With everything going on at the Suns this year, and the fact that they suck big time aswell, I think this off season is a great time to get into the ears of a few of their young guns who DO have their heads screwed on ! Blokes like Prestia, Swallow and Tom lLynch. Maybe even Jagaer Bomb !! As we saw last off season contracts don't stand for much anymore so if we can get talking to the agents and offer some big bucks maybe we could get one of these young yet still quality players.

Have heard rocket isnt scared of trading out blokes he doesn't think will buy in, big chance we don't want those ones.

Yep. While a lot of them may have talent, the last thing we want is a bunch of Sam Bleases running around who don't give a flying [censored].

And I'm not sure a lot of other clubs would either. GC could be stuck with them.

Apparently there's a huge split between the "God squad" and the "party squad." Almost irreparably so. I imagine Rocket wouldn't be helping the situation, at all.

both groups seeking their own high or elevated mood state by different methods. Either pass the prayer book or pass the sugar. I have tried both and nirvana is temporary. I prefer women and whisky.

What the hell is the 'God Squad'? I think I can work out the 'Party Squad'.

Id much rather be on the party squad

And id never play for a captain who tried to make the team pray before a game. No wonder they are a rabble.

Only one player from the GCS that interests me and that is Dion Prestia because he's really one of us. Family steeped in the Melbourne tradition making us honour bound to extricate him from the mess up there.

He interests me because he's a gun, but the MFC connection certainly allows me to love him when he's not playing for the MFC.

are they're irreconcilable differences then?

imagine rocket getting between domestic differences.

I'm sure every team has a party squad, not sure about god squads though

Ok, lets get a good catholic (I guess), then.

can anyone tell me if Goringe will be wearing orange, this time next year?

Is he in the God Squad or the Party Squad? :wacko:

If Gary Snr was still playing he would be very confused.

Well the Herald Sun just put a line through Harley Bennel for everyone bar Essen Don and West Coast.

Not sure that Bennell would be beyond the ability of Roos, Goodwin and McCartney and mentors such as Cross and Petracca. I think that we should give it a go!

Sure did Gd

It also shows how stupid the AFL's three strike rule is.

Players know they will be unlucky to get caught and can get caught twice before anyone knows.

I have always thought it is more about keeping the problem out of the spot light than finding the problems.

That is what we thought a few years back and that ended in crap.

OD the whole thrust of this thread is that we may be able to entice some talent from the GCSs. Considering the fact that KH has identified a quarter of their list as having dabbled with illegal drugs, surely if we are to take a risk we should do it with one of their more talented players! I cannot see Eade wanting to keep many of them on the list and will likely be pressured to jettison most for the best deal that he can negotiate. Maybe we can swap for Jordy and Terlich?

Don't agree CBDees this will end in tears.

The MFC have finally got a good culture developing I do not want that risked by an idiot.

Leopards and spots is my view.

Chase someone who is unhappy being at the GCS not a drug head.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
