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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :-(((((((((()((

    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.

    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

    I would be devastated to lose either Gawn or Jones. More than Hogan probably

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
