agree, Chris Michaelides is best option in VFL. If we look at a rookie type, Todd Banfield from Lions is off-side in Brisbane but has pace and great goal sense.

Daniel Cross. 2 year deal. But I think he would be a monty if he walks, that he would look to go to a top 6 team searching for a premiership. Essendon would be my likely destination.

Howe has huge upside and would excel in a "Hogan" fwd line. He MUST be a keeper. Plus he is exciting. he keeps the kids supporting the Dees

Forget Adams ... GWS or bound to return home to Geelong Horsley - no Liam Anthony - 26yo. ready to go. .. Yes as a PSD#2 option only. Not a trade pick. He GETS the footy and often. Too good for VFL (regularly stars as 30 possessions and influential). Other options: Jarryd Lyons (Crows)- 20yo. Ruckrover. From Sandringham. Squeezed out by Crows mids, Thompson, Sloane, Dangerfield, Vince.etc. Psd #2 Mav Weller - 21 yo- young talented rover. Squeezed out by Ablett, OMeara, Bennell, Prestia etc Psd#2

We will finish above GWS ... no doubt.

Rodan is on the very edge ... just hanging on. His last few games will be critical to whether he is adding value or will be delisted.

In: Strauss, Magner / Grimes (if fit) Out: Dunn, Blease

Coach - Mark "Chocco" Williams Draft: Jesse Hogan to be promoted/eligible. James Magner - promoted rookie #2 Dominic Sheed or Luke Dunstan - both will be stars #20 Billy Hartung - fast skilled small midfielder #40 Zak Jones - . Brother of Nathan Jones. Good skilled, hard HBF. #58 Ryley Hall - midfield - B&F winner Gippsland 2013, playing in Cats in VFL side and hard at it. Jarryd Lyons (Crows) or Liam Anthony (Kangas) or Mitch Hallahan (Hawks) .... midfield addition Matthew Jaensch (Crows) or Todd Banfield to come in as the small forward options Rookies: Mitch Gent (Casey) midfield - proven ballwinner, Dan Noonan (Port melb) FB - very impressive This toughens out our midfield. Priority # 1. Adds tough nuts in Hall & Jones. Adds a proven small fwd goalkicker. Out (8): Bail, Nicholson, Rodan, Gillies, Sellar, Spencer, Joel Macd, Davis (Byrnes hangs in as he has a 2-yr contract)

Mitchell Hallahan #38 Hawthorn Hawks Age: 20yr 10mth Games: 0 Born: August 23, 1992 Height: 183cm Weight: 84kg Position: Midfield Drafted: Round 2, Pick #38 2010 National Draft Draft Bio: Tough inside player (and former amateur boxer) from the Dandenong Stingrays who boasts a penetrating right foot kick. He wins one-on-one contests and is highly-disciplined. Earned All-Australian selection after the 2010 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, after an excellent campaign where he averaged 20 disposals at 66 per cent efficiency with an average of five tackles. The Hawks see some similarities with emerging Richmond star Dustin Martin. 3 years on hawks list. Missed 2011 with injury but came back in 2012 and starred late in the year with some BOG games. Cannot crack a game in 2013 hawks outfit given Lewis, Mitchell, Hodge, Sewell & Whitecross all ahead of him. He should be offered a deal by MFC and a crack in our midfield. He again is starring for the Box Hill Hawks and at 20 would be a good get. Either PSD #2, or trade as a straight swap for Rohan Bail or Daniel Nicholson.

agree 200% ... MFC MUST go for Sheed and/or Dunstan (and Scharenberg) as they are ready to go. Ahead of the skinny but highly skilled Aish, Kelly, Billings.

Agree. Luke Dunstan will be a STAR. I favour Dominic Sheed (WA) slightly over Dunstan but would be happy with either (ecstatic if we got both Dunstan and Sheed). Dunstan is tough, solidly built, good LF kick, 185cms, 84kgs. All the attributes.

Just wanted to REINFORCE the credentials of Dominic Sheed, captain of the WA under 18's. Todays game vs. Vic Country, Sheed has 30 possessions again, 4 goals. BOG by a mile. Solid build , long kick, run, creates, takes on the game... is a STAR

you mean "Luke McDonald" - son of Donald McDonald. It comes to qualifying and Josh Kelly's dad didn't play enough games for Kangas to claim him

I was impressed. Give Jimmy a good run and he will show his talent. Good stuff Jimmy

Hopefully next year we can get more "lead time" for this. maybe nominate it at the start of the year ... I already have plans for that weekend. Also maybe consider it outside of school holidays where airfares are more expensive. Good initiative to carry fwd in 2014+

Josh Kennedy (WC Eagles) !!!!!!

23 June 2013 WAFL update - Potential draftee Dayle Garlett continued his superb season with Swan Districts, booting five goals against South Fremantle. Surely we need stars desperately. Bring in Mark "Choco" Williams and watch him develop this kid.

agree... Schwab was a disaster

agree ... nickname is steak knives. Just an add-on to the deal

Stage 1 is complete. The removal of Schwab, McLardy & Neeld. Stage 2 - the appointments ... Roos must be the # 1 target for MFC coach. No more assistants trying to be senior coaches. We demand a proven premiership winning coach.
