FAREWELL JORDAN GYSBERTS

Featured Replies

I haven't read every post in this thread - (haven't got the time) but there are a lot of assumptions Gys wants to stay at the MFC and get the best out of himself.

Maybe the kid doesn't want to stay here... maybe hes looking for opportunity elsewhere.

And there is nothing wrong with competition for spots all over the ground - Talls are a lot harder to come by then mids - I am confident we can continue to draft and develop what we have on the list.... What I am not confident is that we have quality talls (obviously now drafting Dawes helps)

But Fitz, Martin & Sellar are not going to hold key positions they're all pintch hitters - We need as many decent talls as we can get

 

Neeld has a mould.

Those that dont fit will be moved on.

I suspect JG does NOT

Many need to stop fussing over this or that favor player and consider whats best for the team and its balance.

Morton and pick 49 for Pederson is more like it!

Fantastic, the club with the worst midfield in the competition trades out one of its few talented young onballers for a 25 year old, bona fide VFL superstar.

How about we trade Trengove for Cale Hooker next.

God Mr Tim Harrington is getting bent over on every trade this trade period. Someone teach this guy how to negotiate...

 

This fires sale reflects on FD deficiencies, not the players. We've traded one of our few "potential" A graders for another clubs 25 yo C grader...... Because Neeld didn't have the abiliy to coach him........farken joke this trade.


Done deal. Gys for Pederson

Neeld & Harrington are building a squad to save their jobs next season, and have no interest in building a premiership list.

I thought list management was bad under Bailey & Prendergast, but this is disgraceful.

This makes me feel sick. Will become the worst trade mark my words club have lost there mind. Awefull

Cant believe this one. Epic fail on our part not to be able to bring this guy on in our system.

If you are trying to re-build a club based on hard work, commitment to the plan, and hardness in the contest, then you draft OUT those players lacking in these attributes, and draft IN those with these attributed in abundance.

OUT: Moloney, Gyberts, Morton (prob?), Cook, etc...

IN: Viney, Pick 4 (Wines?), Hogan, Dawes, Pedersen, Byrnes, Rodan.

No point holding onto a player who does not fit into the team or culture you are trying to build.

Good luck Jordan. Welcome aboard Cam

Go Dees.


This is the first trade I'm a bit iffy on. Not sure of the need to get Pederson in and positive we (or Gysberts himself) didn't get the most out of Gysberts.

Time will tell on this one. On 2012 form, its basically two VFL players changing places.

Way I look at it:

Who would I trust: gysberts or pederson in the heat of the battle? Pederson.

Who would I trust: morton or rodan in the heat o the battle? Rodan.

Simple as that.

My immediate reaction is disappointment because I always thought Gysberts would be a gun but surely, surely......with the experience we have in the FD (Craig, Rawlings, Leigh Brown etc) we must know what we're doing getting rid of him. I guess it's all about whether you have faith in the Neeld way, or you have doubts and think that the "type" that he is trying to have at the Dees is overdone. I'm on the fence at the moment....reckon I'll know by about Round 11.

Neeld & Harrington are building a squad to save their jobs next season, and have no interest in building a premiership list.

I thought list management was bad under Bailey & Prendergast, but this is disgraceful.

I thought olisik was going to take the cake for worst post I'd ever read.

I was wrong.

Wow.

Harrington has no interest in building a premiership list.

Just wow.


Im not happy but im calm.

Like almost everyone else on this site, I have no idea if this swap is good or bad. The only evidence I have is that Gys failed to get into a D-grade side desperate for players in his role, whereas Pederson couldn't break into a better team where his role was covered by better players. On that basis (and leaving aside the question of what roles we need which I guess the FD knows more than me), the swap sounds like a win.

 

Im not happy but im calm.

Pretty much where I am. On both deals.

I don't hate the trade, I hate our past recruiting decisions.

I'm howling at the moon.

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
