Uncle Fester 2,848 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 On 17/06/2015 at 01:17, Nasher said: 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. Quote

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. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-06-16/depleted-giants-pick-two-for-debut-against-roos 1 Quote
rjay 25,435 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 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. 2 Quote
rpfc 29,048 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 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. 9 Quote

MadAsHell 4,217 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 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. Quote
Coq au vin 755 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 “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!!!!!! Quote

Demon Disciple 12,545 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 McKenzie, M Jones, Bail and Terlich would head the list for me at the moment. Quote

DistrACTION Jackson 10,771 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 What about this trade: Mebourne: Pick 1 (likely 4 or 5), Pick 2 and Howe GWS: Conglio, Tomlinson, Hampton Would they go for it? Quote

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. Quote
