Not overs. For every good pick 2 and 3, there are dozens very ordinary ones who will never come close to being as good as Clarry. 

This is all still very raw but at this point in time I’m just hoping this 2 and 3 know that homemade tattoo guns aren’t a great idea.

Anything to say dazzle & co? What was it, 3wks ago? 
 

need to see final products, but could either be best thing ever and set us up for a decade OR be looked back on as the dumbest move of all time but seemingly Clarry has made his bed. Unfortunately

I remember when we were trading up for Reid cause we won't have many list spots...now we'd be lucky to field a side

No. The list spots was just what made me ask about what was happening, as clearly something didn’t add up, as in something else had to drop first, and now we know — it’s spots to use more picks. It’s not complex champ 🤦‍♂️

Yes, the Clarry drug rumours — are you saying they’re real? Hahaha wow talk about clutching at straws, someone’s getting desperate! So what was the big news then? And how did I know this morning at 8am it was gonna drop today at 8PM?!?! Ur such a fool, sorry u turned out to look like a muppet, but that’s what you get for constantly trying to maximise your own self-worth by minimising others. Enjoy 😉

I’ll take apologies now.. THIS is what was coming, as paired couple wks back, of which, I confirmed this morning!

 

Picks 2+3 for Oliver & a later pick. 

So you actually think the club will trade Clarry?

Clarry out for Reid and the choice of McKercher/Duursma/Watson/O’Sullivan in would be a very spectacular trade period!

Ballsy AF from a club that’s been lamented for its lack of dare for 3 years

And given the ri-donk-ulousness of this forum these days, next time I’ll keep it all to myself — I Mean what’s the darn point when these giblets somehow remain carrying-on even AFTER today. I thought posting this morning what was gonna come today would help alleviate this mess (and cus I was told it’d be out by 2pm, oops 😠) but even still they carry-on like the sour, bitter, salty souks they are. So stuff you then!


Well nudge you have really put it out there. I don't think it has dropped that the interested club is NM. We will know soon. Cheers good work.

No. And I hope not, I merely am repeating the narrative of others. But I like the fact where thinking left field and using where we have a surplus to try and full generational gaps as well as immediate ones. But unless it’s somehow Harley and Larkey, I’m a no. But the conundrum is, that it must also mean those issues re Clarry are real, as in the tattoo, the independent doc. The whinging bout the club etc and part of me says STUFF YOU THEN Clarry, but then I compose and remember it’s likely individuals he’s upset with, NOT the club.

I understand this is your point of view, but I’m asking if your information is that it’s likely that we will trade him if we are being offered pick 2+3 as you suggested?

Yep. That’s been the talk! I hope you’ll now understand, had I mentioned any sort of specifics, and it fell through - I’d of liked like a the biggest tool alive and been torn apart and had to higher a new name and I’ve been here since day dot basically so wasn’t gonna do that. Oh yeah, and I’d of clearly been the source and burned my real self HARD, that too 🤣😂😇

So will this happen Nudge or is it unlikely?

All I know is that the current bounty inc getting picks 1, and another top 4, to either draft or use for a KF, be it this or next year. The NM piece was part supposition on another’s part, but it makes sense that’s for sure, and that third party is someone I know wouldn’t mention them if they hadnt been spoken too, but there’s plenty to play out yet. But if I hear anything further I’ll be keeping it to myself, maybe with an anonymous email I can then refer too later for dazzle-digging fun.

Your making this up as you go along - you implied what was coming was a forward trade target.

If I had to play bookie, I’d have it $2.80 — As the deal would need to be complex & to have MANY parties say yes. Hence why this time of year 90% of what gets discussed is never even heard out in open. But fact club was calling other clubs re Clarry, value, is BIG!

Keep up the good stuff Nudge. Dazzle is Dazzle he's harmless. Don't let him put you off posting.

No, pls go back and re read the specific post, I certainly hoped it would and still do. But again, what other big news dripping today could I have been referring to? 
 

my post re the disc I had also when asked, had me respond I’d say it’s more to do with Harley Reid than anything else. But thanks for chipping in 🤣

Haha yep..

The dude has lost a handle of things and is now a scattering mess.

There's very few that take him serious now.

Ur right, it must of been the other massive news announced today I was referring to! Hahaha you’re literally the most moronic individual I’ve heard in decades, and that’s a hefty field my friend, hefty personified! Anyone who read my original post about something big coming, and that then saw me post this morning — gets it. Sorry I didn’t inc you champ, but it’s because I don’t reveal to much, that enables me to keep hearing these things so if you think I’m gonna go too far and burn all those relationships, you’re wrong! Hoorah 👋🏻

Picks 2+3 for Oliver & a later pick. 

Stepping this out a little, if we nabbed 2 & 3, we could probably still trade for Reid whilst retaining p3. Could a Reid/Duursma double be on the wish list?

 

How often have we been seduced by early picks and they’ve amounted to nothing more than good ordinary players. 
To trade the best contested midfielder in the game for speculative picks is a hard sell for me. 
Would need an established player involved. 

Honestly if this club is now shopping semi-publically a once-in-a-generation talent because of 'attitude issues' twelve months after signing him for seven years our list management foresight is laughably bad.

In recent times we have been good at the draft but the decades before that were at best mixed in terms of drafting and at times appallingly bad. Why gamble what is for what might be?

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
