I think you'll find this is a clever bit of misdirection from Roosy.

Would agree with that.

In a shallow draft Roos may prefer to get an FA in instead of a comp pick, if Garland goes.

For those interested here is the list of 2015 FA's http://www.afl.com.au/trade/free-agency

Not many goodies left for Roos to choose from.

Kreuzer is in negotiations with Carlton

Leuenberger, Selwood and Dangerfield tipped to go to Geelong

Suckling has been linked to Lions

Roos is probably creating a smokescreen with his FA comments!

Probably has some surprises in store!

    What MFC needs to do now, after last weeks debacle, is look at who they should take at number 1 draft pick

    Perhaps we need an early draft thread

    We're not a good footy club yet, but we're not the worst in the competition. There is no way that we'll be finishing last on the ladder this year.

    Demonland is so ridiculous. Last week people were talking about winning 8 of the last 9 and squeezing into the finals, and this week people are talking about winning the spoon.

    I've tipped against us this weekend as I think Brisbane have been in good form of late without much reward. This weekend's result won't impact my belief that we won't finish on the bottom. Bottom four, probably, but not bottom.

    I hope we get him. He's a real emerging talent and he's had the opportunity to learn a bit from the master.

    If it was anyone else other than BBO, I wouldn't have to check. But surely you're not referring to Karmichael, are you?

    Jay Clark thinks that the Lions should play hardball with Aish, and I agree with him. I hate the idea that a player can select his own club after two years in the system, and the club that drafted him usually receives unders in return despite having significantly invested in the player.

    He also suspects that Carlton are frontrunners for his services.

    Tom Boyd did it after one year.

    Did Roos say that we'd be heavily involved in FA specifically, or just in trading more generally?

    Unless of course he was talking about targeting 2016 FAs a la Dangerfield last year.

    we will finish with 5 or 6 wins which will leave us 2nd or 3rd off the bottom i think we will be above the lions on For and Against and the the Blue's to get the spoon

    I don't think it's vague, he stated we will go after FA's.

    Which is just stating the obvious and not offering up any details/information

    May as well be saying that the grass is green and the sky is blue

    You'd prefer he comes out and says exactly who we are targeting?

    Coaches won't discuss contracted players.

    I prefer people not jumping to conclusions over passing comments that mean nothing

    How do you know they mean nothing olisk?

    Pretty obvious pot shot at the system but also a silly thing to get supporters hopes up and then not bother.

    They'd make us keep paying his contract.

    Shop him around to Bomberblitz instead?

    I notice Will Langford still hasn't re-signed with the Hawks, and it doesn't seem like happening anytime soon.

    Wonder if Roosy has our list manager chasing a Joey Kennedy style raid on the Hawks.

    Not ruling out trading a top pick for an A-grader.

    Can't let the top clubs have the free agents all to themselves.

    Yeah, riveting stuff.

    I had an emerging talent just a couple of weeks back... new girl around the corner. that did it.

    brought out the worst in moi.

    but then read about this flogging of a dead horse, & alas, what a waste.

    Better run that past me again 'luded.

    If it was anyone else other than BBO, I wouldn't have to check. But surely you're not referring to Karmichael, are you?

    I can take or leave K Hunt.

    ...lucky Mr Hunt wasn't born German around the time of 2nd WW. :cool:

    On todays form in the VFL, Hunt should earn another year on the list. His pace is appealing.

    To update the likely list turnover:

    Gone - Mckenzie, Bail, Fitz, M Jones/ Riley, Terlich.

    Retired - Jamar

    Likely trade - Toumpas, Howe.

    Paul Roos made mention in his post match presser that to take the next step we need to add an A+ midfielder

    Perhaps the rumours are true about Prestia coming are true :roos:

    • 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?
