Roos Wants Midfielders.


Grimseyisgod

Recommended Posts

we get 2 good years of leadership from a 29 - 30 Yr old who'll slot straight into out team, & the teaching & onfield guidance they'll give, will bring our Strauss's & Trengoves, Bleases, Taggerts, Fixpatrick's, Clisby's, Watts's, & even Sylvia's on.

the only 25 yr olds we get will be the non John West type, the ones left out in the weather.

the good ones in their mid twenties rarely get let loose, on short contracts.

* Thomas hasn't had a long contract that I recall for the last 3 years or so. playing some sort of games there??? dodgy ankle, attitude or what???

.

well, if that where true then Craigy would have already known it thru his contacts, & so we would know it as well.

His rating, based on his output, he played all of 22 matches this year,,,, & is 2nd on the Crows rankings, out of all their players > http://finalsiren.com/Fixture.asp?SeasonID=2013&TeamID=1&Sort=Rating%20Desc#Player

not bad for shot groins....

& his disposal count is on top,,,, > http://finalsiren.com/Fixture.asp?SeasonID=2013&TeamID=1&Sort=Disposals%20Desc#Player

He was subbed out on a few occasions this year, can't run out the game anymore. He is quickly coming to the end. Not a good pick up.

Dustin Martin is having trouble coming to contractural terms with Richmond

Do we dare?? Can we accept the occasional prisoners' salute. Would it matter?

Punt Road's Korin Gamadji Institute wants to pay Martin to be an Indigenous Ambassador?

What an effing joke.

The Tigers are just using this place for their own ends now.

If Caroline would like to lift the lid on some shady practices and waste of government money - she should focus on Punt Road; more than 50% of the 'programs' and 'accredited training' to help indigenous youth transition into employment have been one-day barista courses...

I am sure it helps to get the desirable and stable job down at the Starbucks on Collins St, but we don't need an institute for that...

They do it to inflate numbers of people and programs at the institute, and as a way of sourcing more money.

To pay for Am-effing-bassadors...

This is if we get the Pick 1 as PP if we get one at all.

Melbourne picks up Daniel Cross, Maverick Weller, put Kyal Horsley on our rookie list, put Nick Lower on our rookie list, put Patrick Vezpremi on our rookie list, pick up whoever gets scrapped out of Corey Enright, Paul Chapman, or Joel Corey, put Liam Patrick on our rookie list, if Steve Clifton is up to it try and get him in the rookie draft, put Darren Jolly on our senior list, maybe if Alik Magin goes in the rookie draft pick him up, pick up a few late picks in the draft.

What trades I think will happen

Pick 3 for David Swallow

Pick 1 for Matt Rosa and Andrew Gaff

Jake Spencer, 2nd round pick and pick 19 for Taylor Adams

Pick up Mathew Stokes

3rd Round pick for Anthony Miles

How I think the team next year in round 1 will look (most likely going to be a Sunday).

Back: Lynden Dunn, James Frawley, Tom McDonald

Halfbacks: Dean Terlich, Colin Garland, Jack Grimes

Midfield: David Swallow, Jack Trengove, Matt Rosa

Half forwards: Jeremy Howe, Mitch Clark, Jack Watts

Forwards: Jack Fitzpatrick, Jesse Hogan, Mathew Stokes

Followers: Mark Jamar, Nathan Jones, Jack Viney

Interchange: Chris Dawes, Matt Jones, Max Gawn, Andrew Gaff, Colin Sylvia, Taylor Adams

Sub: Jimmy Toumpas

Emergencies: Rory Taggert, Daniel Cross, Dean Kent

Melbourne list 2014

Senior list: Nathan Jones, Jack Watts, Jimmy Toumpas, Chris Dawes, Jack Viney, James Frawley, Jack Trengove, Shannon Byrnes, Mitch Clark, Colin Sylvia, Jordie McKenzie, Lynden Dunn, Mathew Stokes, Sam Blease, James Straus, Colin Garland, Cameron Pedersen, Maverick Weller, Tom McDonald, Daniel Nicholson, Darren Jolly, Daniel Cross, James Magner (upgrade off rookie list), Jack Grimes, Michael Evans, Dom Barry, Dean Kent, Luke Tapscott, David Swallow, Max Gawn, Jeremy Howe, Neville Jetta, Mark Jamar, Andrew Gaff, Taylor Adams, Matt Rosa, Rory Taggert, Rohan Bail, Matt Jones, Dean Terlich, Jack Fitzpatrick, Mitch Clisby (upgrade off Rookie list), Anthony Miles.

Rookie: Alik Magin, Steve Clifton, Kyal Horsley, Nathan Stark, Patrick Vezpremi, Nick Lower.

Let me start by saying that rookie list is absolute trash. Young Stark might be worth a look but the other 5 are proven non AFL performers.

Darren Jolly - hell no

Whoever gets scrapped out of Corey Enright..... why would you even put his name in that conversation

Pick up Stokes? What like he would ever go near us

Liam Patrick!!!

Matt Rosa

2 draft picks and Spencer for Taylor Adams oh lord

Yeah one of them might get scrapped, Stokes hasn't been offered a new contract, Liam Patrick was a bad suggestion, Yeah Matt Rosa is a great player certainly better than a lot of our midfielders, Darren Jolly can bring experience and Jake Spencer, a good pick and a fair pick for a young superstar is a definite yes.

What was wrong with them?

They're god-awful.

Obviously.

Vezspremi FCS!

Lower is a list clogger. He's only young & done it on 3 lists now.

Rosa, Clifton, Horsely, Magin... All NO.

If Enright leaves, he retires.

Stokes exceptionally unlikely to leave, especially since he has already signed on.

If I was trading with WestCoast I would not touch Rosa, but Gaff may be your best suggestion.

Coming off a poor year performance-wise but has ability, potentially keen to come home if a rebuild is imminent.

Only way we'd get Jolly is if Jamar gets traded.

And finally, I fully expect to be totally wrong on at least one of these points, making me look like an idiot.

Matt Rosa is injured more than healthy and barely up to it. We can find younger and better options.

Stokes will get a new contract and if not will sign with a contender who will offer him as much as we could, he's quality.

What's the need for Jolly when we have Jamar? Why carry 2 when we have guys in Gawn and Spencer who are proven at least decent.

Adams isn't a potential superstar. He's a good ordinary young midfielder. Finds the footy, needs to work on his disposal. He's worth a first round pick, probably value around mid first rounder. Certainly not worth offering 19 and another second rounder. Spencer is steak knives I'm not sure he adds anything to the trade.

What was wrong with them?

In reality what you've done is suggested we add a bunch of often sub grade talent. Whilst we need to boost midfield depth we need to find room for the guys we have. Presuming Sylvia signs on we will have Jones, Viney, McKenzie, Trengove, Sylvia, Toumpas, Matt Jones, Evans, Kent, Byrnes who are all around the mark at AFL level. We don't need to add in something like 6 guys who aren't up to scratch.

What I'd suggest is we target a mature ready made type like Cross to take over from Rodan's job as a guy who may not play a lot of game time. We then add 1 or 2 decent trade ins like Taylor Adams. We then try 1 or 2 depending how we go in the trades as mature age guys either recycled from other clubs or from state leagues. We can't fill our list with Magner's and Couch's because as you'll notice if they aren't up to it then it doesn't help you.

I'm thinking.

Pick 2 - draft unless an absolute top liner is available

Priority pick - Trade

2nd round pick Potential trade

Other draft picks - Draft

Add free agent Cross

Add a mature player or free agent

Stokes has a new deal

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-08-21/stoked-to-sign-on

Joel Corey will retire at the end of the season, Enright will stay on as one of the all time greats and retire in the next couple.

???????

The other guys will be picked up by the Melbourne Bears, the MFC has better things to do.

I'd be thrilled with an outcome of

out

pick 2

pick 20

Mark Jamar

in

Daniel cross ( DFA )

Rory sloane ( trade for pick 2, would like some steak knives too but don't think they'd allow that )

Taylor Adams (offer long term deal and convince to walk to draft if not traded for pick 20 )

Anthony Miles ( trade for mark jamar)

Why would you want Jolly for experience when we have Jamar at much the same age and also 'All-Australian'? Great idea to have us start next year with 7 players on the interchange as well but i am confident the other 17 Clubs would oppose it!

I have six and if you knew anything about footy you would know on sundays you have six on the interchange and i never said get rid of Jamar but i was talking to Jack Fitzpatrick and even he said it would be good to get Jolly, Jamar doesn't have premiership experience ever.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
