If Essendon want him back they have to hope he lasts that long though.

If he doesn't nominate and get taken in the ND I'd say there's no way he'll last til the Bombers get a pick.

Probably won't last past our PSD pick.

If we decided that we wanted him, we could negotiate terms with his management and if there was agreement, he could nominate for the PSD. We would then get him with pick # 1. There's a lot of "ifs" there, mind you!

I think he's the best PSD prospect available and we should be negotiating with his management now to sign him . It's happened a few times before with the PSD first pick , and guarantees the club get their player and the player is assured of a new AFL contract .

Get him now I reckon !

The way the club is going at the moment, I have my doubts that Hislop and the MFC would be able to come to an arrangement - given that every man and his dog has thumbed his nose at the MFC.

If the club truly wants him, then we may have to fork out pick 35 for him in the National Draft.

I'm now almost 100% certain we won't be picking up players from other clubs in either draft.

Back to the topic of Tom Hislop.

With a few clubs vying for his services, would you think a 2-3 years deal (we are basing this on the length of deal, not the $ amount) would be enough to sway him to come to the MFC?

If he nominates for the ND, I suppose he has no choice if his name comes up when we are drafting. If he nominates for the PSD, I suppose he can put a price tag on his head, which could take us out of the running. Would the 2-3 year deal turn his head? I don't think he would be commanding too much dosh on the open market, perhaps the length of stay is what he is after as he allegedly turned down a 1 year deal.

I know Hislop has been deemed a "bad egg". but he is the only player I can actually see being of service out of the 2008 delistees.


I do think we should take Hislop if he's available (just), but I wouldn't offer him 3 years, especially when we are taking such a hard line with our own players.

If we decided that we wanted him, we could negotiate terms with his management and if there was agreement, he could nominate for the PSD. We would then get him with pick # 1. There's a lot of "ifs" there, mind you!

Perhaps a "Powerpoint presentation" will secure him WJ? :unsure:;)

Apparently (read: ridiculously speculative) he was the player the Herald Sun was referring to when his captain pulled him up at a team meeting and said "if you ever take drugs at my club again I'll f***ing kill you"

With the presenters being some Melbourne players in suits.


Demonland Ignore List

Highly recommended.

How do you access the ignore list?

Apparently (read: ridiculously speculative) he was the player the Herald Sun was referring to when his captain pulled him up at a team meeting and said "if you ever take drugs at my club again I'll f***ing kill you"

Fits far too cleanly... so naturally it can't be true.

But its enough for me to blindly believe.

Take Begley in the PSD.

But its enough for me to blindly believe.

Captains who I believe would of allegedly said that to the player in question at a team meeting.

Matthew Lloyd - YES

James McDonald/Cameron Bruce - NO

Sam Mitchell - MAYBE

Chris Judd - NO

Nick Riewoldt - NO

Tom Harley - NO

Adam Simpson - NO

Brad Johnson - NO

Simon Goodwin - NO

Warren Tredrea - NO

Darren Glass - NO

Matthew Pavlich - NO

Brett Kirk - NO

Jonathon Brown - NO

Kane Johnson - NO

Scott Burns - YES

Have I narrowed it down to the right club(s)???

Apparently (read: ridiculously speculative) he was the player the Herald Sun was referring to when his captain pulled him up at a team meeting and said "if you ever take drugs at my club again I'll f***ing kill you"

Why do you bother posting such rubbish when it has no basis of fact what so ever?

And HT, I would expect any AFL captain worth his role(other than the Cuz) to take rather strident and aggressive action to warn/threaten any player who was known to be taking drugs.

...

:lol: Interesting to go through the list like that though.

In my opinion -

Matthew Lloyd - YES

James McDonald/Cameron Bruce - NO

Sam Mitchell - YES

Chris Judd - NO

Nick Riewoldt - YES

Tom Harley - NO

Adam Simpson - NO

Brad Johnson - NO

Simon Goodwin - Doubtful

Warren Tredrea - YES

Darren Glass - Doubtful

Matthew Pavlich - NO

Brett Kirk - NO

Johnathon Brown - YES

Kane Johnson - NO

Scott Burns - YES

But Lloyd & Hislop appear the best fit.

*** PURE SPECULATION & SHOULD BE DISREGARDED AS SUCH ***


And HT, I would expect any AFL captain worth his role(other than the Cuz) to take rather strident and aggressive action to warn/threaten any player who was known to be taking drugs.

So would I RR, just speculating on how I perceive the captains and who I think would of allegedly said that based on how long they've been at the club and how they love the club, if the speculation regarding what was said is in fact true... .

It seems that no uncontracted players nominated before the deadline of 2pm yesterday. Does this have any significance? Do such players now automatically go into the PSD or what?

What was said is definitely true.

No one seems to have much idea of who actually said it though.

Hislop is the only non-captain's name I've heard thrown up throughout (which of cause doesn't mean it's true).

And before anyone asks I didn't hear it on BigFooty.

What was said is definitely true.

Hislop is the only non-captain's name I've heard thrown up throughout (which of cause doesn't mean it's true).

So your saying the ridiculous speculation is true now. Gotcha. :rolleyes:


No I'm saying the whole "a captain of an AFL club took a player by yadayada" part was was true

How would you honestly be sure if you dont know the protagonists were?

Why you saw the need to unfairly speculate that the statement refers to Hislop or any other player for that matter involving drugs is baffling.

Your response to my initial query suggests you dont get it.

Rhino, the report of "a captain tooka player aside" was spoken about on SEN by Ricky Nixon about a month ago. Whether it is true is a whole different issue. But MY source for hearing the same idea was that interview.

Thanks Tim. I have no doubt the statement has been widely alleged to have occurred and its good copy for the media but it could well be folklore bandied about or it may well have been true.

Its the sort of comment I could well attribute to a Coach as well. Naturally some clubs come to mind before others.

 

I heard/read that it was Michael Voss.

I heard/read that it was Michael Voss.

good point. I don't think they actually said it was a current captain.

And Vossy would put the fear of god into you, wouldn't he?

haha i love it. Wish we had a fearsome captain like that... Brock?? get onto that one.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
