    Not one of them will influence our wretched midfield next year. I can understand the displeasure.
  2. Adam The God
    Forget FA, mate. Boyd's opened up a pandora's box. It has wide-reaching implications for the competition at large. As it stands we have absolutely no midfield depth. If there's no movement tomorrow, it's going to be another long year. We can't keep expecting these young draftees to come in and tear it up. It's very rare, particularly in sides that are anchored to the bottom of the table.
  3. Adam The God
    It's kind of ironic that the FA landscape has seemingly created a new paradigm, yet there's less player movement than for the past four years. The AFLPA'd be happy. This year too, surely/Shirley. If anything we might have a little less next year if we have to pay overs to keep Jones.

    It's getting that first star to make the leap of faith. My fingers are still crossed for tomorrow. Yeah, he might be talking positively now, but unless we dramatically improve, there's absolutely no way he'd come to a bottom 4 club. If we get out of the bottom 4 and win 7 or 8 games, we won't be laughed scoffed at next year when we sidle up again. I don't really care what people say, particularly if we'd secured Dangerfield. What if this year's crop of draftees aren't that special? It won't matter how much development we put into them. At least binman can keep his avatar.

    More tattoos to hide his lack of integrity.
  6. Adam The God
    I agree, mate, but I've no doubt we had a contingency plan(s), so I don't think it'll be a case of merely just taking whatever we can get our hands on. We won't throw the picks away on middle of the road players. They'll be for established stars that we've been vetting or soon to be stars.
  7. Adam The God
    Still can't see us taking the top picks to the draft.
  8. Adam The God
    Neither are that believable. You can't trust anything football people say. They're politicians.
  9. Adam The God
    I didn't say he was a hack. I implied he wasn't worth a top 3 pick on his own and that's what we'd essentially be giving. He's not an A grader, so you'd want a top 10 pick back at least. Sydney can't provide this. No deal, for mine. But each to their own.
  10. Adam The God
    I wouldn't. That's still overs. Mitchell couldn't crack the 1sts.
  11. Adam The God
    Yeah, I can't see us giving up 2 picks for one player. Josh is a gun and a great bloke, but no deal. It'll be interesting to see how the next 48 hours pans out.
  12. Adam The God
    Mine too.
  13. Adam The God
    I just can't see the club putting its eggs all in the one basket, without a back-up plan, so I'm still expecting at least one A grader.
  14. Adam The God
    I don't have evidence of Treloar, because I wasn't saying he did want to come back to Victoria. If we were after him, we'd have to convince him presumably.
  15. Adam The God
    We had a go last year, didn't we?
  16. Adam The God
    Once again, where has this come from? Multiple posters are sprouting this. They may not be able to stop him, mate. If he says he wants to come back to Victoria and the MFC can offer pick 2 or 3, I think they take it and run. It's the same leverage we have with Dangerfield. We're actually incredibly lucky with this new FA paradigm (that has encouraged players, young and old to request a new home at will) coming into play when we have all these picks. Roos and co have been ready for it though. It's sounding ominous to me...in a good way.
  17. Adam The God
    Yeah, it was clear to me Mahoney simply came out and said that to force the hand of a few opposition clubs.
  18. Adam The God
    I can see the line of thinking here. I did just say somewhere else that he could well turn into the next Judd, but I'm not keen on giving up two top picks for anyone. Carlton didn't for Judd. I think we're gonna get two players we're really happy with this week. Wouldn't it be great if Treloar was one of them? This makes no sense to me, but each to their own.
  19. Adam The God
    Not a fair or 'efficient' indication though, is it? Ironic, given it's disposal efficiency.
  20. Adam The God
    Agreed. Treloar has the pace to take his game to Judd's level a couple of years ago. He's a natural ball winner too. He gets into the right places, makes good runs, uses the ball pretty well and can kick goals.
  21. Adam The God
    Gun, isn't he? I think Shiel would be next on my list, followed by Greene and then Coniglio.
  22. Adam The God
    I hate that stat. It's the biggest load of rubbish ever. We can run around in circles or handball/kick from side to side and gain no ground, yet our disposal efficiency might be considered terrific as a result of this. I think Richmond have better users coming off half back too, so it's not just their midfielders that use it better than ours.
  23. Adam The God
    If we can convince them to come (long contract, big money, Roos and Melbourne) and tell GWS we can compensate them with a top pick, we could conceivably get any of the GWS blokes, Treloar included.
  24. Adam The God
    If we win a few more games, journos will pay more attention to him and rate him higher. Very unfair, but journos are popularists, so they write what the masses want to read.
  25. Adam The God
    Gee, our man Jones looks good in that, doesn't he? Legend. Goals are the only things he's missing. How he didn't make the top 50 list is a joke.
