Ok im starting this to take the attention of the Buddy Saga. But been little reports that we have made contact with Tom Rockliff and Jade Rawlings has boarded a plane for Brisbane with a Melbourne logo folder in hand.

Was an article in the Brisbane time about rumors that Tom was not happy with the direction of where Brisbane was heading so I hope we seriously chase him hard. Is up from my way in country Victoria and would make a massive difference to our midfield with now pick 2 on the table. We all know how good he is so im not going to go through the Pros and Cons.

Thoughts?

Is he uncontracted?

Landing Rockcliff would be absolutely sensational.

Rawlings assisted us to land Clark when he was all but over the line with Freo.

Hopefully he can pull another rabbit out of the hat. With pick 2 up for grabs, head room under the cap, and Paul Roos now on board, you'd have to think there's some chance.

Be nice to get there first pick back

Pick 6 is it?

Cant see it happening Olisik but I like the sound of it. Would be an excellent trade

Possibly Rockliff and one of their boys who has already stated an intention to head home to Victoria would be something they would put out as an offer!

Won't happen but it's alright because he is definitely worth pick 2.

Maybe we could wrangle Karnezis along with him?

Maybe they'll throw in Jonathon Brown too!

Maybe we can trade some of our fringe players or a player in association with pick 2 to land Rockliff and Docherty?

2 + Couch for Rockliff + 6 + Brown + Docherty?

Go Jade! Great investigating if this is true. Rocky's name hasn't even been mentioned in the trade wind.

I would be happy to trade pick 2 for Rocky as well. Dominates the Brisbane engine room and gets touches regardless of where Brisbane are in the competition.

Contracted to the end of 2014 so what would we give up for him?

Lots of people talking about pick 2 coming into play. I'm not sure we'd go there, although the ones with us getting pick 6 back could almost work.

I think we need mids so badly i'd happily part with pick 2 for rockliff even if it could potentially be overs

If we can get back pick 6 we cculd take Crouch to.

Crouch Jones and Rockliff for pick 2 and a Spencer/Gawn/fitz would be a win

Yeah work for us, not them.

Pick 2 would be the only thing Brisbane would possibly consider to give him up. He's there best midfielder finishing with almost 100 touches more then Redden this year. Ball Magnet.

Let's just wait and see if he will even consider us. Everyone here rambled on about Taylor Adams for months and the kid laughed at the prospect of going to Melbourne. We are last on most players list.

lol @ anyone thinking we can trade pick 2 for Rockliff and pick 6

you gotta be kidding me

Pick 2 for Rockliff is a fair trade, why the hell would the Lions throw away pick 6

Yep, and Voss played him in the forward pocket quite a few times (much to the angst of dream team players everywhere), which negatively impacted on his possessions.

He's a gun. I doubt they'd do it for pick 2 but I'd take it in a heartbeat.

This is an interesting one because it is more than rumour, twitter feed from some twit, or an anonymous "my brother's sister's boyfriend's doctor's aunt" Facebook post. Rawlings is seen up there on MFC official business.

Unless he is desperate to move from Brisbane, Rockliff is mad to leave. Considering he is contracted I cannot see the Lions letting go of their midfield gun who has 3 year's work in him for anything less than picks 1 - 4.

Two things in our favour.

He knows Jade Rawlings

He would respect Paul Roos (and if the dislocation between Voss and players is real, this is a big plus for us)

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
