    Here's what I've heard, and make of it what you will...

    Carlton are practically demanding a trade of Dunn, Strauss, Davis, Spencer and Bail for Murphy. They were also pretty annoyed that we couldn't throw Morton in there.

    LMFAO!

    Atley would be a bloody good pick up.

    Has the speed of blease at half back but actually touches the footy more than six times a game. Good player.

    I know he was a reasonably high draft pick but why hasn't he succeeded at North I wonder?

    From Big Footy today:

    "THE good news keeps coming at North Melbourne with Shaun Atley re-signing until the end of 2015. "

    I would LOVE atley, they would want a whole lot for him though, if it's true in the first place.

    He has done very well for them. Every time they run the ball out of their back half with pace and deliver it with precision, that's Shaun Atley. Without him their drive would be cooked.

    Wasn't Atley also given (although sparingly) occasional stints rotating on the ball this season. Just didn't have the tank to do it regularly. If this correct would fit nicely with Roos game plan of having run off half back in the Kennelly/Shaw/Malceski style and an ability to develop a tank with occasional runs through the middle.

    I have not heard anything of Atley being approached until reading this thread

    Where would we fit him?

    I think this comes from a guy who bet his mate he could get a rumour in the papers a few years back and he did. Might be trying again, be interesting to see if it hits the papers or SEN tomorrow.

    Atley is one of the players we missed with the Cook pick where we drafted for needs rather than best available. Dare I also mention D...... from the same draft.

    Read nothing into it. The North poster on bigfooty who started it is a known troll and card carrying [censored].

    Does anyone think that Roos is quietly discussing with Dale Thomas if he wants to come to us?

    I hope not.

    I think there are other options out there that would suit us....

    I'd prefer leaders we recruit, come from the Swans, the Cats, even the Hawks & Eagles. the rest well,,,,,

    For the spend, I think we can do better than Thomas. Swallow, Adams, Atley, Selwood, Conca, Sloane - they're the types we should be targeting IMO.

    As an aside, Daniel Cross is an absolutely no brainer, and I reckon we'd have to be in a very good position to land him.

  • Quote

    Like who??

    a couple of Elders, as discussed.

    a couple of young kids in the early 20's as has been discussed, a Gaff, Adams, Selwood, Shuey, etc, etc.

    Forget the 25+ players chasing money, unless they are real hard ball winners like a Boak, or such.

    & the rest we can use on drafting quality kids to develop in our New development system. we can find another Wines.

    Game Day on Ch7 this morning mentioned that Darren Jolly was spotted catching up with Paul Roos and Brett Allison, and could be heading to Melbourne.

    Kris Pendlebury worth a shot as a mature ages defender?

  • Quote

    Pardon my ignorance if this has been raised but what about Billy Longer? Ruckman who has had 2/3 years in the system and is looking to come home. Looks accomplished as a player and is still very young. Just wondering people's thoughts on this

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
