Farewell Josh Mahoney
Lamb does the pick trading. I'm a fan of Mahoney and prefer him to Richo in the role, but I get that Pert wants him out since they went for the same job.

King: Move Salem Up the Ground
Salem has a very distinctive running gait. He has a very short stride and a quicker step. For that reason alone, he doesn't strike me as suited to the wing, even if he can clock up the kms. It's quite the opposite of your hard runner's longer stride eg. Langdon, Kelly, Whitfield

New Head of Strength & Conditioning
I'm pretty sure we've had a psychologist at the club for the last ten years and more. Some players use them, others don't. I would like to think they have input into improving the mindset/resolve of the group, but it's not leaping out at me. The woman at Richmond was/is something like a mindfulness coach or whatever they're called.

Pies reneging on a deal? Lol

Club lists finalised with further signings
I cant remember what happened with Bradtke. Is he still with us? I don't recall him being delisted and we couldn't go into 2021 with just Max.

2020 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca
Absolute GUN Brilliant year and he should be very happy with what he's achieved. I think he has another level, which would be phenomenal!

Rumour only file ...
Petracca's just had a birds eye view of how the Pies promise the world then do a runner. Let's hope his manager is also Treloar's or Stephenson's.

Welcome to Demonland - Picks 18 & 19
Don't see it myself. Other than appearance, (size and hair) they strike me as quite different in playing style.

Who Will We Dislodge from the 2020 Final Eight?
When we win the flag, all the sides will have been dislodged by at least one spot!

2020 Player Reviews: #12 Toby Bedford
He has that rare combination of speed and endurance and cracks in. The kicking appears suspect but would be happy to see a little more if he's given another year.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
ON AFL Trade Radio, North have offered Jadyn Stephenson a 5 year deal with talk of a 2nd round pick. How about Brown to Melb, Stephenson to North and our (worst) 2nd round pick to pies (because they're campaigners).

Out with the new, in with the old for Geelong

Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
I get that you're gagging for Phillips for whatever reason, but for essentially a second round pick? You're dreaming! I 'd prefer to have at least one winger that could kick. This gives us none.

Jayden Hunt Re-Signs for 2 years
A few of these potential wingers could be chained to Langdon over the preseason - Hunt, Harmes and Baker! Hunt and Baker have no tank and Harmes will get sucked into the contest. Langdon is superb at positioning and freeing himself around the contest. He could teach them a lot. I still think the only bona fide wing we have in the side (apart from Langdon) is Fritsch. I would be very happy for him to chain himself to the wing club too. Fritsch has the tank, speed, kicking skills, vision and nous for the job. He could also have stints in the forward line depending on needs.

Adam Treloar
That could be catchy "Side by side we stick together....except for Adam Treloar and yep, maybe Stephenson and Cox" Good old campaigners forever!
