PREGAME: Rd 20 vs St. Kilda
My tip is a Moir-type young or no-name player who we don't bother to do our homework on, who then runs amok - Collard for mine, then Sharman if Collard doesn't play.

Judd McVee contract
I doubt he was only offered two years. I suspect he was offered a range of options and he preferred/settled on the two year deal. It's not uncommon for players to do that until they hit free agency.

The Kalani White Thread
Didn't expect to see Kalani or Sinnema in the Top 25

Trade Targets
Ahead of his 'run in the firsts' is Taylor, Buckley, Idun, Himmelberg and Aleer. I'd be happy to take a punt given our key defensive stocks.

PREGAME: Rd 19 vs Carlton
The main thing I want to see is: Out: Lever (managed) Dress up his omission with 'managed,' give him the week off. He can come back via Casey. He's clearly lost mobility. May or Adams to replace. Kolt and Windsor have no fitness/form but are our future. Spargo for Sparrow. Not sure about the rest.

CASEY: Rd 16 vs Werribee
Agree with your thoughts on Howes. I thought he defended well, tackled strongly and intercepted everything. He controlled the backline (I'd like to see Adams do the same). My knock on Howes game was he didn't really do much with the footy after he won it. Sideways kicks or turnovers down the line. He came to the Dees with strong kicking skills and needs to add that polish to his game going forward.

Trade Targets
I read somewhere that Worpel is going to Geelong. Either way, he's a questionable kick and we have an oversupply of those.

PREGAME: Rd 1 6 vs Gold Coast
I understand where you're coming from too DOF - the logic was I assume to top up the miles in his legs at Casey.

PREGAME: Rd 1 6 vs Gold Coast
Not sure how Harry Sharp gets a gig here. He was unsighted at Casey last game. I assume it's the sub vest again for him on the back of his casual jog v Essendon VFL.

Training Ground?
The article on the AFL website mentions conducting AFL umpire programs at Waverley. I was hoping that would be a factor in getting Caulfield over the line for us. afl.com.auBack in AFL hands: League buys Waverley Park from HawksThe historic venue has returned to the AFL's possession after a deal to purchase the Hawks' training base

MFC CEO MIA
Cameron Schwabb was even more strongly favoured by the AFL. That ended up well!

Training Ground?
Guerra has a massive commitment overseeing the World Chamber of Commerce Conference (or whatever it is) event to be hosted by Melbourne Chamber of Commerce. I suspect the MFC has deferred his involvement in the Caulfield Racecourse developments (or is keeping him at arms length) until he is clear of this. But if you wanted to write a sensationalist article, you could frame it as The Age has. As Superunknown has suggested, there may be other complicating things in play too. As Garry Lyon has stated more than once, we sooo need to ferret out the leaks in this club.

POSTGAME: Rd 14 vs Port Adelaide
When the coaches go through the game footage with each player as they do, surely May would see himself gobbing off, left, right and centre as he always does and think 'Geez, I look like a prize [censored],' but clearly, he doesn't.
