Hope that doesn't equate to a trade of Stef Martin for a Buckley discard. Wonder who might be in the firing line in Pieland. Harry O? 'Sliding' Dawes?

Wherever they are, we'll track them down, hunt them like wolves chasing an injured deer, put the fear of god into them........ and then very politely thank them for their services, like good MFC citizens. B@stards left with little to show for.

Wonder if it will be leaked beforehand on the AFL website like the rising star.

Green was probably told its time by Neeld. I remember Yze, Robbo, White, etc wanting to go around again. Good luck to him. Good player in his day, but that day went quite some time ago. No great loss.

Bloody hope Clark's foot heals up then.

Gonna be a very interesting trade period for us. Usually they are pretty dull (Clark trade excepted) and the anticipation outweighs the reality. Byrnes eh, interesting to find out the qualities he has that Neeld wants.

Great post. Fantastic vision you have given us. Let's hope it doesn't get anywhere near this, otherwise it might as well be virtual, on a tablet screen, between people who never see each other, with made up names.... Oh, wait......

I like Martin too, but he only seems to look at home when he's flying solo in the ruck. That's not going to happen at the Dees unless another major spate of injuries (touch wood). And it may well be that the FD likes Spencer for his angry effort over Stef's athleticism. Gawn fit and maybe another young ruck in the draft may further complicate this for Stef.

And he had another couple of seasons where he was in the mix to win more. How good a year is RLT having, as well? They look good. Interesting finals series.

Move on, angry man. I have. Talk footy.

Back to footy.... This is very true Jaded. But Gys has to want to buy in (I'm disliking that term already). If he refuses to get with the coaching plan and game plan requirements, Neeld may be wise to seek value from Gys in a trade while he still can.

Then talk footy pal.

Do I get to lie down on some couch while I suck my thumb? I'm too scared you'll get on that '1965 is the root of all our problems' line again and bore the hell out of me. Thanks anyway Sigmund. Onward and upward, hey? Cheers and chin-chin, old chap.

Oh, good lord. You two should get a room. Now I've heard it all! You can analyse the psychology of our list from the depths of your darkened study? Oh please.

Oh, is that what you were talking about...... Nature & Nurture? Always liked their music. Love boy bands. Toff.

Is there anyone out there who can translate this?

If he had, Maldonboy would now have become Maldonman!

Good point Wiseblood. A lot of half truths, mistruths and just rubbish.

Has struggled this year, no doubt. Has a contract, so must play, be paid out, be traded or retire. None of these are great options financially or list wise, I would have thought. But these reoccurring rumours about players wanting out or being pushed out is now getting ridiculous. I have read on Land that the MFC is not well liked by many of the press corp (something about someone within the club feeding them lies and was caught out), but how is it that they get any oxygen? Are there people within who are so unprofessional that they give out information or is it just pure fiction by journalists seeking payback? This is being handled VERY badly by the club. The fact that Neeld has to go to the VFL commentators to try and correct rumours (so far) says that the media wheels have fallen off the MFC. Who's job at the MFC is this to address? Schwabby, where the £ark are you? Also getting a tad sick of posters on here claiming to be in-the-know with decisive info. What cr@p. C'mon guys, get real. It's easy to claim anything when we are all anonymous keyboard heroes.

Can't see him retiring as he has a large family to feed. Can't see the club paying him out for nix. Can't see he has much trade value. Might be true, but me thinks this report originated from the same camp as the 'Jordan Gysberts to be delisted' report. Didn't see it, but was there any direct quotes from AD or the MFC in the report? Has been a fine player in his heyday. Unfortunately injured and out of form in last couple of years. Of little use to us or any other club, I would have thought.

Watching Michael Talia play on Cook...... One is a relative man mountain with wide shoulders and big arms, the other looks like he will be blown over in the strong winds. Cook get the free, misses from 20 out in front....... hmmmmmm.

Geez, we're a highly negative bunch. Grab a knife and a fork and start eating our own.

They corrected themselves after that comment when given a message from someone from the club

Yeah, Cook doesn't seem to have much fire in his belly. Doesnt crave for the contest and struggles to get in the right spot. Still young though. If he's been told to go jump, why is he playing at Casey?

Reported on VFL commentary that Cook has NOT been delisted from MFC. Interesting.
