I am in the bar ... if you are at home "Turn off the TV before you smash it".

Fitness coach to be sacked. Howe dropped. and traded. Garland dropped. and gone.

2nd quarter. Mcdonald and Howe create turnover. Carlton goal. Cross left foot out of defence. Carlton shot 25m. Miss !!

2nd quarter Hogan stupid 50 !! Lamumba crashes pack and gets injured. His man stayed down for crumbs. Howe is crap. Left foot kick out of defence to Carlton player.

1st quarter. Fuc^&$ Hopeless. Blues 38 to 8. Fumbles. Slips. not desparate. Slow. Not urgent for the footy. Can Hogan kick it over 40 !! Watts miss from 25 metres. Against the BOTTOM Team !!!! useless Cross has fumbled 4 times. Viney has slipped over 4 times. Handball 4 times in a circle. Tackles 15 to 5.

Need more... Pendlebury to walk out on Collingwood !@

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)

Yes Frawley is struggling. Not deserved of a game but the hawks are paying him $$$$ bigtime. His disposal is average.

Can we pickup Jake as a pre selected rookie?

Yes yes and yes. Delisted free agent. He is strong determined and skilled. Good leadership. Probably prefer to go to Tigers or Hawks but he would be handy. 29yo but has 4-5 years ahead.

Straight swap for Howe Yes !!!

Bonner is a lock if available at pick 25 ish MFC 2nd round if we keep it. But likely to be pick 15-18. Hawks, Eagles and Freo would jump at this kid.

Agree Kennedy should be in MFC sights...

Yes a trade for 2nd round #24 pick. Or swap Howe for Redden !!

Mach 5 ... read 2015 Draft: Phantom form guide update from Twomey. He rates Tucker highly. Physically ready, pace, great skills.

worth having a punt...

Watch Darcy Tucker. Best player in the draft.

I liked Shuey. I liked Wines. I liked Greenwood. I lliked Brayshaw and Petracca. Tough kids. Not Grgic, Morton, Toumpas types. TUCKER is a ready made mid. Remember Joel Selwood. Great as an underager. Poor under 18 year so drafted at pick 7... the rest is history.

I watched some of the Roosters v Cats VFL game recently. DARCY TUCKER has pace, skills and toughness. Mixed in with ease. Nice left footer in mould of Hawks crop.

Assume no trades, here is my likely picks ... Get 1st round - Darcy Parish, Darcy Tucker, Rhys Mathieson or Harley Balic (all mids) Get 2nd round - Luke Partington or Jake Gresham (small mids), Mitch Hibberd or Brandon White (rebounding half backs) Get 3rd round - Dylan Smith (big forward from WA who can ruck or stay as a key forward) or Callum Moore (big CHF from Calder... potential untapped) Get 4th round - Yestin Eades, Blake Hardwick, Ben Crocker or Aidyn Johnson (mid/sml goalkicking fwds)

Goodwin will take the coaching on match day in 2016.

Ins. Salem, Tyson, JKH, Mitch White. Outs. Bail (never to play again) M Jones, Jetta, Lamumba. Grimes Mcdonald Dunn Salem Garland Cross Brayshaw Viney Michie Vince Dawes Howe Gartlett Hogan Jkh Gawn Tyson N.Jones Neal-Bullen, White, Harmes sub.Watts

Ridiculous thread. Lock it administration and move on ... Jonesy is a great leader. Poorly let down by others.

White must come in

Agree
