Latest murmurings of a crazy time

Featured Replies

Stop posting these gifs B-H, I keep getting distracted and foget the point you are making.

There's a point?

 

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.

Doggies have some pretty good picks to trade.

id love to end up with Pederson and Ray though

 

I need a fix of Nudge

Matt Suckling says hello.

Rich has had a pretty good year but you save top 5 picks for top line players (if a trade is on the table), not B grade midfielders.

Rich is an A-Grader.


Rich is an A-Grader.

Let me see, who might Brisbane be after with Pick 4, who they consider would be worth more to them than Rich ???

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.

GUMBY!

Yay

You have a habit of releasing inside information a few hours before it is released PaulRB.

Any more news to this or is it just a gut feel?

I want him. I want Wines more though.

Caddy gone to Cats. Done deal.

You cannot help good luck Redleg

My spirits lifted on this news

Is Rich worth more than Tippet ect? i think we would want something nice in return for Pick 4 personally

Because people are saying Tippet could go for anything around 10 nothing close to pick 4 or 5 even

Starting to wonder if pick 20, Ray and Pedersen are all linked into a potential deal


Pederson and Clint Young to collingwood and Dawes to Bulldogs are the latest.

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

Epic Fail if IF so!

Or this (hopeful maybe):

heard any thing about cam pedersen emma?

will get to Melbourne at some point it seems

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

just saying

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.

Is there any truth in the rumours of Daniel Rich to dees for pick 4?

Would be very happy to see this trade happen!

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.

 

Didn't Wellingham go overseas during his latest dealing "leaving the two clubs to facilitate a trade"?

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
