I don't mind that but it's paying overs and there would be little chance he would come to us. Very good player but not worth that much as of yet

Tipping not Ralph Carr unless he got the coin he was after.

There we go which suggests they will announce it tonight at the best and fairest as I suggested

He would but he won't leave Essendon now. plus they still couldn't afford him. Gone into debt for their new training facility and still need to pay the AFL's fine. Losing Crameri and Zaharakis would help but I don't think Zaharakis will leave.

Anyone confirm this ? No way Essendon could afford him and they have nothing to trade to Richmond.

I think we can forget about Dustin Martin I believe his resigning will be announced at the Richmond Best and Fairest this evening

I for one aren't as concerned about his size or lack of it. I'm sure that the club will be looking into his shoulder issues if he has any and will have a better weights program than the previous few years. I am sure the club have learnt from previous mistakes in Gysberts and Morton. In saying that I don't believe we will still be in possession of pick 2 come draft time.

I am so over this Ollie Wines V Toumpas crap. I can almost guarantee that Wines would have been copping flack from our supporters for being too much like Nathan Jones and we needed an outside player who has skills blah blah blah ... With Viney and Jones leading the way in the middle and a pre season under his belt Toumpas will show us his elite skills in due course. Now of that I am sure. I have a lot of faith in him and I believe he will develop into possibly our best ball user in time.

So just how many games of AFL have you played ?? You try coming into your first year of AFL with no pre season and playing in a team like Melbourne. I'm not saying he was the toughest out there but he sure did have plenty of mates. I'm sure you will be eating those words when after a full pre season he gets his confidence and zip back and uses his elite kicking to good effect.

Fitzpatrick by the length of the MCG. I would suggest at least 70% of people on here said there was no way that he would make it. Spud Useless Etc and yet he comes into the team and really gave us some structure up forward and snagged a few goals. Very impressed with him this year and look forward to seeing what he is capable of in 2014.

My money is on him going to Collingwood.. Buddy to GWS and Dale Thomas to Carlton leaves Collingwood or Melbourne as the only clubs with the money but he won't go to Melbourne due to our lack of success

Pardon my ignorance if this has been raised but what about Billy Longer? Ruckman who has had 2/3 years in the system and is looking to come home. Looks accomplished as a player and is still very young. Just wondering people's thoughts on this

Basically confirmed he's staying a demon Good news in my book, another win for Roos Now to get Colin signed up.

I truly believe he had op or something similar last season. If any of you had the chance to see him after a game he could barely walk limped like an old man with a busted hip.

If memory serves me correct he was injured this year posterior cruciate in the pre season ?

He played three games this year for a total of 13 .. Am I the only one who thought we were after established mids ?

Melbourne Football Club ... The Journey Starts Now

Either a man in a suit or someone who is built large .. Jesse Hogan maybe ? Or do I get the feeling it is on hold until a certain man who lives in Sydney makes up his mind.

Almost positive he will join us. If he didn't want it he would just come out and say it. 2 points ... Wants the MFC B&F to be about the previous year (Good idea I think, Who wants to start their term whilst everyone is remembering the horror of this year) Also could it be that he is still sounding out assistants and may have an announcement of him and his assistants on the same day ?

Played against Mav in Tassie when he was just 14 in the seniors Can definitely play I also raised this point a while ago and now that he will cost us nothing I say we go for it Tough midfielder and can play

Another horrible year draws to a close On today's match four damning stats Free kicks WB 23 - 16 Mel Clearances WB 47 - 29 Mel Disposals WB 403 - 295 Mel Contested Poss WB 148 - 103 Mel Free kicks are umpires just being dogs but a few were paid because they were in there harder Clearances and disposals are areas we are continually smashed in If/When Paul Roos takes the job we will become better at this as all of his teams that he has coached have been contested ball beasts and I believe he can attract the right calibre of player to take us forward as a midfield and as a whole.

What a surprise we scrap and get a goal again and these tossers kick another one from a centre clearance

Hopefully his last match with this club has offered us nothing for years Toumpas worked hard when Rob Murphy sprinted off down the ground when Griffen had the free and he busted a gut to follow him all the way down

I said this would happen [censored] typical [censored] no midfield costs us and they continually have three or four numbers to our one. No wonder they have kicked 7 this quarter

Neil Craig it's your last match please go down and smash your whiteboard over the heads of the moronic umpires who have bent us over and repeatedly raped us HARD
