5 inside 20

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

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.

Nice first post Gut!

Its a good idea, should also Tommy mac, Kent, Garland, Dawes and Howe to that list. Need a huge turn over.

Welcome to Demonland, you'll fit right in

[Deetective Sgt. Taggert 389]

We need guys like Trengove to be leading our recovery, not to trade them off in a fire sale. We should't be too quick to forget his decision to sign on shortly after the 186 debacle in an immense show of faith. Something that is obviously lacking at present. Grimes probably needs to be demoted to VC to let him focus on his own game, but he also need to be kept for the same reasons. As if Roos would trade a Grimes type player after criticising the decision to delist Brad Miller...the rot began when Melbourne starting offloading its respected senior players before their time, surely the same mistake can't be made again?

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

Is this a serious post? What sort of culture exists WITH these players?

This is utter, complete bollocks. When there is no leadership and few mature players at the club, what possible benefit could be gained by bringing in five or six new players and trading out the captain and immediate past captain, amogst others.

Complete [censored] stirring and will put us back another 5-10 years.

I agree that It's probably not true, but I don't think it's such a bad idea

a trade might be the best thing for Watts and MFC

Grimes can't kick, can't have your leaders making basic skill errors consistently

Trengove and Toumpas would want to show something in 2015 or I doubt either will be at the club after that

[Vitamin Dee 903]

I think this is straight out of WC.

Trying to add to the instability and hold a strong % as they play for 8th spot.

I think they may just do it.

[olisik 4,060]

We need to turnover 20 players. We ll delist about 10, if we can trade off another 10 or so it ll help towards getting rid of this culture.

I'm glad you have nothing to do with our list management.

[chook fowler 19,675]

The sad thing is there is no player at the club that we would be devastated to lose ( possible exception of Hogan who hasn't played yet.)

Our best are mediocre and there is no one to make you excited to go to the footy and see. Even Howe doesn't take hangers any more.

We desperately need flare and dash not only for the fans but it lifts the team as well.

[monoccular 17,607]

Looking at the thread title, I was thinking did we actually get 3 inside 20 m last week.

Then I realized that with a score of 3 goals 16 behinds we must have had at least 19 inside 20s :-(((((((((()((

[olisik 4,060]

I'm glad you have nothing to do with our list management.

We are basically bottom of the table for 8th yr straight with players who cant kick, chase, even talk with the worst culture in the league. We need to turn over as much as possible and start from basically scratch.

We need to leave no stone unturned or be reserved and over protective of our players. If we can get like for like swaps we should take em as the player coming in wont be mentally scarred.

It is an absolutely terrible idea.

Grimes is our captain. How do you think trading him would go down in the playing group?

Trengove and Toumpas have absolutely zero trade value and all the upside in the world. And both have made very public commitments to the club (Toumpas this week and Trengove after 186). How do you think trading them would go down?

It is just pure idiocy and clearly, clearly has no basis in fact.

I was too angry and dismayed to LOL.

[olisik 4,060]

Who cares about the playing group if half of them are gonna be turned over. They should have played better if they didnt want this to happen. They can man up and get on with it

Fair call.
