Farewell Sam Frost
We’re all aware of Frost’s pro’s and cons, I really hope we keep him.
-
Finals Week 2
What I take from that is he’s happy for someone to clean him up come next weekend.

The 2019 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
How good is King? We still need midfield class if we are serious about competing. I understand scoring was an issue this year but I believe that can be addressed easier than our midfield problems.

Jamie Elliott
I’d like to think we’re still looking at drafting in some small forwards. Always need to have an eye to the future as well as the present.

Ben King
If Kings that good trade Petracca for him and keep our early pick.

Farewell Sam Frost
Would love Frosty to stay. Yes his disposal at times is a concern, if we had some more class around him this wouldn’t be such an issue. I often wonder where our salary cap goes looking at our list we must have a few players cleaning up.

Finals Week 1
Who kicked Collingwood’s goals? Dusty kicked 6. J Kelly 3 , Greene 3, Finlayson 3, Cameron 4 Cripps 4 , Kennedy 4, Ryan 3 If we get pick 2 we need to get some midfield class. Would go pick up 2 small forwards also.

Rioli, Ryan, Rioli, Ryan, Ryan, Rioli, Rioli, Rioli, Ryan, Rioli, Ryan.... Stuff one small fwd, we need two.

Welcome to Demonland - Alan Richardson
I understand your perspective on this however after seeing Green take part in the EJ Whitten it should be revisited. Green should be sought out for a role as little as two days a week for a couple of hours a day to help the players with their kicking. When Green played he was such an accurate shot on goal from multiple angles. A great player I really enjoyed watching play.

Lachie Whitfield
2 small forwards.

Josh Bruce
I’d be targeting two small fwds Wise, when Liam Ryan and Willie Rioli are on it’s a pleasure to watch. Pace, skilful, kick goals and both can take a decent mark. Then there’s the tackling. Also if drafting as opposed to trading for them I go after three using all our late picks/rookie draft. We have to allow they all won’t make it.

The calumny of the AFL's priority pick policy
Great point, Petracca pick 2 : no Kelly pick 2 : yes There’s no guarantees.

Official Delistings?
Nobody panic, the club just posted some feel good crap on FB. A season to own, learn from + respond to. We’re in this together. #Myheartbeatstrue Well that explains everything....who’s ground?
-
Official Delistings?
What is our culture? Is he not in part responsible for the fact we don’t have any?
-
Official Delistings?
Owe him what? What would he add if he stayed on? Certainly not leadership or class, we cant afford any passengers no matter how “feel good” the story is In a perfect world everyone gets to play 300 games.
-
Official Delistings?
Are we keeping Jones purely to get him to 300 games. Anyone see Hawthorn last night....

Round 23 Non MFC Games
Ryan and Rioli, both so exciting to watch, both electric and skilful. We don’t need one small crumbing forward, we need two.

Angus Brayshaw to Fremantle Rumours
The gist of Petracca’s meeting was meant to be about more time in the middle. What would of Brayshaw’s been about?
-
Welcome to Demonland - Alan Richardson
I read a few weeks back that Brad Green sadly lost his wife. Was he an assistant at any club? He could kick straight.

Angus Brayshaw to Fremantle Rumours
He’s got currency or he’s on par with Tyson, which one is it?
-
Angus Brayshaw to Fremantle Rumours
Well....this is it Bub, we sit here and debate who we’d like to poach from other sides with little thought to our players who may want out or are other clubs radars.

New Captain
No this season wasn’t great for him, but last year was. He was out early last year but I liked the way he went about it upon his return. This season showed us that pre season talk means nothing, all the chanting and back slapping equated to nothing. Honestly do players other than 1st - 3rd year players really need a leadership group. Players should be independently mature and have the drive to succeed. By waiting until rd 6 we would see who is actually serious.
-
Angus Brayshaw to Fremantle Rumours
I’d be disappointed if we offered him up.
-
New Captain
Gawn as Captain Brayshaw as Vice As for the leadership group, I’d be waiting until about rd 6 for that.

New Captain
Not sure why you posted this. Some people saw Hogan as the best young key fwd in the game, a 50 goal per season fwd who was going to dominate the competition for years. Some of us saw him as the fwd that kicked all his goals against bottom 8 sides, couldn’t take a pack mark, went missing in big games and had a questionable goal kicking action. Petracca also has his fans and his critics, I’ve seen enough of him to think he’s tradable.
