I'd keep Butters over NWM if I had to pick one.

Outside run and carry easier to find than tough as nails terriers.

I’d keep Butters too. Quality player who finds his own ball

While we should all be celebrating what St Kilda and NWM were able to do in that last quarter can you imagine the Melbourne rooms afterwards and what that does for them? With all the talk about Petracca last year ( contracted to 2029 ), Oliver for several years ( 2030 ) and now Pickett ( 2034 ) not to mentioned Van Rooyen ( 2029 ) on a long term deals all taking up massive chunks of the salary cap where to for Melbourne?

Gawn turns 34 late this year and Essendon has Melbourne's first round pick this year.

Would like to be at the Board meeting tonight when Goodwin ( contracted next year ) presents to them.

Who's more responsible, Goodwin or Tim Lamb, the list manager?

Melbourne's gameplan is love each other, hug a lot, and bash it down the line in the hope Kossy can do something freakish with some crumbs.

Is this due to the list or the coach?

Carlton, Melbourne and Essendon would
I'm certain Brisbane, Collingwood and Geelong wouldn't

Guys that can play forward, mid, back and literally win you a game of their own boot are as rare as a St Kilda premiership.

Two top teams have blokes who can run and carry and hit targets its the modern game.
Even better if they can go in and out like Pendlebery, Dawson and Rankine


Without blokes getting them the ball they can't do any of that.


Hows that going for Carlton and Melbourne?

It’s relevant for the non-happy clappers who can see that there’s a few clubs in some sort of strife who are quite rightly under the microscope. Dees, Bombers, Saints, Kangas, Tigers, Eagles and yes, Port to name a few.

Please, Mr Know It All Dave from Alberton, carry on like you’re a Pom on the last day of a Test against India, not my concern if you’re offended by truth bombs. :roll:

Put on your Big Boy pants instead of sooking. :D
