You sure you don't mean Melbourne-like?

Richmonds first round draft picks have been a proven success since Hardwick too over.

I think you mean 'Melbourne like'...

Conca and Ben Lennon haven't been anything to write home about

To early to call on Cory Ellis

I will give you Vlastuin and Brandon Ellis

Under the new FD I think we have nailed it with Salem & Brayshaw

If nothing else I've just unloaded about 25 text messages to 3 of my mates. 2 Collingwood and 1 Richmond. A as Dees member I get so much joy out of the little things.

You should've also reminded them how we beat them this year as well!

Treloar is a similar player to Anthony Miles. If Richmond were to pay overs for Treloar, we should ask the question to Miles.

I think MIles is a decent player, you know exactly what you are going to get. He is hard nose, and Richmond might be open to trading him out in order to retain their 2016 first selection. Whether or not Miles is worth our first rounder is probably another question, I am unsure, that would be something we'd need to weigh up. I would say on last years form, he is worth our first rounder, but he has been a bit off this year.

Treloar is in a whole different league to Miles, and has so much more speed, skill and X factor.

Another bizarre comment by you..

Treloar and Miles are two completely different players.

And first of all why the hell would Richmond trade out one of their up and coming midfielders who has been ine of the important member of the team thats driven this club up the ladder. Go watch his game against Hawthorn and you will see he was the best midfielder on the night.

In the Hun today (or yesterday) it says if Treloar leaves it will be for the deal that best suits the club.

It would be nice if that's not all bluff as it would bring us right back in the picture and unfortunately Essendon (until they offer a second round pick) and Carlton.

Pick 5 and Jeremy Howe would be a deal they'd have to consider surely. I reckon he's going to the pies or Hawks though.

Yeah i'd do that in a heartbeat, but he doesn't fit the Roos mold of big midfielders

If thats the case then why is Jack Viney getting a game..

Sheesh i know Roosy likes big bodied midfielders but if the opportunity came that Treloar would be available Roos would be the first to welcome him with open arms. He is a future brownlow medalist.

As i said in my post, i'd do it in a heartbeat. Treloar would instantly become our best player. Roosy just seems to be infatuated with big-bodied midfielders for some reason.

Once he increases his running capacity and settles into the AFL environment a bit more, i reckon VDB could be this for us.

It's apples and oranges though, as i'd have a better chance of winning the lottery than Treloar coming to the Dees.

This is our biggest problem, the club desperately needs a signing of this calibre.

Not that it matters but any idea of who he went for pre AFL career?

Prestia was a keen Dees supporter.

Again I know this doesn't matter. Its been nice watching Harmes play for the club he loved as kid.

Often doesn't seem to matter though does it unfortunately? Was surprised that Prestia allegedly turned our advances away.

If I was playing at another club and had the opportunity to join the Dees I would like to think I'd do it in a heartbeat!

Its hard not to argue after watching Mundy just bully has over the weekend.

I doubt this 'Roos mold' people talk about is really much different to what any coach thinks. If you had two players similar in clearance skills and contested pill but one was a foot taller and can compete in the air it would be obvious who we/anyone would chase.

Still, if someone whos a tad shorter but a really good player comes available, of course we would come a knocking. Just like we did with Prestia

Carlton I think, but looks like a Collingwood supporter.

It wouldn't surprise me if we didn't already gave Prestia signed.

No. Melbourne-like would be signing a big deal and then turning out to be the biggest bust in free agent history.

For a career-ending injury or other issue to be "Melbourne-like", the player would need to be in the midst of or having just had a career-best season. Think Jakovich, Jurrah, Clark, Tingay, etc etc

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
