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....

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.....

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.

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.

The tagline for this thread is spot on - it is a very hyperthetical ..

Thanks Grapeviney,

Exactly...no weed here people.... just a nice thought that come to mind..

HYPERTHETICAL...if individuals can read & understand this..Or maybe Ignorant was what "some" of you read instead!

And no not a troll either...I think Ive posted enough by now to put things out there in a dream sense to mull over like alot of people tend to do here as its a forum is it not???...

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
