Demon Jack

Greatest MFC player I've seen in my time supporting the club. I wouldn't put it past him to contend for a ninth AA next year which gets him into uncharted territory. Contracted until 2027, but realistically, how much longer can he go on for? Hopefully the heir apparent will be in place by then.

It feels as though Trent still has another gear or two left in him. I don't want to say he's stagnated, but it's clear that playing him primarily off half back hasn't done his development much good when he's shown tremendous ability in the midfield. Here's hoping King can bring out the best in Rob next season and onwards.

Freo have picks 11, 29, 38, 47 and 65. Would a straight swap for 29 get it done? I wonder if we can push for pick 11 by sending over an extra pick or two?

Which is odd considering you'd expect someone like Max Gawn would be pretty handy to learn from.

Has never taken the next step after his 2021 finals series heroics. Doesn't win enough ball as a midfielder and doesn't kick enough goals as a half forward. Here's hoping King can bring the best out of Sparrow next season.

$990k is pretty excessive for someone who averaged 15 touches, 4 marks and 2 tackles this season. Yikes.

Wow, Saints are really going all in on next season. De Koning, Silvagni, Aleer, Ryan and Flanders. This has the potential to blow up in their face and set them back a decade if they're not careful.

Frostball circa 2018-19 was a fun time. I think he'll find plenty of suitors if he wants to play on for a fourth club.

Probably not going to be a game breaker at AFL level but I think he should've featured more in the senior side this season. Loved his game against the Swannies where he set up 2-3 goals with little taps and handpasses.

Final MFC vote tally Max Gawn - 23 Christian Petracca - 16 Kysaiah Pickett - 10 Jack Viney - 8 Jake Bowey - 3 Christian Salem - 3 Jake Melksham - 2

Kozzy also hit double digits for the first time in his career!

As much as I hate reliving THAT moment... NWM not polling the three votes is the shock of the night.

Murphy Reid looks ecstatic to be there doesn't he? 😂

Fourth place: Harvey Langford Camera cuts to Dan Curtain. Typical

Maxy polling pretty well. Should comfortably top his record of 20 if he keeps it up.

MOTY should include great marks taken in finals. Heeney's mark in the Sydney final last year was far and above anything that was taken during the year. Elliot also should be in contention for his mark on the weekend.

Most underwhelming MOTY nominees for some time. Of course Darcy had to win 🙄. I think we've had MOTY taken against us more times over the last decade than any other team.

Gawn won the best on ground medal on ANZAC Eve yet can only manage 2 votes from the umpires. Happy for Bowey to get the three though. Played a ripper that night.

Viney with the three votes in round 1 is a surprise.

Will definitely need to win his spot back with Allen coming in. Gallop looked mighty impressive last night as well.

Gee it's frustrating to see teams like Brisbane pick up key forwards with late picks like Morris and Gallop and watching them thrive, while guys like Jefferson have barely had a taste of AFL football and haven't looked at the level required. I like Mihocek, and desire his efforts tonight, I genuinely think he'll be good for us next season. But relying on him, a 34 year old Jake Melksham and once again Fritta (I expect Kozzy's contribution to dry up with more midfield time) to kick our goals should be a wake up call to the recruiting department who have been drafting our key forwards with early picks of late.

As much as I can't stand Geelong, christ almighty they are the epitomy of a classy, professional and well run club. I wouldn't want to play them next week...

A late second rounder would be a great result considering Spargo's recent history with injury.

A decent contributor but let's be real, North will demand the world for him which will be significant overs and far more than a player of his 'average' caliber is worth. Probably worth a late first rounder at most. Pass.

I believe that if we feel we're not receiving fair value for Trac, we then hold him to his contract. Trac has effectively been the one to 'blink first' as it were by declaring that he's open to an interstate move, which is good for us in regards to our options. We can sit back and see what clubs have to offer. We're not forcing him out. We'll only contemplate the trade if the price is right.
