And that's because this "pact" stuff is carp.

If it were true like you tell it, they'd all have singed in January.

Believe it or rot, M

But, isn't it all unfolding as reported???

Hmmmm?

Oh come on, you're not that daft.

There may have once been some sort of pact, and they may have signed on for the most part, but that's because they can tell they're odds on to win a flag there with their mates if they stay.

It's not because a handful of them made a pact as teenagers.

No, no, my mail came in late last year.

It wasn't a witches' coven or some sorority prank....a group of players pledged that they would all sign on to see how far they could go.

That's all. No need to believe me.

I think it all depends on what they're offered by other clubs. Unless they get Boyd-like money, there's not currently a great reason to leave. I'd give Treloar Boyd-like money though. But that's just me. Apparently, Collingwood have offered him $750k. That shouldn't be enough to prise him, unless he really wants back to Victoria.

750k?

Gee whiz...and he does a knee? Wow.

Clubs are getting desperate.

I hope our club stitches up Hogan ala Freo with Pav....they managed to hold onto him.

We have a better young list than Fremantle. I know Fremantle look good atm, but Pav, Sandilands, Mundy, Johnson, and even Barlow, aren't too far off retiring. When Fremantle go through that inevitable football regression - where they slide outside the 4, MFC will be going through the opposite - hopefully anyway. It is all about timing, and IMO, the timing will be on our side in regards to Hogan.

haven't looked at the Freo list, but if what your saying is right, then Rossy Lyon had better do better with his list, than he did at the Saints.

Exactly, it's like continuing to talk about a player we could have drafted three years ago.

more like temporarily close & pin, for a later date

again we should have gone hard for him when he wasn't a name 2 years back.

just like Danger & Boak back about 5 yrs or so.

Its should be Henderson now... & Prestia. et al.

We can offer pick 4 and Howe for Dylan Shiel. Thoughts???

Now that Shiel has signed, surely Treloar or Coniglio would be the target?

Happily give up either pick 4 (about correct weight) or Howe (a steal) for Coniglio.

I don't think Treloar would be realistic.

Totally different case. 3 Years ago Ollie Wines was available and wanting yes Wanting to get to the MFC!

Dylan Shiel already a GWS Player and clearly see's his team going places!

Time to wise up to the reality!

One we could /should have got , the other was just smoke and mirrors!

Moving on!!

No one cares with your retrospective carp anymore. Get over yourself.

Nope - both part of the pact.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
