BIG JIM

Have quite a few Saints mates and they have no idea who they are taking. Doesn't matter, either way McCartin won't be a Dee!

I have been told the complete opposite. The MFC will not let macartin go past pick 3 if he is still there

Good luck to both guys but it's players like this who have been holding this club back. Very poor drafting killed this club

We're at home what a great result.

Mids, mids, mids....that is all folks!

have your heard we're not going to go for the big guys

Just like most our guys Howe needs to really pull his finger out and become a good AFL player. Would I have taken pick 6 for Howe? No not unless it was for another gun mid

I know around 20 who are not members that have just lost interest. They think I'm crazy as I still go every week. Melbourne start winning and you will see the big turn around. When you go to the queens birthday games that is our true support base. That's one game all demons go every year. We must start winning games. Last year when Nathan jones got that goal in the opening 25 seconds the roar of the MCG was what this club could be

Drug cheats must go. These players standing by there coach make it even worse. Time to pay the penalty bombers

Surprised no-one has picked up on this. Basically confirms that the Trengove to Richmond deal wasn't just speculative, it was all but finalised.

"After the Armitage approach was rejected Richmond set its sights on Trengove but that deal fell through when scans revealed he had more damage to his foot.

“We were all set to go in a lot of ways but the last scan just showed that it wasn’t looking quite as good as first thought,” Richardson said.

“We were disappointed about that because we did put a bit of work into that and Jack was, I think, pretty keen to come to the Tiges.”

i must say that does upset me that jack wanted out. Maybe it's time to get use to this crap

Make no mistake macartin is no spud. There is a reason he has been rated as the number 1 draft pick for such along time. Geelong falcons is a great breeding ground for talent and he is rated right up the top. We would be silly to pass on a hogan macartin combo. KPF are rare and worth a lot our spine will be set with this pickup. Then we look to the middle with brayshaw

Still waiting.

Oh Christ, come on. We've been reading posts like that for 7 YEARS!

we have also got Paul Roos and I'm just saying what I think is that ok. Lol

17. 77.4%

Must take macartin as our ten year full forward and hogan as our CHF. Then with brayshaw as the safe inside mid.

We must stand by jack he can play football and loves the MFC. He is no Mitch Clarke and we have to pay someone on our list and on my last count there is maybe 5 who earn there pay checks. Good luck jack

We'll the trade period is over and we now have 2&3 for the draft. This is a huge win for the club as we get two of the top three best young players in this great country. Why are we sad the truth is we're building around winning a flag. The guys like hogan,viney,Tyson,Salem,JKH,watts are the future to build around. Now put brayshaw & macartin in that group and we're really building a list to challenge in 3 to 4 years. This is when you go get a player like danger in another year or two. Yes we will be a bottom club for another year but this is the best chance of being a real threat on a flag. We now have the right guys in place to make this work. We all no it's been a long road but you can't take short cuts to be the best. Go dees

Melbourne should have thrown some money at shiel he will be a jet. Rate him better then all the draft kids

Time for GNF to let the players and deals out now it's safe to say he will not be giving away the deal. Show me the money

We will win 7 to 9 games next year after the trade period and strong draft position we will improve. Paul Roos has a another pre season to get this game plan into all these guys and give me the hulk over Boyd any day of the week. Tyson,viney,brayshaw, jones,vince,toumpass,cross,watts,pettraca /macartin,hogan,jkh,Salem I will back Paul Roos in to turn this ship around. Go the mighty demons

Trade 2 to the GWS in the agreement to let brayshaw fall at 3 and we get 6&7 back.

Would anyone take The bulldogs captain for pick 3 or is he to old.?

This is so wrong that now we have other fans just taking the [censored]

I can confirm that someone has been talking S$$$ at around 2:30 to 3:45 pm tomorrow

you really believe what balme says? Its near the end of the trade period. They have outstanding trades. He's yge footy manager. Pfft

I believe him over internet chat yes. Please tell me why you would believe a poster over someone who is involved in a football club. We will see tomorrow if the three way deal is done. Balme or random internet poster? I don't see what is so hard to believe

You had me a little till you said the Clark deal was not going to get Harry. I think Neil just said on sen it was a done deal. I'm calling BS

Pick 2 & 23 yes
