AW reporting Melbourne prepared to put, Watts, Toumpas, Grimes and Trengove on table. They want 5 picks inside Top 20.

Not sure how they would know this.

I used to have some sort of feeling toward the players but right now, I don't really care who we put on the table, as long as it makes us a better side.

 

I thought Roos was about building culture? Jackson has discussed about importance of the feel in the locker room? Losing faith by the second.

nope. These guys are not good enough. Never will be.

Not sure offering thosebplayers up will get you picks inside 20!

This is the same media that said Ling was a done deal to be an assistant at the MFC as recently as last week.

I will believe it when it happens.

Would they trade Toumpas after he says he will be here for the long haul today.

You would struggle to get a top 20 pick for three of them as a bundle

 

Sounds like an ill conceived fire sale. You'd be selling trengove & toumpas when they're at their lowest ebb in terms of market value. The only player with a chance of attracting a first round pick would be Watts - and would only be based on potential.

Surely you'd trade for players and not picks.

Ridiculous. Winning far outweighs the feel in the locker room - that can be constructed with any kind of playing list.

First you need good players and this proves that we aren't even at level 1 yet.

Well realistically...and assuming for Chip we get a band one compo...we already have 2,3 and 21 (assuming no other sides get band one or two compo for their FAs).

Five inside 21 or five inside 20 plus 21? hmm


3aw pulling names out of a hat lol

The same 3aw that reported Ling was set to announce as assistant coach..

please!


I call [censored]

He is by creating a winning culture.

But he needs to take out the trash first.

One day the MFC may even rise up to have the second worst team in the AFL.

I'm surprised that anyone could be so gullible to take any notice of this dribble, but I shouldn't be after what I read from so called Melbourne supporters in other threads.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
