More likely to be Preuss & 2021 first rounder -
Reckon Crouch is one of those guys who is a good player, looks good of paper, but makes your team no better
Dogs have trialed it with Dunkley but it might actually work with Jackson
Will rotate between half forward, full forward, wing and inside mid!
Think we might be idiots if we took Blakely too! ?
You have NFI if you’re comparing Ben Brown and Sava
Low footy IQ, can't mark
Langdon & Salem not polling a single vote is interesting
And how do the coaches respond to that mentality
King, Membrey, Marshall, Ryder & now Brown? Surely not.
Budget Stephenson without the Sportsbet account -
He couldn't threaten to leave the league should he poll too few could he?
Well no, but yes
I'd want Whitfield out of that deal.
Welcome to Melbourne FC: Tim Taranto
"75%" righteo
Inside mid - tick Butcher - tick Would have to give up first rounder - tick Sign me up
I'm always pro getting a player for 'free'
Hunt for one of those vacant spots...
That may be fair enough, but why isn't he in conversions with Geelong, or Richmond? I don't really understand how Carlton have come into the equation, it'd be the definition of a sideways trade.
All from Tom Morris: Jetta, hannan, mcdonalds (x2), preuss .. all rumoured to be leaving ... what is going on at melbourne? Are they freeing up cap space for someone? There is an acknowledgement that the list needs a mini revamp to challenge again. Jetta and T.McDonald are contracted but were out of favour with Goodwin so it makes sense they'd be keen to play elsewhere. Ollie Wines or Clayton Oliver to Blues? Not Wines. Rumours about Oliver have been strongly denied by his management. The Demons midfielder is unsettled but until he requests a trade I will believe his management that he's going nowhere. Likelihood of Ben brown coming to essendon? Chance, but still reckon more likely the Dees

Bigfooty ramblings curtesy of grimsey87 posted in the Melb trade thread: "Update from my little matey Dees quickly lost interest in Stephenson. Apparently has next to zero professionalism. Was a phone call to Lewis Jetta but he's likely to retire if no new deal comes his way. Isaac Smith was offered a 3 year deal by us this time last year he very nearly accepted, more than likely he takes the deal this time. 3rd year apparently a playing coaching mix. Certainly looking for more leadership. Pruess keen on GWS move, which come as a bit of a shock to club as they thought he would go to Geelong or Hawks. Not a bad thing as sounds like there will be an easy deal. Hannan a bit unhappy he was in and out of the team, felt he played the role he was asked but in and out of the team sapped his confidence. More unlikely than likely to move. McDonald boys very highly rated internally as professional and coachable etc but everyone in agreeance on a move for Oscar might be best. Tom more keen to stay but will go if it's suitable. Dogs and Essendon most interested at this stage. Oliver is definitely taking calls from Carlton. MFC won't trade under any circumstances this year. I asked about salary cap space and apparently we paid closer to 100% this year but next year won't be as tight, I can only assume that refers to lever/may/hogan money but that's just my guess. Oh and don't expect any key forward moves. Brown is unlikely, the club has a serious [censored] for Jackson the key forward. They were full mast for him at draft time. But from what he's shown so far, he might be the most highly rated player on the list..."
