Mark Robinson tweeted that he hopes we aren't paying him too much... What does it matter when we had a $600k offer knocked back by a certain someone a few weeks ago. Gotta pay someone. I'm glad it is a 200cm athletic CHF/Ruck who has a great leap.

Touché. I must say I am a little taken aback by this. The Melbourne FC twitter feed has just announced he has agreed to a four year deal. So the options are down to: hacking of our twitter feed, or the club actually landed a player they were going after.

Effing cruel for all involved if it is... Footy is so stupid sometimes. What the hell is happenning?!

I put up with 08 and 09 because of the lure of a flag due to the talent accumulated. I hate finishing 6th and not having a chance of winning the whole thing. You are easily pleased.

Ends on Monday.

Yes, and this is what I meant too. Others will say that $5m debt is basketcase worthy but we were an onfield basketcase at times this year and that is the most visible aspect of a club. Getting that right makes a huge difference to how people perceive the club. Which is why I am thoroughly concerned by our senior players as they are the ones that drive onfield performance. Get me Kane Cornes, Scott Thompson, or another couple of leaders, before Monday...

I understand the frustration that fans feel when we cannot attract players, but not long ago we were a basketcase. It's a steep climb. We have been able to attract off-field names and that is promising, but we are still wading through the inertia that comes from being as poor as we have been. As for Clark, he wants to go home.

Don't think Judd will let it happen.

I don't care about trades for Warnock or Maric - I don't think there is any value out there. People are welcome to disagree. So if the Calrk deal doesn't come through I would jettison those two. I would get Wonna to be a rookie. That would make three. I would then keep the rest and trade Pick 12 to Freo for Picks 16 and 20, or a Suban, Ibbotson or Duffield.

That's the spirit!

And that is what we will do.

Yes, two posts of mine have pointed out an overuse of punctuation... Sue me. And my point if you give a flying, Robbie - is that I don't care how Denham/Smith/Robinson/Sheahan perceive the club. I care about particular problems and issues. I relaise perception is important as I said and you ignored earlier - PR is important, I just don't give a fig about it. And 'lethargy of supporters'?! Get of your self-righteous high horse or let me stay on mine, you can't have both.

Addam is out of contract I believe.

So my posts have no point and I just 'tow the line' of the MFC... lol Why, if you feel this, do you care what I think? Oh, and I think you misread an earlier post in this thread where I think you made the leap that I don't care about any problems people think we have. What I said was I don't care about perceptions, I care about fixing any issues that have arisen. I am not this 'brainwashed, unquestioning, overpositive evil' that you seem intent on calling out on Demonland every few weeks...

We have two comp picks we can use next year. Mid frst round (Pick 11ish) and an 'immediately after first pick' (Pick 13ish).

Happy to. If it is eloquent and coherent enough to be useful. Epithets and vague indignations are rarely useful.

Had a great 2011 against poor teams. Obviously a leader. Hope he can have a consistent 2012 against all teams.

I said I don't care. I hate PR but I know it's important - if he has another go I would do an Eddie and call up and challenge the bloke.

A club without a coach shouldn't be making such a big decision as trading for Fev. It might just be an inquiry, and if it is, it could be anyone. I really doubt it is us.

I don't think he will come to Melbourne either. I think Brisbane will agree to a compromise with Fremantle. But does that mean that we shouldn't ask the question and give the offer? Of course, it doesn't. If you don't ask, you won't recieve. And if it means we miss out on a Lisle or a Walsh then that is one of the pitfalls of trade week - there are 17 other clubs out there trying to get ahead of their 17 competitors. And I have a feeling that a decision will be made with enough time left in trade week.

I don't care about perceptions but we should push back on this sort of BS. "Stands for nothing" is just the call of the lazy critic who doesn't know what he doesn't like but knows he doesn't like it.

What a pathetic attitude. We may not sign him, but to say we shouldn't even try is pure syndrome.

Oh noes... We could miss out on a worse player by trying to sign the better player?! What are we doing?!

We are. And isn't it a roaring success...
