  1. If Judd opens it up to 2 clubs.. then we will beat Collingwood
  2. Trapper...Pace... Trapper...Pace.. ... they talking about our TJ ??? lol.. Clever he is. .masterful at times.. but quick ? Maybe just me never would have put speed as his primary assett
  3. Its fair to say that none of us have been in a room with Bailey ,Connolly CAC , Gardner and Harris ( let alone the others ) London to a brick there's a new Spirit at MFC !!
  4. Its quite amusing to see all the puffing and posturing by everyone surrounding the Judd situation. id be intrigued to know what point of law could actually be leveled re restaint of trade as any person/s is/are entitled to the best result obtainable. Why would Judd be obliged to settelfor anything less than he' can simply to appease aclub or agent.. Again I think its THEY who are threatened. They can see the whole basis of "ownership" of players slipping from their grasp. Connors is correct. Free agency wil come., and it may well be the stuffing around surrounding Judd this year that brings it to bear. Might things get very messy and exhaust time constraints...very likely and possible. Is it Judds fault ? No !! They..the various parties are acting as if they really have some sort of control over it all; again I profer that they dont. They darent let this "reality" become too REAL !! Other wise their gambit falls to dust. Everyone wants a result that best suits them. WCE are trying to realise equity on somethoing they dont own or control. Agents are concerned that deals wont go through in time minimising their returns. The league is probably in hiding with head in sand as usual. Apart from any interest as a Meblourne supporter thinking it might be a tad more than Ok should Judd choose us ( though he stil lwont be the be all and end all many suppose ) I find the whole thing very entertaining and amusing. Irrespective of the player result one thig is for sure. This is the last year that players, clubs, and trades are done by these rules and guidelines.. It will all change nex year
  5. we're flying under the radar...lets stay that way :D its generally accepted that Judd revered both Lyon and Stynes..
  6. Eagles are scratching deperately for a plan Z.. There are two sides to the coin of Juddy coming home. One is ..simply he wants to come home to family and friends Second.. he's had a gut full of the Eagles [censored] He's not playing in blue and yellow again.
  7. Lyon was just on the panel that helped select the new coach..not involved ?? Stynes is an ace up our sleeve. Personally I would have been annoyed had they NOT been there
  8. I disagree. Stevens isnt Judds bootlaces. if Collingowod had had got their act together , Stevens would be in black and white today.. It was an ugly example of moving clubs. This is as transparent as it possibly could be. Its not last minute. Everything wil be in place BEFORE trade week even starts officially. I understand what youre saying.. but Judd id going where Judd wants to go.. WCE can just suck it in!!
  9. Once Judd picks his team of preference its reaaly nothing to do with him. Forr mine....many misrepresentations of influence and power have been put out there and simply accepted as 'read" Firstly. WCE has NO say in where he goes. A t best they can operate in a reactive manner.. Its not as if Judd is going to ask ..."is it Ok if I go here...or there !!". Secondly. WCE can jump up and down and ask for this or that. Its irrelevant. They will dealwith what ever cards are available , they cant invent them. Ive mentioned this before but the Eagles are playing a very clever game of bluff. On the one hand Judd is going all in..on the other they are holding NOTHING. Judd may of course ideally want to see WCE not come off too poorly ( else it may reflect on him also...dont forget that), but if Judd was really concerned about the Eagles he wouldt be leaving; to me all thats just moot. Keep in mind.. when it comes down to the argy bargy..WCE arent driving this. If they balls it up...they get NOTHING !! All I read is WCE want this...or that..they want want want...But its really about what they Get get get !!
  10. Possibly..but it will only be Melbourne people doing that... I just am surprised there are sufficinet to cause that effect for that reason on the odds.
  11. It is rather interesting isnt it. The carlton money you can understand as they simply think its done and dusted. Collingwood simply have weight of numbers , they also have blinkered self belief. And then to us...we're the enigma...youd almost have to say our odds are purely representative of our chances..not so much the money wagered...and yet bookies take note of the bets and adjust. Makes you wonder doesnt it
  12. If we get him...great If we dont...life goes on.. thats all there really is to it..
  13. I personally am of the view that these types of 'intangibles" rate highly on Judds list. Why move to Melboutrne at all if not for the quality of life family and friends offers.
  14. take a deep breath.. it was a little bit tongue in cheek I dare say !!
  15. Out of all that you chose the "barracking" as the 'distortion" ..lol !!! Thought it a rather inventive take on the whole thing. Im with you Pants.. its a lay down misere !!! well..almost.. psossibly.... maybe.. if we're really really really lucky !!
  16. actually my kids were born out of wedlock...lol.. but agree with the other things!! lol
  17. lets just see who's in the actual list !!
  18. I must have taken some good sicky pills as Im not too worried. Today finally Bailey , Connolly and who ever is aboard the welcome bus get to " do the business" ... I must admit .., irrespective of Judd today , im quite excited about the possibilities that can come out of an enthusiastic and focussed footy dept.. Bailey outsold the master of selling...Sheeds !! Connolly impressed despite many of our mispgivings . The new Melbourne way of going about things seems to be.. Set a clear goal, egt the resources, assemble the right people and provide the professional infrastructure to move forward.. Lets be honest...when was the last time we ever had the idea that this IS the way of the MFC.. Its all been bouncing from pillar to post in the recent past. No more Chris Judd is a man who knows his stuff. He has clear and defined personal goals together with it would seem a map to his future and those immediately in that journey. He is no doubt a man impressed by clarity of vision and the excitement of possibilities. That would be exactly how I describe the MFC at the moment. We arent there ( yet ). But we're at the starting line.. or indeed just left it now Judd I doubt will be not overly impressed by simple riches alone.. god knows there's enough in Perth ( anyone who's visited Millionaires mil will attest ). Here's a man who has 'purpose' as his mantra. He seizes opportunites that fit with his purposes. All that is to wonder is exactly what that is. If the welcome wagon can envelope him in our flavour of purpose and outcomes then I seriously beleive we are as good a chance as anyone. If anything ours almost has a purity about it. "To resotre the pride and position of a once great club". Its not about the dollars so much with us..its pride. Judd obviously prides himslef on being his own man. I really dont think Tinsel town methods will win him over. it wil require convincing him of purpose. Thats precisely how Bailey won the job. Might be precisely how Bailey wins the man. Today is good Go Demons !!!
  19. He really knows how to keep a secret doesnt he !! hehehe Must be hard in that environment.. kudos to the guy
  20. Back in 1964 .. a premiership Capt left our team.. we've languished ever since 43 years later 4=3 =7 in 07 A Premiership Capt walks into our camp again... to reverse the hoodoo !! ( hey I'l grab at any straw if it'll work!!! lol )
  21. they dont even cop it when they're not !! We were in semis last year and we're still looked upon always as improbable imposters
  22. This all goes way back to discussions here and old board about the need for the club to promote the club....not in some namby pamby ...nicey nicey way... but with real teeth.. something...strong.. ...almost a little 'dark'.( tongue in cheek fashion ) ...something DEMONIC !! Some real fire and brimstone stuff.. Something has to be said / done so people know.....Not to mess with us.....we're DEMONS !!
