I think it will be alright, I cant even begin to imagine what it would feel like if we let Jones go.. It could just about push me over the edge really

Don't stuff around with this Melbourne! Jones doesn't atrike me as the kind of guy to be money hungry, so unless he's asked for something ridiculous, I really hope we don't insult him by trying to negotiate a cheaper contract!

I'm not a hater it just seems odd that's all.

I won't argue, but I'll add Peep Show to that and be on my way!

Is it normal for members of the public to be asking the players questions and talking to them during training sessions? I understand it happening after training, perhaps photos with kids and autographs and whatever, but is asking them stuff during practice not distracting in any way?

BTW, check out the Frost highlights on the Melbourne website; they are very impressive, and should be noted- highlights taken from AFL games. We salivate over highlight packages taken from kids in TAC Cup etc, well Frost has had experience in the big leagues and has shown something. He is the one player that was available in this draft with runs on the board and all things being equal could be considered top 3 pick worthy

What if Stkilda took Membrey with a late pick freeing them up to take Frost in the PSD, or what if Stkilda just took Frost with one of their last picks?

Why? Apart from his explosiveness what does he bring? Sylvia MKII is a chance. Didn't he break down doing the 3km at the combine? Seems a very speculative pick when compared to someone with a more rounded game like Brayshaw for example.

Do you expect Tom McDonald to hold down FB all year, and what are your contingency plans if McDonald or Dunn get injured? Frost is our new FB, he is ready to go, and if we had to pay pick 23 for him, so be it.

We must be saving our money for our plethora of stars.. FFS Melbourne, you are a joke! Just get it done!

Oh give it a [censored] rest!

Yeah, it's been a busy couple of years!You can't see my posts so this joke is not offensive.

Adios!

I did watch it but it was so damn long ago lol. Ahhh what a shame the lad missed all of last year, still [censored] at that! So there's room for both in the same set up? Would be kind of hard to pass up a tall forward duo!

Hogan stays FF. is there room for two deep FF in the same team? BTW a highlight of McCartin for me is the way he one grabs it! Strong hands!

Roos said in an article somewhere- after we picked up Newton, that we have pick 2,3 and 40 in the draft, so all should be good. Someone find it and post it.

You can spin it any way you want, but it would be downright idiotic to not use pick 40 (37 thanks WJ) when you have it in hand. Still a chance to strike it lucky and land a beauty. I'd like to see who this new recruiting team come up with, We can manipulate the list to free it up so it shouldn't be a problem. If it is a problem we are hacks!

Might as well shut down the Oscar McDonald, the Gore, the Goodyear etc threads.. The club is sticking with Evans, Terlich and McKenzie as they have been in the system and have pre seasons and all that shiit, and pick 40 and 53, although traded for, will bear no fruit..

No we'll just hold on to players that give us as much as Evans has and we'll just hope that the list gets better.. I'd rather roll the dice and hope we end up with another Tommy Mac, or JKH etc..

So if we don't use 40 and 53 then the Frost trade was [censored] and we panicked and wasted time and bargaining power by waiting until the last minute then throwing pick 23 just to get it done. We're paying a new head recruiter to recruit players who at 2&3 can basically be picked by any buffoon who can log into Superfooty, and we're not getting full value from a new development team by bringing in as many fresh faces as we could/should. We really are just walking on the spot as a club aren't we? So much for being ruthless this trade period.

Could be the win one of the clubs needs to make the 8..

Pick 18 and 4 years development down the drain. Looked good in his highlights but the game is running and endurance centric these days and Tappy isn't built for that. Next

God I wish we were in a position to draft Pickett! Anyway I'm hoping Brayshaw/ Laverde but I'm thinking well go Brayshaw/ McCartin I don't think it was ever the clubs intention to let Hogan be the 1st or even 2nd tall forward in his first year and biatch Clark leaving kind of forced our hand into drafting a KPF to help spread the load between Hogan, Dawes and whoever we pick
