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?????

Which player from the abudance of FA Gorillas and mids do you think we should sign up?

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
