Agreed Doedee should be the player thrown up for trade along with ROB IMO. We can always ruck RT play himmelberg forward or pick up Lemmey late in the draft as another forward option as he’s dropped down the phantom drafts after being touted a top 5 pick all last year and have Worrell down back...

Agree, JHF will win B&F’s get AA and be high up in the Brownlow regularly through his career you’d think but Rankine will win us games and maybe one day a GF off his own boot, that is a very special player. Go hard and get both that are somewhat known quantities as players. we really don’t need...

they are playing him as the defensive wing to add a ‘string to his bow’ both Schoenberg and hately are victims of our ‘stacked midfield’

I’m not convinced he stays, he’ll say all the right things this year so we don’t entertain trading him at the end of the year then he’ll hold us over the barrel like a few others before him have from Victoria for a 5 year deal on huge coin and if we don’t give it to him he’ll then walk to...

Is Gould an equal too or upgrade on Worrell, if Worrell does leave for more opportunities Gould would be a good replacement with excellent penetration with his kicking. Poulter on a wing with his size and range would be a good long term prospect once he bulks up a bit more and seems to be very...

There is this growing perception he is slow, but the GPS data says otherwise. The last 2 weeks he’s covered the most ground for us overall, the most ground at high speed and has the highest average speed in the team, this doesn’t exactly scream slow, I’d love to see Matt crouch’s GPS numbers he...

We need to get games into Jacko and others, for comparison from the 2018 draft of games played considering we are in a supposed re-build and playing youth should be a priority and wonder why they aren’t developing, they just need more game time look at Fogarty but we dragged the chain getting...

Was more a 2 handed shove then a single handed dusty fend, I don’t think any of our mids maybe aside keays would have stayed standing from that.

I’d add Rachele to that mix too like we did the first few rounds. Considering the size of the Melbourne midfielders it’s dumbfounding hately didn’t get a job on one of petracca or Oliver for a period of time even if just for more experience. Our lack of size around the ball is staggering yet the...

I think the one of reasons he is on the wing is because unlike others in our midfield they don’t have the endurance to play on the wing but are fine rotating through the middle then resting, had a look at the Tracker on the AFL app and Jacko’s numbers are team best when it comes to distance...

Similar role to wanganeen-milera for the saints and hopefully with an equally good kick

Newchurch appears to be playing deeper this week and not up the ground as much as he was last week.

the worst part of this is that Murphy’s 2 goals last week came from Newchurch Goal assists, why would Newchurch be doing the team thing and passing it off rather then having a shot himself now, which he easily could have in both instances.

And Murphy gets the gig over Newchurch what a joke selection really is, we must be tanking.

Brennan Cox will be the right age and Free Agent when the time is right and we've sorted our midfield

Agreed, you’d almost throw crouch in as a sweetener try and get someone else out of north like Powell/CCJ who seem well out of favour. And if Doedee was to depart for JHF then Gould up in Sydney wouldn’t be the worst option to fill the void left depending on the Worrell situation. Another...

Tom Boyd was worth Ryan Griffin and pick 6 after 1 year in the system. Surely for JHF our first rounder and a player would do it is anyone off limits our only pre-agents are crouch and Doedee. Maybe crouch and a another. But would we say no if they asked for Doedee and our first pick?

it would be beneficial if sloane retained the captaincy next year, it would make it much easier to leapfrog the 4 current deputies and then put Dawson into the role after 2 years at the club with hately, Fogarty and Berry his long term deputies if they continue improving as they have in recent...

VB said as much in an interview Friday. It’s about system and defensive pressure, not goals

Agree it wasn’t overly smart given the game situation, but sets an example few have set in recent times when it comes to putting there body on the line. Shook him up as he didn’t touch it again but it’s a fearless act few would attempt on our current list.

Leon Cameron would be an interesting prospect to get involved in a Chocco like role, not as senior coach but in a development role as he showed he can develop young players in his time at GWS, most of there early picks turned out to be good players.

Borlase rucked the last couple of rounds in the SANFL last year and played extremely well in the position one out with Strachan playing AFL and ROB injured, so I wouldn't think Frampton has that going for him.

i'm 110% in this boat, the old MMM days and rub were elite, no one was safe. on a side note has anyone been able to find either the footy show snipets or MMM segments when sam launched the great chief chase? where people had to get photographed with the chief for grand final tickets and sam gave...

true it may not just be nicks coaching so is it player development, as you only need to look as far as Melbourne 10 or so years ago and Gold Coast over there time, you can't possible draft all these first round picks and a lot of them be no good, which points to coaching/development. Marco bello...

Looking back to the 2019 draft, we split our pick 4 with GWS for Pick 6 in 2019 and a future first in 2020. I had no problems splitting it, but if we weren't 110% convinced on McAsey being a 250 game all Australian defender for us and his desire to stay in Victoria, should we have looked to...

completely agree on this, but it was clear what a major part of nicks job would be and that's developing young players for a finals tilt in a few years time, a lot of which were first round picks. Where as pyke was taking over a team that was in finals contention and playing for the now, its no...

The club have an interesting period to judge nicks I feel, West Coast then the bye followed by Gold Coast away and North in Tassie followed by Melbourne at home. Nicks needs a win against west coast to silence the jungle drums but then a loss to Gold Coast will only sound them again before...

if butts is cooked, ROB needs to go back and ruck RT. Would have preferred it was milera being subbed off for Jones.

An important thing that none of our other mids do consistently is that he finds the spots to have shots on goal, might not be kicking them all yet but knows where to be at the right time.
