If griffin goes to gws look out for shiel or treloar coming our way!!!!

Rubbish

 

We must have at least $1.7m in the salary cap with Frawley and Clark both gone. We were already only paying the minimum cap.

Pretty sure the bold drafting from the Lions has been a result of throwing around some big ticket contracts and seeing what bites. About time we do the same. Put a few $550k 4 year contracts under their noses and we'll see how much they want to stay in western Sydney.

I'd be putting 650k five year deal under Treloar's nose...

That's right...the tables are turning since they did it to us with Scull dog.

Yep, and not far off $600k for Shiel.

a few more posts to go til the magical 100 page mark and Danger is guaranteed to be a Demon

 

If Adelaide were even to entertain a trade, the way the EBA structured with the AFLPA and the AFL the player has to agree to the trade also. And why would Dangerfield agree to come to Melbourne over Geelong or Hawthorn? He had the option to go Geelong 3 or 4 years ago on a huge contract when he first came out of contract and knocked them back to resign with Adelaide. And he's a Geelong Falcons product. Could have been a premiership player already if he wanted to come back to Vic.

Won't be going anywhere.

Well Adelaide weren't exactly the worst side 3 or 4 years ago

Hmmmm Gary Ablett hasn't re-signed with the Suns yet,,,,,,

Is there any more juicy and inaccurate Facebook rumours out there?

You gotta wonder if this sudden change of heart about taking picks 2 and 3 to the draft is because the Saints told us they're taking McCartin?

Make that ten....

When is this [censored] going to put on his red socks and blue jocks.

Maybe we are warming to McCartin? I like Dawesy, don't get me wrong, but perhaps they've realised that he's just not that good?

Sounds like an immature passing comment, but really, Hogan and McCartin would set up our attack for the next decade with two guys that have the potential to be 50+ goal per year forwards.

Dawes will never be that type of player. Would be a good enforcer whilst the young blokes learn the craft though.

Wonder if Taylor prefers Wright or McCartin...

Agreed, or we have got wind that the GWS & Saints trade won't happen now and we already knew the Saints would take McCartin if the kept the #1 pick

McCartin seems the safer bet, but Wright has the potential to fit our structure better as he can play ruck, too. Think Kurt Tippett.

McCartin is the more typical power forward in the Hogan/Dawes mould.

Personally wouldn't mind either, Wright is a better kick and is quick for a big bloke, but there's question marks over his competitiveness/hardness.

Well Mahoney did come out and say it after the Griffen story broke, so the club must have reconsidered their options.

GWS won't be able to get pick 1 if they give pick 4 to the Bulldogs for Griffen.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
