"Returning to the Ranges as a 19-year-old has been hugely beneficial for the ex-Lilydale junior, who supports the Demons and lists Nathan Jones as his favourite player."
A shame 2 of the other clubs that are interested in him will pick ahead of us.

We should be tanking for mid-season rookie draft picks. Or was that the plan all along?

Quite possible that at this point we should tank for any old reason at all. I can go about with head held high - of course we didn’t lose, we tanked!

Considering some of the players we drafted I think we are worse at tanking than winning

We certainly managed more wins in the year we were tanking then we did under Mark Neeld - which was when we were apparently aiming to be the hardest team to beat.
Could be an idea for Goody - try threatening the team at gunpoint not to win any games.

Quick, agile medium forward/wing who's favourite player is Nathan Jones.
I'm keen.

I have the thirst, the thirst for Hirst.

And he already knows how much it Hirst to be invested emotionally in the MFC (and Petracca's bro is his agent). I'm in.

If we can Trade Petracca for any Pick under 14 I would do it. Then use our first pick (5-8) to trade for something we actually need.
Julian is a top bloke, haven't seen him in ages, only just realised he has moved into player management.
The exact player we desperately need. Throw the kitchen sink at him. Offer them our first round pick and any player besides Gawn, Oliver Harmes and Hore. No idea what it would take to get him, but he's exactly what we need..

We can't trade this years first, and it'll take 2 first's to get him
Bugger. So I guess we have zero chance to trade for any gun unless we are very creative. What about free agents? Any decent wingman or small forwards we can target?

Creative?
Freo and WC still have their first round picks. WC also have an extra early second round pick.
If only we could offer a player that had a brother at either club... someone who doesn’t value his spot in the team and only runs one way but polled highly in the Brownlow last year, so still has currency.
If only we could replace that player with a talented, hard running midfielder who gives his all every match and hits up targets in the forward line at will.
If only...

Hore... Lol. I love his work too but that's random.
Yeah, pretty much no chance. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't even think we're allowed to trade next years, given the rule is using 2x first rounders in a 4 year period, and our last were Oliver and Weid in 2015, so even with using this years, we're still outside of that, which would mean we wouldn't be able to move next years.

Besides when the AFL can tick off being able to still trade your first. We brought in Lever whos still young and doesnt leave us with a hole in an age bracket. We arent a team full of 30+ year olds. So dont see how if we went to AFL asking if we could trade our first for someone like Whitfield howd theyd say no it puts our list in the s**t in a couple years. Well from what i read before AFL can allow you to trade still or did they change that part and unlike any other rule in the AFL it isnt flexible
