agreed. Joel McD gives 100% all the times. others could follow his example.

finally some straight answers as much as possible. neeld still talks in riddles.

Recruit 5-6 mids in the off season, including 3 current AFL 1sts players. Daisy Thomas, Dylan Shiel, Dion Prestia are all key targets

I reckon 9.6 from Buddy. He may beat us (whole MFC score) head to head !!!

Likely... Backs Sellar Panozza L Tynan Half backs J Tynan Gillies Davis Centreline Nicholson Couch Toumpas Half forwards Taggert Spencer Smith Forwards Nicholls Hogan Blease Followers Gawn Magner Gent Interchange (from) Best Clisby Hillard* Hughes Matthews Get down and checkout Tom Cuuran for the Zebs. I have seen him 3 times and would like MFC to nab him before the Saints do. Has real zip and smarts around goal.

The line in the sand ... maybe this week. I fear the worst 100+ thrashing again

Liam Anthony has had minor injuries and is behind Ziebell, Adams, Cunnington & Swallow in North inside mid role. Has 33+ possies in VFL in last 2 weeks and dominated.

Davis disposal is improving but still has major 3-4 turnovers a game !!

moving on ...spoke to a mate at work today who is a hawks supporter. He rates Shane Savage highly but he has been squeezed out by Breust and even can't crack a game with Rioli out inured. Given hawks have Hill & Anderson coming through, Hawks would jump at Savage for pick 38. Win/win.

Sellar - gone Nicho - gone/trade J Macd - gone Davis - gone Bail - gone /trade Davey - gone (hopefully as a free agent) Rodan - gone Spencer - GONE that's 8 OUT. Bring in Shiel & pick 55 (tde#2), Prestia (#tde20), Savage (trade#38), Liam Anthony (trade for Nicho), add Hogan and Magner, add Draftees #55 & #56 (Jake Lever and Jarman Impey). Now that's a strategy

Don McL:ardy - President GONE Mark Neeld – Senior Coach GONE Tim Harrington – General Manager - List Management 50/50 Todd Viney - General Manager - Player Development & Strategy KEEP Neil Craig - Director Of Sports Performance GONE Josh Mahoney – Football Manager GONE Jade Rawlings – Backline Coach GONE Brian Royal - Midfield Coach GONE Leigh Brown – Forward Line Coach KEEP David Misson – Elite Performance Manager KEEP

No

1- Roos 2- Worsfold 3- Mark Williams (Choco) 4- Eade 5- Ratten 6- Laidley 7- Ayres 8- Mark Harvey 9- Knights 10- Sheedy We MUST get a prior AFL coach.

5-Year deal for Hogan. 4-Year deal for Worsfold. 4-year deal for Shiel. 3-Year deal for Prestia. 2-Year deal for Sylvia to end 2015. 2-Year extension to Frawley to end 2016. Now we are talking. Watts to Carlton for pick 10 please ...

The core: Frawley, Howe, Clark, Sylvia, Nathan Jones, Trengove, Grimes, Dawes, Garland Add:(likely) Viney, Hogan, Toumpas, Gawn, Tapscott, Matt Jones, Tom McDonald Sorry but Jack Watts is NOT on my list. Available to suitors now.

Dylan Shiel, 20 year old. Strong midfielder. Good pace and excellent stoppage work. "A" grade disposal, including long left foot. He was drafted to the Giants with one of their pre-selections in the 2010 draft. under 18's record: For Dandenong at TAC Cup level in 2010 he played seven matches with his averages again all elite, recording 30 disposals, 10 handball receives and 12 groundball gets per match. His 13 contested possessions per match also ranked number one in the competition Trade for pick 2 or 3 whatever it takes.

Watts as a forward for 8 weeks. If he does not crack it as our 3rd tall, then he can be traded. He need more forward options. Its now or never. He lacks the intensity as a half back. His chase is poor, tackling is non existent. Sweeper role is the soft option.

sign Billy up NOW

Controversy... Swap 2 to GWS for Dylan Shiel Swap 20 to Suns for Dion Prestia Swap 38 to Hawks for Shane Savage or Mitch Hallahan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X – Sellar, J Macd, Davis, Gillies, Davey, Bail, Spencer, Rodan, Watts to Freo for pick 12 (-9) ADD: - Hogan to main list - Free agent - Draft: 12, 54, 73 (Magner) - Psd 2

Dom Barry has footy smarts. But too light, needs more pace and intensity. Still a way to go before his selection is seen as a positive.

Two skinny kids ??????? why???????? Crouch, Dunstan and Scharenberg are ready to go.

Watts for pick 12 (Freo's 1st pick ) ... YES. It's sad to say he lacks what we need. hard work ethic. It was all too easy for him as a youngster.
