Bring-Back-Powell

If we only get pick 38 ish for the Sylvia compo and Adelaide walk away, I see this as a big set back. Vince is exactly what we need. We can't go into next year with the same midfield less Sylvia. (Although here's hoping Michie is a handy in)

Not sure why the rumour thread turned into the Pederson thread but anyway. Pederson played a sterling game v GWS up there.

Contracted at Norf for next year I think.

Considering we put a D grader in Pederson on 3 years, I have no issue taking a punt on Michie for the same term.

He needs to tell the club of his intentions before next Friday, if he wants out, then we can trade him before he becomes a free agent in 12 months.

That's just embarrasing if Melbourne asked for that. Geelong wouldn't trade one of them let alone both.

That would've been a nice result for us if that came true.Monfries was good this year.

He and Garland for co-captaincy is my left-field prediction for next year.

I'd rather trade Frawley now rather than he leave next year for free agency and we get less compensation.

Just some bloke texting in a rumour

Sen rumour: Melbourne - in - Vince and Myers Out - pick 2 Essendon - in - pick 2 Out - Crameri, Myers, pick 22 Adelaide - in - pick 22 Out - Vince Bulldogs - in - Crameri Out - pick 22

Would still be a far better option than Byrnes as our small forward.

I acutally don't think pick 20 is overs for Vince, considering our circumstances and dire need of a midfielder. We got Dawes for pick 20 and he only delivered us 11 games with only 5 or 6 being satisfactory. You'd like to think Vince could surpass that next year, assuming injury free. A proven midfielder is more valuable than a second round draft pick IMO.

Anyone that's managed to kick 4 goals in a game is of interest to me.

Went to a function last night and spoke to a bloke who knows mfc board members. We are offering pick 2 for Shiel but GWS are playing hard ball. The good news is that the file isn't closed yet.

Where's the dislike button.Pick 2 far too much for a 28 year old.

Vince would automatically be our second best midfielder behind Jones. Beggars can't be choosers when you have the afl's worst midfield.

If a veteran of 1 game (Viv Michie) turns the MFC down despite being guaranteed 22 games because it has a 4th world midfield, the club may as well lock the doors for business and hand their licence back to the AFL.

I'll go for the best available VIC midfielder. Kelly, Freeman or Crouch. I don't want to recruit someone who is that desperate to play for Adelaide, and worry that he'll be on the first flight back once his contract expires.

Package both of them for a half eaten ham sandwich and a 6th round draft pick.

For us anyway. Why the hell would Sydney trade one of their best players in Hannabery? Doesn't make any sense.

Wasn't Adams put on a serious assault charge a couple of years ago. Wouldn't touch him with a 40 foot pole.

Not coming to VIC. Lock this, the Tom Rockliff and the Rory Sloane thread please.

With our 0/3 free agency record in terms of retaining players (Sylvia, Rivers and Moloney) you start to think if there is any player for the Dees that will resist free agency and stay loyal. Here is my take on our best and most talented players: Jones - The big one. Our best player in terms of performance and value. Up for restricted free agency in exactly 2 years time. Seems to show genuine passion, love and care if his B&F speeched are anything to go by. Grimes - I would think he and Viney would be the greatest hope of staying. Barracked for the Dees as a kid and is captain. How many captains have changed clubs recently? Trengove - I think likely. I get the impression the club means a lot to him Garland - Unknown. Seems to show genuine care for the club. Frawley - The other big one. Up for restricted free agency next year. Cannot afford to lose him. Says he bleeds 'red and blue'. Who knows? Viney - See Grimes. Toumpas - Too early but SA factor Clark - Shows genuine enthusiasm and love for the club via Twitter. Would a WA team be waiting for him in the next year or 2? Cannot go via free agency until 2019. Dawes - Unknown. I think he'd have aspirations for being captain or VC. McKenzie - Showed great loyaly by resisting an offer from Adelaide while on the MFC rookie list. However that was 4 years ago. Hogan - Way too early to discuss but will give us heart burn each time he nears out of contract status.

Agree but there is no honesty anymore in footy.
