The player from our 2016 side most likely to win a flag is also the guy we chose to ditch in favour of a cooked Scott Thompson

And we didn't even intend on using Thommo. We just yielded to the public pressure that he'd tapped into. Our club culture is just so god awful.

The biggest problem IMO is we rewarded Betts for his efforts in his early years with the contract extension, when instead we should have let it play out and paid the extra to keep Cameron.

that's what we do though. We reward senior players heading towards their 30s with contracts for deeds done, not expected forward value. Then when kids are being offered future value contracts elsewhere, we can't match because our money is tied up in seniors in their twilight years.
 
Live Ladder has us with us with Pick 7.

Would be nice to have a pick trade go our way,

We had a stinker to give Carlton a half decent pick and we managed to get the one season that Melbourne has not sucked for 20 years.

What everyone also seems to forget is that we paid OVERS for Betts, he wasnt offered the money that we gave him when we got him.

We once had a loose rule that at 28/29/30 years of age you got a max one year contract.
We jumped the shark when FA came along..
5 years for any player 27 or over is madness IMO. The way the VFL is now set up, 30 and your done if you make it that far.
 
English is building nicely as a player

Has a cracking perm
