Relton Roberts

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Cut down in his prime but from all reports eager to get back into the AFL after being poorly developed by Richmond, Relton Roberts is a tackling machine who is unique in that he can kick the ball too.

His highlights from only a handful of years ago show how exciting he could be. He along with Lumumba or Salem on the half back would terrorise opposition players for many years to come.

I'm not sure of his current contract status, but I would think that $700,000 over three years to start things off could be enough to lure him back to Melbourne. We of course would need to use our first round draft pick on him as it is likely that other clubs are showing a keen interest in this once in a lifetime talent.

We already know he looks good in the red and blue so let's make it happen!

No

Serious dedicated hard nut footballers who will run through brick walls and set a strong team culture in the Viney & Brayshaw mould

That is what we want

Jurrah was a freak but for all our howling down of Toumpas v Wines/Stringer & Watts v Natanui, Jurrah cost us Rockliff

[Biffen 12,949]

can we pay him in pies and beer?

One meat pie should get it done Biff.

He'll be 30 years old by next season but with a bit of conditioning and a few weeks pre season I'd say he'll come good.

It's a big old yes from me.

I take it that he has enough 'X' factor for you, Ethan?

I remember the stories about him smashing burgers and pies before games for Richmond.

They were horrible, fabricated and downright unfair lies. I believe Relton deserves a second chance.

Lighten up. I thought it very humurous. Poking a bit of fun at posters who start threads at the mere mention of a player being named in the media regardless of their current situation, contract status or footy ability.

[daisycutter 29,892]

just get it done

[reynolds46 1,297]

sadly,wont happen he has stated that the pies are his preference

[Young Blood 2,639]

thats a shame. His highlights when he was at Richmond are impressive.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

This is the best.

[ManDee 7,319]

If we swap our round 1 and round 3 draft picks to Carlton for Ciaran Sheehan & Ciaran Byrne then Carlton trade pick one and their Priority pick to Sydney for Buddy Franklin and Sydney trade pick 2 and Aliir Aliir to Collingwood for their 3rd round pick and Jarrod Witts to Essendon for Melksham and their 2nd round pick then, ..... damn I forgot where I was going with that.

Edit:- That's right and then we could get Relton Roberts in a swap for a 1976 Cortina a packet of Winfield Blue and two Ciaran's.
