Norm Smith's Curse

There was even a recruiter who suggested to a good mate of mine that gws never intended in taking the toump and the 'slip through to us' was a ploy we fell for.

I cant believe the positivity about this if its true. The club has already held on to him too long and he should have been traded when there was still some doubt in the wider footy about whether he'll make it. he was drafted as an outside mid but he has no pace, was recruited for his elite disposal but he panics under pressure, has not even a concept of defensive efforts or making your opponent accountable and spent the last few months struggling at vfl level. Typical mfc - hold on to them until everyone is 100% certain that they cant play. this is cale all over again and i will be proven right

Dees recruiting strategy is 100% 'competitive beasts' now - if we dont trade our picks the person we pick will be someone in that mold.

Thanks for finding this bloke - now that its been posted expect Barrett and Denham to report this as a trade rumour within three weeks.

A Barrett involved in footy who I could like?

Plowman and Yarran I will entertain

If old geelong has beens are the best you blokes can come up with we are all in serious trouble

The thing abput vanders was that we found him by accident while watching Frost.

Paul Roos said himself that the view about list changes is 'changing all the time' Roosey knows that this off season is make or break for his legacy at melbourne and he's given some latitude tona lot of players that just havent repaid the faith. id be staggered if we delisted or traded less than 10.

We'd be mad not to go hard on Bennell - a few photos from 2013 will just lower his $$$

Delistings - michie, mckenzie, hunt, Terlich Should have been traded last year - Toumpas Will be held onto as depth - bail, fitz, m jones

I can tell you two things: 1. We only ever approached adelaide with a one pick offer for danger. 2. If he leaves there is ZERO chance it will to us.

Lack of leadership plain and simple.

Why dont people understand - our list is the problem.

Anyone been fishing at mogg's creek lately?b

Salem, frost and kent are missed. Perhaps an in form jkh. But our mids seem flat.

Id say Dawes, lumumba and a few others actually hurt us today - as in their contributions generally made us worse. Vince looked knackered as did vanders, jones and Tyson. when we beat geelong we shut up shop for the year.

I dont think we were outcoached we were just poor.

I agree that inclusions if Grimes, Toumpas and Newton or Michie will help. Kids are tired and the saints midfield is gonna be hard to combat.

Dont rate motlop as an a+ myself.

No doubt he is a potential gun. Gc will play hard ball at the trade table.

From what i hear the question is not whether Dion will request a trade to Melbourne but what they will want for him. I velieve he has at least one family member who lurks here on occasion.

Not true - casey smashed port and Michie and Riley had monster games. Done enough imo. Dawes is behind Pedo - he's best is behind him

I wish some people would stop commenting on footy. You dont get it. Just let it go. i bet the bloke's like 60 too.

Just a dumb comment / statement
