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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    ...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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
