I will no longer post on this thread due to potentiality of people at the end of it needing psychological help to cope with the trauma!

Thank heavens for that.

I've seen the "load up to the eyeballs in top 10 draft picks" before too, which is why I'm gun-shy on passing up a proven performer whose best years are still ahead of him, for draft picks.

All I'm saying 'Nasher' is it's not that simple. Get 'Danger', pay overs and all will be good.

I'm really looking forward to the complete package Roos and the crew have in mind. Interesting times ahead I reckon, I also reckon we don't know the half of it yet.

The only reality will be those coming down from an extended drug trip when the truth and folly are laid bare!

Enough !!!!

We are all Melbourne supporters. We all need psychological help.

I'm not in the 'all will be good' game if we simply get Danger, but if the planets aligned and we somehow got him to Melbourne then he would go along way to making us better.

Interesting times ahead indeed.

And truthfully, I hope we don't sell the farm as well, but I think the crucial point for me it's the team that holds the draft picks that takes the risk.

I really hope that if we must offer both our early picks, we get one of their early picks back somehow.

Whilst I don't think it will happen (although I have little butterflies every time I refresh this bloody page :P )

It's a nice distraction from work and the shite players we mostly have.

Manage Ignore Prefs - go there in your profile and the nonsense goes away.

Reply to the nonsense and posters who have the nonsense ignored see it...

Anyway, 97%-99%?

Would that be an average of 98%? IWUAEHIIUE

I don't think anyone's saying that if we get Dangerfield, it'll be all good, rjay. But there's no doubt he would improve our team and I wouldn't be surprised if his signing inadvertently encouraged others to join.

After the results of our Dom Tyson deal last year, I can't even understand how any MFC supporter wouldn't back Roos in to continue trading our top draft picks for established players. It's a complete no-brainer. We have seen high draft pick after draft pick fail miserably and end up on the scrap heap, because we had no seniority in our list to develop them.

We've got a 3 or 4 year drafting black hole inside our list now, and this year's delisting of Strauss, Blease and Tapscott round off that sensational period of failure. Bring in players from other clubs from the same years who actually eventuated into AFL-grade players and we might find ourselves in the position we belong.

Hawthorn and Sydney did not get to the top of the ladder with picks inside the top 5. They got there by poaching the talent from other clubs, and brilliantly developing their later picks by introducing them to an environment of talent and experience. Roos is trying to do the same thing here, but he needs a few more years to get the system on a roll.

22 Petraccas will not save the MFC.

I've evolved over the years in regards to forum rumours.

Early days: gullible, believe any rumour I heard, get excited, feel bitterly disappointed when they didn't go through

Middle days: refuse to believe anything, get annoyed every time someone posts hearsay

Recent days: Believe the rumours I like the sound of but understand they could be crap, keep emotions completely divorced until things start to pan out. Enjoy the ride, never feel disappointed, but feel ecstatic when things actually come to fruition.

Has Goodwin actually started with the MFC yet?

For instance, would he be one of the Demons' 'officials' Patty would be talking to - in an official capacity, that is?

Yes, can confirm Goodwin started with the Club on Monday.

The best teams have great midfields.

Deep, strong, multi-faceted midfields, invariably with a dynamic star or two.

They can make decent forward lines look good by controlling the ball, and they can allow average defenders to make a great backline by keeping the ball out of there.

I know Dangerfield is a dynamic star in Adelaide's midfield right now.

I don't know what Pick 2 and Pick 3 will be in 4 years time, when Jones is 30...

Come on, surely someone's pulling our leg....

well there are 3 or 4 posters telling us the news is promising and none of them have any history of BS on the forum

deliberate leaks are always a possibility though

My mail is

Pick 3 and toumpas for Dangerfield

Apparently the crows expressed an interest in Tom McDonald or Jack vineyard and got told where to go

We don't even have pick 3 to give FFS.

Posted (edited)

Yeah, this whole situation gets really ugly if Frawley doesn't GTFO on day one of free agency. If he drags his heels until the week after, it means we have NFI what compensation we get, which holds up any trades and gives other clubs a chance to swoop on our targets.

I'm sure the club has it covered

as has been mentioned about a million times, there is reason to believe the club knows already that we WILL have it

Yeah but we don't have it to give.

It's just a 'get ready to be kicked in the crotch' safety mechanism I'm testing.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield.
