I am more used to hearing players quoted with things like 'Premierships are nice, but an extra $500K over the course of my career is nicer' oh wait nobody has EVER told the truth like that

the media is a charade and a joke, lies for simpletons

That's true. You won't often get the direct truth through the media but often, players are so bad at the media side of things it can be easy to read the truth between the lines. Seemingly not in this situation unfortunately.

I have it on good authority that Sydney have been successful in their application for a priority pick.

To ensure an even competition the swans are not allowed to finish below 8th & all free agents can fit into their salary cap!

FFS, I can't handle this any bloody more.

you said that last week, gorgo

So, I reckon finals will be in 2 years...and premiership window will open in 3-4 years. So that would take him to 27-28, not 52.

I don't know what you're on, but it should definitely be on some kind of banned list..

I wouldn't be able to laugh at your posts if I put you on ignore Mon.

That's a bit of a strange one. In most interviews I hear with AFL players they talk about how much they'd hate to play in Grand Final and how happy they are when their season finishes in August. He's a different cat that Paddy.

I haven't heard any of those interviews ....16. I'd be interested to know who some of those players were.

I've got other things to do ....16. So I'll make it easy for you, just give me one or two names from your no doubt extensive list.

I went to a post grand final function late last night and I ran into a friend who's gone into player management. I don't know if he specifically works with Dangers management group, but he gave me 100% guarantee he wasn't coming to us. We made contact, he spoke to us but we weren't the right fit for him. Take it as you will. I hope for Melbournes sake GNF is on the money, but I've had a few good bits from this bloke in the past.

Most of our draftees at draft camp!

Bought a new TV the other day. They couldn't even give me a 100% guarantee!

Hey man, can you please refer me to GNF's post?

By the way, had a nice sleep for those that were wondering?

Dangerfield has the chance to make a statement and show there are still some players left with the balls to go to a lower ranked club and help them out of the cellar

Or will he just be like 99% of AFL players who would rather a free ride and don't have the guts to take on a real challenge?

Since when are "AFL players" the same as " draftees at draft camp!"? Are these posts an an attempt at humour?

Nice thought. But reality says players mainly want 2 things, big money and premiership medallions. If he comes to us it will be because we offer him sooooooooooooo much money he's prepared to accept he may never get a medallion.

I think you've misunderstood my original post. Was quite light hearted. Clearly every player is going to be envious of teams in finals and want to win flags. Clearly no player has actually said they'd hate to play in a grand final.

Anyway, back on topic.

No I didn't misunderstand your cheap shot at my post at all. I posted on the basis of an interview I actually heard on the radio. Your unfunny and invented reductio ad adsurdum piece of sarcasm drew a question from me that you are unable to answer. In future, if you cant put up then shut up.

it will all come down to Roos

If he can convey the same belief to Danger that PJ obviously conveyed to him then who knows

You've learned your lesson, Melb16...

No idea what the lesson is but you've learned it.

Cheap Shot? Really? His first post was funny. You're probably right and the modern history of the trade period supports your view that superstars of the competition don't come to clubs like the 2014 Demons but 16 made the simple, light hearted point that all players when on the move highlight non-monetary reasons for their deceit. If Melbourne fans have learnt anything from Messrs Scully, Judd, Clark, Frawley etc . . . it is not to read too much into basically anything that they put onto the public record.

ya bigger than that....c'mon ( even if more svelte)

Unfortunately, I was interstate at a wedding and unable to attend the GF. The GF has in previous years proven the most fertile field for finding out who we are targeting and what is likely to occur. As such i have no further news on Danger. I will see how I go this week, but alcohol indeed loosens lips. It is disappointing not to be able to take advantage of such an opportunity.

For those who are confused, unlike Roos last year, I have never said we will get Danger, I have only said we are going hard at him. We can offer him the most coin and offer AFC the best deal....... but we need to convince a Danger. Obviously this is a tough sell, Roos will need to weave some magic.

I am however aware of other A graders we are targeting, some have been mentioned, others if successful will be a suprise to the media and demonland but are very exciting prospects....... much the same as Tyson last year. Danger however is the only superstar on the market this year.

I am sure you all understand why it is not in MFCs interest for me to let on who these players are. Particularly since it has become clear that there are those in the media who follow these threads.

In my defence, I found it hilarious. But who doesn't love their own material.

I'm sorry I've upset you. Point is, we all shouldn't get too sucked in by what players say publicly and try to over analyse it.

Who says if he comes to us that we aren't up there in 4 odd years time? A bloke named Paul Roos is a good operator. Who thought Angus Monfries would be playing in a prelim this year.

You've learned your lesson, Melb16...

No idea what the lesson is but you've learned it.

Haha I have! I think I need to remember sarcasm is not easily detected in written form. That has to be it...
