I’m still pretty confident he’ll be our best ruck this time next year. It just comes down to what they want to do with forward planning.
Let’s hope he gets to 300, I think it’s important he does.

If we were to go with Goldy as sole ruck and not bring in CCJ (I think the less likely option) then things might get real very quickly if Goldy's form is up and down or nothing to write home about.

Agree L Mac was an okay pick, hindsight makes it's too easy to say we shouldn't have matched. I was shattered when the Eagles bid but we only have ourselves to blame we basically paraded L Mac as a North Melbourne football player in the lead up to the draft. We backed ourselves into a corner and had no choice but to match. I think we've learned from that to be a bit more circumspect with Father / Sons.
I was bored at home and procrastinating so I thought I'd organise our list on Notepad.

It's going to be an interesting off season with a lot of guys out of contract. There is clearly a lot of dead wood to trim off the list, but what do we replace it with? Pick 1 or 2 who is likely going to be another midfielder and Cooper Harvey is a mid forward. We clearly need a couple of spare key position players and the club clearly needs to invest in some top end general defenders. Are we recruiting them from other clubs or the VFL? Or is the club going to try and get back into the draft after pick 2 and before matching Cooper? Really feels like we've painted ourselves into a bit of a corner here.

I’ve mentioned this guy a few times, but Jack Payne from Bris who is stuck behind Andrews and Gardiner is one we should target.
At about 197cm and 22 he’d walk into our back 6 and would be reasonably cheap.

They need a crafty small forward. Straight swap for Mahony!
Only Forwards
Just you wait and see
It’s also worth remembering with the Melbourne trade it was an easyish out of a situation where Brady had not started and we’d barely appointed a coach who was doing everything at that point.
We were able to switch out our first to a time where we’d have a team in place and settled (theoretically) + we got sweeteners with additional picks.
It was just thinking that Melbourne were shit.

And Luff is having a massive crank over this idea because he is a money ball type. :stern look

Can we shelve the “moneyball” term.
But he does sound promising
Jack Payne = The major.

I'm all for a critical lens on the current regime but I think this is pretty harsh. I think everyone thought Melbourne of 2020 would surpass their 2019 output.
We've had a bunch of great players finish within ten games of a major milestone.In our 90+ year history we’ve had maybe 5 players play 300 games.
Come year end Goldy is going to finish on around 295 games that’s if he doesn’t get injured or we miss finals
I really want him to play 300, I think he deserves it.
Tough decisions coming up in the off season.
Keith Greig and Anthony Stevens have 290+ but not 300.
John Dugdale, Brady Rawlings, Wayne Carey, Daniel Wells, David King, Shannon Grant and Scott Thompson are all in the 240-249 range.
He's already in the top ten most games for the club.
Honestly, where we're at, I'm leaning towards him not playing next year.
Grant got to 301, Blakey 359, Martyn 300, Bell 286, Schwass 282 just not all with us.
Good numbers in the reserves on the weekend. I don’t see it as a moneyball selection. He’s a guy that was pretty raw when drafted, he’s now done an apprenticeship in a good system with good players around him to learn from and he’s ready to go. He’s just lacking opportunities due to the players previously mentioned.

Previous years would have been easy to get out with the cap squeezes
But I cannot help but wonder if some players had provisions for automatic increases when it was reinstated and maybe, they aren’t as flush as they would like to be and as amendable

On the way up from 16th to mid-table or so. What they did two years after isn't relevant to the deal.

I think we need to find a way to take another pick in the MSD. Retire Lynch (Pick 1), then take a mature tall with another pick.
I've said it before but I would look closely at Dyson Hilder from North Adelaide. 196cm 97kg. Been playing across CHB and through the ruck. Elite athlete, strong in the air and a nice kick for a big man. Still only 21.

Yeah I was talking about with us. Honestly couldn't give two hoots about what someone did at another club.

Lynch was a wise move just wanted to say that for the 20th time. We feel that our lack of mature players around our youngsters was going to impact their development.
The soft cap wasn't an option, but we have plenty of cash in our player cap. Was the only way we could afford it.
I'd rather that wasn't the case but it just is.
