i feel like Roos is going to be talking to alot of players come this next few months.

My guess though that instead of speaking to duds like Gillies and Sellar he will be talking to real AFL players.

Dusty Martin in a Melbourne jumper next year?

We are leading the race :)

Should we be wearing the yellow jumper then?

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.

Was that not Paul Roos I saw On The Couch last night at the Exhibition Building in Carlton?

If Roos convinces any two players amongst Sloane, Martin, D.Swallow, S.Selwood, Shuey and or Rockliff to come to the Dees for 2014 I will buy myself the newest and latest Gillette razor, have a clean shave and then walk into the Melbourne FC and sign my partner up as a member (I'm already a member, I converted her a couple years ago, but will have to sign her up at some point).

Hahaha I have no idea, I probably won't even get around to buying the razor as I would die from a combined heart attack and stroke due to all the excitement :)

Ashley Smith of the WCE has been offered to Victorian clubs by his management. Home sick, has his girlfriend located in Melbourne and feels due a freshen up.

do you know which club?

all I know is that he is a very quick half back.

Have heard a whisper that a 3 way deal between us, Tigers and GWS might be in the gun! GWS would get Martin but Richmond not happy with pick offered. We come in with Pick 2 and we get Taylor Adams and a lower pick. Other picks swapped between all parties! Hmmm....

I have noticed your inside information have been pretty spot on.

il take your word for it!

Any information n regards to Swallow?

Only thing I have heard is we are interested but Mr Roos is casting the net far and wide so expect some surprises!

Surprises of the good type or fringe players at other clubs (ie rejects who can't get a game)?

Is Taylor Adams worth this?

I don't know much about him tbh.

He's not worth pick 2 , GWS would have to offer more, I think Roos and co are astute enough to make sure we get what is best for the club. As a side, I heard Terry Wallace talk up a guy Lambert from the VFL anyone know about him

He's captain of the Northern Blues, i think he's alright but personally i have watched him play a few times and he reminds me a little bit of a few boys on our list, he would dominate at VFL level but struggle at AFL level, would be surprised if we draft him,

if GWS gave us Adams and pick 10 i'd be pretty happy.

Useless player to us IMO. We need mids, not more flankers!

I hope your right... I'd love for us to turn our Pick2 into two top-end tough players. Adams already has a couple of season under the AFL belt. & I'd love to get young Crouch from the draft with another pick?

If we were to trade pick 2, then being in a position to pick up Crouch would work for me.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
