    Unfortunately Redleg the MFC have made me a "Doubting Thomas" I will believe it when I see it!

    I have a suspicion you missed my intent R&B I was suggesting I was too young !!!

    I did not include Beamer or Rivers because they left us so as a result I did not them as rejects.

    I have watched this year with interest some of our rejects from the last couple of years. Below is my view which I am not claiming is perfect because I was out of the country a couple of times and may have missed a item or two. Martin played a couple of games at Brisbane but basically no impact. Gysberts played a few good games for Werribee but no senior games for North Morton played a couple of games for WCE with nil impact, little impact for East Perth. Bennell little impact anywhere but that be harsh as he was out with a knee injury the first half of the year. Petterd Actually played well for Richmond good pick up by the Tigers. Cook Vanished without trace Bate disappeared into the Essendon VFL team without much mention Maric Vanished without trace Based on their form only Petterd seems to have been an error. The rest have performed as they did with the MFC. Says lots about selection. IMO they have shown us that development or the lack of it had much to do with these guys non results. Just bloody poor selections in the first place.

    This mob would have done way better

    It is astounding that a series of "professional" recruiters could get it so badly wrong.

    I am sure Redleg that if they had used that method we would have been better off.

    I realise that happened TBF Do you know why they changed?

    What the MFC does to Casey in September is the eight wonder of the world to me Redleg. I still have no understanding of why you would elevate Magner to the senior list and then not play him

    Probably more Bbo.

    In my wildest dreams I never thought we would get to 250 pages on this thread. The "other one" has slowed to a crawl all but burnt out. Bananas forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Amen to that TBFAre you going? PS The mighty Norwood Redlegs are on top by two games and percentage with one game to go. Looking good.

    I will make a $50 donation to the fund redleg

    I think he was suggesting a possible trade bb But seriously who would be interested? We have seven I would like to trade but I doubt there would be more than one taker. Jamar might get a little interest but that is about it.
  20. old dee replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I seriously doubt it would be 12 Redleg, like you I think that is too many in one hit. To get rid of 12 you have to find 12 that are better 6 to 8 maybe achievable but I doubt 12.

    I went though our list last night I came up with the following list of players that I would shed in the next few weeks. Now there are a couple on here that may be unlucky because they are out of contract. In no particular order Jetta, Nicholson, Gillies, Tynan, Davis, Sellar and the following retirees in Roden, J Mac and Davey. Nine in total. If there was a chance I would trade out any of Jamar, Tappscott, Bail, Blease, Byrnes Pedersen and Strauss. Unfortunately there is probably only Jamar that would attract interest and then not much in value for the MFC. What is everyone's opinion.

    And it will be dead and this one will live on. As Jack Dyer would say it does not have the "Intestinal Fortitude" to continue.

    That pretty much covers it He also said that it is the reason we have a commission, so that an overall view is taken.

    Well we can see it amongst the brambles.
