I’m far from a Dougal fan but happy for him to stay but on lesser money…he’s not suited to play on the gorilla forwards

It’s a tough call… One could argue that he’s not value for what he’s paid and would have perceived value on the trade market But is Cordy actually the real deal. I mean don’t get me wrong… he’s been decent since Howard has been out, but it’s really easy to overrate the value of someone doing good i...

It all came apart for Timmy at that Hawthorn comeback game. Spida Everitt giving away a succession of 50s then glaring at the coach's box as he was dragged. You just knew that discipline had collapsed. Yes that was a horrendous loss..we were also 4 goals up against Collingwood the following week an...

Tim was the only one in the media to tip us to make finals this season.
Most had us bottom 4…well done Tim!

Ross Lyon is like a “second father” to Phillipou…doubt he’ll be out of the side.
The kid will get a breather in bye week before our first final

That was a ten goal plus win if we kicked straight. 💯 We were in control most of the time, and any other team would put the oppo out of their misery. Our guys played like 'we can't believe we're in front' and played very defensively to protect the lead, instead of inflicting more pain and making a ...

Electric!

I agree but you don't win a premiership at Marvel.

You need run and spread at the G

I’d love to see Jack Hayes as sub…very versatile player and would be a valuable warrior in finals

Wow…I love trade and draft period! BM’s sure stirred up a hornets nest with this post. The way I see it, Clark, Billings, Paton & Gresham will be the main ones linked to moving on. Billings may not garner any interest but the others may! SOS and Gubby will be busy and it will be fascinating who ...

For starters, the boss said it would be a year of EXPLORATION…

A superb effort given his career looked to be over after his brain operations.
Underrated player!

I won't be renewing my membership.

Relax, won’t happen…both have re signed on lengthy deals!

He’s earned his spot in the team. When Byrnes (I think) coming thru the centre hit him lace out on a lead I nearly creamed myself, when do we ever see that?! Better than Caminiti at this stage. They practice lowering the eyes going into forward 50 a lot at training..nice to see it in a game, though...

Billings isn’t a run & carry player

Why would you drop your leading goal kicker (Higgins)?

I went to the Carlton v Gold Coast game Sunday & was really impressed with TDK’s all round influence against a monster ruckman in Witts. Apart from his pack marking, his body work at ball ups & boundary throw ins was also very strong, matching Witts on most occasions. Added to this he has a ...

It could be argued that we have not drafted a single genuine A grade midfielder for 20 years. Some will argue that Jack Steven was, and you could mount a reasonable case. It’s an indictment on the club, particularly when we were in prime position to get Petracca, Bont & Touk Miller…we’ve had an...

The coaches are well aware of our list limitations as a result of ordinary drafting for a long time.
Expect us to be creative with our trading end of season.

I plan on speaking to the prez about this next time he’s at training..it’s a massive bugbear of mine & the alignment with Casey was similar.
Melbourne have made it work with both partners, which is an indictment against the St. Kilda footy club!

The commonly held view is we need quality mids, ruck support & a key defender. The names that keep surfacing are TDK, Dow & Bergman. Players with potential currency to trade out: Paton Gresham Highmore (?) Billings (?) Sharman (?) Bytel (?) Bergman would potentially release Nas to a wing or ...

We need to string back to back wins pronto…this win loss sequence will end up biting us big time!!

I like Jack’s intensity & second efforts & would’ve been interested 3 years ago but not now.
We’ve got to start being more strategic with our trading & continue to hit the draft!

Steele is captain of our football club and would’ve been chanting at the bit to get back.
Doubt he would’ve been selected if he wasn’t ready, as they’ve been conservative with player returns!
He looked a bit off pre season also for whatever reason.

Really pleased justice was served & Butler free to play this week.
He’s putting together a good season thus far.
Watching Peris at training I think he’d be out of his depth at the next level.

It’s only a matter of time when Mattaes Phillipou is in the elite category, he, along with Nas & Mitch are our future.
Rohan Marshall is in the conversation also!
