jumbo returns

The flaw is that spuds are commanding top dollar. What a joke.

Nuff said.

Taken #4 in the worst draft ever. No.

True, but we don't want to be seen as desperate and a laughing stock either....although the latter is probably the perception at the moment. This club has had a horrific 2012 and it'll take some time to convince others..but, not just ANY reject. I'd rather the FD give a go to some mature age from the VFL who has busted a gut to try and make it, not someone who's played 90 game in 8 years...

Goddard - best year 2010. Now is heavily tagged and cracks the shits. Bummers overpay. Pearce - soft outside mid who won't chase. Can't get a game with Port. Lynch - 29 yo that cannot win his own ball. Wellingham - has gone off since breaking Simpson's jaw, but can play. Homesick? Chaplin - oh dear Pedersen - who? Tippett - can play, but can go missing. Monfries - even the Bombers supporters hate him. Caddy - family issues but tough cookie. So, stuie, it's important that we don't overpay for those who are sitting back and waiting for overpriced offers. Goddard's gone, Tippett would be great, I've always liked Caddy, but the others you mentioned are very, very, ordinary players. I know you've named these players to make a point, but I think the FD is working with players we (or the press) know nothing about.

Melbourne will be lucky to attract any players this trading period....they are a basket case. BUT, 2014 will see a new respect for the club after a solid 2013. So many players will stand up and the professionalism of the coaching staff will make the club viable. I suggest we hold onto the chest and look at homesick GWS players down the path. There are too many NQRs at the moment and they're getting good coin for being very, very, ordinary for a long time.

Warnock #2 - Tigers collecting all the NQRs.....good work.

Don't despair - spud of the highest order. This free agency is the best thing that's happened to NQR since sliced bread. 96 games in 8 years??? No thanks!

On dribble M on Saturday arvo Damian Barrett said that Lynch will be at the Pies and Dawes will be 'shopped around' even though he doesn't want to leave.

Potentially, Dawes might be on the way out.

He was focussed too....no joking around there.

Green - bullseye Jordie - 7

Next.

Good. Knights is NQR and Chaplin is a Warnock clone. Time to move on. Look elsewhere.

We'll see what happens.....if Stef M stays, you and I will have to gnash our teeth and support the best we can.

Caddy believed to be wooed heavily by the Kangaroos.

How does it work if he's contracted? 50/50 and we throw in more? Can anyone enlighten please? Dawes had a great 2010 and I was all for chasing him hard, but this year he played like a paperweight....

Dees sniffing around Dawes again.

Didn't he resign?

I'm confused about this Knights fella chased by several clubs.....has done nothing in all those years, yet is sitting back waiting for coin? wtf?

Don't reckon we'll get Caddy, but I like your optimism. 9th or 10th would be a fantastic effort.

Oh, I just got it - is that Mr Kelly the archiTECT?

I hope so - I'm using reverse psychology on himself. I'd love to have him in the red and blue.

Wellingham will stay too. He'll stay for success and the brand.

Small forward you say.....hmmmm (rubs chin)
