Operation Selwood Brothers

What if we could get all four Selwood Bros together at MFC through trade/free agency...

Arent they all victorian boys? All midfielders?

Would the lure of family & $$$ & being in the red n blue be tempting to come to MFC...

Imagine the possibilities if MFC presented & landed this sort of deal.

Nobody has floated the idea that I have seen as yet..... but I would have them all...and we need a midfield to assist with Chunk & Viney lets face it!

It would be like a Judd/Barrassi/Ablett scenario type coup for us..

I wonder if we will ever try something like this at MFC.....it would be nice if they tried...and stamped their feet and got their man a little more often.

Well at least we did it with Mitch Clark! Pure Gun!

Well I can dream cant I....

 

That's something Neil from the young ones would come up with, get off the grass.

"Oh no, it's a poltigoose"

 

Yeah you can dream and it would be great to get the 4 brothers in one team, instant midfield. Couldnt see it happening tho, contractual timing etc.....


Our free kick count would improve dramatically.

This is surely a troll.

The Meth Coke Selwood is done.

Was this just one of those "Flashes" upstairs?

Good Weed on the weekend i suspect.

:)

Let's examine this:

1. Troy - Not up to AFL has been Geelong VFL captain/part time job at the club, would only want at MFC/Via Casey

2. Adam - Barely up to AFL as a slow half back flanker, would be a list clogger

3. Joel - Captain of the most successful club in the league

4. Scott - decent tagger/defensive midfielder

So you'd offer West Coast a high pick and pay overs for the Adam/Scott combination and could get them. Say an early second round pick for Scott and pay overs with a third round pick for Adam and offer them big cash. Then with 2 brothers together in Victoria if you offered Troy a big money VFL deal and a job at the club you might get him.

The issue would then turn to Joel. You'd have to offer both a monstrous amount of cash and draft picks to even get his interest. Or you wait until he becomes a free agent but with his loyalty you'd still have to blow the bank.

All up you'd get 1 elite midfielder, 1 decent tagger/defensive midfielder and 2 guys who wouldn't make the team. And you spend an entire draft class and more plus a tonne of cash.

Alternatively with could overdraft Nathan Jones' brother and have a solid brother combination on our list and forget about spending big for no reason.

We've got Mitch Clark and Dawes the last two years without breaking the bank. For obvious reasons they haven't been a success but I'd still say they were wise moves. We can now focus on a midfielder from any of the other 17 clubs who fits the right age/experience/cost bracket. Especially if we land Chocko Williams or Roos I would imagine there'd be a young player somewhere for the right money and opportunity would be interested. I know if I was a Josh Kennedy type midfielder not getting a game at my current club and someone pointed towards an experienced quality AFL coach with the worst midfield in the league I'd be very interested.

About as sensible and realistic as getting the 4 Gibb brothers to MFC - Barry, Robin, Maurice and Bryce.

There's a very good reason for that.

With deep respect to Maurice and Robin who have passed away of the other two, Barry is the better footballer.

This is an absolutely crackpot idea.

If you disagree, check the articles from about a year ago when Kevin Sheedy floated the idea.

That should confirm it.

I thought that you were implying that they were all in for surgery :-)

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
