If Jay Clark said it, then it's almost certainly not true.

We've all read rumours in the papers like that before, and it's generally meaningless.

There's still a lot of water to go under the bridge here.

That's true, but you just can't help but have the feeling that the major players will not be coming to us.

We other than Roos have very little going for us until we are successful on the field. That is hard to do from our position.

That is why the PP is not just helpful but essential to try and sway a deal.

Even with the free agency last year PA got 2 good picks for Chaplin and Pearce while we got 1 far worse one for Beamer and Rivers. Even with us taking Byrnes that was a bad decision for us.

I reckon we need about 3 PP's actually to try and get clubs to influence players to come to us.

And maybe they wont

We will build with our own picks and find hidden gems.

When Roos was at Sydney no major players went there.

Possibly not, but if that does happen then it gives us a chance to watch Roos earn his money in one of the areas he's best at. Identifying fringe players from other clubs that we can get for little cost who will excel under his influence.

It can start with the likes of Cross, maybe Roos feels he could turn Jordan Gysberts and Maerick Weller around, Shane Savage could get more opportunities at Melbourne, Mitch Hallahan also. Maybe George Horlin-Smith's a bit upset at missing out on games in the 2nd half of the year?

We may not get any big names, but we may be able to get some players who just haven't had the opportunity to shine as of yet?

With all the other Clubs and media attention focused on Adams and Martin, maybe we should quietly arranging a trade for Swallow? I would be happy to see him as part of our midfield (longtime- term) and Cross (short- term).

I stopped reading Jay clarks articles after he tweeted last year that melbourne had signed Angus Monfries on a for year deal.

The guy is a tool.

Haha

I love it when posters pick and choose which articles they choose to believe and which they don't.

It's absolutely 100 percent believable that Collingwood or Richmond would be most players preferred destination.

Ahh you lot.

I hope we land a couple of decent mids for next year, but I completely believe articles that state such things.

This is the MFC we are talking about.

He might be, but it's hardly a stretch to think Melbourne wouldn't be his preferred destination.

It wouldn't be mine either.

I think the calculated stating we are not in for Martin, is related to our desire to lure Adams.

I doubt Richmond have room for him if Dusty stays.

I wonder if Carrs search for the best payday engaged many Vic clubs interest until the AFL told dustman to make sure he doesn't waste his opportunity!

I think the plans for him are to play ball, sit down, & shutTFup.

interesting how this 3way will rollout.

It's hard to imagine any quality mid would want to come to the MFC.

I know we have Roos now but we have have won 3 of the past 100 games

It's still going to be very hard to attract players when other teams are finals bound and interested in them.

Can someone please confirm what the big deal about Adams is?

Apart from being charged with serious assault in a pub and getting a couple of 20 possession games, what has he done in his career to suggest he's going to be the next big thing.

12 of his 16 games this year he had 20+ possessions. In fact he averaged 21 possessions and 3 tackles a game. He shows a good inside and out balance and has a bit of mongrel and skill about him. All coming into a third year when most players start to blossom.

If GWS can get Dustin Martin in the PSD, why would they trade Adams for him?

We should offer our 2nd pick for him, approx pick 19

Losing Adams and getting Martin & pick 19 is a lot better than losing Adams and only getting Martin back.

That's how I'd be selling it.

At the same time, we may even be able to convince Adams to come to us in the PSD.

Or a "Lochlan Veale trade" where we trade a pick or player (Jamar) to GWS for peanuts, and in return GWS refuse to trade him, so Adams goes into the PSD where we can select him with PSD pick 2.

Just because (if) they get Martin in the PSD doesn't mean they will take unders for Adams. For a kid that went at pick 13 two years ago and from Rnd 6-23 avgd 22 disp, 9 cont poss and 4 clearances, pretty sure pick 19 won't get the job done in a shallow draft.

However I do understand Adams can go to Melb via PSD but just can't see it happening with all the clubs interested in him, our best bet is presenting the best deal.

I agree. If you think Martin will conveniently wait until the PSD so GWS qill collect him for free that is being naive. Richmond will trade for Asams if that is their target

You know it's going to be very hard when you have a record like that and most of the football world including some of your own supporters don't want you to get assistance that's been put into place for the purpose of helping clubs in that very position.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
