Langdon, Tomlinson, pick 3, pick 8 and a fit Bennell for nix.

If you’re not happy with that trade period you are just plain miserable 

This year's pick 8 might be a top 4 pick next year.

 

The only speed we have brought in, assuming Bennell comes in, is really just a bit of a gamble.

Frost out, and gamble in....

I can't see how our outside speed is going to be transformed as a result....unless pick 3 and 8 are jets that are ready to go....which I doubt.

 

 

Plain miserable I must be.

As for the others, hey, we are MFC supporters.  We over-celebrate/congratulate mediocrity; dismiss/excuse failure; reflect on brief success as halcyon days.....

 

 

It’s a good move. My expectations are reasonably low given his injury history, but he is more a chance of helping us than a dump pick at the end of the draft.

Correct, as in "Woolloongabba".

I reckon a lot of Demonlanders have collectively gone mad & lost their objectivity and logical reasoning in their desperate quest for success.

What happened to the NO Dickhe@ds policy.

Have people forgotten the troubles & dramas this bloke has caused at 2 Clubs !! with regard to drugs and poor discipline.

 And this is before you even begin to look at his injury problems

 

Let's bring in a talented Dickhe@d. Jetta and May could sort him out away from the club. Hand him straight to Burgess and if Burgess says he is cutting the mustard, get him in for 2 years.

Tough questions?  Here's your answer.

Yes, you would suggest we're out of the Martin race and we were probably never in it, such was his desire to get to Carlton.

End story.  Not that tough.

^ According to old mate here we didn’t bring in Langdon and Tomlinson to address our outside issues.

Jason Taylor was interviewed on picks 3, 8 and Harley Bennell. Anyone hear it?

A few of Bennell's performances:

2012 V's Melbourne - 38 possessions/4 goals

2012 V Freo - 37 possessions/3 goals

2013 V Brisbane - 27 possessions/3 goals

2013 V Port - 28 possessions/3 goals

2014 V Geelong - 27 possessions/6 goals

2015 V Adelaide - 39 possessions

 

Good stats....I guess....

I remember being at that game in 2012 he tore us a new one...back in the dark Mark Neeld era and we copped a pasting from the Suns at home

 

EDIT - actually might have been a different game according to records we won that one!

More than happy to miss out on Martin if we get Bennell, who is 5 times the player  (but yes, he needs to get on to the field)

 

 

Has only met with us personally by the sounds of it. The ball is well and truly in our court now. 

"Just spoke to Harley Bennell after his medical with the Dees. Says he’s been given no guarantees they will recruit him. His manager has spoken to the Saints but not him personally. “I’d do anything to have one last shot at it.” "

I would say anytime Frost had ball in hand it was a gamble.

Gamble out, calculated risk in...

i don't see any list management connect between bennel and frost. apples and oranges. different needs and purposes

The best use of his speed this season was when he chased down Petruccelle and ripped his jumper to shreds. He was awarded the free, took the kick and booted it out on the full. The ball re-entered the Eagles 50. This is Frost. 

You whine about mediocrity, playing it safe hasn’t gotten us anywhere in 60 years. I think it’s time we don’t play it safe and take a gamble on someone like Bennell.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
