the fork

If they know nothing then this completely debunks the rumour right? Sorry to have to ask but I have two kids who aren't sleeping well at the moment...

I love this if it happens. He will bring much on and off-field and the belief his defection will bring to the back of our players minds will serve them well.

Early on there were mentions of us showing interest in Tom Cutler from Brisbane. No noise on this of late. Anyone have any insights?

The same old stupid cliche is bashed out year after year by people who nothing beyond their own backyards. Currently a stunning cool day in Alice with a chance of a shower later.

As a local myself I'd normally be there but working west of Alice today. Raining out here, rain almost always heads west, might be a wet second half?

Small issue which has been playing on my mind a bit: Does anyone else notice how Hogan-centric Harmes is? I know these guys are good mates and James is obviously trying to build a on-field rapport with our No.1 key forward, but Harmes will seemingly kick to Hogan at all costs, sometimes to the detriment of our forward flow and scoring. I think its obvious to the point of predictable. Just interested to hear if anyone else has noticed this?

Hunt Salem Kent Can't believe they are not listed as options above!

The suggestion that our interest in and decision to select a particular player in the National Draft being dictated by another club is absurd in the extreme. Let me ask you this, what plans have Melbourne made for other clubs to select which players?

CONFIRMED: Tomas Bugg and Pick 7 go to the Dees Dees lose: Picks 10, 43 and 64! Hot diggity dog!

Seriously Tiger, don't know if you've had it broken to you from others on here or in your personal life but you are an absolute bore. Had we drafted any one of the 'top 10 draft picks' you mentioned above I have no doubt you'd be on here droning on about it. Simple question: Would you have preferred if we had drafted Sumner, Plowman, Lamb and Philips?

People have a little faith. We are not the same club we once were. WE ARE MELBOURNE!

Probably something H-H threw up...

Sounding quite desperate there H_T...

If you weren't all so desperate you'd realise that Nudge is not referring to this trade period but the future. Soon for you blokes in the life of a rebuild in next Wednesday, the 'soon' that Nudge refers to is within the coming years.

Couldn't agree more on the negativity, unbearable at times. People on this board thrive on the old 'woe is me, I barrack for Melbourne' thing and its PATHETIC! People suggesting Josh Mahoney needs to grow 'some' need to grow 'some' themselves. Back you club in, I know we've done it before with awful, long resounding consequences, but what are you gonna do, stop backing them in and whine about it?

Dee's still right into Bastinac http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-13/trade-wrap-yarran-stalemate-high-price-on-hawk-kanga-in-demand Anyone know anything about his teammate Brad McKenzie apart from the following: Fellow Roo midfielder Brad McKenzie has also attracted some interest from rival clubs. Unlike Bastinac, the 22-year-old South Australian is uncontracted and after playing just one senior game this season in round 23 when nine senior Roos were rested.

Dee's and Pies still a way off agreeing on Kennedy's value http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-13/trade-wrap-yarran-stalemate-high-price-on-hawk-kanga-in-demand

Manager confirms that GC is one of the teams. Two Melbourne clubs also interested. He is gone with a capital G. Lock it in folks. Decision by mid next week, Manager conforms he is MORE LIKELY TO GO. and there it is...

Three clubs and Melbourne interested in Howe. In Bali now making his decision, Manager suggesting that he had to wait until one of the teams finished finals (recently) to be able to speak to the coach.

Love you Chook! Can you confirm our interest in Dixon also?

I hear that carlton are into Tomlinson, surely we could do worse then him up forward?

Chris did mean Kennedy, I didn't think Freeman was named... just checking.

Did anyone hear Plough's mini review?

Thanks for some quality posting on a bloke who apparently is an absolute ripper. Your contribution on here is (as I'm sure it is elsewhere) is greatly appreciated.

hope this doesn't come back to bite us... Thanks for posting, is it just me or if their wall hard to get around at the moment?
