A message to Brent Prismall and Robbie Warnock.

[Yze_Magic 3]

Instead of taking on a challenge of helping to rebuild a club that has won 8 games in 2 years, you took the easy option.

You are frontrunners of the highest order, and dont have the guts to accept a challenge.

We dont need mentally weak players at our footy club.

You are not men.

Nope, dont think so.

Theyd just prefer to play at those other clubs?

They are gutless.

How Far under the Salary Cap are those Cheating Blues now? That's all i care about. Niether of those players are proven. We may already have the Best Warnock.

Prismalls knee buckled under his own weight. I didn't like the look of that long term, as i said yesterday i remember Steven Clark from Essendon who played four games and did his knee again against essendon! We still have all our picks guys. Chill its Beer Oclock!

[Dalrot 85]

FFS who cares? These players owed us nothing.

If you were in their position who would you choose?

[Red and Blue Flame 142]

carlton hopefully get caught for paying over the TPP

bulldust

prismall and warnock can eff off and get more knee injuries and be worse than at freo

[pantaloons 2,019]

The only message that will make Warnock and Prismall regret their choices is the improvement of the club into a premiership force in 3-5 years time, ahead of Carlton and Essendon. Let's face it, we're not going to be able to do that by luring players to our club. The romantic notion of players choosing to come to our aid in a time of dire need is great, but we're dealing with footballers here, hardly the deepest thinkers humanity has to offer. We can't rely on other clubs' starts coming our way to help us out. We need to start drafting well, and not piddling our first round draft picks up the wall like we do most years. We have to change the public perception of us as the flatulating dullard cousin by ourselves. I'm not in the slightest bit annoyed that we couldn't land an overpriced or injury-ridden player from another club by sacrificing a draft pick this week. It would have been nice to offload some players for draft picks, but you can't force other clubs to give up picks they refuse to part with.

Attention now turns to both drafts. Melbourne must draft extremely well, especially with the first three selections. We have to make it a massive priority to convince a currently uncontracted quality player that Melbourne is the place to be in 2009 and take them in the PSD. It's in our hands.

[LeBron James 41]

Who cares about them? Draft our way to success, show them why they chose wrong, especially in 2-3 years time. No point complaining over them now.

Would you like some cheese with that whine. Get over it fool.

[stretch marks 2]

Primsall went to Essendon yes(his prefered destination), but I was under the impression that he would have been happy to end up at Melbourne, unlike Warnock who reportedly out right refused to consdier the Demons. So I wouldnt necessary lump them together

[Yze_Magic 3]

FFS who cares? These players owed us nothing.

If you were in their position who would you choose?

I would choose the Demons because I am not gutless like them.

[Guest red and blue thru n thru]

I would pic melbourne easy.

I honestly recon we'l get a premiership before essendon.

[Rampaging Demons 1]

care factor of these two?

seriously, they chose other clubs and let's hope that they regret their decision when we become one of the genuine forces of the afl, through the recruitment of youth, a touch of experience and brand of footy that will win premierships...

[Ash35 425]

Hilarious Yze_Magic. Absolutely hilarious, you've out done yourself this time.

I agree with demonologist to an extent. Warnock flat out said he would rather play along side Chris Judd than his own brother. That is a massive slap in the face to the MFC. I still can't work it out.

Lets face it, where ever Prismall ended up, Essendon or Melbourne, he is looking at a fair stint before he gets near a premiership. In the end he was looking for greater opportunity and game time, and both clubs offered 3 years.

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

Yeah Prismall said yes to both, maybe Melbourne wopuld only offer a very late draft pick so geelong went with essendon.

Who cares, it would have been good to get prismall but I really do not care that much, I would still be more excited about who we draft at 1, 17, 19 even if we got both of the other two.

[DeeMfc 621]

Warnock - 21 games, largely unproven but has potential...... too big a risk for what he was asking IMO.

Prismall - Very good player with a very bad knee injury........ will be about 80% of what he could have been IMO. (would have taken him with our 3rd rounder though)

Would have liked us to gain more picks though, but they weren't being handed out like lollies were they ?

[dazzledavey36 49,911]

warnock can seriously stay the [censored] away from our club!!

chose money over family u money hungry [censored]!

dont care wat prismall does to be quite honest

[tez 6]

Gee we are upset about Prismall broken down hack and Bean pole Warnock unproven hack not coming over, Bailey and co would have been laughed at when these to under performed and over priced players dont prove their worth

Bring on the draft and lets rebuild

So glad we didn't trade for these guys in the end. ANOTHER mid with a bung leg, and a bean-pole that has played about 20 games who's asking price was WAAAY to high... NO ruckman is worth pick 19 or better, unless it's Cox at age 20... and even the he was a rookie and no-one knew how good he was.

I'll take my 1, 17, 19 and 35 and go home, thankyou very much. Each one of these picks is worth more to us than either of those guys.

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

Who's to say that warnock had heard all the crappy stories from his brother for years and thought sod it if I would ever go there.

[Red Demon 67]

I would pic melbourne easy.

Why, because you support them?

FFS, these players owe the Melbourne footy club nothing.

Why don't we have a go at Jonathan Brown, Ryan O'Keefe, Paul Chapman etc for not leaving their clubs when they could to come and help Melbourne out?

[Jaded No More 60,447]

Build a bridge...

Seriously, you'd think we just missed out on Judd all over again.

Prismall is slow and now has a dud knee, and Warnock has done NOTHING in this career thus far.

Gees I'm so glad to be so far away at this time of year
