Disco Demons

people complaining about dawes getting 500k need to remember what it took to get mitch clark...Mitch has brought the supporters back to the game.

pies are being greedy...they want to eat all the pies compo is announced this friday. we have another two weeks of trade period?

for dawes I think pies are after our pick 20 & moloney compo pick (possibly second round)

Oakleigh made the grand final this year. Jack played for them last year i believe. Did Jack play for Oakleigh in the u18's grand final this year? if not...why not?

It improves the list.

the AFL will have to improve the clubs compensation based on recent sucess. Port Adelaide should get better compenstation weighting than Saint Kilda.

i did say 'look at'...Mark Neeld has gone public about Col's form earlier this season. some of cols actions need to be looked at....ie., joking around with opposition players after a heavy loss.

glad you could get off your perch in your ivory tower to tell us that.

i'm happy to show a little more patience....gysberts had ankle issues and broken jaw this year....Cook is skinny as a rake…plus only a 2nd year player. Watts has taken three years to show a little. We should be looking at blokes like Sylvia, Morton, Dunn, Bate, etc…they've had enough time.

that's looks like a closing down sale. I don't understand why you are looking to offload youth so cheaply. We need to replace blokes like Dunn, Bate, Green, Moloney, Petterd, Rivers, with blokes who are up to it. Can't believe you would give Cook away for a 3rd round pick and Gysberts for a 2nd round pick.

Anyone got an update on Moloney?

we should offer adel our pick 4 for tippet...force gold coast to use there pick 2.. ensures viney falls through to 2nd round.

jack watts and wayne carey would be a good mix.

if you want something you have to go out and get it. Not going to come to you easy. Players aren't knocking on our door. We can't offer a premiership in the short term so we have to pay the $$$. The reality Caddy and His management want to stand all over clubs. Caddy wants to choose his club and not a club choose him.

Forget onfield...we have been shocking. 2012 history will remember Jim Stynes. Jim Stynes is the greatest person melbourne has ever had.

As Leigh Matthews said...Mitch Clark was just an ordinary footballer...Took moving to melbourne to make him a champion...

i didn't know Strauss bats for the other team!

I don't like the idea of a comprised draft with priorty and compensations picks. 18 clubs should mean 18picks per round. Better to keep it simple. If Cloke leaves Collingwood...Cloke will be getting approx 1mil over 5years. Would it be fair for the AFL to hand the new clubs first round draft pick to Collingwood as compenstation? Based on what he will be getting paid etc.

Carlton have no leadership...Carlton are similar to melbourne in that they are stocked full of 1st round draft picks. The main difference between melb and carlton is a handful of players...ie,. Judd, etc..Judd is not a captain. He is a mecenary. Swans have a super leadership group...Strong Culture and the players buy into it.

IT was a great lesson for jack...walker is only 23. shows jack how much harder he needs to work. Simple

That's great news. The surgeon he used. Mark Blackney is well known and been around for awhile. He operated on my foot 10 years ago. Did a great job.

For mine Cam Schwab downfall has been his profile. Things like whiteboard wednesday was nothing more than self promotion. It highlighted he had his own agenda. Jim Stynes book apparently described Cam Schwab as having his own agenda. Unable to follow the boards direction. He should stick to following the boards direction instead of his own agenda. I would like to see more of Don Mclardy in the media. I don't think he's put a foot wrong yet. Cam should stay in more a behind scenes role. The club is out of debt. Cam is doing a good job. His public profile isn't the right fit for the club.

You have to be a great player to play until retirement. in all honesty I'm not sure when the next retirement will be. most of our older players will get delisted or traded before retiring.

People seem to forget about players from interstate clubs like Kurt Tippet. would be a great fit for us.

I actually don't like the u17 mini draft. Not a good look for the AFL. Trading/drafting a kid before he is an adult 17 year old kids isn't right...sounds a bit like child slavery? ha
