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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
