On a side note, I'm not sure which Elliot I would prefer.

Typical Thread on Melbournes capacity to draft +ve viewpoint "Player x would fit well and be a great addition" -ve viewpoint "Yeah but the MFC suck at getting anyone good, and if we do, we always get reamed and pay over the odds AND they are always injured" -vs viewpoint "also, we never get anyone good, just spuds and list cloggers" +ve viewpoint "mmm uh huh" -ve " jason taylor jason taylor jason taylor" -ve "mahoney mahoney mahoney pert pert pert" +ve " so if we get a class player, we pay overs, and if we don't get a class player BUT a role player, that's not good enough? Who do you expect us to draft?" -ve "non response, just indignant rage at poster"

Willie Rioli Suspended for 2 years
It's the cynic in me - and I cannot help but think that there would be 'club/lockeroom talk' at all clubs on how to evade tests. Look at G.Allen and C Lambert with Whitfield as one example, and yes, it is just one example, but Cousins spoke about his capacity to evade testing and how certain players feel 'targeted' while others have gone years without being tested. 'Lads, we don't care what you do in your own time, its your call, just dont get caught'.

Farewell Sam Frost
Some very astute observations there @Red and Blue realist

Farewell Sam Frost
A range of valid points and they don't quite wash for me - I respectfully disagree

Farewell Sam Frost
I agree Rodney, it was simplistic, and reductionist - I was a little rushed to make my point in-between kids drop off etc. Nonetheless that particular point is illustrative of my overall view. For me, Frost is too inconsistent in game, even though he had a far superior and consistent year than any other.

Farewell Sam Frost
The pragmatic question is. What don’t the football department see in him going forward. What are the risks that he brings to play? and what is coachable in his attributes?

Farewell Sam Frost
A point made by @fr_ap on his wonderful thread a little while ago. "Out of players who have played at least 10 games, Frost and OMac are the two who have cost us the most scores as a % of their turnovers. Frost is ranked 12th in the league (1st = a really bad thing), conceding a score 34% of the time he turns it over, resulting in 17 shots at goal (9 goals 8 ) directly from his turnovers. Omac is ranked 15th in the league, conceding a score 33% of the time. " I presume in the AFL world, OMAC has zero currency. Frost does have currency, hence the disparate opinions on this thread. I for one would happily move Frost on, as irrespective of how dynamic he looks when playing, he still makes horrible turnovers that costs momentum, AND he has currency in the AFL world. So, I wish him all the best and good luck to him at Hawthorn, he is a liability wherever he plays.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON
I've only been on this forum for a couple of years now - and the first week I got on, there was a bloke/lass promoting knowledge of trades/stuff - he/she may have been called The Riddler... this is ACTUALLY what got me hooked to Demonland... and alas at the end, (s)he vanished, and never responded... If you're out there Riddler, come back and finish what you started.

It's rather tarragont of you to say that thyme is up on this thread. As Cameron Fry once said. "Don't make me participate in your stupid crap...You make me get out of bed. You make me come over. You make me make a phony phone call to Edward Rooney? The man could squash my nuts into oblivion. And, and, and then, and then, you deliberately hurt my feelings."

Well, he was once known as the hardest man in the UK. SWYL writing style reminds me of a bloke who is hard as nails and never gives an inch...very, very little empathy.

I am not disputing the veracity of the information... we are all on here because we are whiling away the hours waiting for something interesting to occur to a club that we care about.
