I believe the rumours that give us the best players for the least cost. The other ones are garbage.

Two years of very good trading, hiring and drafting

Viney at pick 26 (steal)

Toumpass (went one place later than expected)

Hogan (mini draft)

Dawes (solid player)

M Jones (impressive first season)

Terlich(impressive first season)

Tyson (a good get whilst keeping a first round pick)

Minchie (highly rated by many clubs)

Vince (better than Sylvia)

Pick 9 (assurance for the future)

Peter Jackson (thank you AFL)

Paul Roos (thank you PJ)

Stone (credentialed and proven assistant Improving most of the above)

That's a turn around on 10 players in the right hands

Only one we might regret is overlooking Wines. Love the Toump and reckon he's all class but Wines was incredible this season.

The rest is spot on!

Toumpass will be fine and a better footballer than Wines. We now have some genuine inside midfielders to compliment him and he will have a full pre season. His hips should be fine too. Wines had a very good midfield backing him. dimitri didn't

Our midfield is now starting to look much more talent laden and a lot less raw:

Jones, Cross, Vince, Viney, Toumpas, Tyson, Trengove, Pick 9 etc...

That is a hell of a lot better than this year.

Where did you pull Cross from? Far from signed, sealed and delivered to the club.

Agree with your sentiments though.

That's starting go look pretty damn good.

There must be a few starting to quiver in their boots.

Blease, Watts, McKenzie, Matt Jones, Evans, Barry, Nicholson, Tapsott, Bail

OMG - I though we may be able to get through one thread without the Wines (one of many mids in a more mature successful team) vs Toumpass (opposite of all those club traits) debate - but, oh no, we couldn't.

Or getting through it without someone spelling his name incorrectly. Toumpas. Is it so hard?

Pedantic at its worst. How can a poster be upset today after some good progress from the club. What's the saying? Small things, and small minds!

I'm as pumped as anyone about today. Small minds are those that can't spell the names of their own players correctly. It isn't hard but this isn't the time or the thread for it, so because you seem upset, I'll move on.

you betcha. Vince actually won a b&f in a better team than sylvia's 5th place in a poor team

I don't think Vince has the explosive power of Sylvia - Unfortunately Col only produced this about twice a season. Further, I suspect Vince has more brainpower.

All up. Not a bad swap.

Wow. Nothing was reported on the news and it wasnt until I checked twitter I saw it. Sorry Colin who? Bernie is a great replacement for him and I reckon he will give us more in in his first season with us than Col ever did.

And Mark Robinson has the hide to write an article in todays sun saying we have lost momentum since we got roos. Well getting dom tyson and berie vince is a pretty good day. Good work Todd and co

On a only-very-loosely-related note, I wonder where the OP (D26) has gone? He's spent the last 6 months being close to the site's most prolific poster, but has had no account activity at all since October 3. That includes logins, 'lurking' etc. Bizarre.

So what picks do the MFC now hold given Vic, Bernie and Tyson are recruited?

9, 40, 56 ish.

Potentially we will look to do deals in this last week moving those later 2 picks forward or getting another one in the top 50ish by trading out players who haven't been getting a kick but might hold a little interest from other clubs (ie, Blease, Strauss, Tapscott).

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
