Same as Brent Prismall. A lot here were pretty unhappy when he wouldn't come to the Dees

Any tragics out there still trying to defend our defenders? Coll took 7 marks in their fwd 50 in the first quarter. Cox and Grundy smashed us.

Oops sorry..a posting problem!

He's better than both of those...

The managers get relatively little. 3% I believe. Its mandated from the AFL. That is a $3k a year diff. Hardly earth shattering.

He's better than both of those...

Oooooohhhhh, I can't wait.....

I thought you had jumped off this hobby horse?

I wouldnt write Frost off. He has some flaws for sure but he also has lightning pace, can take a mark and is strong. I'd be happy if we was a Lever for Frost swap of course but having both would give us some flexibility.

Just to be sure you are not taking the pizz.... Don't be revisionist. When we did that deal we were desperate to inject some talent into the side immediately. We won 2 games for the year and had Terlich and Matt Jones finish 3rd and 4th in our B&F. It was a dire situation. We did the pick 2 deal and got Tyson and Salem. Tyson's first year was a stand out. Had we taken Kelly and had to wait 4 years for him to blossom who knows where we would be.

Do you think?

Boaty McBoatface made the AFLPA U22 top 40 squad...just sayin.....

You can? So if Frost says I want to go to Adelaide we can't do a trade he ends up back in the draft? Is that how it works?

Not sure how you are going to trade Frost. He is out of contract.

You did make those comments without seeing the incident. Just sayin...

You're splitting hairs there. No one disputes Salem is a fantastic kick of the football. Possibly our best kick.

We already have one of those.............

The Hawks didn't want to get rid of Lewis but Clarkson stuffed up and the cat was out of the bag so it was too late to stop. They eventually realised they had to move on Hodge, Gibson, Mitchell, Lewis and possibly Burgoyne in order to avoid the Brisbane crash after their 3 flags. It was the right strategy just poorly done. We won out of this. In every way possible.

Lewis is the biggest name to come to Melbourne in decades. The fact he chose Melbourne is nigh on unbelievable. Every year on this forum posters go bananas about a Dangerfield some other gun player that we might get. It never happens! Now though it might be different. In addition to his on and off field leadership Lewis might also mean other out of contract guns like Lever or better seriously consider Melbourne as a destination. That is a major turnaround from where we have come from. He is worth every cent we pay him. The team has been walking taller since he arrived and all the players have been quizing him about Hawthorn, playing in finals, preparation etc. He has done it all and its fantastic he has brought ot to Melbourne As for finals experience we have had Jones 11 years ago and Vince. Thats it. His worth will shoot up dramaticzally come September

About 10 years ago....

the money is irrelevant. We have to pay the cap. Not sure why poeple don't understand that. As for the footy dept, I said I would back the footy dept over you. I stand by that

Did Pavlich go home to Adelaide? No Has Sloan come back to Melbourne? No Do we need to bang on about Hogan and Perth for the next 3 years?

You can't make an omelete withput breaking a few eggs....

People really think this is a factor? And you are guessing based on his Dad's team? Seriously.
