Are there players we are forgetting

[Grimseyisgod 378]

Are we forgetting about Jordan Russell? he would be a good quality pickup

what about Brad Symes?

what about Clinton Young

what about Tom Murphy

what about James hawksley

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

I don't reckon Neeld and co are overlooking anything. They will talk with every club and seek advantage at every point.

Will Craig tip us into Brad Symes?

[pantaloons 2,019]

The sooner Rivers and Moloney make their minds up, the sooner we get an idea of what our free agency compo would likely be and can make a better decision about whether to dilute or lose it with further free agency signings.

I'm a big wrap for Jordan Russell. Haven't heard much about him. Maybe I'm one of a select few who think he is worth chasing?

You're not the only one. I rate him and would be handy across the HB line.

Clinton Young was rumoured to have toured Collingwood yesterday. He would be great for us out on a wing/hff.

[Grimseyisgod 378]

If i could see 3 players coming from this...

Jordan Russell

Clinton Young

Brad Symes

all perfect..

maybe get one of them and fill Jared Rivers gap

[Nasher 33,617]

I was trying pretty hard to forget them, actually.

Why??

just because some of them didnt work at their respective clubs, doesnt mean they wont dominate at Melbourne

Tarnished forever by that fumble in the goal square that gifted jack a goal.

[spirit of norm smith 16,617]

Clinton Young as a free agent would be a great signing. Unsure why MFC is not keen. He has premiership glory. Surely a 2-3yr deal with MFc at good coin would entice. Very classy and has the pace we need.

This decision may be hanging on, & hinging from the Farren Ray decision,

I guess it would depend on the order of our things.

[Jordie_tackles 354]

Players we are forgetting, taggert, Tynan, Gysberts, Strauss, all missed 2012 for certain reasons......add this to Viney, pick 4 and pick 20 and our midfield options are looking better to me, in terms of improvement.

Ontop of a base of Jones, Grimes, Sylvia, Mckenzie, Blease, Howe edit Trengove

Edit again with Tapscott, Bail, Magner, Evans, Nicho

Hopefully we can make a decent midfield out of all this?

We are getting there

[Vipercrunch 2,847]

+ Trenners to that base too.

[Jordie_tackles 354]

Yes just came back hoping nobody had noticed.....so sorry trenners

[GRUN DEE 69]

Jordan Russell? Yuk!

[dee-luded 2,959]

Jordan Russell? Yuk!

Stepping stones Grun dee.

We tried the youth build but forgot about the need for a strong culture, to underpin the whole foundations.

So we are left with some fine young men who have an enormous job to lift the club, off the back of not much more than excellent characters.

We need IMO, to shift many older players, as they have learnt the ways of the old culture.

Bringing in some mature players from successful clubs should help to set in train the new ways.

[Lord Travis 10,793]

Jordan Russell would be a good get. He'd give us drive out of the backline, something we struggle with at the moment due to an abundance of talls and poor kicks.

Wouldn't bother with the rest of those names though.

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

The rookies at Geelong three played games and now may get delisted, excess mids e.g Jordan Schroder

Young players from those clubs who would be playing at mfc could benefit from a new home

if we are after russell then there is one less club to compete with.

What ever happened to the david ellard rumours...would have thought he could be a handy fwd pocket

[MadAsHell 4,217]

Certainly keen on Russell.

I'd be keen to take a punt on Steven Salopek also as cost would be very minimal and he'd certainly fit a need with the ability to play as an inside and outside midfielder.

With Byrnes already tucked away, fingers crossed we can land a KPF (Dawes, Gumby or Brown) and Farren Ray and we've suddenly obtained that experience we're looking for.
