Tolstoys Nudge

well said! Wheels is a great asset! has alot of composure.. Dunno who doubted him, but its grat that he is showing them what he adds to this side!

LOl! Relax mate.. I said its tongue and cheek!! and there are no errors! I know its been said before, but Gill just looked so good today, I wanted to express it!

If he does not get it this week, the club needs to call Garry Lyon and tell him to QUIT his NAB involvement.. Awesome today, and there in NOT ! player out of last years draft id rather have, he's the pick! Remember, is far ahead of schedule, wasnt supposed to be this good yet, just wait till he bulks up, and gets another pre-season into his body and refines his kicking even more! lookout!

Today was the worst ive ever seen! umps trying to even out the tanking? Seriously, if this wasnt such a dead rubber, this would be HUGe news, and an outrage, imagine if it was Collingwood, but, that would NEVER happen, would it!

Lol.. I know what you mean, but it set them up to become the side they are, thats the point.. Remeber, the moral here is, you dont trade no.1 pick in a draft like this away for a bloke who still has question marks, both with his overall ability on the big stage, and whetehr he can get his body right!

Will White be right? OR Could big Meeson get an unlikely run?? He is slowly getting better, will get a go next year, no doubt, no chance to be delisted, hasd such athletisicsm, that he does need to really be given every chance! I hope they don't ask Stef to help out, id rather just give Meeson a run! Jeff, well breing a great club man, appreciate all he's done, but again, id rather see Meeson thrown in!

Yes, I know its been said before, but I still think its intersesting, especially with Gill's performance today! we need a quality target up forward: Nick Gill, what a great game he had today, 20 disp, 11 marks, 5 goals! A good solid ruckman who can kick goals: Darren Jolly A midfielder who can play inside & outside, and hurt the opostion by foot, and kick goals: Scott Thompson (still hurts I know, but was always gonna go..) A midfielder/flanker, who has quality finishing and good disposal: Travis Johnstone (still a good trade in hindsight, but, still..) An older staunch defender, to lead and help develop the Garland, Martin/Warnock Brigade: Nathan Bassett Notice a common theme here guys? Aint hindsight a wonderful thing... Bit of tongue and cheek, but very interesting none the less!! And don't forget, a little off track, as he was never a demon, but the Sewell for Ferguson trade (which WE backed out of, at last second, no matter what others have heard, thats what happened, Fergy wanted to stay, so we gave it up.. still really grates at me, but what are ya gonna do..

Worst suggestion ever!! requires no rebbutal! serioulsy, u dill!

I think the other thread, posted 1min earlier by demons4eva counts, but i'll put mine here aswell.. 6 - Cale Morton 5 - Paul Wheatley 4 - Brad green 3 - James Mcdonald 2 - Cameron Bruce 1 - Michael Newton Buckley unlucky, ditto Martin.. Juice was graet, and gave alot of great chases's.. was really good t see.. should of kicked 4 or 5! Cale was simply awesome, cant wait for him after another pre-season, well ahead of schedule, a real geniune superstar in the making, lets hope we can keep him when the time comes.. im sure we will though!

Grat point, and well said.. This is my point! what has he done at AFL level?? not alot, yes hasnt had a hell of alot of chances, but enough! Absolutely NO ONE inside the league would give a top 5 pick in this draft for him, let alone no.1!

Id say it made them alright! Imagine them without, Ablett, Kelly, Bartel???

NO! He is currently inj, but has played 7 or 8 games this year! HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR PICK ! OF A NATIONAL DRAFT, END OF STORY! Especially not a draft being compared to the 2001 superdraft! I dont care what he has done in VFL anyway, what has he done ata AFL level? NOT MUCH! He does not seem to of improved.. I cant beleive im even bothering to discuss this, its completely ludicrous! Laughable!

Not a bad effort.. But MORE will happen.. Meeson not going ANYWHERE! beleive it! Sylvia for Davey, im slowly warming to it! Bell will be traded IMO, Jericho from Crows is a rumour atm!

I am hearing everywhere Brad is on his way elsewhere.. its a 50/50 apparently.. It will depend on what is on offer.. Hawks, Saints and Pies all over him allegedly.. Will be interesting to see, but I think he may stay if offered the C gig!

No aggression is NEVER a good thing, stupid comment! However, im not saying Watts doesnt have any, too hard 2 tell!! As for the Hawkins deal, what a joke, no chance, no thanks! Lonergan is cats prefferd option right now, Hawkins not even really dominating at VFL.. I also have HUGE concerns with Tomahawk! He seems to be very passive, cant really play anywhere other than the goal square, and has not really improved at all from year to year! Watts is twice the prospect, I cant beleive anyone would even consider this, its ridiculous!

Bode?? No chance! and no thanks! Carroll may get a repreive, for trade value, and the fact that he was named in best! for me: Out: PJ (gone 4 season, lucky Jeff) Bartram Jones Wonaemirri (rest) In: Davey Garland Jamar Miller Petterd, to replace 1 of davey/Garland/Miller as they wont ALL be right!

I would have, but Harvey has it sewn up now! shame 4 PJ that the game was so crap!.. If it was a close one, he might have got it, but the commentary and such was awful!

We have a few players who could be "superstars".. Most likely will be Morton & Garland, he could be one of the great backmen! While Cale could truly be a grat player, wherever he ends up! he has got alot of good judges buzzing.. Yes, we have got some big injuries, however Bell, as mentioned earlier, is not in our best 25, let alone 18!!

I actually think SYlvia for Davey would be more in EFC favour.. No.3 draft pick, who has the skill, and although he has been disappointing, still has a higher overall worth of davey.. I think we'd take a deal like that if they added a mid pick! I think Alwyn would be great, but im not saying he's a star either! We'll just have to see if we make an offer..

Heard today from someone who's word I respect, he has spoken to the club about whether we'd be interested in his services.. Id heard a couple of rumours last week, but this is good info.. He initiated contact apparently.. Just coming back from a new, but he would IMO surely have to be welcomed at MFC! STill young, so fits recruitment policy, and the knee is apparently healing well! This will be interesting to follow!

Good to see mcnamara playing! I look the look of him, was youngest player in last years draft! Petterd will play..

Well said.. Never was not going to go on, why wouldnt he??? Hope he gets a good pre-season into him and when fully fit, a real key!

Im glad to see chopper Carroll in! Just 2 give him a go, maybe give him a shot at getting another go elsewhere!

Love ur work!!! This is just so amazing! I love this club!
