Spoke to a Saints supporter today who is a huge wrap for Walsh.

Look at your avatar Redleg.

It shows a horse bolting and that's what's happened with Tommy Walsh while we were having our tilt for Clark.

The horse bolted.

Sydney have come in with a big offer for Tommy with a strong endorsement from Tadgh.

The Saints are still fighting to convince him to stay.

We're a long, long, long way behind ...

    How can we have offered Clark more than we offered.....Clark ?? :wacko:

    What are you talking about. I used him as an example of someone we offered more to but he chose another club over us.

    Not to mention our Irish connection as the first club to try it and the fact of not having to leave his "Melbourne" home and mates here.

    more to than whom ? It looked like you were comparing what we attempted with Clark ..to the same attempt. Maybe it read ambigously .

    I'm horrified that we couldn't use cash to persuade someone to uproot his family and leave his desire of living and playing at home. I mean, how could anyone resist cash...oh wait...maybe he is an adult with his own soul and brain...

    You look to be right, but Footy can be a very fickle game....Mitch Clark may regret our solid offer.....

    No need for the sarcasm Tim D. I think everyone on here accepts his desire to go home and that it won out over money. Can't see anyone complaining.

    I meant Kurt Tippett..

    What of him.

    Will somebody take this pick 12 and a compo for someone good for gods sake!

  • Quote

    This years draft is thin and there seems to be 8 to 10 that are ok and after that it is ordinary, it depends on club needs who falls outside the top players and who will be there at 12 but I have a feeling that we will be saying meh when our selection is read out. I hope not but it may be the case.

    You sound like an expert but you dont know what you are talking about. Docherty, Ellis, Crisp and Clay Smith will all be still there past pick 10.

    Greene will take 12 this year and a top line mid will take the compo pick next year, never fear it's all under control.

    So which of those do you think will turn out to be top line players?

  • Quote

    It was never more than an outside chance from the start and good on them for trying. As we've seen with Judd, Scully and now Clark, you need months if not years to set up the major coups.

    So true - that is why we should have worked with Fevola earlier.

  • Quote

    We all knew he wanted to go to Perth for family reasons so its no great shock.

    Get FEV he will be cheap and we can stick him in the goal square and will take the best defender.

    Also to protect ourselves put clauses in his contract to the point where that if he farts innappropriately he is gone.

    Personally I think pick 12 could get us a good player. Not a superstar, but a best 22 player. I'm thinking a Jones or Zaharakis type.

    Docherty should be there at our pick and I would be happy with him. Greene might still be there. And if he is not then another quality player will slide.

    I have no qualms trading pick 12 away. doubt it will happen now though.

    If tess had taken the time to read what I said, I said I have a "feeling" that we won't get a top player and that's a distinct possibility. There are some reasonable players outside the top 8 to 10 but I don't think that there will be any superstars there. If we get Greene I'll be rapt if we get a good quality player then that would be great, but we need, as someone said earlier, stars not foot soldiers.

    Just as a matter of interest we have picked up the following with pick 12

    Jones, Frawley and Cook so this is the fourth time we've had it since 2005.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
