I don't think Crouch is likely, it'd almost be akin to us trading Hogan, but stranger things have happened. Particularly, when money is involved and he is a Victorian. Who knows.

Such an impressive bloke. I know that's not news to anyone, but I hope he signs on for another year after next.

Does anyone know if Brad Crouch re-signed with the Crows? Or did he sign a three year deal with them? EDIT. I'd be going after him.

I'm mostly with you buck, but I think the group-think is that you have to put someone with currency up. Toumpas has only had two seasons and was a top 5 pick. I think he may still come good, but he may not get the chance at Melbourne.

I'd prefer Crouch to Sloane.

Don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean he can't coach. TBH, I'm pretty happy about this. If Roos and PJ are happy, I am. But the way he was stumbling over words, suggests to me he was pretty nervous. : ) Each to their own.

Seemed very nervous in the press conference. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2014-09-18/media-goodwin-on-joining-mfc In this bit too. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2014-09-18/media-goodwin-on-successor-plan

Sanderson might make another good assistant coach now.

Yeah, I just meant players of his ilk and age bracket. He's probably not worth a first rounder though, you're right.

I tend to agree, rjay. What we really need to get out of this off season is two or three midfielders. I'd be leaning towards the likes of Shiel, Mitchell and say Prestia (if the latter wasn't contracted). But those types. Give up both top picks (2 and probably 3) and any other draft compensation picks we get if Clark leaves.

Or Collingwood's first round pick.

Can you someone please tell me we're going after Presita?

It may yet help us too.

Oh good. The old 'he bleeds red and blue' cliche resurfaces. That's extremely irrelevant in the age of free agency. A bloke by the name of Moloney was said to bleed red and blue.

I think this is a different point though, RB. People seem to hold up this idea of him being a loyal country boy as if it means anything. It's a load of superstitious/bizarre garbage.

I had blocked out so much of that. It's simply staggering how much has gone down and how much we've had to endure, over a seven year period. We're a bloody resilient bunch, aren't we? (and stupid)

I was thinking he may have been told by his contacts at the MFC to post it to ensure we gain maximum compensation. Maybe, I'm clutching at straws? I do love a GNF post though.

I get sick of this crap too. So Gen Y are the only generation to chase money? What a load of BS.

Can't win any games though, can he?

You could equally read them as calculating. I dunno. The MFC might just be playing this cleverly.

It was fun seeing Essendon and Richmond lose this week. Now for the Kangas next week and Hawthorn the following week.

He appears lazy to me. He seems to have a lot of talent, but still drifts in and out of games. I'd take him as a ruckman, but then I think about the whole ASADA and I think they're all damaged goods.

What has that crap ever meant though? What? All us city slickers are disloyal? He's gone. We need to get on with things. I don't blame him for leaving, but he should have come out half way through the season and said he was gone.

Why? I'd re-rookie Blease if anyone. I suspect someone else will have a go with him though.

I think we're all a bit numb after another rubbish season, NSC. I'm going to give it all a break until the trade and draft period. It's been another draining year.
