Demon Forever

Not sure about the Finlayson part. Tough match up and hurts most teams.

Can I ask why? I’ve just watched his highlights package and I’m not sure what you are seeing that I am not. Not having a go. Just would be interested in seeing the highlights reel that shows him being good or worthy of packaging up with the deal

Is it possible that he is in the top 30% considering saints went hard at him last year? Not out of the question

Actually don’t mind that

The question we have to ask is: (a) is getting King for pick two under Juddys scenario better than; (b) trading pick 3 to GWS for picks 11 and 13 + a player.

Brayshaw not fit. Haven’t read about the extra training him and his brothers do every preseason? 100 x 100 meter sprints. The guy is a machine with his fitness. Fitness was not his issue. Reading that we get rid of a player like brayshaw for a hill type is crazy. It’s like sacrificing the queen in chess for a pawn.

It’s getting stronger

Spot on

So talk me through it. Maybe I’ve got this whole RFA wrong. RFA means that another club can get him but GWS can match the offer considering he is in the top 25% pay bracket at the club. Right? If this is the case, couldn’t GWS manoeuvre it to allow him to come to MELBOURNE?

Going back to my point. If Tomlinson wants to head home and isn’t motivated to come to us, then perhaps it gets our foot in the door to make him consider it. It may we’ll be another player used as the steak knives but we have what they want and essentially hold the power

Giving GWS picks 15, 41 and 59 for Ed Langdon is down right stupid for only a 2nd round pick. Langdon should be done for pick 20 or whatever that turns into. I get what your trying to do but that is way over the odds.

Who mentioned trading for Tomlinson? He wants to come back to Victoria and maybe thrown in as steak knives in any such deal. Derrrr! Obviously English is not a strong point of yours

I’m not even sure how stupid we would have to be to be ok with this

I’m not saying it’s going to happen but I’ve heard for a while now that we were always going to split the picks for GWS’s picks + Tomlinson.

????? Lets try explain that once again

those worried about the dollar$$$$ This puts it in perspective Chris Dawes (2013) - Signed on for $600K per year - was Hopeless Jake Melksham (2016) - Signed on for $600K per year - Serviceable especially late 2017 Michael Hibberd (2017) - Signed on for $650K per year - Gun Mitch Clarke (2012) - Signed on for $800K per year - Couldnt get on the park Jake Lever (2018) - Potentially signing for $850K per year - AA with a lot of upside Bring Lever on $900K everyday of the week for me please!!!!!!

Your right. I'm deadset riding the wave of hope to have him sign up elsewhere

Yeah danger may not arrive at Melbourne but could you imagine the egg on those faces if he does. Will sit back and enjoy if this does happen. Almost hoping it does tbh!

I don't have anything to back this up but I'm refusing to believe that Dangerfield is going to Geelong. Something is just not adding up! Paul Roos came out and said we are going to be big players this year in the trades yet all we have heard so far is Melksham who I don't think is a huge recruit but could prove handy none the less. Melbourne had the money last year and by all accounts floated the idea of some serious money for Dangerffield and now we read about the contract with Geelong only being $800k a season for 5 years. A few suspicious tweets from Melbourne players to Paddy is also making me think there is more to the story than what we know. I could be wrong and maybe time will tell but we have all seen this before with Buddy and Tippet. Remember players managers get paid based on the size of the contract so that's why some things do t turn out the way that most people think.

Sure it's not ideal but we don't know the reasons for the delay. I'm sure the club didn't sit back and say "let's screw the supporters"

Jesus. Settle down people. Next time your stuck in traffic or late for a game, ring up the AFL and ask them to delay the game until you get there. Guess what? Shirt happens!

It's the saints

Exactly

Who was suggesting they do? It's being played out in the media. Seriously, some ppl!
