MELBOURNE stalwart Aaron Davey is expected to announce his retirement today. He has played 176 games.

they could really use Moloney now.

they have a bunch of talented mids, they just arent ready yet.

Jones Trengove Viney Toumpas Grimes is a pretty good base to build on.

Still no clue why they didnt go Wines over Toumpas.

Cicjose

they need outside mids with speed thats why

they need to win the ball first. No point having all theses outside runners if nobody can get them the ball.

thats what Nathan Jones, Matt Jones, James Magner, Tom Couch, Dean Kent, Jack Trengove and Jack Viney are for

Magner and Couch are slow and have poor decision making and disposal skills. That's why they play in the VFL every week. Although Magner should come in to the team this week as you can't disregard a 51 disposal performance.
Dean Kent looks promising, but needs a full preseason or two before he can start having consistent performances.
Matt Jones is decent but will never be a star.
Trengove is more of an outside mid and is very slow.
Melbourne will receive a priority pick this year and they should be trading it to try and pick up whoever they can, or at least making offers to free agents as we have a fair bit of cap space.
