Sheedy would rather him go to the draft than give him to us. And there will be 18 other teams in the competition with this same thought in mind. Whilst the bitter man is at the helm we won't be able to get any of their players.

So let him.

Of course we should find out his long term future. After what GW$ did to the MFC all is fair game.

The MFC must be relentless in the pursuit of its own gains. It is what other clubs do.

To say "we do not have the balls" is an attitude we need to shed.

If anything the MFC "balls" need to grow...

Get in his manager's ear now.

5 mil for 5 years. Starting 2014.

The ultimate payback.

IMO RR 2013 is about getting good experienced players into our team.

2014 in our current predictment is a lifetime away.

Lets go after the getables for 2013.

If he is any good and we may not know till 2014.

The que will stretch to about 17 chances.

Unfortunately he isn't eligible for free agency for a long time. So we will have to pay through the nose to get him.

I don't really see it as payback at all. GWS didn't have to give up anything to poach Scully from us. We will have to give up a couple of first round draft picks minimum to get Patton.

While I don't really think Cloke would be worth the coin, it would be awesome knowing that we got him without giving up any players or draft picks. Hence why free agency is so interesting.

You can already see how good Patton is going to be. So too Cameron. If anyone would rather Watts than Cameron they've been wasting their time following footy.

OK, wrong thread.

Love your combative, positive, go-getting attitude as usual Sloonie.

Silly dream. He won't leave, will see out his next contract, and at that stage a move for Patton is possible.

I say try:

Aaron edwards - foil for clarke, bandaid

Sidebottom, montagna, goddard - $$$ may get them.

Beams at less then those mentioned above

Myles sewell, shane valenti, and yes even Brock Mclean.

Fringe players from the hawks, carlton, WCE, essendon, geelomg

Only spend big bucks to get a walk up star, and I think we could recycle a few more stop gaps like seller.

Clarke so far value for coin.

So 2 proven facts from this year are we (1) need quality ready to go midfielders and (2) we could do with a foild up foward for clarke like a A. Edwards or crameri or even a mcglynn type.

Fingers croseed there is a few goodbyes, more quality kids, And a few more bandaides so kids can develop properly.

Jonno has told you this definitively has he? Wow, thanks for the inside goss.

Jetstar domestic flight and a silvertop taxi to AAMI Park.

That will be the attitude going forward. GW$ will not be able to hold all these guns.

Players will move once FA kicks in. Including our players.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
