Who the hell signed off on trading Earl Spalding to the Blues?

This post needs more love, he's reading of the play and decision making was quite good, but these two aspects of his game that CB mentioned absolutely gives me the shits

The Carlton connection has already proven to be a crock of shiite, by Carlton themselves, why do people believe this crap. 1st post, I smell a troll

The issue for Port is if they take any FA's then their compensation for losing Chaplin and Pearce will be reduced, which is why they decided to trade for Monfries.

Good first post mate, please post more!!

Would love to get this kid but I think he'll now go to GWS

Sorry to burst your bubble but the F/S bidding takes place before anything else. If GC bids and we want Viney then we can't trade that pick

Which about 15 people will read

tl;dr Jokes!, very good

It's The Australian FFS, the most irrelevant paper around. Denham does this all the time, creates fanciful rumours in a bid to get some gullile fool to buy his paper.

Thumbs?

Good to have you back Nugde, no idea fi what you say is accurate or not, but I don't care

Spot on bub, it's bewildering that any Melbourne fan would be so desperate to believe anything Lloyd says about our club with zero evidence to back up his claim.

Rubbish, Lloyd stated that Melbourne couldn't afford to monitor all the players, he specifically said that only some can be monitored each session. Which device is used to monitor the players? GPS, he even clearly stated that in comparison Essendon had all their players wired up. You need to deal with the fact that Llyod was wrong and it's bloody embarrasing that Melbourne fans are so desperate to believe his [censored], Melbourne do not have problems with collecting the information, yes they could do with more people to analysis the info but Lloyd's accusation that Melbourne can't afford to monitor our players is bullshiite

Spending all of my time at Essendon, I thought it was standard practice that every player was monitored throughout every session with GPS data to get 100 per cent accuracy on workload and fatigue. This, obviously, costs money but I was shocked to hear that in 2012 only some players at the Dogs and Demons can be monitored each session as they don't have the funds to monitor all players.

The suggestion that the citi group would be reducing their activities in countries like Australia is laughable, anyone in the industry knows that. The shut down some of their departments a couple o fyears ago that weren't making money but they're going hard for new business.

What he said was that the club couldn't afford enough gps units for all the players, which is clearly not the case. It was a poorly written article based on rumours and second hand information, at best. A real journalist would have contacted the club before going to print but that clearly did not happen. Shame on anyone here for believing that goose

Grossly mismanaged by Port Adelaide, get him back down to his proper playing weight and he can make it, he'd also come very cheaply. Worth a punt imho

It's truly bewildering that anyone would believe a word that that fool would say about our club.

Why are you so desperate to believe someone like Lloyd? He has consistently made comments in the past that were obviously not true and he hates Melbourne. i'd prefer to believe Neil Craig thank you very much. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/148411/default.aspx Seriously, why do some people even barrack for Melbourne, they're so desperate to believe anything negative written in the media

Seriously people, calm down. The papers are full of [censored] stories like this, it's been proven time and time again. I don't understand why someone wants to stick it to the club on the basis of some idiot in the media and without any shred of evidence to back up these claims.

Lloyd has a reputation for talking shiite in a desperate attempt to become relevant, he also has history with taking pot shots at Melbourne. Only a foolish person with disregard everything he says but only the naive would blindly accept his word as gospel

Now his nickname is bin man, how far they fall.

My support for a club is similiar to someone's belief in a religion, it's not something that you can choose to believe in or not like flicking a light switch on or off, it's something within that I don't really have a choice. At the risk of sounding corny it's in my blood. There is no possible way I could follow another club, if Melbourne ceased to exist then I would follow a different code.

Unrestricted can't, but restricted can. Rivers however is unrestricted so in this instance there will be no trade regardless of what happens
