Time to start a sack Roos thread?

Maybe the AFL have instigated a plot to send MFC interstate (Darwin?).

First step - Infiltrated the club with PJ & PR to undermine our existence.

Second step - draft Jolly & Martin & then watch the rot set in.

Then again maybe I've just had too much to drink

    Geez the way this thread has increased in pages I thought we had landed him.

    Reminded me when we got Roos and BOOM the thread took off.

    Btw it's a yes from me only cause Roos is at the helm.

    How can we not do it. Instantly he is our number 1 midfielder if not number 1 player. He is a gun. Better than our other high picks.

    Utmost faith in Roosy to get the best out of him. We need talent, and he is the most talented player available

  • Quote

    Correct, he's a Castlemaine boy...his family has strong roots there, they have been there for generations...all of them cut from the same tough cloth.

    The Great RDB was a Castlemaine boy too.

    If we are trying to build a good colcher at our club this is the last player we want. He Coureses to must off field drama and will not beable to handel it.

    ????

    I'm feeling very uneasy about all of this, and hope he has his sights set on another club.

    If we offer pick two that would have been what we could have picked him up in the 2010 draft originally if my memory serves me correctly so in saying that we don't lose much really.

    Would actually be better getting him now cause we have a coach who is actually a REAL coach and not a trainee who can't coach to save themselves.

    Maybe trade pick 2 for Martin?

    Absolutely no way at 700k! Totally against even entertaining the possibility of getting this deal done! There are many better and more stable players we should be throwing this money at!

    Oh yeah? Tell me one better player on the market?

    And don't say Dale Thomas or Lance Franklin

    Like who?

    Put the guy under Paul Roos wing he will win a Brownlow, look what he has done under an ordinary coach.

    Roosy will pull his head in.

    I think you have.

    Trade pick 2 for David Swallow and Pick 10

    Trade pick 10 for Dusty

    Personally I don't reckon we'll be an option for Richmond if pick 2 isn't involved in some way. I think if we get dusty, Adams is a more realistic option than Swallow.

  • Quote

    He won't want to go to Brisbane,

    And if the offer you said is true we need to pull the finger out of our arse and offer 700 k

    If he wants to leave they will have to deal with pick 10

    And Swallow apparently wants to be closer to his brother so its realistic.

    Why would Brisbane bother?

    He is a Vic boy i don't think he will go to Brisbane when he can go to a side with a confirmed coach who in the past has had premiership success as a coach and all australian honours.

    Brisbane pls

    Lets see what roosy says on the couch tonight

    Apologies if someone's already mentioned in this thread, but I seem to recall that the Swans stated they would take Dustin Martin at number one in 2009 PRIOR to that draft taking place (ie, ahead of $cully and Trengove).

    Reckon Roos will be into landing Martin big time.

    He's not after $700k.

    Tigers have low balled him, offering around $480k, only $30k more than see on now.

    Lions have already tabled a 4 year $650k deal.

    Now I think I'm starting to see the light... he's off alright.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
