Varcoe's best was as good as Dale Thomas best. Geelong have an embarrassment of riches in Motlop, Christensen, Stokes. Subject to medical clearance I'm keen. The main thing thing that would worry me is that Wells must rate Aish to do a deal.

If Varcoe is on the outer at the Cats I'd consider pick 2 for Varcoe and Horlin-Smith. We could do Myers for the Sylvia compo, Savage for Blease (maybe a 3 way) and Cross as DFA. That would boost our stocks and leave us with 2nd, 3rd and 4th round in tact.

Totally ludicrous over-valuing of our side of those deal

Olisik posted: Fitzy and pick 2 for Fyfe. Similair deal as the juddy one without visy involved. You replied: No, no, no That is way over the top. Fyfe isn't that good. Fitzy will be better than any of them, and be a gun in the midfield - mark my words.

at both clubs, MFC when he arrives and Carlton when he leaves.

mate, on one thread you're posting facebook rumours and on another you're rubbishing them and calling people flogs

A poster here said (multiple times) he failed their medical - apparently not?

I'd put a lucrative extension offer to him right now - 5 years at $700K/year and try to get him signed up. GWS will be offering him $1M/year for 2015 right now. The only solace I get is that if he did leave as a FA we'd probably get band 1 which is still likley to be a top 5 pick next year which is about his trade value anyway.

Will get a massive FA offer from GWS next year

wow, interesting, thanks for the updates, I couldn't get on.

I expect we won't be able to magic up a suitable deal for pick 2 - it needs to be youngish class midfielder with a very strong go home factor that we can attract ahead of other more successful clubs by paying double. Normally I'd this that's too much of a long shot - but the arrival of Clark, Hogan, Viney in the 2nd round, Dawes and Roos in the past 2 years gives me a glimmer of unreasonable hope.

Fitzy better midfielder than Fyfe and Judd - that will take some topping for POTY.

Far LESS likely if Buddy does go to Sydney. GWS will take Boyd.

2 + Couch for Rockliff + 6 + Brown + Docherty?

Maybe they'll throw in Jonathon Brown too!

Miracle #1 is he is MFC coach.

Agree, Dusty's best chance is at Richmond.

Demetriou has done a terrific job as CEO of the AFL and overall has helped the MFC. Negotiated a series of ever-increasing media deals over the years. Has taken the hard long-term decisions introducing GC and GWS into the competition - yes there is pain now in his time for gain over the long term. More fans, more members and a generally more even competition with close exciting finals series and GFs and a variety of premiership winners from all over Australia. He didn't start the tanking investigation but he wrapped up a messy power-play created by Adrian Anderson and where is he now? AD handled the extremely difficult Essendon saga well overall - and that is not a problem of his making. I'm sure the AFL would re-draft the GC and GWS slightly differently if they had the opportunity of hind-sight, e.g a low end age limit on the free agents they could draft and mini-draft picks must be traded for player, but overall the compensation we received for Scully has left us in a better position IMO. So it's down to the state of the Olympic stadium surface over his reign? It is time for AD to move on IMO but he'll do so with a very successful legacy.

Not sure - but I see Hyundai Ad because I've been searching for a new car.

Recruiting thru the Neeld era was generally very positive - Clark, Dawes and Viney in the 2nd round.The whole Pedersen, Rodan, Byrnes, Gillies angst is overblown.

Umpiring mistake resulting in Freo win - hard to top that really.

Posted elsewhere. Hawks by 18 points - Freo won't be able to lock them down all day and they'll have the momentum for some period(s). They'll need to kick goals though - which I think they will - if they continue to miss from set shots like they have been then they'll lose. I hope Freo win though - Kennett, Dermott, Dipper, Buckenara, Newbold etc - they're easy to hate.

"my mates sisters best friend is the girlfriend" What more do you want?

Yes I've seen that requirement but how does that work in practice? He's had ample time to destroy any documentation and how do the authorities know they've got it all anyway, he's also had ample time to put it somewhere out of their reach and their knowledge. Surprise midnight seizure of computers and filing cabinets is all very well if it's a surprise.
