Sounds like you're taking GC for granted? I don't think we 'should' beat the Suns this week. Its an absolute 50/50 game played at a venue where the Suns obviously play their best footy at. i think it would be a fantastic win to beat the Suns on the road.

I assume you've made that up but it will probably be the outcome in the end. As I've stated earlier, we must avoid drafting interstate players at all costs. Unless we're Hawthorn or North (who have an impeccable retention record) it's going to end in tears.

If Hogan wants to return, you'd assume he'll request a trade at the end of the year. Why would he waste his time and ours, playing an entire season (2017) when you have no desire of being there. Having said that I'd rather he see out his contract as Weideman wouldn't be ready to take over the reigns in his second year.

Langdon's got good mail. He was the one that dropped the Worsfold to Essendon bomb-shell before anyone else.

If this is true, we are to never EVER again recruit a top 20 draft pick who resides outside of Victoria. We are too inept a club to retain talent.

That's awesome news if true. Perhaps a 4 year extension that would take him to free agency eligibility??

No you're right, freo would never trade Fyfe but I reckon the future value of Hogan = current value of Fyfe. Therefore melb should be compensated with the equivalent value of Fyfe, eg - top 6 freo player and a first rd draft pick

If Hogan requests a trade to Freo, I'd be expecting Nat Fyfe or something of the equivalent value in return. We're talking about a once in a generation key forward that's already kicked 42 goals and top 5 in contested marks in his first year. Sounds like the next 12 months are going to be critical with regards to Hogans future. I reckon we're in trouble if he hadn't re-signed by round 1 next year.

Nar I think you'll find Toumpas was the sub in round 1 vs GC. I remember he came on for Kent as the concussion sub and he was an absolute disaster area. Was temporarily subbed out after Kent was deemed ok. Then was eventually re-subbed in for good and was even more of a nervous wreck.

Nar we'd need Sydney to throw in some steak knives to get that one done.

The point I was making is that you don't hear st Kilda or hawthorn fans sooking about Carlisle's possible suspension but us Melbourne supporters are carrying on like pork chops regards Melksham's possible suspension.

Close

For anyone that thinks he's a dud, go and YouTube the highlights of the Essendon v Carlton game of Rd 11 2013 and check out who kicks the clutch winning goal with 1:30 left. Also everyone's stressing about Melksham's possible suspension, but nobody has ever posed the same concerns about Carlisle, who was likely part of the 34.

I reckon he'll extend for a further 4 years to take him up to 8 years and free agency.

I thought North were tremendous in winning 2 finals.They're 4-2 in finals over the last 2 years which is a good record in anyone's language. I hate North as much as the next Melbourne supporter but credit where credit is due - finals wins are hard to get.

We were rumoured to be interested in Varcoe before everyone here laughed the it off.

I was doing cart wheels when we got Vince for pick 23 because I knew it was essentially a straight swap of Sylvia for Vince

In other news, Essendon are trying to sell Courtney Dempsey to Melbourne for Angus Brayshaw as well as a late MFC draft pick as a sweetener.

Watts for Melksham straight swap? No exchange of picks, no steak knives, nothing , just a straight swap.

I've got another streak: We haven't won at Etihad as an away team since round 12 2006, vs Essendon.

I certainly did. The amount of heartbreaking losses we've had at that joint....

If win round 1 next year does that mean the 2 in a row hoodoo is gone?

Moore would just be another Michie or Newton recruit, an average player who is clearly not best 22. Port supporters can't stand him as a player.

Oh well at least I got point 3 right. Still can't beat the Nick Reiwoldt football club.....

Lucky he was brought back for that round 23 game against the Doggies, 2 years ago at Etihad. Played well in defense and obviously caught the eye of Roos at the time.
