Smith's done as well as anyone not named May as a stopper on smalls and talls but continues to get slander for whatever reason. Bizarre.

I’ve rarely seen a defender with less game sense. He’s fine in the odd one on one and has reasonable agility. But his judgment is awful.Smith's done as well as anyone not named May as a stopper on smalls and talls but continues to get slander for whatever reason. Bizarre.
Close your eyes watching Harmes or any of our other mid sized guys not named Jetta?I’ve rarely seen a defender with less game sense. He’s fine in the odd one on one and has reasonable agility. But his judgment is awful.
Hurley and Hooker wouldn't come cheap, but would be good gets.If we delist OMac, is there any value in bringing Chip Frawley back for a year or two? Or... could we fit Hurley or Hooker, really free Lever up to be the 3rd tall?
Passing on a couple of rumours I’ve heard lads and lasses. Make of them what you will.
- The club recognises bringing in a KPF as priority number one. We are going after Harry McKay with a very lucrative deal in $$ and years that the Blues will be hard pressed to compete with given their recent splurge on imported talent. Martin and Williams alone will take up $2m of their cap space next season. They have a surplus of key forwards and we believe we can shake McKay loose.
- Tom McDonald to the Kangaroos. His brother will be delisted. The McDonald era at Melbourne is no more.
- One of Brayshaw or Viney won’t be at the club next season. The club would prefer that player be Gus.
- Saad rumour is true we are keen but so are others.
Harmes being a poor defender and Smith not being AFL standard are not mutually exclusive. Harmes does have runs on the board in other positions though. Salem, Hibberd and Rivers while not flawless are easily more trustworthy in the backline than Smith. Lockhart is a battler but I have more faith in him than Smith. Ditto Tomlinson. Even Hunt’s 16-17 as a HBF were better than anything Smith’s dished up. Oscar and Wagner are flawed and limited but they’re about on par with Smith.Close your eyes watching Harmes or any of our other mid sized guys not named Jetta?
Came across this one on twitter. Looks like we’re keeping Joel Smith. He’s bringing Merrett across.

We ain't getting any of those 3 players.is this a joke
Like most rumours likely no truth. Apparently he unfollowed Essendon on insta and somehow that tweet found its way into my timeline. This one was a reply to it. The guy is an Essendon fan. I don’t know how it come into my timeline as I have muted most Essendon fans. Somehow their tweets always end up in my timeline.is this a joke
Essendon would ask for 2 firstsMerrett would be an amazing pickup but don’t see why he’d leave and he’d cost an insane amount.
Tom Morris backed up this regarding Tom McDonald comment and said he's had some interest from North Melbourne.Passing on a couple of rumours I’ve heard lads and lasses. Make of them what you will.

Or Clayton Oliver.Essendon would ask for 2 firsts
Reckon we’ve got crumbling pressure covered.
Still all over his Twitter.Merrett unfollowing Essendon on Insta is a pisstake, but apparently he also removed any mention of the club from his bio, which admittedly is a bit more interesting. Would be very Melbourne Grammar of him to end up at the Dees. Definitely preferable to McKay and Saad, complements our inside mid mix well as well as being able to play full minutes across half back and the wing.
Would take our 2021 first as well as whatever we get for trading Viney or a combo of Brayshaw/Harmes/TMac
