I posted this in another thread being thoughts passed on from an astute Cats supporter mate:

....... Won Liston Medal so can play.......

Can't be that astute if he rates the Liston!

And from the descriptions of the players if accurate they're hardly the types MFC are looking for.

And I would not use Evans as a benchmark either for acceptance.

    I'd take either of Burbury or Schroder, but I don't really wanna load up on Geelong rejects...

    You're probably right but God it's a sad indictment of our club that if those 5 were on our list this year, three probably wouldve got 2 year extensions and a 4th wouldve played 10 games comfortably. It does show what a poor list Paul inherited. I wouldn't mind either one of the two you suggested, I think Schroder has a lot of potential but CScott was never a fan.

    We got a pick in the 50s for Grgic (Brad Miller if I recall). The deal for Bizzell was complicated and separate.

    And the pick we gave up, which was 17, ended up being James Kelly.

    Edit - Pick was 17 not 19.

    You recall it how you will after googling.

    We got Bizz for Grgic and The bull for not much.

    Fools!

    So you'd probably just speculate then, if you had the choice, or not.

    No, we didn't.

    We traded picks 17 and 41 for Bizzell, and we got pick 55 for Grgic.

    No, we didn't.

    We traded picks 17 and 41 for Bizzell, and we got pick 55 for Grgic.

    so the end result was the same.

  • Quote

    Not really, but whatever floats your boat.

    doesn't take much.

    but Biz beat the Grigmeister.

  • Quote

    You could say it's the same - and it might pass. Melbourne are probably the only club that would trade picks 17 and 41 for pick 55.

    Tom gillies was a geelong delistee. Tread with caution.

  • Quote

    We don't need fringe players who may be slightly better than our existing fringe players!

  • Quote

    Only one would be Burbury for me.

  • Quote

    None of them.

    We've become a dumping ground for several NQRs.....heavens above, we've still got enough of our own.

    Move on, next!

    Clearly I know something you don't, Pagliacci.

    Time will tell.

    It's all about opportunity cost.

    If we have a spot on our list and the choice is between Schroeder & Clisby, I'd give Schroeder a chance.

    But I don't know who else will be there to choose from.

    And I'd rather not load up on Geelong rejects...

    ...

    That's rather a redundant option given Clisby is already gone.

    No sh*t Sherlock.

    It was an example.

    I don't know what spuds will be left lying around after delistings, trade week & FA movement.

    Do you?

    Schroder must have really fallen away. I can recall early this season some cats fans saying he was going to be a player for them after a stellar 2013 in the VFL. Schroder only had 4 years in the system, and at Geelong odds are you are not going to walk into that side. Might still have something to offer at AFL level, but I haven't seen enough of him to say that he is a must draft player for us.

    I would be looking to cherry pick the players who are in and out of Hawthorn and Sydney's best 22.

    They get Frawley, Rivers, Clark. We get Gillies, Boo-urns and more dud de-listees.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
