Does bringing in great players on great money ever really cause instability? I've heard supporters use that line often, but I can't recall any evidence of that happening in my lifetime.

I would have thought in the professional era, most players would look past the envy of the big income earners and would be quite happy to have a superstar added to their side to enhance their flag chances.

Brad Hardie to the Bears rings a bell. They wouldn't kick it near him. But they were a rabble and hardly a football team at that point, so maybe the example falls down.

 

Black was well beaten by Lucas Cook a few weeks ago

Watched the VFL last weekend with Black playing and he looked fairly dangerous off few posessions (kicked a few goals and lots of points i think), but when he gets to AFL he seems to be like our Bail/Matt Jones/Mckenzie this year. But go back a year or two ago and he was on fire..

Also Jack steele to debut for GWS.. Have never seen him play but i want him like a Tyson type deal.

As for Dangerfield...

I really dislike his condescending attitude to the fans. I understand it is a profession for him but calling it a hobby for fans is a real put down, for true fans/supporters it is much more than a hobby and some times to our detriment.

Happy that he won't be coming here.

 

Personally, I would like to recruit very good players.

Very good players are ok by me.

I think if you asked Jones and Hogan and Tyson - they would also like us to recruit very good players.

Agree'd, i get the sense he's lapping up the attention at the moment, everyone knows exactly what he's doing.


Currently my thoughts for end of season:

TRADE:

Howe

Grimes

Fitzpatrick

RETIRE/DELIST:

Jamar

McKenzie

Bail

Think the big turnover will come at the end of 2016. Given we're coming into a weak draft we may have the calm before the storm this year.

“Rohan Bail, Dean Terlich, Jake Spencer and Matt Jones have continued to play well for Casey Scorpions and are in the mix for the final side, which will be finalised after Friday’s - See more at: http://m.melbournefc.com.au/season/team-announcement#sthash.HRviSHFx.dpuf

Really? All of these are due to be delisted. In fact we should have delisted them already, Where is the pride in MFC? Get some elite top level players into the greatest football club in the world and get rid of these spuds!!!!!!

Should roos and Goodwin go and pick the elite top level talent off the elite top level talent growing tree that grows in the gardens at elite top level talent street, in elite top level talentville?

Welcome legend.

Like your enthusiasm in your first post. It will soon fade and you will be as bitter as the rest of us.

In response to your post, i couldn't give a rats [censored] ass if any of the players you named were gone by seasons end. So i recon you nailed it.

See you round the D'Land.

Forget about the draft. We will be trading, methinks.

What about this trade:

Mebourne: Pick 1 (likely 4 or 5), Pick 2 and Howe

GWS: Conglio, Tomlinson, Hampton

Would they go for it?

Pretty sure Matt Jones & Terlich are contracted.

Doubtful, but we can dream!

I didn't want to start another thread so here is a Martin Flanagan story on Aaron Davey Liam Jurrah & Ozzy Wonaeamirri playing in Vic last week.

Liam is only 26

Interesting that the censored word in my reply quote was not censored in your original post Song, but no doubt will in the next little while.....

Welcome to the nut house UD.

Considered for what may I ask? Delisting I presume.

What a great first post, I had the Ultimate Warrior's entrance song running through my head as I started reading it.


Give it up.

It's not going to happen.

rpfc, no barrow to push from me. I posted that because it was about 3 past MFC players.

PS. If Jurrah was on our rookie list now, would he play this week?

How did he get there?

It's your hypothetical - in what reality could we have picked him up in the RL? Certainly not this one.

One post and already you make sense! I think that the four players you suggest are better suggestions than the three de listings suggested in post # 506

How did he get there?

It's your hypothetical - in what reality could we have picked him up in the RL? Certainly not this one.

You could choose to engage and answer the question or not.

So if by some miracle he was on the list as a rookie let's say the pixies did it, would he play this week? I say probably. I am not advocating that we do rookie him.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
