MFC choice must be Luke Dunstan .... daylight

Retain Craig in 2014 for development role ...

mids, mids, mids, mids, mids, mids ... we need 5-6 more mids as a priority. Sheed, Aish, Dunstan in round 1 (#2)

Jeff has to put up or shut up. He could be VERY VERY GOOD or VERY VERY BAD ...

a definite chance for the Dees

Not a skinny kid ... Sheed and Dunstan are not skinny (Aish is ...)

Sign him up (posted 4th time). Draft 2014 - father son.

Likely we will have pick #2 in 2013 draft. Whilst our player development is poor, I think we again need one of the best young mids coming through. If you get a chance, get to watch some of Dominic Sheed (WA under 18s) against Tassie. He gets it in contests, runs, creates, takes players on, thumping left footer, and well built. Some has compared to Simon Black, but I think he is more like those type Swans mids. A must GET. A leader. Ready to go round 1 2014. footnote: pick #20 ish - Nathan Freeman (Sandringham), will be around this draft pick and is ready to go, tough, a leader and local kid.

Question is "why" come to Melbourne apart from Money or for fringe players to "get a game". Targets as at 8 June: - Dylan Shiel (GWS) 3years $$$ - Taylor Adams (GWS) 3years $$$ Fringe: - Maverick Weller (Suns) - Liam Anthony (Kangas) - Mitch Hallahan (Hawks) - Jarryd Lyons (Crows) - Aiden Riley (Crows) - Matthew Jaensch (Crows)

Yes support bringing back J-Mcd. Huge MISTAKE in retiring the captain off ... OMG Bailey mistake #12.

as per 3 times already, we need kids that want to play for us. He has talent, the desire and is father son eligible. Sign him up. Good sign that he has made SA under 18s a year ahead of schedule.

this is another throwaway line from a 2nd rate rag. point the finger at Tim Harrington as the list manager.

Donald McDonald IS THE BEST option

8: Chris Dawes 6: James Frawley 4: Nathan Jones 2: Colin Garland -12: Rohan Bail Oh dear, DemonsBail spills a chest mark as Breust kicks his fifth

Tell Gartlett to skip the AFL Draft and we will sign as a PSD #2. He has Huge Talent and we cannot ignore !!

ranked in order Dawes – tough. Marked well. Gave a target. Can move between FF & CHF. 21 disposals, 12 marks and a goal Frawley – great game. Nullified and chased down Franklin N.Jones – only AFL top quality midfielder on our list. 28 disposals and 11 clearances. Garland – held Roughhead. Good game. Howe – not enough but is good AFL standard Watts – must play in Forward 50 Jamar – up to standard. Needs more around the ground. Davey - classy and must play Forward 50 Pederson – solid CHB. Must keep building Trengove - improving Dunn – battled. Terlich – settled in. Strauss – some good. Some bad. Needs to learn to tackle. Evans – hmmm. Battles. Kent – yes some glimpses. Keep in. Tapscott – sub. Got involved. M.Jones – quiet. Fitzpatrick - cause for optimism Rodan – up/down, circles, fumbles, good tackles. Missed sitter of a goal.Hmmm. Macdonald – battled. McKenzie -below required standard (casey??) Bail - was the worst

agree. Keep them in a "winning culture".

Chris Dawes stood up tonight. Well done.

yes agree. Clean sweep.

Terlich Sellar Garland Strauss Pedersen Dunn M.Jones Couch Trengove Taggart Dawes Howe Davey Fitz Watts Jamar Sylvia N Jones Kent, Mckenzie, Tapscott Sub: Evans in- Sylvia, Taggert, Sellar, Couch out - Bail, Rodan, J Macd, Frawley (inj) Sellar in for Frawley Taggert - lets see him... Sylvia - thank you 3 weeks have gone Couch - deserves a go. We need more in & under. Make or break J Macd - love him, but a battler Rodan - OMG , fumbles, runs in circles Bail - falls over, misses tackles, fumbles. Keep walking & delist.

No strategy. No development. No inspiration. No wins (well one agst the GWS after 30 mins of footy) IMO, Neeld must go.

Only ostriches stick their heads in the sand ... and you !!

Tommorrow 33000 MFC members will anticipate a flogging from the Hawks. 10 goals defeat would be ...Ok. 90 points ... expected. 120 points ... probable. 150 points - Neeld can pack up. I hate accepting and expecting to lose. I love footy, but am envious of other clubs. I want a contest, respect, a chance of a win. Not a dead duck footy season. The dead years of 2007-12 were at least giving some hope, with draft picks expected to create or regenerate the "premiership dream " of a side for MFC. 2013 is an empty season.

Develop Gawn, Taggert, Tynan, Toumpas, Kent (and of course Hogan) all at Casey this year. They will get a winning feel and play alongside each other.
