Norm Smith's Curse

a bloke i know caught a lovely aussie salmon off moggs creek that bled red from the blue sea. Clearly the deal is done.

I'm sure they get plenty of these types of messages

Roos has one year to smash it. The mantra is 'competitors at all costs' - i wonder who fits that mantra?

my golf buddies suggested things were well on the way but no detail and their mail last year was terrible ;)b

We will have to pay super overs

There are a few whispers about that Matt's future. Not sure of his contract status but any takers on a trade for this kid?

Huge play being made by dees for danger. Source trade rumours facebook.

My wife's whole family stopped being members after Jnr got delisted and they are yet to go to a game since and Im not kidding. It annoyed a lot of people.

(and before anyone says players dont have opponents any more have a good look at Roosey's game plan)

My biggest queries are speed and defensive mindset which is basically absent imo. Where's my opponent? Oh over there lining up for a goal...

Heard he wasnt offered a contract. Not sure if that is true.

Dude at work claims to know a player agent. Dees are approaching every midfielder they think is a chance.

Think we might see dawes, howe, garland and maybe even watts gone as trades and the delistings are obvious.

He's already been in the system long enough imo. Either we realise his trsde value is a bigger risk than he is staying ir we plan on trading him.

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 $$$
