Latest murmurings of a crazy time

Info?

Just whispers in the various media outlets, plus a gut feel. I know Damien Barrett reported today that it is a certainty and that they are fine tuning the specifics. I don't have a whole lot of faith in Barrett's reporting though.

Rich is an A-Grader.

Then we have very different ideas of what kind of player is 'A grade'. I think A graders are players like Selwood, Judd, Ablett, Kennedy, Mitchell, Thompson and so on. Rich is at least a couple of levels lower than these guys. He is a handy player but you should be getting a higher calibre of player with pick 4 than him.

Edit: Just to add to that, Jones is a better player than Rich, and he still has a fair way to go to becoming an A grader.

WTF?

His best year was his first when he won the Rising Star. Ever since then he has been serviceable and reliable but no way is he a pick 4 trade.

Pick 20 more like it.

Forget the merits of Rich coming to Melbourne, but that's patent nonsense. He had a great year this year, clearly his best, kicked 20 goals from 20 games, impacted games and averaged over 20 disposals for the first time.

He's arguably the best kick I've seen. I can't believe the nonsense being said about him on this thread.

I want him. I want Wines more though.

Not attempting to derail a thread but Emma is attractive and likes football pretty handy combination imo.

It was the message coming out of the club officially and unofficially all year ...

Following your argument to its logical conclusion, we'd have every club in the AFL knocking on our door to sign up Cale Morton because the club sent out a message that he's a top bloke, is hitting the gym, and is about to turn the corner.

Rival football clubs would have a very clear idea of Moloney's capabilities, strengths and weaknesses, regardless of anything the club does and says. One of the arguments often trotted out on these boards in regards to Prendergast and co is that "they're professionals, they're paid to get it right". That's true, and no club is going to go putting players on $200K a year on the basis of some spin from a rival head coach.

I cant get over the fact that Moloney decided to pi$$ off overseas to Vegas when he has no club to play for.

Youd think someone in his position would be running laps day in day out to maintain fitness and show how committed he is.

Ah well, his loss.

Are you for real? He served up a poor season but that shouldn't mean he loses his annual leave entitlements. I'd say there are a ton of AFL players overseas right now, enjoying the only break they get from the pressure cooker environment that is AFL footy. Give the bloke a break and spare the rest of us.

Dam straight i am for real. I dont know about you but if i had no place of employment the last thing i would do is go to Vegas. I would be doing anything i possibly could to land something.

Great post, worth the derailing. Seems pretty much the complete package!

In an everyday situation I'd agree with you what you've just said, but I'm not an AFL footballer with an agent making representations on my behalf. Brent's played ~150 games of AFL footy, that's enough of a demonstration to potential employers of what he can do. Brent doesn't need to be here for all of this. He's only a phone call away if need be.

Won't be happy if we cannot get one of Dawes or Pederson!!

Epic Fail if IF so!

You'd carry on if we got them, because you wouldn't like what we paid, and you'd carry on if we miss them, as it's a sign of how useless we are. You win either way.

I won't lose a nano second of sleep over either.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
