Danger will want a big chance of a flag, recruit tex and one other good quality player, hang on to Chip and Hogan and offer him the coin and we might be a chance of luring him home.
People will hate this but this is how i'd shape up for round 1
Dunn Mcdonald Strauss
Terlich Georgiou Grimes
Vince Jones Cross
Kennedy-Harris Watts Blease
Fitzpatrick Frawley Howe
Spencer Trengove Tyson
Michie Gawn Toumpas
Byrnes
I agree, i only consider :Frawley, Garland and Jones to be untouchable, the rest i'd be open to trading for the right offer, i don't include Hogan because he hasn't even played a game
In the next two years we have, Trengove, Frawley, Hogan, Garland, Jones, Howe, Mcdonald, Dunn, Gawn, Blease, Tapscott, Strauss out of contract, i know some are non essential but we wouldn't want to lose too many of that group
Might turn into an absolute stroke of genius, he might settle really well into the role as a forward and it gives the backs a chance to get used to life without Chip just incase he does go
i'm all for the idea of him to start at CHF
I think the thing that's going to make him leave is the prospect of a flag, Hawks and even the tigers have that to offer, we have the money to match any other club, it's about if he is comfortable with our chances of winning a flag in his footy lifetime and most important if he is enjoying his time at the MFC
Not sure i'd go after Mundy, I reckon i'd be looking at Trading to be the answer, we should have another top 5 pick so another Tyson-like trade, i reckon that young fellow from the Giants who wants back to victoria might be a decent target
I actually reckon Ryan Okeefe is one, Vic boy, played under Roos, seemingly out of favour with the swans but he is still playing good footy and i reckon Roos will try and grab him for a year or two
I didn't see that coming, but it is what it is, we have to stay on the reality bus, because we have less games experience than anyone else because we totally mistreated anyone with more than 20 games experience.
Hahaha of course i don't, no melbourne supporter is that silly, but there is hardly any proof he won't play again so perhaps not rushing to the worst case scenario might be worth considering
if they sack Mitch class it would be sillier than hiring Mark Neeld.
Hahaha mate, if Mitch gets back on the field in any sort of capacity then he will get another contract for sure, infact at this stage all we are hearing is that he is fine in terms of his foot, struggling abit with soft tissue injuries but so did richo and has some personal issues, he might play the entire second half of the year yet.
no point jumping the gun
if we don't honour his contract and support him now he won't be interested in having anything to do with us in the future, we need to be about supporting ourselves not being selfish idiots and only thinking about money when there is a human factor involved.
