The way I see it we will need to do a player trade for either Frost or Garlett, we won't have enough picks.

Or...

23 for Garlett and 28

28 for Lumumba

Clark and 60 for 35 and 54

54 for Frost

Still have 35 in the bag after all that.

    Honestly can't remember the last time we had so many players select the MFC as their choice of destination.

    The Blues had the best small forward combination a couple of years back one left last season the other will be gone this trade period. Add Waite into the picture and Carlton has lost it's Full forward Line from two years ago.

    And so far replaced them with Liam Jones. :D

    Garlett and Jay kay are going to tare up the MGC together.

    On trade radio, Essendon or Melbourne. The problems at EFC ruled them out. BOOM!

    Yeah, us being able to field a side next year puts us ahead. ;)

    Paul Roos.

    On trade radio - Pickering (his manager) said Roos has an appealing role for him, not just as a small forward but more up the ground in the midfield also

    Our man Roos is a genius. So good at selling.

    Garlett hits me as the ideal player for the rope-a-dope style of footy, where you flood your back line to soak up and stop the opposition then want to quickly counter attack while your forward line is open.

    Garlett also offers ability at ground level if we're not playing the counter too. He's a great fit if his mind is in the game and he brings discipline.

    Ryan O'Keefe type role?

    At his best he applies good forward pressure too!

    I love that Roos brings in players to carry out a specific role in his game plan, rather than the idiotic scattergun approach Norf Melbourne take by bringing in whoever's available only to lose one of their best midfielders as collateral.

    Line-breaking and bouncing are massive flaws in modern MFC footy.

    Harry, Garlett, Varcoe (heading west?) is the injection we are clearly after.

    Looks like Roos year 1 went for inside mids; year 2 for line-breaking outsiders.

    Roosy can get the best out of this kid.

    Carlton mates used to rave about Garlett

    If we can stitch up Jeff & Harry O this week for second round picks we have done well in stage 1

    Blease, Strauss and the kitchen sink.

    We offered that 3 for 1 offer to Carlton already but the baulked at the suggestion - their unrealistic offer was a straight swap Gartlett for the kitchen sink.

    Paul Roos.

    We are seriously lucky to have him at the club but he is the only selling point we have at the moment

    Just me or is the MFC a sneaky chance of getting in the 8 if everything goes to plan next year?

  • Quote

    He may have some issues but as a player geez he is talented and electric

    Just you, two players that their current clubs don't want anymore doesn't make us a top 8 team.

    No he doesn't.

    No, unless we get a decent tall goalkicker then I think we will seriously struggle to kick winning scores. I'm not letting the promise in the off season get me again !! I only see us winning 6 to 7 games but who knows really.

    Probably counting the chickens before they've hatched there

    Holy moses, it must be pre-season already.

    anyone would think he was up to something :rolleyes:

    What happened in 2014, why is he so out of favour at Carlscum?

    I saw very few of there games this year apart from our victory.

    Just you I think, mate, but I love the optimism.

    • 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?
