How can you confirm that when permission has only just been granted for us to formally interview Goodwin?

This is going to be a long thread

Oh wow, haha yeah I don't think faith is fair game, I reckon the AFL might come down pretty hard on this one

Showed some really good flashes, needs to get more involved

Port won't risk a guy like durdin slipping

Probably not, just spitballing, we wouldn't get a star but I think the potential upside of Mitch did get right gives him some value

I don't think the dig was fair, the decision hasn't come off at all but the decision wasn't exactly surprising at the time, it just hasn't worked out, and possibly won't the club needs a serious change of recruiting policy, Geelong have must win their own ball in lights when they go to the draft, we should too, I personally can cop the slightly lower skill level if the player can win his own ball

Offer him to Richmond for Anthony Miles, if it comes of they get a star forward they desperately need, if not we get a quality young mid

If it comes to a trade for Mitch what sort of value would we be expecting for him? i'd hope for a pretty solid player or pick in return

Still betting it's Kirk, his contract with Fremantle is over at the end of next year, 3 years under Ross Lyon, one under Roos to get familiar with the list and club, huge part of the bloods culture, knows the game plan inside-out, he really is the obvious candidate, almost too obvious if anything

He is off his tree if he thinks He will get more than a base salary in 2015

Heard a rumour today that the special assistance PJ asked for was financial assistance to pay the full salary cap, allowing Melbourne to offer the money it has spare for a recruiting spree

I wonder if the AFL has said we are a chance for a PP if we lose both Frawley and Mitch and Roos is hesitant to pass up a potential PP to sign a bloke with Injury and health issues who may not make it back anyway?

Jack Watts... oh wait.

I am about 98% certain we will get Stretch as third rounder, there is a big possibility of players sliding in this draft, no one will bid a first round pick just in case a Hugh Goddard slips down to around the pick 20 mark

I get the feeling the AFL is going to step in here, Clark walking to a top 4 side without us getting a really good compensation would be about the same as pulling down their pants and taking a nice long [censored] all over any ideas of equalisation, we look like losing our two best key position players to top four sides and then the AFL community will turn around and say but it's all your fault for bad drafting.. Clark, Strauss, Blease, Tapscott, Frawley, and any trades, that's five first round picks more than likely leaving the list this year

This is about as convincing as frawley has been this year

Got a feeling this story has a lot to play out yet

Wow .. let's keep in mind this bloke was getting thousands a week from us as well as tons of support and the support has been ongoing Yep he did us a favour ... Wow

It sounds to me like mfc will get first crack at Mitch it he is 100% on coming back

The post by gnf has been screen shotted and posted on a facbook rumour page haha

I have never understood the term " dog act" people use it to suggest someone or something is disloyal, but dogs in general are very loyal anyways... back to the topic

Players association has said if clubs want Mitch they will have to trade with mfc, Based on what we invested in Mitch we will ask a fair bit I reckon

Gnf did say a meeting with mfc it all was going well

Barrett might be taking the fact that other clubs have contacted Mitch and running with it, I can't see how Mitch wouldn't feel he owes the club
