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:

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
