Cheap Seats

The lions dont want Dunn. They will get Frost for basically free. They're not a retirement home.they just want a big body to suppoet their developing talls And even if the lions do want Dunn, they wont gove pick 30 for a bloke who hasn't played afl all year

Non Dees related but a non the less embarrassing record. Are the Tigers on track to beat our 186 at the cattery?

I like you're line of thinking 55. Is there a chance though that some of those players would find other positions. VandenBerg comes to mind as one who is a mid but is forced to play hff. I wonder if others like harmes and salem as an example would be forced to.move positions. I think Roos and Goody are massive on players who can play multiple positions. But in saying that it might be a reality that we have to trade some.of our young brigade (which i dont like.at first glance) to bring in experience to be able to tke the next step

Not suggesting u approve this trade AAC but any suggestion Salem is tradeable would be nothing less then a top 10 pick... especially if we want to recoup our investment in him. Salem is 21 and a top 10 pick I hope Essendon play hardball like Carlisle in 2015 and mess this up and he walks. Dont cave on this Dees. There are surely enough issues at play here to not be bullied in to trading with Essenscum. He's been out of the game for 12 months, age, demanded to leave, Injection regime, the fact that Xavier Campbell said he (essenscum) wouldn't stand in any players way who wanted to leave, have to be all.mitigating factors in any trade Mitch Clark as an example was a straight swap. Love the hypocrisy in essendon saying they want like for like, they have no choice/say if a player chooses to leave. Tell Essendon they're dreaming and move on

Agree The MFC wont disappear if he leaves but if we want to be a serious team who plays dewp in to September. Hes our no 1 priority

Don't ruin my entertainment with your lodgic

Haha gravity. It's perfect

Mids Mids Mids for me We have Hogan, Dawes, Pederson, TMac, OMac, Gawn, Spencer, Frost who can all pinch hit as big forwards Lets win the ball and move the ball consistently before we worry too much about the lack of quality talls I haven't even discussed our poor history of drafting talls or Roos's preference to go with young ready made players early in the draft. I like the sound of Hopper??? I think that's his name but in saying that I know nothing about the young lads

Yep i am disappointed with this as well. Nothing to loose your pants over but cleary we caved

Made me giggle... thought id post the appreciation No a graders as we'd hope for (hopefully yet) but handy additions in their own right... Well time will tell... Surely an upgrade on a few we have now though

Thanks Generation D Love a drunken update or 2 Make sure you get the Demon boys ears and find out what you can find....

In a supposedly weak draft a 3rd rounder wouldn't be giving up too much. In saying that who knows what value we'd get out of it with wada hanging over him and ability. I'll trust the clubs judgement on this one... but its very very risky imo

Sounds like he'll fit in well then

Love the jet How did his grab on the weekend not get in marks of the week? (Well not on the footy shows I saw)

No agree. I was more referring to his overall games, but points noted as I saw the same thing by the sound of it. At crucial times when the pies were coming I thought he kept making costly mistakes. As I said I hope he plays the remaining games and gets it right but my opinion is no he won't.

Due to our lack of depth and experience I hope we keep them all. Even though I do think they all have limitations as players. if we can keep building with these 3 as role players I think we will be on the right track. But it's really up to Howe and Col about what they want

Also Im prepared to cop the hate on this one But I don't reckon Jack Grimes is up to it - would trade/delist Again just my opinion. And in reality I'd keep him on the list for his experience and leadership until the young brigade take over. I hope he plays in the seniors for the rest of the year and proves me wrong, but his disposal is iffy and he is too slow and just gives up the ball. Take the tackle and get pinged don't just cough up the pill fffs Anyway as I said my 2 cents

I rekon Chris Yarran should be a target Got some great assets and I reckon he is gettable from Carlton. His run off half back would be great at the Dees, something we really lack. Anyway just my opinion no 'sources'

Like t Mac - we need some quality ball users down back to support him... I'd lock t Mac for 3-5 yrs

NA - name me our outside mids then let me know who of them deserves to play ahead of Toump (whos only played 10 games?) who is only 18? C'mon mate real world - the MFC are full of soft blokes who don't support the club and play for themselves - Compare Sylvias game to Toumpas for a start - then ask yourself as a young bloke how'd you go in this side?

Fair enough i respect your entitled to you opinion in this thread My simple point is there are others who deserve the criticism rather then toump

It is a worry how Toump plays at the moment - there is no confidence in his game at all - it was higlighted in the 2nd qtr??? when he was clear inside 50 and had two options (kick goal or pass to spencer) and fuked it up... It is also a worry that people can write off a 1st year player that has had zero support in the midfield as well. N Jones and Viney is all he had today. Put Toup in a good side and he will flourish. The problem with the MFC is there is no leadership and [censored] poor standards How about judging a bloke like Sylvia whos been in the system 10 years and I saw more of Toup then I did of Sylvia and I'd back Toump had a greater impact then the 10 year hero Sylvia (that should be saying something)

I'll take what you say on Face Value GNF - the club is falling apart - lets talk about some Footy issues that is J Watts Lets say Watts comes back after Queens Birthday - i think we play the dogs??? From the last 10ish rounds what is reasonable expectaion of Watt's output so WE the MFC want to offer him another contract? When is Jack Watts expected to deliver consistent performances? And let's not forget that Watts isn't being asked to carry the load or expectations of a CHB or CHF he is playing as a 3rd up tall across half back where blokes like Dermie would argue if you can't get a kick across half back you ain't much chop as a player

Fair enough I was in the Southern stand and outnumbered 5 - 1 ratio and there were plenty of Bombers wankers clapping Watts when he went off - Seemed like an over reaction to what was a bronx cheer... Anyway continue your sky is falling debate

Sorry Jaded do you seriously believe that? I was at that Game and i'd say apart from a few MFC people the majority were Essendon wankers that were cheering [censored] they are wankers Bombers supporters..........I hate Essendon with a passion So my question to you is......... Were you there did you see mass of MFC fans cheering or are you believing what you heard in the media?
