What is going on with Ploughs shirt? -
Delistings/trades at end of the season

Remove the word "possible" with regards to those trades. They need to get done, well at least Howe/Dawes/Grimes to free up cash to put us in a better position. -

According to some on here Tom Boyd is a hack yet our players who have minimum five years behind them are..... -

Viney or Vince as long as he's made accountable. -

Was thinking Swan goes forward a lot, they also have Elliot - Jetta and Blair and Fasalo. Will be interesting to see what happens. -
Paul Roos - don't give us more excuses!
Bombay Airconditioning replied to Soidee's topic in Melbourne Demons
Strongly disagree, I can honestly say I wasn't part of the chorus that kept repeating "look at how much depth we have" in the preseason training threads. I think the limit is 11 and the problem for us we have a few players tied up until the end of next season possibly on big money. Whatever you think of Grimes as a player he is clearly on the out. He isn't part of midfield rotations and has been left out of the side again. An injured Salem still to come back pushes him even further away. I think a fresh start is needed for Jack. Dawes is another one I'd be shopping around to the Lions, not sure how much is left on his hefty contract but it would free up much needed funds to chase the mids we so desperately need. Time to let go of a few players because for what ever reason they haven't worked out. I think we're all in for a few surprises come years end. -

Rileys in there for a reason. Guessing Roos gave him his assignment at the start of the week.I still think we're a massive chance, must maintain intensity and tackling pressure. -

With regards to Michie/Newton/Riley and the like. I think it's only fair that for the remainder of the season they are given a block of games to show their wares similar to Spencer/Gawn rather then in - out - in - out. Other players have been given years all be it under different coaches. -

I know respect is a two way street but the old "clubman" line is wearing thin. -

All comes down to what he's on, if he's on 350-400 ( purely a guess as he was captain and "had potential", because I'm stuffed if I know how we even spend 92.5% of the cap) we need to offload him. Can't have a depth player chewing up that much coin. -

Firstly how much is left on his contract has to be a factor. Secondly is there another VB out there. -
Played 18 games, but if he played for us we'd be full of excuses.

Grimes dropped again, who'd want him and what would we get? To be honest we all thought we had a player when we drafted him. He was Vic Metro captain but for whatever reason you choose to believe he is clearly not part of the coaching groups plans. Yes he's contracted for next year but as we know Goodwin will be part of list management discussions so he doesn't have the luxury of the new coach coming in. Get over the fact he's gone and think about what we can get. -

The logic is simple, we're a chance. -

Rd 1 - win LionsRd 3 - win Saints Rd 4 - win Bombers Rd 5 - win Carlton Rd 8 - win Suns Rd 9 - win North Rd 2 - loss Crows Rd 6 - loss Geelong Rd 7 - loss Richmond They are very beatable. Again we don't come to play each week, we have the luxury of some of our players only trying in certain games they believe that they're a chance and this is one of them. If we match their intensity they're ours. -

Possibly, are we then on trading Gibbs? -

Yes he's named on a 17 man extended bench so yes he still may play. But he's not named as starting, is he part of our midfield rotations? -
For most behinds kicked from set shots?

What Neale is going through is tragic as it would be for anyone suffering from it. But the 22 that run out need to give everything they've got every week. -

I don't read other forums but I would imagine at Carltonland they would be discussing Gibbs/Yarran/Murphy. A bit like our Watts/Grimes/Dawes/Howe. I read that Yarran has been dropped.....again. Should he be traded? To who ? And for what? Also Gibbs would be getting worked over. Hold on you can't trade him, he's a former no.1 pick. That doesn't mean s__t anymore. A couple of weeks ago Carlton played the Lions. In the last qtr their two supposed stars in Gibbs and Murphy stood up, played hard contested footy, lead by example amassing a whopping 4 touches between them. An absolutely disgraceful effort contributing to the Lions winning the game. SOS will make the tough calls at years end as will Roos. It might take a few years but eventually fans might understand clubs did what they're about to do and that's make certain players understand what's required. I personally can't wait.
