With a few players retiring this season our Salary Cap will be freed up and able to buy some decent footballers, Who should we be looking at? Ben Cousins? A decent Ruckman and Center Half Forward ? Any names which are out of contract at seasons end we should be chasing? What do you's reckon? Is J. Brown contracted next year? would he come home?

Brown said he's not likely to budge for the rest of his playing career.

I'm also willing to say that recruiting managers are looking for players 12 months of the year

What do you's reckon? Is J. Brown contracted next year? would he come home?

Love your optimism mate, but...

He wouldn't touch us with a barge pole.

I think the club has a responsibility to be conscious of big names who might be available. The problem is, nobody wants to be a hero these days. It's all about the almighty dollar. The Juda$ affair was proof enough of that.

I will be mad if we don't snare a high profile footballer next year. We will have the money. Melbourne F.C need a player that puts bums on seats. I can't think of anyone that does now. There aint many players that get me excited, Davey did for a little bit. We need a Superstar every other team has one except us and it shows come Brownlow night when we cant get votes.

If M.F.C choose to take burnt out hacks like the past i'll be even more wild. I don't want to see us wasting money like we did on Turley, Pickett, Chisolm, Cook, Ellis, Moorcroft, Motlop, Ingerson, Vardy.

Ingerson ruled!

the rest were duds though

If we are poaching we have to poach quality young players, 2 or 3 seasons in... a superstar with only 2 or 3 years left of his peak is useless to us

Cousins is too old. Decent rucks - and particularly CHF's - aren't generally thrown away by Clubs...particularly if we're talking under 28s.

I thought Ingerson was pretty good for us. Fair call on most of the others, although Vardy gave us more than the rest. Anyhow, I can't see the point in picking up recycled players unless they're quite young.

Cousins will want a premiership as well

Cousins will want a premiership as well

No thanks. Too old, he's 30 I think.

like I said "he'll want a premiership"

Thus ruling out Melbourne.

Where can we find a list of players out of contract from other teams?
