The Song Formerly Known As

absolutely. That and the rumours from trade radio that we are going to make a play for someone, i recon this years pick will be used somewhere else other than Hibberd (ideally).

Why? Seems odd to choose us

Can't believe people still argue that Dawes is more valuable than Pedo. The guy does everything Dawes does, but can actually take a mark and is on half the salary. Well done to the Pedo Bear, and well done to the MFC. 16 re-signings in 12 months!

Aha this is juvenile. I like it. but I rate Hogans ability to move up the ground, similar to Riewoldts (nick). With some other targets to kick too, hopefully he does it more

this is all what we already knew.

Exactly the player we need, just needs a good Viney right hook the jaw to stop him from being so lazy. Which I'm sure he'd receive

Surely he will get picked up by Gold Coast or Brisbane. Would be very serviceable off the half back flank for those sides, as well as the professionalism and leadership he could bring to the young group. In a twisted way, and going back to business, it's nice that our list/club is headed in the direction where our a player like Jack just isn't up to the standard we are at.

Just clearing out more deadwood. expect some of the others to be used as trade bait.

Nominates Essendon (rumoured). Also: Port Adelaide, Richmond, Collingwood and Carlton are four clubs who are very interested in the services of Darling but there is believed to be a number of other Victorian clubs who are circling the gun forward.

Matt Jones was the least spuddy of the spuds we have on our list. At least he isn't slow. Give me a quick Matt Jones over a slow Michie and Newton any day. The only good thing Newton has going for him is that he kicks goals as a mid.

Yup, it was his daughter. And Turfy said on SEN that he "believed" that Jesse had signed a 4 year deal. Also, some suggestions that the deal has a clause in it in regards to Jesse's father. Whatever it may be, but probably fair enough. Also, yes, that Melbourne FC facebook group is bizarre. Every now and then a few gems of info pops up but most of it is bizarre and uneducated. It makes Demonland look like Harvard.

This nails it for me.

Yes because your suggestion of brayshaw for riewoldt was absolute lunacy.

D Tyson with a late run

How did Gawn not poll in the North game? They gave Goldy 3 though.

From one of those Facebook trade pages: #Boomer While there is talk Boomer Harvey could end up at Melbourne next season, Geelong is believed to be his club of choice.

People are still trying to hang a bloke that plays for us now. get over it.

Copied this summary from the dees supporters page: Trade Radio - * Hibberd said he has already been having beers with the likes of Jones & Vince in recent weeks. He says his relationship with Goodwin & the need for a fresh start is why he chose Melbourne. Deal will be done in good faith unless something drastically goes wrong. * Hogan's managers boss (correct me if wrong) said all the trade talk is just noise. When asked if Hogan will play at MFC in 2017, after a fair bit of tap dancing he said "yes". He also said he thinks that even the "deal of the century" wouldn't get Melbourne to trade. He wasn't overly convincing in his declaration however!

I'd almost take it

Exactly my point. It doesn't matter if they are in or not in the club merchandise. The clubs includes them until they sign or leave!

Not at all. I awkwardly have a club official calendar for this year which the MFC sent me that has Jeremy Howe in it (can't remember which month). Anyways he left the club a week after I got it.

Rip rpfc/range rover

Out of interest, who does the votes each week?

Tyson fourth. gawn third. viney or jones again left to last two.

Same with Tyson ("we mucked another draft/trade up etc."), but he had a phenomenal second half of the year!
