Go back to harping upon this chestnut on the Mitch thread.

All those players named would be dying to come to the Dees, if nothing else, just to add a few flags to their CV. I think our first task is to get rid of sub standard players, adopt the Roos recruiti

Jones is coming! Watts is a potential superstar. His evasiveness on Saturday took me back to Robbie Flower. Watts seems to do it without exerting effort. All he needs is more confidence to go all the way and start dobbing a few and he'll get SILK! Hogan will be! Wait and see. It's about patience boys!!

What about the Ox, Gary Lyon, Stephen Tingay and Travis Johnstone? Whitey was up there too until they changed the centre bounce rule.

I would say no but this argument has been done a few times before.

To me Flower was the last champion or superstar we have had, I'm talking competition and there are very few of these guys. Right now in the AFL probably Judd and Ablett, Brown maybe are it with a few others on the way.

grouping the highest quality players right now a superstars, i wouldn't even say judd any more dude or brown. for me, Ablett, J selwood and jobe watson off the top of my head.

I don't quite put the rest on the same pedestal personally. theres lots more great players from plenty of clubs though. like fyfe is right on the cusp for me, barlow, pendles, swan, mitchel, theres a massive group of them.

Getting Dangerfield would be massive, but we would need to pay way overs to have any chance

a mil a year plus and we'd have to offer them alot to make the trade happen

T Mac, and our first round pick is enough.

If Judd and another pick went for Josh Kennedy, a first round pick and another pick, I don't see why Danger can't go for a good key back and our first round pick

Superstars to me have shown it over a long period of time. Ablett was and still is, Judd has been and the others you have named are well on the way if not already there.

Unfortunately we haven't had one in a long, long time.

Adelaide might well get Chip as a free agent and not want Tommy, then Danger might sniff a flag at the crows and not want to leave.

If Frawley ends up leaving it will be to somewhere like Geelong or Hawthorn, not Adelaide.

Danger is not going anywhere next year, he's still contracted. The year after he is looking for premiership success not cash, that will come anyway.

Don't be so sure, Adelaide and the Suns have both made offers to his management as far as i know, Hawthorn are also right in the mix but i reckon their senior players getting abit older i'd be more likely to sign with the suns if it was me.

yeh, i think this year, watts and tyson have the potential to get up into that bracket of 'well on their way'.

Same with me, but Frawley seems to me like he wants to stay at MFC but if he goes it'll be like former past players like Sylvia and McLean, instant success.

If he was a little more accurate we'd all be celebrating a win, he was very unlucky on the weekend not to have 30 touches and 3-4 goals and wouldn't the crows love seeing him do that for another side.

    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
