Because there is trade time coming up and you don't devalue the resources.

Watts has been a disappointment that's for sure. The intensity has never been there, not even at training. But he has one good thing on his side. When he does get the ball, he usually finds a target, by foot or hand. His decision making is very good.

I heard that Riccutto was sprouting Melbourne were offering him a large sum to come back home. I watched him today, didn't do much against crap opposition.

Don't call me shirley!

Geez I hope your not all dreamin. I have been wishing for this for years.

The latest whisper on the AFL site is Moloney & pick 13 for Caddy. That makes a lot of sense to me.

1. Clarke 2. Jones 3. Grimes 4. T. McDonald 5. Howe 6. Blease 7. Frawley 8. Trengove 9. McKenzie 10. Struggling to come up with No. 10 ( the Truscott night may be the best judge)

One of the most colourul characters I've ever had the privilege to meet. RIP Slug.

I must have been at a totally different game. Last quarter was bearable. First 3 quarters lacked a lot of heart.

Exactly what free agency is about. It can help clubs and players alike. I applaud Melbourne. 90% of those mentioned were stated here as trade bait so many times. If someone wants them so be it. If we do want them after the trade period, then we have a market value or not to offer them if we want.

What a stupid thread. We are all bitter and twisted. Who cares about Sheedy.

Well here is a 2nd. At least his GWS team hasn't been beaten by 186

Magner Omitted or injured? Had a feeling I saw him at a specialist shoulder surgeon this morning.

No good worrying about what may happen. GWS or GC have to declare their hand first if they want to take Jack. If they don't then (provided no other club finishes below us) we will take him in the 2nd round.

Yeah, I got my confirmation Email this morning. Jim Stynes Room Level 2 Olympic Stand. Slightly different topic has anyone heard anything about the Mid Season Player reviews

Out Green, Tapscott, Morton In Cook, Martin Tynan

Who cares the season is done & dusted. 2013 here we come!!!!

Based on today's effort. That was Greens last game. A forward who can't hurt the opposition on the scoreboard just has to go.

Don't worry about your Dreamteam DH72 there are byes for rounds 11, 12 &13 you can trade 3 per round

2012 ooc Interesting I wouldn't miss 12 of those at all. The problem is getting replacements.

I've never been a Royal Fan. He is the last man standing from a FD shake up. I just don't know what he brings to the table that saves him. I like the way the midfield are going in harder, but what happens when/if they get the ball? The disposal skill is atrocious.My belief is the setup at stoppages is just a little off. We are just a bit off giving protection to the ball winner to clear the ball without being crunched all the time. If this problem hasn't been mentioned at team meetings I'd be surprised. But I don't see any improvement throughout this year. We need someone who can get the message cross. If that is Ling, Hayes, Bartel or anyone else, please get them.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say, I haven't been to a game since the St.Kilda game. I have watched the games on Foxtel,but usually end up turning it off by half time. The Game plan has us hamstrung and we don't know how to attack. Unless things improve dramatically, I will not be renewing my membership next year. A "Demon for life" they have just about sucked the last bit of enthusiasm out of me.

Totally agree. Neelds great one liner sums this up. From the moment he walked into the club. "It's a clean slate" Everyone's position is up for grabs. The FD will sit down near the End of the season and go through the list like no other season. We have the room in the salary cap to be very competitive bidder at Free Agency. We also have a few overpaid duds which will make room. And we will finish low enough to ensure we draft the right type of player. The size and experience in our FD will ensure that this happens. We haven't had a FD before that can do that. Yes write off this year, but look for the changes for next year.

Racial discrimination. Sexual harrassment. The rise of the greens. Global Warming

Wrong. they sit in wait and tackle our players and force a turnover. we need variation to keep the opposition guessing.
