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.

Nobody has floated the idea that I have seen as yet.....

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: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
