I dont mind th eidea/concept of a Byrnnes type. I think too many people are shooting for the moon. Currently we're just the other side of crap. We arent going to turn into a take-on-all -killer typ

Good news everyone. We have a small forward. So in total, we have one small forward.

Arent we looking to improve our midfield and key forward stocks?

Byrnes is an outside mid who hasnt been making the grade. Goldsack is second banana to two gorillas in the forward line - we have lots of second banana forwards only one gorilla in Clark - so I say no thanks not compelling.

no reports on how much he is being paid?

Who really cares.....We don't know how much any of our players are getting...neither do the media.....It's all guess work by them and us....Don't know how much Mitch is getting....Only the club and the player/manager knows....I don't know why people get hung up on this?????

And just out of curiosity, being a dual premiership player means he missed out on one. Was he injured or just unable to get into a very good side?

Pretty sure he was an emergency for last years grand final. So not able to get into the side as new players like Christensen took his spot.

I care, as it comes out of my membership fees.

And it is nice to know what kind of ballpark he is in terms of player payment, he didn't seem to hesitate at all while most other players do when it comes to the MFC.

Not necessarily anyone from the FA pool that doesnt fit our longer term needs.

Then what is the harm in signing Byrnes, I think its a good move by the MFC

I am sure next week will be when we do deals do land a Gorilla and a few Mids when we can actually Trade.

Does the shareholder really care what the mailboy in a huge organisation is getting paid???

I'm happy with this signing.

Having said that, if we got more players in the 'ageing' bracket i would be worried. We retired Green and got rid of moloney + Rivers may walk.

If someone had asked you - who would you prefer Moloney or Byrnes you'd say Moloney in a heartbeat

Not just what I said before, it would be good to know what type of coin he is on as it is a factor into what type of compensation we receive from Moloney/Rivers signing with other teams.

It would just be food for thought to know if we were/were not going to get a pick.

Yes, could be a fertile plot - I'd be keen on looking at Tom Murphy from this year - seems like a very solid citizen, is UFA and would set a good benchmark for commitment at our club.

Welcome Shannon!

Sh#t ones dont.

Good ones do

Sorry....Can't let this go.......So, as a good shareholder you would know the saleries of all the office workers...even if you are making a large profit....If we won a premiership would you care how much Trengove got after kicking the winning goal?????

Sorry just saw your latest post....I'll give it up now....

Those examples are irrelevant. How much Byrnes is earning comes into play when compensation for losing F/A's are awarded.

Like i said earlier, its food for thought to know whether or not we should expect a compensation pick.

Very happy with this pick up. He comes from a winning culture, and knows what it takes to win a premiership.

I think part of of the problem is our current experienced players are only experienced in an MFC environment. They've never won a premiership or even played deep into the finals. They haven't trained alongside guys that have won Brownlow medals.

Byrnes has. If he can instill the right ethic into the younger guys then he's served his purpose well.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
