Or he wouldn't have just posted at all if that's how he felt.

He is obviously pretty excited about the changes so don't see what the hassle is.

If you can't use your brain and see that a captain will tweet that even if we brought in three one-legged men from the local park, I can't help you.

 

FFS .....This is the 21century There are such things as mobile phones,Skype, Face to Face ect ect ect

Roos can be in contact at all times during the trade period......Would you prefer him to be on holidays when pre season training starts????

Just get over yourself.

No, but I bet he's not taking calls at 4am in his hotel room, when they need a 5 second decision. Why not take a week between now and the draft, when really nothing is happening.

So much for the biggest week for the MFC since the 2000 GF. Frost, Garlett and Harry O. HUGE!

 

Oh Christ, come on. We've been reading posts like that for 7 YEARS!

we have also got Paul Roos and I'm just saying what I think is that ok. Lol

Only if you need an ego boost...

Is that a dirty word/


who is our best forward ?

The bloke who played 15 games in 3 years ?

who is our best defender ?

The bloke who played forward the majority of the year ?

Yes and yes.

I like most here am disappointed that the "big fish" wasn't hooked.

However, none of us know what transpired behind closed doors, and especially with the "Tyson" deal last year, clubs 'may' have thought twice about giving up fringe players to Roos. Thinking what are we not seeing that Roos & co see...

GNF can Go N' F..k himself as far as I am concerned

 

Haha, and you slated me for telling you to do exactly that.

Its guys like you who drive away people who get the occasional inside word from forums.

Surely you can grasp that things change and deals which looked on can fall through.

I have no doubt that the Trengove injury screwed us from getting JK. IMO 3 and 12 would have sufficed and once that fell through we werent willing to offer both 2 and 3. If Sydney didnt have Heeney to commit their first pick then it might have also changed the outcome.

The murmurings that Sydney's cap is maxed out seems legit, they couldnt upgrade Biggs to their main list and were forced into trading him last minute. It definetely ties in with why JK seeked like a genuine target.

One of their stars will no doubt be availablr next year for the right offer. Buddy only got 400k this season and his salary is set to skyrocket in 2015 and the year after

Adam Goodes playing on with his huge salary wouldn't be helping their cause. We'll just have to try shaking a few more players loose next year.


If we pull a good player in the PSD, I hope everyone will remember today.

Question for those with more knowledge, can a player nominate the PSD if he isn't in the ND?

I think we did that with Jurrah a few years ago.

I hope we screw Pelchen & the Saints over this low effort, so they threatened to use P-21 on Frost, to force us the pay P-23 to GWS. Whilst they want to take Membrey for a PSD pick... they stil could have trumped us with that P-21, but they didn't bother... just wanted to screw us over.... cost us a 2nd Rnd National Draft pick, instead of a PSD pick.

Rrrsses

they need some punishment for their low act. Did they do it in request of Steve Silvani or Sheedy, or was it just they're noble selves?

GNF can Go N' F..k himself as far as I am concerned

You do realise it isn't his fault we didn't secure a gun midfielder?

Lowden is rubbish? He kicked 3 goals on debut.

I hope we tried to make a play for him.

Daniel Metropolis kicked 6 on debut and he was a good ordinary WAFL player

Shane Ellen kicked 5 in the pressure cooker of a Grand Final

Hawthorn do not have a great ruck division and have not had for 5 years he played 1 game in that time for a reason, and do yourself a favour and watch the game you're talking about against Meth Coast in Tassie not many would have missed those gifts

IF the Demons list management are Not really angry & [censored] off with the Saints for doing what they did to us today,,,, then I am really worried they aren't up to the job.

we have to be angry at this, & we have to go harder at these pr icks.

I am really [censored] off with how we missed the A grader, & could have used Howe if done earlier...

Oh come on! What else is there to pass the day?

Something productive that does not provide regular let downs ?

I do however get your drift.

No, I 'slated' you for your hypocrisy

If you think GNF had any inside word you are puling yourself

Remember he claimed we were getting two guy in who would be the two best players in the team plus we were going to keep a downgraded version of pick 2 and you somehow think that because we couldn't move pick 23 to 12 this all fell over - how stupid are you???

If what he was saying was true, something would have still happened without pick 12

If I drive away people who are full of ..it then I have no problem with that whatsoever

I hope they're level headed, mate. The last thing we want is our blokes stuffing things up just to settle a score. Two words: Kevin Sheedy.

Pick 3 for Sheil and Frost anyone??

not suggesting they get their eyes crossed & bugger things up, but we need to keep an eye on those overinflated aints for a while... maybe jack steven wants out some day.

we should be angry about it, its us against the rest. time to stop being the One getting screwed.

Just out of interest. Does anyone know how many years Shiel has left on his contract?


1 more year. GWS have about 5 or 6 of their best players all OOC next year, including Shiel, Cameron and Treloar. It'll be open season if they have another poor season (here's hoping they can't score goals without their precious forward line intact).

GCS lost their coach after 4 years because they missed finals. The fallout will be worse for GWS.

we must have close 2 million spare in the cap next season

We are all disappointed we didnt land a big fish this trade period but the reality is none were really available

We must win close to 10 games and show we are truly on the way up in 2015 and we will land a big fish or 2

I've a feeling next year will be a doozy.. very competative right thru the H&A season for all teams, until mathematically impossible to make the 8, then it will reverse back downhill for all outsiders.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.

    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.
