The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

[hardtack 10,187]

Darren Jolly to be announced on a 4 year deal at Melbourne... Not sure how many if any are purely coaching..

My own little addition to this is he will have the 4 year coaching role but within that each year his playing contract will be 1 year basis...

could maybe churn out 1 or 2 years at best!

Isn't this a topic for passing on rumours... not creating them?

[Disco Demons 92]

Cameron Schwab front loaded a lot of contracts. I think this created a bad culture amongst the players. Paid on potential. Melbournes motto

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

4 year deal?

Surely this cannot be serious.

[Household Demon 34]

This is a rumour passed on

[Household Demon 34]

I reckon you're lying

Says the person who claimed we would have selection dilemmas in 2013

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

5-6 changes a week confirmed this

[Ted Lasso 17,312]

4 year deal is just crazy,

2 year deal, one as a player one as a coach and see how he goes, can always re-sign, can't be breaking contracts if he turns out to be a dud.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,086]

If neeld was still coach they'd be hollering all over the city: jolly? That club is a joke!

but if anyone knows what they are doing Paul Roos is the man.

From a reasonably reputable facebook trade rumours page:

"BREAKING:

Richmond's Dustin Martin and his management have advised the football club that their desire is to pursue offers from rival clubs."

I know Dustin Martin is quite talented but would we really want to throw everything at him? His attitude seems to stink and the fact he is leaving a club that is on the up and could well be top 4 next season for money shows how much he cares about being a team man. My opinion anyway.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,022]

He is going to the Hawks. Lock it in.

Might not be leaving for money. He may be unhappy for other reasons such as how he's been managed.

He's clearly a player with talent but high risk. The question to ask is whether that risk is worth it.

No way in hell they have the cash.... Unless..........

From everything I've heard the Tigers have been very understanding and tried to help him. We need midfieldtalent bad but I really hope we don't touch him.

[Red N Blue Society 165]

Free agency....Awesome for some teams...... and devastatingly destructive for others...Big big loss for Tigers & very unfortunate for them. He may be a bit wild but boy can he play.

Just when the tigers come good there potentially best player leaves them...

He's not a free agent.

I believe Paul Roos is currently in WA talking with Fremantle's Viv Michie. Victorian boy who has had a few injuries and can't break into their midfield (Barlow, Mundy and Fyfe). Would be a great get if true.

I knew he flew over to talk Hogan into an extended deal last week was it? will be pretty happy if we can talk michie around even though i heard a rumour/truth that he did another injury late in the WAFL season?

source?

Is it true he is undergoing a knee reconstruction?

I believe he just won Peel thunders BnF playing only 15 games?

[Steve13 457]

Michie tore the meniscus in his right knee.

Out of contract, very interesting if true

Cartledge or reco, which one is it?

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a serious knee, not a reco anyway. I remember reading it.

He is a talented player, has just found it tough breaking into freo's established midfield. Would love if he came to us.

Sorry mate I remember seeing this blokes name pop up a while ago but can't quite recall why? It also appears he has only played 1 game in the AFL and was below average with 13 disposals (unless if he was the sub).

I saw a nice clip on youtube regarding a game of his in the WAFL, just curious how's he gone all year? and curious why Roos would consider him a target?

Cheers

Seems like cartledge (meniscus).

"Michie fell awkwardly during the second term against Swan Districts and tore the meniscus in his right knee."

Cheers, then that's only a few week to a month type injury.
