The amount of trades that have actually been completed in the last couple of years is testament to your post. Clubs like to develop their own players!!!
It was farcical how he didn't make the Dream Team in the Hall of Fame match. There was one instance in the game today where it seemed Nathan Brown was going to pick up the ball with ease. In comes Green from the side, head over the ball and just grabs it from no where creating a stoppage and stopping a certeian goal. That's what I call leadership.
I agree. If he was at any other AFL club he'd be developing in the VFL. Unfortunately we don't have that luxury and are subseuqently forced to play in with the big dawgs.
Remember he is a project player and will take time.
With the exception of Garland there is no one else on the list whose career I am more excited about.
With out a doubt. The man bleeds for the club.

Guy Jalland works for and is very close to the Murdoch's and Packers.
A long time ago both of these families were #1 ticket holders of Melbourne.
Think his inclusion on the board is pretty obvious.
He has been dissapointing but played quite an impressive game on Monday. Clearly has the abillity to shut down a player i.e. hel Dane Swan to 4 posessions for the first half but needs to add another bow to his strings the obivous one getting more of the ball himself. With the injury to Beamer he really should be consolidating his spot in the midfield .
2 weeks in the VFL and then we should be letting him loose in the AFL. The young man lives and breathes Melbourne. Seriously it would not surprise me if he used to have a user account on demonland.com
AFL.com.au just confirmed it.
Really is such a shame. Beamer whilst starting the season like a headless chook was really coming into some good form and showing plenty of leadership.
It is his 2nd year. Funny how the likes of other KPP players from that draft who have had the luxiry of beign groomed through the VFL e.g. Lachlan Hanse, Ben Reid and Mitch Thorp don't come under as much scrutiny as young Frawley. He will take time but the talent is there.
I'm surprised James Frawley hasn't be added to this list. He will be a super player for the MFC and possibly the next Darren Glass. We have a great backline devloping.
