Simple yes or no...should we keep 1 or more of these MFC contracted players.

Edit: Any trade would involve club and player to agree on terms. This poll is about wheather we stick with these guys or offload them for something we need.

Keep Gys, he had a rough year. He should bounce back and has potential

Keep Morton just because we wont get anything for him. He can help our Casey team win a premiership haha

Trade Martin, while he has value

I think you'll find keeping gysberts will either make or break him. Last pre season he was running with Blease. Blease over the season improved and bought in. I know Gys had injury issues, but the fact that he didn't play seniors made me assume he hadn't bought in to the program.

With another year, I reckon he's going to have to realise he's going to have to buy in this year otherwise he may no longer be in the AFL next year. Once he does this I reckon his upside will be huge and we'll have a damn good player on our hands.

Surely it all depends on what value we can get for them, and given that all three have live contracts (I think), whether they are prepared to be traded. Personally I'm not fussed either way, but perhaps Gysberts may warrant another year more than the other two, in the hope that he can have a bit more luck injury-wise, and get the other parts of his act together.

All down to what you can get. Trade any and all is fine by me

The structure of this poll is flawed because it suggests that we should just trade these players regardless of what is on offer - that's why I voted 'no' on all 3.

Although if the question had the option of should we use as trade bait, then I would have answered 'yes' to all except Gysberts.

Don't just trade for no reason. These are all contracted players, which have all shown promising moments of talent in the past and should not be just disregarded for the sake of it.

Yeah, depends on what is coming back.

I would like to keep Martin but I know that he has value in the market - the other two don't.

I want a ready made mid, Martin can get that.

The other two cannot.

Agree with this, although I would only want to trade Morton but what is the point as he has little trade value

If we trade Gys we would not get a lot and it may well come back to haunt us

I want to keep Martin, particularly after the rule changes but he is the only one of the 3 with value

even with a suitable trade the player has to agree. So many factors and variables.

Keep Martin as insurance. don't want to beat up Clarlke and Dawes in the Ruck. Martin and Gawn will be very handy as support for Jamar. Defensive stocks look good with Jamar pushing b ack in 2013

I would be shocked at the almost unanimous verdict to keep Gysberts if the Morton vote wasn't split 50 / 50.

Because we need to retain a swag of woulda, coulda, shoulda's at our club so the status quo of too-soft-to-admit-fault Melbourne supporters remain.

Go on, then - dish me up your "perfectly valid" excuses for their failings.

Sorry thaipantsman but Jamar doesn't have a defensive bone in his body. Couldn't see him doing anything useful down back as he is pretty damn slow and not nearly athletic enough to be able to run with an opposition kpf.

I've seen him take some timely grabs down back though Pass!

Maybe on a resting ruckman or when he was dragged down there but I can't see him spending most of a game down there, we need him in the ruck.

I think Morton and Martin should be moved on. It's not that I don't like them (even Morton), but that I think they would both benefit from a new club and a new environment. In Martins case I just have a feeling that he's gone as far as he can with this group, while obviously Morton has had a disastrous few years and is in desperate need of a fresh start.

Gys had a shocking year and there have been persistent rumours (often on these forums) that he is not taking well to the new style of coaching, but I think he is a massive talent and probably worth persisting with to see if he can get his issues sorted out and cement a spot in the side.

If you look at our 2012 list you see that its prettymuch devoid of a lot of natural leadership or something similar that I cant quite put my name on. Martin has done some good things for the club - although tends to see surprsied when he does - but i think he just has a lack of something that a lot of players on our list lack that I cant quite name - just a presence or maybe confidence. Dunno. But I think pederson is the way to go and with him and Dawes in the side Id think that Martin and Sellar might not have much room left.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    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
