It just happened that way I guess.

Let's see then, Valenti is a cheap VFL level player but he has fitness and although he is limited he is a good citizen that wins the good citizen trophies. Ball is an expensive and like Valenti now a one dimensional and limited midfielder who is on the decline. Also bringing him in will cause a shift in culture at MFC, potentially shafting the likes Moloney and Aaron Davey. Better to spread the money he gets to pay the young Demon players coming up when their market value increases and keep what you are building. If Luke Ball goes to Melbourne he doesn't want to be there and remember his greatest lover aside from you is Grant Thomas.

I'm sure you will ensure that Bartram gets delisted given your standing within MFC.

Riloi -yes he was outside the square all the draftees have to be good little boys-antisocial, poor fitness and work ethic meant no one other than Hawthorn would touch him. Same with Buddy Franklin. You are a critic of CAC and your influence was instrumental in him leaving and you are a fan of Caro's work. It's in the Caro topic some time ago.

No, not interested in Luke Ball like you are. The Red and Blue Foundation you seem to have taken over should invest in like a blood transfusion unit and a massive stapler/stiches machine if he comes to Melbourne given the amount of times he gets cut. Is it because of courage or because he is slow? I don't think he has the Kosi 'no pheriperal vision' but as a player he has no penetration and does not carry the ball in the way required by a modern midfielder. He cannot be a tagger nor kick goals so he gets by on reputation. His body is crocked and his biggest fan aside from you is Grant Thomas. For bang for buck Valenti was a better option cause he's much cheaper.

But they thought outside the square as you know -recruiting Dew and Rioli. As CAC's biggest critic and a Caro lover please detail your draft wish list.

You got this method reading the book The Draft and hence you are taking a Hawthorn type approach to recruiting and trying to make it your own.

Hoopla, you clearly have it in for Barts which is fair enough. Who is your source on this information, it seems to me that you are fast becoming a power broker within the MFC. I hear that you are also responsible for Sylvia's turnaround in form and attitude and that you were instrumental in keeping Jamar away from Port Adelaide. It is probably you that got Barts one year vs two.

Hoopla, have you even been to the Casey ground and seen the facilities there? Why are you being such a "septic"? MFC is on the way up and they may even get Luke Ball to play for them! You should lighten up and maybe look for a place on the Board.

Hoopla -you should be running the club.

Correct! Wasn't the number 48 good enough for Liam Jurrah?

So Hoopla it seems that the Red and Blue Foundation doesn't actually reduce the clubs debt but provides equipment to the players. At least all the funds donated to the RBF actually go to the club and not a percentage going to other sources like what happens in some other not for profits/foundations.

Anyone bar Kepler Bradley!

Hoopla, give up on Slyvia -even Hutchy says that he is a goner at Melbourne. I know Colin is breaking your heart, let it go and let him play second/third tier football where he can get away with his poor attitude, OP and empty tank. At AFL level he can't get away with those things.

It is nice, face the facts with Colin you get his lingering OP, if he had any football smarts and real steel mentally maybe he could play. Why continue to back him when he's not going to overcome this. There are too many if only's with him -maybe he should go see the Wizard of Oz for a brain, a heart and some courage.

Hoopla -Colin has no tank, he has no football smarts and lacks heart. He would be an excellent VFL/SANFL player but he doesn't have the goods to deliver at AFL level. Colin should be aloud to go out late at night as he'd end up falling asleep at a reasonable hour anyway no matter where he was out at. Judd and Luke Ball can play at a level with OP type issues, Colin will always have whatever lingers with his OP so get over it.

He probably fell asleep at the Strippers again. Col has no tank either on the field or off it.

Hoopla -you just have it in for Craig Cameron as he did not draft you.

Hoopla you know heaps about football so I'm sure you can reply to Rhino -just don't let your dislike of the Russian cloud your post. Spida Everitt is not a realistic option and Nik Nat will prove to be a headless chook -no football nous.

That's great news! I know a lot of Ds Supporters that are so happy at that one -one of them is very influential on the forums and I wished this would happen. Does that mean Spencer gets promoted off the Rookie list then? :D
