id hate to lose petterd the guy has so much poise and class about him, then again Frawley is a KPP.... but if we had to choose id trade Frawley remember this is bringing us Judd some hard calls have to be made but yeh i have that kind of emotional attachment to Petterd and we need pace in our side and hardness, Ricky brings both these!

I would be [censored] if we lost either!!

After plenty of thought, I have decided that I would be more [censored] if we gave up Petterd..... Like others have said, he has class and poise and I love the reference to James Hird earlier in this thread.... The kid has footy smarts and that is more valuable than a potential KPP (IMHO)

I will honestly cry if we lose Frawley or Pettard. Judd is not worth the loss of either of these players. We have a very ordinary backline and have had one for years. In my opinion its the 3rd worst defence in the leigue. Frawley looks the goods. As for pettard, well he knows how to get the ball and i believe hes the X factor in our team. Judd is not worth it. Seriously Moloney, sylvia and now Judd will all be OP players on our list.

It's not that I know Judd is not going to choose Melbourne, I'm just not getting hyped about the possibility. Being positive about your team winning the flag is fine, but being positive about a player coming to your club isn't. I just think people are setting themselves up to be really, really let-down. Positivity is fine when it's in regards to the club, but when its having faith as to whether a player is going to choose us, well, I think it's a little silly. I'm just not all that confident he'll be at MFC next year. But god, I hope I'm wrong, believe me.

spot on, carlton and collingwood will be working out trade options just as good as what were putting up. get your hopes up to high is only setting yourself up for a fall. if he comes he comes......

Petterd every day of the week.

I'm a big fan of Chip, but still have question marks.

Petterd had that footballers look from the first second, then some.

He was looking more impressive than Gibbs, and is so fearless he probably is at the wrong team.

Keep.

Petterd may be a great player, but if Frawley ends up a good key defender, he'll be more valuable than Petterd in the long run.

What if Frawley turns out to be yet another stinker?

Petterd is less of a risky investment. He's a lot more likely to make it than Frawley.

True, but IMO Frawley won't be a stinker, far from it.

That's exactly why I don't want to lose him. I don't want to lose either, just to make that clear.

I have been reading 'land for a few years and thought occo that you knew a little bit.

You cannot be serious.. Surely we dont need to talk about how good Judd is and what he could bring to the club.

Of course we will have to give up someone and probably someone we dont want to.

He will be worth it. I think he may bring his own X factor... just a hunch...

Dont disagree about our defence. But Rivers and Bartrum back, and Belly improving, will be good. Our midfield improvement will improve our defence too. More pressure on delivery, getting numbers back etc.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
