I wouldn't think Jones would be going anywhere. From the sounds of al his tweets, he absolutely loves the boys and the club.

I also have a bad feeling one of Bruce, Warnock, Bate or Morton will be gone.

It seems very much a 'co-incidence' that Warnock, Bate and Morton are all our of contract and also out of the team for the last few games after being core 22 players earlier in the season.

I'd hate to see anyone go.

Headlined on Fox Sports that Port Adelaide's Nathan Krakouer maybe headed for the Sunshine State. Peter Rohde has expressed disappointment.

Krakouer's management has told Rohde, he is leaving the PAFC.

I would be very dissapointed if Bate, Warnock or Morton Went! All these guys are very important players in going forward and all very capable of being in our best 22. As for Bruce i love the bloke, he has been a fantastic player for the MFC, but if the GC offer him a 2 or 3 year deal worth good $$$ he SHOULD take it, as he will only get a 1 year deal for MFC. He will always be a melbourne player just like Dermie will always be a Hawk!

As for Jones, thats a joke right? Appart from the surf on the GC why would he leave MFC?

Are we sure we will lose a player?

I'll take a punt:

Hawks - Campbell Brown

Dons - Brent Stanton

Dees - Cameron Bruce

Pies - Paul Medhurst

We should make guessing the above players a contest or something. Winner gets bragging rights for being awesome/lucky/a footyhead

I also reckon they'll get David Armitage, Jarrod Harbrow, Michael Rischitell and Jared Brennan.

3aw were adamant that comments from Brown's manager and cryptically from Clarkson was that Brown will announce he is going to GC.

According to Bruce he is keen to finish his career (1 or 2 years left at MFC). Medhurst...they would be kidding. Aside from Harbrow and Rischetelli, the others are questionable recruits.

Morton was out injured co incidentally earlier in the year.

I have to agree with the sentimants of many here regarding Bruce. I would love for him to finish his career at the MFC but could understand if GC offer him more money and a longer career. One club players are becoming rare. If he does finish up with us, he should be our next 250 gamer.

Considering most players get booed when they swap teams, will the GC be the most booed team in the competition? Usually the build up one or two weeks in the season is player x coming up against his old team. This will be almost every week next year.

These 2 new "teams" have been cobbled together for reasons of Broadcasting & Marketing. So we Victorians & in particuliar MFC Supporters must make them feel uncomfortable & unwanted whenever they come anywhere near the MCG (and hopefully we can inflict much pain on them both when we travel to their money pits.

Who will be the first Victorian Team to lose to these AFL Monsters?? nobody will want that acolade.

Yes. It is certainly a big stigma and a huge sense of shame for those sides that gave the first win in the AFL to Brisbane, Sydney, West Coast, Freo, Adelaide and Port Adelaide.....who ever they were.

there will be just as much booing as there was when the brisbane bears started with x players.

Just heard on the grape vine Melbourne are gonna play 1 home game a year in China to attract more sponsers from the orient.

Seems to me that Krakouer, Harbrow and Brown are all signed.

Rischitelli and Brennan are maybes.

Ablett is undecided and I reckon he'll stay.

I've also heard that John Anthony is a possibility.

Any word on if Melbourne would take Scott Thompson as he is returning to Victoria, probably need a trade as they lose goodwin burton edwards bock and maybe mcleod

Do we need him though??? Nup!

His loss. He has missed out on something quite special at Melbourne.

Travis Boak looks like will be at gc and Walker not happy at Crows

Pretty sure Boak extened his contract at Port earlier this week

Cam Bruce to win Melbourne best and fairest this year. This is more then just a rumor so get your money on it

Crows fans want Tapscott saying we never play him, silly ppl

Ah Morton signed a contract at the end of last season!

with two games still to go? pull the other one and it plays jingle bells.

A list of who is out of contract would help the guessing - any takers?

Interestingly the Boomers (National Basketball Team) is sponsored by Golden Star!!! I had to look up who they were.

Golden Star International Investment Pty Ltd is a Chinese company that was established in 1995 and has since focused on sports exchange and cooperation between China and Australia. Golden Star's business includes commercial operations in basketball and football, the organising of sports tours between Australian and Chinese sports clubs, as well as sports marketing and sponsorship development.

Amazing that our National basketball team has to be sponsored by a CHinese investment company!! Poor state of affairs that..

I reckon ablett is going going gone. he has not put anything to bed in telling the club of a decision, yet when he could have. paul connors reckons he is good as gone. the bruce talk is folly.

josh mahoney flirted with the idea of going to Port and having a go at their top job, however after anylsis of both lists he will stay with the demons for another 2 years, Bailey a massive fan.

Stupid comment.

Ablett has had plenty of chance to put it to bed... If he had actually already made a decision.

He hasn't.

Why on earth would he commit one way or the other when he doesn't yet know himself?

The Bruce talk is highley unlikey.
