Delistings/trades at end of the season

Northern Summer

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.

    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

    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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
