Jamar's one of them.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BILLY STRETCH
Adam The God replied to e25's topic in Melbourne Demons
I'll continue to put my faith in Roos and co. For a deeply cynical person, I've been doing that a lot lately. If he's worth a second rounder, he's worth a second rounder. -
He kept you listening though.
-
In the twos, unless he can fashion himself into a tagger. I'd say that'll be the case even without Malceski.
-
Overrated at this point in time. He and Jimmy Toumpas have just about the same career stats and some on here want to get rid of JT. I know stats can be deceiving, but I wouldn't be trading a top pick for MB, even if we did get their first rounder back.
-
Paul made a very good point though. It could very much matter. If the Crows wanted to take a KPF and that was part of the allure of trading Dangerfield, we couldn't deal with both clubs, because they'd both be after the same thing.
-
I'd say there are smoke screens all over the place, mate. Roos seems to be a master of this. We'll quietly go about our business and you watch. We'll land a decent mid or two this off season.
-
Mcrae and Libba are the only Bulldogs I'd be interested in. Unless they put them up (they won't), I'd be looking elsewhere.
-
He sounds like a [censored]. Bugger off, Blease. Is tw-at too offensive?
-
I thought it was more of a swipe at the AFLPA, BB. I think he'll be safe from the wrath of AFL House in any case.

Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]
Adam The God replied to Dr evil's topic in Melbourne Demons
Yeah, they haven't seemed too concerned about losing either, but I thought it was telling that Roos praised Frawley and barely mentioned Mitch. -
I agree, mate. He was clearly deemed expendable. Dunn was going to come a lot cheaper, is a better kick and arguably more versatile. Frawley had been a terrific one-on-one defender in the past, but there are more pressing needs.

RIP Robbie Flower - Sad Passing of a True Champion
Adam The God replied to KLV's topic in Melbourne Demons
Absolutely devastating. I was born in 1987, so I never saw Robbie play in the flesh, but watched copious video tapes of him. Seemed like salt of the earth off the field too. RIP, Robbie. -
Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]
Adam The God replied to Dr evil's topic in Melbourne Demons
I agree, but with the family connection, I can't see them letting Wallis go. -
We've got pick 3. It's fine. Calm down everyone. They make it up as they go along anyway. If a rule needs to be changed, it will be.
-
I agree, mate. I just can't see GWS giving up their two best mids for more draft picks. They are seemingly keen to spread the age of their list, but they won't give up both of them.
-
How is this a harsh decision? Are we forgetting the midfield he had at his disposal? Came a year later than it should have.

Melbourne considering shifting its base to MCG
Adam The God replied to M_9's topic in Melbourne Demons
If you mean the line "The Demons are set to announce a small profit this year, thanks in part to the signing of new sponsors", I think it is referencing signings such as AHG and Southern China Airlines. Could be wrong though. I heard a couple of weeks ago that we were going to post a modest profit and none of that came from AFL handouts. -
I reckon he'll be alright, particularly if we get Danger. Less pressure on him in the middle.
-
Apologies. Getting my years mixed up. The last few have sort of rolled into one. What I meant was that his breakout was 2012, so to give him the captaincy prior to that (ie the start of 2012) didn't make sense to me. I agree he should have been a co captain or captain at the top of 2013.
-
Oh well. Jaded'll be happy.
-
Surely this was part of PJ's application in the wake of the GWS embarrassment? To see what our comp for Frawley would be. It was announced as 'no priority pick for Melbourne', but I would be surprised if we didn't hear what our compensation would be then.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HERITIER LUMUMBA
Adam The God replied to Moonshadow's topic in Melbourne Demons
I'd take Garland every day of the week. Also, if I was Roos, I'd be floating Howe as trade bait. Would take Frost as well though. -
Cue gif with girl saying 'why can't we have both?'
-
Rightly so. Jones's breakout year was 2013. He was too inconsistent even in 2012. He tried to break tackles and would get caught every time. He's learnt his limitations since and became a much better player for it and deserved the captaincy when he got it.
