Rumour doing the rounds at work, Chris Dawes has been offered a contract.

With who?

With who?

Does it matter loges? For all we know, BLWNBA might work at a kindergarten! Maybe even a morgue!!!

God i miss Chilliboy something chronic. As for YM, i'm sure they're (was their gender ever confirmed?) out there somewhere, doing what they do best. I loved how whenever we picked a kid they didn't agree with, the world came crashing down, only for them to do a complete 180 after some posters showed their enthusiasm. Case in point - Jack Grimes over Alex Rance.

Add Mark Harvey to the list although we would have to be desperate.

Wondering what Goddard thinks of R.Lyon's exit.

As for Brian Lake....http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/future-of-western-bulldogs-defender-brian-lake-up-in-the-air/story-fn69a32t-1226139114054

Yeah well if it eventuates, I'll be the first to come over and give you a big hug, but until such time, I ain't gonna count the chickens til they hatch.

All quiet Re: Ratten and new contract with Blues.... hmmm.

Despite reports in the media that an extension will be given (ie. two years), I believe Carlton will decide on Ratten at a board meeting soon. Could go either way.

Scott burns seems firm to adelaide job

Hardly claiming that it will happen, thus the reason for posting it in the 'rumour' thread.

I did hear he was a bit excited about it too...

North Melbourne decided Hamish McIntosh should not represent Werribee yesterday against Williamstown in the PF. Despite Majak Daw missing with a broken finger, it was a bit of a surprise that a fit McIntosh was held back. Williamstown went onto smash Werribee in the ruck with big Will Minson.

Perhaps for trade value....

North have stated they're going to be aggressive this trade period and McIntosh has been mentioned all year with links to Richmond, GWS etc.

Putting their foot down may just be confirmation, given North heirarchy also were heard to mention trade period....you didn't hear it from me.

No interest from our club I would have thought, but trade news nevertheless.

Interesting that we made a play for Hale last year - I would suggest that Stef Martin stepping up the way he did was not factored into the decision to go for Hale.

We should definitely have a look at Mitch Clark for the right price. Seen by Brisbane as a forward 1st and ruck 2nd, he would fill the obvious need for a stay at home gorilla forward.

Rumour that Mick Malthouse is telling anyone asking about his availability next year, that his assistants are better than the average bear.

Not so much to help them out as much as he doesnt want to leave the incoming coach anything, any [censored] thing at all.

I'm getting jealous - I thought you would come and watch Jack Viney last weekend.

the last i heard was that Green was close to signing a new contract.

Green doesn't want to re-sign and is looking for other opportunities, also Sidebottom and Pendlebury want to follow Neeld over to the dees!

Haven't heard about Sidebottom and Pendles, but have heard that same rumour about Green. Not happy with management, is not expecting to sign. Neeld may have changed his mind however.

I can't see any other club picking Green up, so it's sign or retire.

Dead wrong.... about everything really.

Just want to write this and see what people think...

Brad Green has been a Melbourne player since 1999.

He has played 241 games.

He has won games off his own boot.

He has ran with the flight of the ball and nearly killed himself more than once.

He turned down more money and success at Collingwood so he could remain a loyal one club player.

He has given everything that he possibly could of himself to the Melbourne Football Club.

However he had 1 bad year as a captain in 2010.

Brad Green may or may not be finished, next year will decide that.

But the fact that supporters of the Melbourne Football Club sit in judgement and declare he shouldn't be offered a deal and maybe he should retire is a disgrace.

So he wasn't a good captain... Wow then we should delist him.

What if Trengove is a bad captain and we suck in '12? What if Frawley is a bad captain and we suck in '12?

Just take the captaincy off Greeny, it isn't that hard and it is all the MFC need to do in regards to Green.... Just let him play care free again.

Whether he stays or goes, is good or bad, he at the very least deserves the slightest bit of respect.

Or do we want another James Mcdonald situation? Pay respect to the people who have come before and what they have done.

Dead wrong.... about everything really.

Let's remember, at this stage of the year, everything should be treated as a rumor. But I have heard (and I trust and honour my source enough to not give details) that Brad Green is not confident of playing next year. That is all.

I love Greeny, with the same passion I have for every other bloke who walks onto that field in the red and blue. And I would be sad to see him go. I am simply saying what has been rumored.

My comment about him signing or retiring is my opinion. But name me one other side desperate for a forward flanker, age 30+, who would have just been released by the most under-performing team of 2011.

Where did anyone declare in this thread that Green shouldn't be offered a deal (another contract) D32 ?

Please assist me in this mirage of yours.

I think you've put words into Deefence's mouth....

Green is still in NY i think he'll sign when he gets back

Pendelbury rates Neeld very highly i'd take him any day he'd demand more cash than he who must not be named
