I hope we are already in their ear

C'mon Barry P. and co, get on the blower to the managers of these top 10 GWS picks - nearly all of whom were from Victoria - and let them know we're interested in all of them.

Might be hot air, might not be. At the very least it'll sow some seeds of doubt in the minds of these kids and get them thinking that there are better prospects for them elsewhere at the end of their first contract. Who knows who we might shake from the tree after the disenchantment of two years worth of thrashings.

GW$ is now fair game on every front.

I reckon its a great idea to be in these guys ears, the amount of mids GWS have got is crazy, they surely cant fit them all in, and im sure a few will be after more opportunity and want to come home! have a look at this list !! they cant play them all

its payback time in a couple of years!!

I like the idea. But is it allowed? Can a person employed by or working on behalf of a club talk to another club's players at any time? (I know there was a 'window' for GWS in November 2010 to do something...was that discuss or actually offer contracts?)

You don't honestly think Gomez and his puppets will allow anyone to touch his brain snap do you?

Angry Anderson will change the rules to suit GWS, mark my words.

GWS will not be touched for years.

I think GWS have made a huge mistake with their recruiting.

They're going to get thrashed!

And in order to keep the team together they're going to need great leadership. Where is that going to come from?

GC at least recruited seasoned players that not only would make them more competitive but gave them leadership.

GWS players may be scrambling to get out of there in a few years time. They may just fall into our lap. Or here's hoping anyway.

That's all well and good, but then we're gonna possibly have our own problems with the cap in a few years time when our kids develop more. Throw in Viney plus another 2 quality kids from next years' draft (better talent compared to the one just passed) and we're gonna have to be careful with our own backyard before we start poaching.

If it came down to raiding another clubs kids or keeping our own (hopefully all of Viney + 2x compo pick players become great MFC players), i'd take the latter, as they would have come from a stronger draft.

Let other clubs tear GWS and to a certain extent GC a new one, whilst we just sit back and enjoy it all, keeping all our talent and cap in tact.

Welcome back RR, nice to see you revving up agagin :) Think you're dead on there, and I'd like to think that the club are onto it, if not now soon. Would be the greatest pleasure to see us strip some of their gifted talent!

Thank you. It's good to be back!

Whether it's us or any other club, I just hope that every effort is made to destabilize the GW$ playing list.

If our club were fair dinkum, this would already have been done a few months ago by our recruiters.

    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,
