward role only. He is small and skinny. About 66 kegs and would be behind Spargo in the benchpress. But as a NGA allocation, he is worth a pick 50/60 opportunity.

100% get Gaff. Victorian boy. Barracked for the Dees. Offer a big 5 year deal around $600k a year. Gaff is exactly the connect player we need. Does it both when the Eagles are flying but lifts when others struggle.

Utopia vision.

Toby Bedford keeps impressing as our Next Gen Academy pick. Many clubs this year have father-son, Academy and NGA rights on players, many of which fall in the top 10-30. Mitchell Riordan hurt his hamstring last week and will miss the rest of the championships. Not such a bad thing. He will be a star. All the attributes. Think how Sloane and Parker were end of 2nd round bargains. Riordan is this years bargain as he is likely to slide to 30-35 range.
