What

its a huge worry a massive risk

Interesting is being kind We would get run off our feet if that was our bench

Very nice He just looks like a pure 'footballer' We have passed on pure footballers in the past to take skinny project players like Morton, Toumpas and Watts Surely wont make that mistake again

we will play St Kilda in round 1 (just a feeling)

Theres not one club that would offer Jones more than 700k He will get much more $$$ staying with Melbourne

Because the proposed salary was ludicrous yes hes our best player. That doesn't mean you pay him just under a million per season, hes not a game changing superstar

900k per season for Jones? No chance. 4 year deal @ 700k per season seems about right

that is great value if youre a betting man

Jack Grimes better go to kicking school over the summer As of right now I cant even put him in our best 22

same he seems very underwhelming

Robinson has played great footy at AFL level Tapscott hasnt shown a thing

nope hes just another Blease. Strass, Nicholson

pick 40 got us JKH last year, hoping its our lucky number again

if we didnt have Garlett then yes Robinson would walk into our starting midfield

Agreed 100% Sad to see we only got one year out of George but good luck to him, Im sue he taught the boys plenty in that 12 months

pick 6 for Howe holy [censored] i [censored] hate GWS even more now, why did they wait so long? arghhhhhhh

I reckon we held off this trade period knowing whats in store at the end of next sason We will probably have 2 million to splash around on that ridiculous load of talent coming out of contract We may already have a player or 2 committed to us, who knows But either way its imperative we rise up the ladder in 2015 so we can entice free agents Another 4 or 5 win season and we are stuffed again

Could not agree more And i bet the wheels are already in motion

I didnt realize i wrote for afl.com and the herald sun sweet

"Ellis missed the end of the season with a foot injury, which he recently found out was a little more serious than first thought. Although he watched on at the combine wearing his moonboot/" Will fit in perfectly at the MFC

Averaged more possessions than All Australian full back Daniel Talia Frost is not a midfielder, hes a key defender just so you know

we must have close 2 million spare in the cap next season We are all disappointed we didnt land a big fish this trade period but the reality is none were really available We must win close to 10 games and show we are truly on the way up in 2015 and we will land a big fish or 2

1st 18 wins 147.4%

Afl.com.au gave us a B Herald Sun gave us a Distinction

We had a lot of close losses this season if you look at it simplistically and you add Garlett, Lumumba and Hogan into those losses you'd have to say would have won at least a couple more Honestly i think we will be pretty good next season, I know its all doom and gloom after an underwhelming trade period but dont underestimate another preseason for the players under Roos, Stone and Goodwin if we can finally draft an impact player with picks 2 or 3 (or both) it will be huge. And lets face it, we should. Theres no reason why Brayshaw Petracca, or whoever we get cant impact games immediately like Ollie Wines, James Aish, Bontempelli, MacRae etc etc The time for excuses are over, and we have to push for the 8 next season
