HL, Swan, Jolly, Dids, Shaws, Beams, Dawes, Thomas etc etc. (a lot of talent there)

These blokes could perform for mad mick without complaint but not bucks.....

Who knows, we land HL & Beams to go with Dawes & we might have Steele & Pendles knocking on our door by 2016! ;-p

Could make QB pretty intesting!

    He can seriously play.

    But here is a list of people that I would take before him in an off-field context.

    Nathan Carroll

    Mitch Robinson

    Ben Cousins

    Toby Greene

    Dan Conners

    Heath Shaw

    Dustin Martin

    Lance Franklin

    Jake King

    Mick Gatto

    Don't want him anywhere near our club.

    I reckon Gatto would have made a great full back in his younger days. I can see him shaking hands with the FF and CHF before the game and saying: youze guys have a family? It must be nice to have a family. And a house. Youze wouldn't want anything to happen to them, would you?'

    Then he'd spend the game talking to his bookie over the fence as the CHF and FF duitifully handed him the ball every time it was kicked into the forward line.

    Did I hear a tweety bird say he wants to come back to Victoria?

    Is Brisbane's captain though and would be 29 at the start of next season.

    A star when on and unlucky with injuries.

    He’s not Brisbane’s captain anymore

    OK, he is on the Brisbane website.

    Premiership player, All Australian, Pies B&F winner, Lions B&F winner and Captain. One opposition player I really like watching.

    Not that I think he is heading our way but even at 29yo Beams would be our 2nd best mid behind Oliver. 

  • Quote

    I heard an interview where he said that he would now consider returning to Melbourne, because his reason for going to Brisbane in the first place was to be close to his ailing father. I imagine if he does return, his preference would be for C'wood.

    He's a star when on. I think we need to upgrade/consolidate our older players consistently. Beams>Vince for eg. I would say if he does come back he'll go to Collingwood but a name of interest.

    Yeah, and his partner/wife? has family here that they are close too and they have recently had a new baby so might need more support. I'd say he might not be what Collingwood actually need, same as us really.

    ...not so sure. When he left there were rumours of a rift with Bucks so who knows.

    Would be a great addition to our list.

    Should Gaff fall through this bloke would be a great addition age may be a turn off but this guys plays with hardness and class. Thoughts?

    Quite a different player and how often does he get on the park these days? Good player, but I'd look elsewhere.

    He be a great pick up but Brissy should be asking for a first rounder, which we don't have. Not a top 5 pick but a pick between 13-17 or so.

    He's actually played most games over the last couple of years, not sure why he's seen as that injury prone anymore?

  • Quote

    Still a damaging player when he gets on the park. I do wonder if he comes back to Vic whether he would be willing to forgo dollars to join the MFC. I think he has one 3-4 year contract left in him, so I imagine not.

    Pretty sure he loves it up at Brisbane. Slightly more than a snowflake's chance of leaving.

    Lot of snowflakes in Brisbane then. Dons and Pies favoured, though Roos and Saints will obviously join in and offer him the suburbs of North Melbourne and Moorabbin.

    He went home for family reason, someone sick on memory, it that no longer the case?

    I imagine he'll see out his career at Brissie, he'll be paid well and they are improving.

    Too old and will cost too much.

    His father passed away earlier in the year and now rumours have sprung up that he wants to come back to Victoria

    • 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?
