Why write an article about Melbourne? Why on their "bye" week? Why write about a player playing in the Sunday twilight spot?

Plenty of other things that could've been written about, hence why I had some interest in what was said, or perhaps what wasn't said. May very well be nothing.

All good questions.

But I don't think it points to Frawley leaving.

I think it maybe points to us having extra cap space and soon-to-be OOC players seriously exploring their options.

Whether that be Fyfe, Dangerfield, or otherwise.

But in keeping Frawley, we will still have a lot of room within the cap.

What i'd be telling Frawley, if he really is interested in playing in a successful team, is that the less he is willing to make in terms of $, the more $ we have in trying to recruit another good player and ultimately, being a more successful team.

I wouldn't bother, under the assumption that even if he's stupid, his manager isn't, and knows that we've just taken Clark off the books when we already weren't paying the full cap, so Frawley signing for below market value won't affect our ability to sign other big names.

True, but this is a footy mad city and they need to fill papers. Plus, aren't these articles also in other Sun papers in other cities sometimes.

The idea of paying him 10 mill is [censored], however, i love the way he can break out of (through) the centre and run into the goals. He is a fantastic footballer who, most likely, will stay where he is.

on the verge of signing..

an illusional solution

Tom Scully was an absolute steal at $1M plus per year. And for over a half a decade too.

Perhaps we could offer GwS a third round pick for Scully and Phatty

No, no, you're new around here, don't go voicing your opinion when the majority of the posters on this forum disagree, you'll get punished, I know, i too was once the new kid on the block.

I found initially that you would get a hatorade shower when you put a post up that some angry punter would disagree with. I found offense was the best form of defense. For more insight, see BarnDee and his rather crass responses to those who have gotten on his goat (just don't replicate his English language ability).

Is it possible that wallace wanted a hall type?

before all the coaching stuff hit the fan up there. & Roos took the job?

No because he had decided to leave the year before if you remember how emotional they all were in Stuey Loewes last game against us when he handed the number 23 to Kosi.

It was Rodney Eades Sydney at the time and he wanted Hall

I would give either Danger or Fyfe anything required to get them to the club (this is why I'm not in charge). They will be in the top two players in the comp over the next decade.

It's not that stupid.

Not too many are having a go at Sydney with the Buddy deal right now and Fyfe and Dangerfield are on the up and likely to deliver more than him.

President Bartlett talked about being ruthless. That means not being safe. Freo went hard for Ross Lyon and that went well. We went hard for Ross and that went well. No reason not to go after a star player.

The Dangerfield, Jones, Tyson, Viney midfield combination over the next 5 years would be scary. That's a fab 4

Imagine landing both, it's not going to happen but a midfield of

Fyfe, Jones, Viney, Dangerfield, Cross, Vince, Trengove, Tyson, Toumpas, Salem, M.Jones

I dunno. I'm not a Fyfe fan. He's good, but I wouldn't have him in the same bracket as Dangerfield. He's younger though, I guess. Just a bit overrated, IMO.

I feel just the same way about Dangerfield. Flashy, but ultimately considerably less valuable than his highlights suggest. I'd pick Fyfe before Dangerfield, though Danger's a better leader so we'd likely need his type more than a younger player like Fyfe.

Herald sun reporting Jeremy Cameron is weighing up his future, now that's the player you throw a buddy deal together for

I am fully in agreement with you on this as he could be the missing link in our resurgence. I guess that Cameron did not appreciate their decision last weekend to play him as a key defender and with Boyd and Patton still on their list then they (GWS) can afford to do a deal. Would certainly help resurrect Roos' plans to develop a forward line around Dawes, Hogan and Clark. It would be a massive coup if we could pull it off in luring him to us [without having to sacrifice one of our own stars in a trade].

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
