Country footballer that came through the TAC cup with the bushies and played with some very good AFL today.

Went over to the SANFL to have a year under Former demon player Clay Sampson then back to Victoria to the VFL with Coburg who interestingly was coached by Jade Rawlings for half the year before he took over from Terry Wallace.

Played EDFL for Northern Saints now back up the country playing the strong Ovens and Murray league (Fev League) and still going today

Though didn't have a really good year this year battled hamstring problems...

Great thread could snag a few recruits for the forum games Lol

Anthony Miles, 3 games for ten goals, goal kicking mid sounds really good, averages 3 goals a match, GET ONTO IT MFC!

LOL dude you read that wrongly have a closer look.

I don't think we disagree, because it's getting off topic in. This was never a comparison of which department is higher priority.

And for what it's worth I agree that the footy department is more important that a few pics on the website.

Ok good. Lets get back on topic.

Ok pick 9 my prefrence in order:

Dunstan

Sheed

Freeman.

I can't help if you don't understand a little tongue in cheek or sarcasm.

I mentioned memberships and marketing in reference to your negative reply to my original post...don't put the cart before the horse.

Coming from the person that whinges about player not photoshopped.. said no one ever

I'd be worried if the media department were pulling the trading strings...stupid comment

Wouldn't blame them

If we could develop players like other teams...then this is where they'd start

That would be good

Who's sulking?

I gave you a very reasonable explanation in reference to marketing and membership, if you can't see that then it's not my problem.

''What gives Melbourne fc....get some pics of our new players up on the website....''

You mentioned nothing about memberships and Marketing. Your complaining about our players not in their polo's because all the other clubs are doing it with Photoshop.. Just because they are not in their tops doesn't mean our Memberships will crumble and no one will sign up. Wait till pre season start then you might see them in singlet's.

Until then worry about what's more important for this club and that's winning games.

Heard of photoshop? all the other clubs have...If you've got better things to worry about, how about focusing on them rather than replying negatively to my post.

I'm sure there's a lot of supporters who can't wait to see our new players in the red and blue...this is highlighted by the fact that most other teams use the opportunity as a marketing tool...who knows, it may create a little bit of excitement and encourage a few people to sign on as members...we all know we need more of them.

See above

Well if your that desperate go photoshop yourself.. having a sulk over the club not photo shopping players in their rightful colours? Wowee I can see Roos bursting into Melbourne headquarters ranting and raving because our media team haven't photo shopped our new blokes.....

Andrew Nichol is someone the highly talk about very highly. Glad he is still on board.

Can we use our PSD pick in the national draft meaning we use 4 live picks??

It seems like as soon as every trade is done there's an image of that player posted straight away wearing his new teams jersey...

We had all our trades done basically a week ago, yet the best we've had is Dom Tyson in a polo shirt. (I'm not including fellow demonlanders attempts at photoshop)

What gives Melbourne fc....get some pics of our new players up on the website....

Maybe if you did your research you will find out Bernie Vince and Viv Michie are on holidays, Daniel Cross is not even a Melbourne player yet. Leaving Tyson who is in Melbourne.

Seriously Far more important things to worry about then Players not in their Polo tops.. FMD..

Im gonna cop it for this but next year Dawes needs to seriously show why we paid overs for him. If Fitzy keeps improving the way he is then i can see him going straight past Dawes. To be honest i never rated him at Collingwood and was a bit disapointed we picked him up but i give every new player a chance when they pull on the jumper and his leadership was valuable for our group, and a bloke that demanded respect which i liked.

But Dawes has been carrying injuries for the last 2-4 years and i fear he will just continue to break down and never make the contribution that we (and he) would like. This is now's Fitzy time to really stamp himself in the forward line and prove he is just as good as a player as Dawes. His leadership is very valuable to our young group but its now time to get on the park and showing a bit. I see Dawes as as player that will be squeezed out of our best 22 in two years time.

Sorry should we look at Sam Darley from gws?

Reports are that he is doggies bound today.

Yep i think we have put the cue in the rack.

Rumours that bulldogs may try and pick up gws midfielder in the psd.

Now as we have a pick before the doggies, should we look at him?

Is he any good? I know we need mids and more mids but I have no idea if this kid can play!?

who?

Anyone reckon we will do a quick sneaky trade today before time??

Daniel will at the very least be playing VFL next year as he has offers from bendio Gold, Box Hill Hawks and The Casey Scorpions and others i think but can't remember them. He has told me that Melbourne has contacted him and talked about recruiting him, although they've only only brief discussions he and has family definitely think its a possibility.

Good size frame on the lad. if he has got what it takes then all the best for him. Would he be a rookie option or in the main draft you reckon?

Thanks for the insight.

Disagree, we have a better midfield (under Roos we will anyway) then alot of them.

Ok first of all our midfield will be better then this year but to say we have a better midfield then alot of them is laughable.. we are still inexperienc and lack a bit of depth. Give us another year or two of good trading and drafting under Roos then we laughing!

Btw Gold Coast have some serious midfield talent going. Add Jack Martin to that list is a very scary prospect.

Well like mine most of your favourite players have gawn. Can't you handle outa the box ?

Oh so you were being serious...

My bad.

Article on AFL website citing Bruce to St Kilda is slow and there is a chance Bruce will go to the PSD.

Would be happy if we got this bloke.

pick 20

Was that the pick for Grundy?

What did we give up for him again??

Jesus, Lions absolutely raped with that, wtf are they doing?

They are a different bunch up there. Moloney and Martin fit like a glove for them.

Polec deal done.

Port Adelaide
In: Pick 21 (from GWS), Pick 45, Jared Polec (from BL)
Out: Pick 14, Pick 34

Brisbane Lions
In: Pick 22 (from GWS), Pick 34 (from PA)
Out: Pick 29, Pick 45, Jared Polec

GWS Giants
In: Pick 14 (from PA), Pick 29 (from BL)
OUT: PICK 21, 22

Sort of like how Melbourne turned Pick 5 into Brock McLean, Brock McLean into Pick 11, Pick 11 into Jordan Gysberts, Jordan Gysberts into Cam Pedersen (with a downgrade inpicks in North's favour), with Pedersen clogging our list for 3 years. Would love to go through other trading and drafting flows and see if any club can top that.

Lol good way of putting it.

Injured calf ankle and knee? Doubt he ll play a game in 2014 at this rate.

Not writing him off yet but jeez he hasn't had the greatest start for us and looks like its gonna be another slow one for him next year at the start of the year..

you mean for pick 33

We gave the lions pick 12 which they used for Docherty, Lions fans would be furious
