He also said he wouldn't have taken the Tigers job if he knew their financial position. Yet after his contract finished they were in a worse place financially.

No doubt their recruiting was rubbish. They reportedly recruited Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls without seeing him play and took a long time to realise he was dyslexic. But there development was just as bad. All 5 they picked showed talent at one stage but never kicked on.

Well one did.

Delidio was their first pick, but the other 4 were fails

    what did he say?

    Can't give the full thing (as I was on hold on a phone call)

    But he mentioned something about expecting the player that they would have chosen at 2, should still be there at pick 9. Which interested people... Means that the MFC have not had their eye on Kelly, Aish or Scharenberg, but the Freeman, Crouch type of players...

    If they had got Deledio wrong then they truly would be the worst recruiting period in history. Now it's a toss up between us and them. Though I am now very comfortable with the people we have working for us at the minute.

    Tambling, Meyer, Pattinson, Polo. First 2 ended up at Adelaide and Port. Tambling had something if brought along the right way, same with Meyer. Pattinson was big lumbering type who was a bust for sure. Polo had the talent to make it, starred on debut. Pretty ugly draft outside the top 5. If they got the Tambling (Franklin or Jordan Lewis) pick right no one would care about the other 3 mugs.

    Wanted a young player with experience, midfielder and to get back into drafts top 10 and got that.

    Have a few names on the list for pick 2 draft wise and expect 1 or 2 to be there at 9

    Bernie Vince will be ours if the Sylvia compo pick can satisfy Adelaide (without explicitly saying that)

    Thinks Dom Tyson is a good player and is tall (being a bit facetious but you get the point).

    • First option find a midfielder and stay in the top 10.
    • Frustrating due to taking time with what deals will come forward.
    • Met with Tyson Wedsneday and put a forward to him on Thursday then decided to come today.
    • Highly rated tall midfielder, AFL career stop start due to injury, massive upside and a tall midfielder to compliment our small midfielders.
    • sees a 10 year midfielder in him.
    • could have a deal straight away once we find out with our compensation pick.
    • will get on the phone straight away to Adelaide was the compo pick comes out.
    • Vince will fill the void for Sylvia, big time player who fill a needs, Vince excited the club and we excited him.

    Ox gave this a 7/10 in his rating for getting Tyson.

    Luke Dunstan maybe?

    Mahoney said the clubs find out the compensation picks at 5pm

    A few years in the system as well.

    Now we just need to slip something in GWS's recruiter's drinks and then sell them the merits of a Dunn v Shiel straight swap...

    you've got them licking their lips in unison, already. :P

    Barrett now saying compensation picks could be as late as 6pm. A good old fashioned LOL at the AFL's professionalism.

    Seriously why would it need to be pushed back? The AFL have known for a long time who the FA are and the contract situations, no reason for it to be delayed. Poor form AFL.

    So as I understand it the trade period has ended.

    If so is there an overall summary anywhere? link?

    I know Tyson is a good player, but what is it with us picking up guys who have missed, literally, whole seasons with injury?

    Michie and Tyson sound great on paper, but won't be if they do a Dawes and play about 4 games each next year...

    Just sayin.

    Tyson did a PCL didn't he? Not really a long-term concern.

    Not at all a long term concern, or a short one. He's fit and ready for preseason it seems. Due diligence will have been done on these guys, and they will both start with a clean slate injury wise. But, to state the obvious, anybody can get injured at any time, and I can just hear the demonland squeals next year if either goes down, albeit with unrelated injuries.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
