us being a mess on-field has precisely zero to do with anything Dangerfield like the rest will sell himself to the highest bidder, and the crows only concern is what trade currency we have i think its all BS but us being rubbish is irrelevant

I agree, can't be true

yes. we understand. what is your point?

but the point is serious when discussing the SECOND round, is it not?

shocking post, even for you

It's a very easy game for the feeble-minded. Scan a list of any draft, pick any good player in the whole comp that was taken after any Melbourne pick and get cracking on the negativity What they don't seem to realise is that you go to the forum for 17 other clubs and do exactly the same thing

Yes I know how the system works. Franklin leaves, cos his side won the flag they get pick 19 Frawley, leaves, cos we suck arse, we get pick 3 So doesn't that mean that the FA system actually favours the rubbish clubs? There is every chance we will use that pick 3 to do another Tyson-style deal and we will have kicked a goal

definitely was great that night but that was about all she wrote for the year

I heartily endorse this thread. Hopefully we can contain all the: to this thread - The Ollie Whinge thread

You're complaining about what might happen in the future. The past and present you have no grounds for complaint. Hawks lost the best player in the comp for pick 19 and they are one of your envied 'big' clubs Less whinge more hardening up is required by this club and its supporters

If that's true they are stupid and I'm glad we were knocked back! Nobody is worth that. I smell BS anyway, I don't fell like that is Roosy's style to put so many eggs in one basket

so far we have lost Sylvia to FA. That wasn't a loss at all. we have gained Vince, which was a massive win. if we lose Frawley and get pick 3 that will be a win too. the Clarke thing is a different story can we all please ease up a little on the 'AFL hates us and so does God and wawawhhwahah'

You must be high Morton played 40 games in his first 2 years and averaged 21 disposals throughout, also kicked 21 goals. He had 97 touches in 3 weeks at one point. Absolutely on another planet compared to Toumpas

Not being argumentative for the sake of it, but you are drawing a lot of speculation based on very little there. The AFL has helped us in recent history, but - if we elect to play hardball and he goes to the PSD, surely that's just our bad luck, how is it different from any other club breaking down negotiations with one of their players The market (as in other clubs' trades) should dictate the value of the player, he is a a high risk/reward venture, I reckon a couple of clubs will pony up a something around 15-25 for him.. which is a decent result for us. Particularly as there is a good chance Roos will convert it into established quality imports

I predicted he would look back with regret from walking away from a privileged gift of a life he was handed. I was trashed for it. Well apparently I was dead right. Few months on the sofa watching footy and he's realised 'WTF am I doing?' Nice advice huh

but it appears that an afl compo pick is not one one of the possible outcomes - this is not a free agency deal nor a deal involving a brand new expansion club. It's a club-to-club trade

Agreed. We should be flogging highlights videos all over the media and social media

this^^^

as a person who has his own issues, I questioned at the time whether the decision run away and retire (instead of facing his problems head-on) was at all wise or at all brave, for which of course I was howled at by 90% of this forum. I'm still wondeing what type of advice he has been getting, or to what extent what we have been fed about said advice is pure fabrication. All very very fishy for mine.

Good. My prediction is that we will soon get the 'it was all just rumours, I never had any intention of not returning to MelbourneFC' load of BS and he will be back with us Most will swallow it whole, of course There is too much bad will being thrown his way now, he doesn't have a choice Still begs the question of whether we really want him/think he is up to the job

Brilliant 4 game contribution, this kid has done everything and more expected of a number 4 draft pick and clearly has a big future ahead of him Oh wait sorry I thought I was on a forum for one of the other 17 sides
