It looks like the suns are struggling with “we want a player” so maybe if we leave negotiations for a couple of days and see if they can consult someone to help them understand that “player” is not the same as “picks in a rubbish draft”

Darren burgess played a pretty big role as well

I think there is going to be a lot more negotiation around how much the MFC pay of his wage than there is about the trade return.

Oh have a cry. He played a key role in delivering our first flag in 57 years that alone is more than you and all other fake internet tough guys combined.

Absolutely has to be stated that if the Suns think Flanders is worth pick 7, Petracca is worth 6 top 10 picks.

I'll tell you what is infinitely more immature and ridiculous than what Clarry did in that video pretending he isn't a MFC legend just because he's leaving and clearly upset about how it's happened 205 games premiership player 3 x All Australian 2 x AFLCA player of the year 4 x club best and fairest He has earned the respect of all real MFC fans.

It's time to go Steven King thread?

Yes. Clayton Oliver is without a doubt a Melbourne legend.

Bahahahha i love this meltdown for Clarry

Humphrey is a dud and i never rated him. Just getting in early. Back to my hunt for the leaker.

I for one never rated or like Trac, i think Tim Lamb should be sacked for his ridiculous chat. @Jaded No More don't even think about digging up the receipts that are no doubt there.

This off season is nuts haha.

given Josh Jenkins has zero links to either club or the situation i would say his opinion means about as much to me as a discarded bowel movement.

Here is the problem. We slid a picture of Bailey Humphrey across the table, and this picture of Jake Rogers isn't the same guy. Try again suns.

I completely agree, i think todays meeting would have been a lot about the MFC setting an asking price as well, which i am sure would be something along the lines of a really good player and a top 10 pick.

we're so toxic Kozzie just committed his football career to us.

Oh it's not required, women don't talk to me. i spend too much time listening to trade radio and arguing on forums.

I also have posters of Kane Cornes on my wall.

If he was good enough we wouldn't have needed to play Rivers, Bowey, Salem and Windsor who we'd love further up the ground, at half back.

He's not the first player to sook because he wants to play a role that brings more individual glory but isn't quite good enough compared to the other options.

I think WJ is referring to the deals that might be offered rather than the decision to trade Trac overall. We're clearly very happy to move Trac on, but as WJ points out, we've got the whip hand and can say no, so while the Suns might not like to trade someone like Bailey Humphrey, they might have to if they wanna get the deal done.

I still think north Melbourne will come late for Steven may.

I agree he was never going anywhere. I still laugh about Sam McClure smug face reporting the meeting and not realise Carlton were being used for contract negotiations leverage haha But what I’ll stand by strongly is 17/17 other clubs would have signed Clayton Oliver at the same time we did to the same or a bigger deal given the opportunity. Yes the contract looks bad but everyone understood back then. I don’t like huge contracts anyways, I think anything beyond 5 years is irresponsible from a club perspective but the way the market works now they have no real choice

Oh right so does Judd want out because the players rule the roost or is he unhappy with his role? In my mind it’s fairly obvious that Judd is at least 5th in line for the role he wants at Melbourne and 3/4 ahead of him are similar age in bowey, Windsor and rivers It’s sad to see the kid leave but if he’s crying because he can’t get his preferred role without earning it by being better than those guys, he’s not a team player in my mind and someone that isn’t going to be part of what the Melbourne footy club is wanting to build.

In fairness to us he did legitimately meet with David Teague and patty Cripps at the time, probably to leverage his 7 year deal but the interest was there. I get frustrated with Kane Cornes knocking us for this deal. Clarry was flying at the time. We were winning, he was as consistently in the Brownlow mix, on track to be one of the greatest demons ever and 17 clubs would have signed him to the exact same deal given the chance. It isn’t an ideal situation now, but lots of players have really significant off fiend challenges and no one cares if they’re playing well. The reality of AFL footy is the AFLPA have skewed the rules so far in favour of players not clubs that all clubs, especially smaller clubs like Melbourne have to offer big money long term deals to sign anyone. Like Clarry isn’t going to knock back 8 years at Geelong and sign 3 years at Melbourne.
