Would we have the cap room to afford someone like that and still be safe if a couple of players really improve in the next 2 years and look for bigger contracts? paying dawes and co decent money would leave a dent

Guess it's the way footy is these days- many players value money over loyalty and it's that shift in thinking which can enable us to buy in talent and improve, conversely we can lose talent this way too, but I guess you have to have that talent before worrying about losing it (lucky for us we don't)

swings and roundabouts, you win some you lose some. Cross your fingers we are in such a predicament in the future as it means we are going places and just hope that the players can sniff a flag and want to hang around at reduced market salaries

    We'll have the coin, Flash's contract is nearly up.

    Sylvia would want to have a good year or he'll take a cut.

    Neeld will cut lads to squeeze a player of Thomas quality in and more importantly,

    he fits the right age bracket and would add a lot to the side.

    I think we could definitely afford a big offer for a Thomas type player

    and I doubt Daisy would go interstate - as he is a Drouin lad and gets back there quite a bit.

    Sylvias a UFA this year. we will lose him, im sure of that. This season will determine if that is a loss to us or not

    till he signs this will go on all year , and we better get used to it with free agency as it will not stop

    He'll stay - make a decision by mid year when he has a few games under his belt

    He said he didn't want it to drag on like the cloke case

    Chip Frawley is a RFA this year. The most important issue for the club would be to sure up his signature. It will cost the club, but it needs to happen before a Hawthorn or Saints (rumoured to be interested) Jump in. IMO Chip deserves more than Dawes, and a longer contract. No point signing him for 2 years for UFA!!

    rubbish!

    I'd have Flower, Neitz, Schwartz, Lyon, Jakovich, et al ahead of him day in day out. not to mention champs from days before yore.

    IF Col finally shows his very best throughout a season, we will also have a great season and he may want to stay with a club that is on the rise.

    IF he doesn't, then it will probably be best for all if we were to part ways; pity about the lack of recompense though.

    He'll stay - make a decision by mid year when he has a few games under his belt

    Maybe he, like it is rumoured quite a few others, can't stand the thought of playing under Buckley :-)))

    Chip comes out of contract at the end of 2014.

    If those guys were as good as Buddy Franklin we would all be premiership supporters, Franklins a match winner and an A grade champion of the AFL, the type of player our club could only dream about.

    Produces? Bit of a problem there. You said the last 150 years. Names already suggested above anyway. Add Ronald Dale to that list ...

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
