Wormburner

For some reason i have a lot of faith in this boy.

ATM doesn't even look the same person as the link you provided. I hope you're right (as long as he's on our list at the time).

Reasonable trade as it's like for like.....

Clark is always injured and so is Varcoe.

we're just not used to other club's players saying those words " I want to play for Melbourne".. Bit early for Halloween really

So the Collingwood rumours are true...For him to nominate us, he really is a weird individual then

Interesting photo from AFL journo Matt Thompson:

Ross Lyon methinks?

"Yeah Ross, I want 700k over 7 years. Sure I'm worth every cent. Oh yeah, I'm from the Country so I am soooo loyal"....tug, tug, tug!

Haha, I washed and vaccumed the cars, didn't watch a second. Couldn't give a stuff about the match, so boooooring.

No for me almost in principal....

They're chasing players who we're trying to keep (Frawley and MC) and we take their scraps?

No matter how hard I try, the thought of MC playing for another team makes me feel ill. I really hoped and dreamed he'd be back.

I cannot understand after everything our club has done for him, how he doesn't want to repay the faith and support given.

Relax folks!

"MELBOURNE has moved to lock away co-captain Nathan Jones, opening negotiations to secure him to a long-term deal."

I believe 5 years is being discussed which will take him to his early 30's.

Anyways since you bought it up. Is it coincidental that we're trying to lock away Jones now prior to this trade season. Especially given Roos' comments re free agency and trading people prior to final year of contract, double that with everyone is tradeable comment....

ie Sign on Jones or we'll trade you this year, so we can choose what we get.

Ps I hope not btw.

Frawley pick 3.

My thoughts exactly. Frawley is not worth pick 3 and clubs would have voiced their opposition to this. I think there'll be less angst to pick 3 now that we were knocked back.

Maybe it's the MFCSS, but until I see it I just cannot believe it. Purely because I'm used to our team being the pits where no one wants to play.

You called the Dom Tyson trade very early.

You are up there with GNF as someone with pretty reliable source.

What are you hearing so far? let it slip!

I hope it's that we land Tex. I think I'd rather him than Danger.

IMO we actually didn't do too bad in the guts this year (barring shocking disposals off our half back line), but we had no one to kick it to.

Your constant references to my body are becoming worrying. I explained that touching you on the leg that time was accidental. Let it go Moon.

Get a room you two.

Aren't we at risk of losing Garland to free agency though?

He'll probably go to bloody Geelong too.

Rumour saying he toured mfc with mebourne officials today

I like your rumour....even if it most likely didn't happen.

I'm happy with this....But, I was sorta hoping for either Dew or Kirk.

Oh well, with PR and PJ I have faith in the people making this decision.

Wow!!!! SEN reporting the rumour too.

This was always going to happen. The form of the tribunal is that he will appeal and be let off.

You are a seriously gifted individual GNF.

I think even PJ acknowledged the club was in a fairly good place financially last year. I believe the only debt the club carried was for the buying of licenses for our Pokies. There was a hell of a lot of one off payments to staff last year. He did tweak the structure which was needed but we had a good base.

One thing you need CS for is the foundation heros, the cleaned the debt up and gave the club a chance. They did try to stuff it up but thankfully we landed a good administrator to put us back on track.

Is that you Cameron ?

They were talking about it on SEN tonight. Ox eluded to the fact that Carlton (Malthouse) might use their pick just to force Pies to use their first rounder out of spite.

Classic if it happened.

Not sure if the players would take a 3/4 time spray seriously from Elmo.......

Haha, nah they'd bring in snuffalufacus for that

What were we thinking with Gillies and Brynes - cats must have been shaking their heads in disbelief.

Wonder if Chip has been invited to Cats mad Monday.

Yes

As Roos said in his B&F speech, it's happened let's all move on....

I completely agree with him, I'm sick of feeling sorry and numb about every loss - 2015 on and upwards!

Well Bernie and Dawesy are in Bali with Watts and Trengove. So unless he's in Bali with them, that's more bs.

(Friend of mine saw the four together in bali yesterday)

Ps yeah I know, low blow - just couldn't help myself
