Demon Forever

Mark my words: caddy to us and pick 4 to GCS and allow Viney through to second round. This will net us Pick 3 Wines/o rourke or Grundy (of which we will choose Grundy as we are effectively bringing in 3 mids) Pick 4 Caddy Pick 13 and Stef Martin for Wellingham and Dawes Pick 26 Viney

I will call it now but MFC have done a deal to get caddy and on send pick 4 to GCS and hence let viney slip to pick 20 something. It's what they call a win/win

So Brisbane and GCS are a chance? Your kidding me right?

Hallelujah. Common sense finally. I don't think there is a hell of a lot wrong with our list, but more so the confidence these young guys have got...like Neeld says "we can match it with most, however our problem is we can't play out the 4 quarters".

Tell me how many games did Cochin, Martin and others play in the VFL before they got a gig? It just proves that our recruiting has been off. If we draft we should draft for immediate impact like other teams do

You a funny monkey Barndee. "Mummy can we keep him?"

Anyone suggesting using our pick 13 is off their face. Ask yourself this: who is worth more? Dawes? Wellingham? Currently collingwood want a late first round pick WCE first pick and wCE have offered a 3rd round pick. So you would think that a second round pick will do it. Keeping this in mind how can we trade pick 13 or even package up pick 13 and Martin for any of the players

Negative. How old is he?

The common thought is that welling ham will go for a second round pick meaning Dawes would be a late 2nd round of 3rd... Anymore less than that and we are paying overs especially considering his year and effectively his value should had dropped

I think the inconsistencies have come from having Petrie getting all the intention and most midfielders kicking at drew

God help me.........just come back from holidays and firstly hear: (1) Dawes (2) F Ray Have I landed on another planet? I'm convinced our footy dept smoking the meth again

Stringer will drift out. I'm suspecting late teens.

Have you not heard this?

Always rated him....have thought the same thing.

We have a winner Johnny! Awesome call

Why are all the melbourne staff talking about trading our picks 3 or 4 for the right player? I just don't get it...furthermore to draft a 17 year old such as Hogan only for him to leave in a few years doesn't make sense to me also Am I missing something here?

Give the guy a break....he has had injuries throughout his career that limit him to being as good as what we expect.. We have seen glimpses which means he has the ability to turn it on and rip open a game. Something our team lacks in a big way. Reckon some of you guys need to pull your head in Sometimes I really start to think if some of you guys really should follow a club like this...I have often heard yells of "no ticker etc" when in fact some here are the ones with no ticker. Don't knot about most, but I back our players in all the way and yes there are some that aren't deserving of a jumper, however to sacrifice a player like Sylvia would be sacrilege. End of rant

Reports are collingwood want Koby Stevens and a draft pick....still a lot to work out here

Herald sun reports "melbourne are not an option". Winning culture is a big part of it.. Sorry it was AFL.com http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/149026/default.aspx

not if saints use 12 or 13

Looking at the trading over the years to Melbourne, I notice that besides from Mitch Clark, we have basically not been able to get our hands on any prized trades. I note that last year it took Mark Neeld to fly up with his entourage to get it done. This year we have asked potential player candidates to migrate over without any luck. The way I see it and it is only an opinion, however MFC need a powerful negotiator. One that sends the fear of god through other teams spines. One that can broker a rippin deal and get the job done. One that can sell the MFC story and its dream. We cannot continue to pay big money for players as we will be in a similar boat to the Saints and where they find themselves with Goddard. Who is our Gubby Allen and where do we find him?

W In today's herald sun?

I don't get it! Why is this guy so special when "Hines" is head of recruiting at the filth?

We are not to be a charity club whom gives games purely for being a good servant...this attitude is the reason we are where we are.. Admittedly junior could have stayed at the club, however not as a player.
