List Mgmt. 2014 Trade and Free Agency Targets Thread

[The Nostradamus]

Let's keep our eye on Harry Cunningham. BFNAAK. Loves Boomer in particular.

Where did you find out Harry Cunningham was a north supporter?
I Rate him fwiw

 

[King Corey]

Given the closest thing we've got to a draft thread at the moment, apparently Angus Brayshaw is actually a Dockers supporter. Ouch.

To quote both BT and Aristotle at once - "Wowee".

Angus is quickly entering gimp territory. At least it'll help dislike him after his transition to non-North AFL player.

Can only imagine it's because his brother Ben is on our list.

Well then, * the ****!

We seem to have some s**t luck with F/S. Just saying.

Meh I'm over it already.

He wouldn't even qualify under the old rules (50 games) but more importantly doesn't qualify under the more important BFNAAK rules.

So he's just another player.

I like to believe that you're only as bad as your last recruit.

I'm sort of over it myself. The Freo thing was just the door closer in this case.

I wonder what was wrong with Lachlan Fairley? Or what wasn't good enough?

That.

That.

His short-lived bigfooty career probably didn't help either.

Still playing twos for werribee. Thought he would be I'm
The senior side this year but hasn't made that much of impact.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I'd be tempted to get like tapscott from the dees. His development (playing as a lock down forward) has been disgusting. He'd make a good wingman with his kicking if you could de melbournise him

Big if there. Invent a cure for melbournisation and you'll make a mint.

Tapscott would be playing on the wing if he had the fitness or speed required. I think he's a shocking footballer.

His speed as a junior was solid. I can't believe Melbourne have let him get that big no wonder why he can't run out games. If you go back and way his first 10 games you can see that he had a lot of upside

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Blease is another who had heaps of potential

Its an utter disgrace what Melbourne has done to young footballers. An absolute disgrace.

And they demanded a priority last year so they could ruin another one.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

they sure have burned through a few. Gysberts was a major disappointment. Thought we could de-melbournise Watts but he's stuffed now. I think if I was in the top 10 i'd cry if Melbourne called out my name

You think about all the careers ruined and its nearly enough to kick them out of the comp. Shame.

Funny how much for which the name 'Melbourne' excuses you.

Wouldn't begrudge someone that did. It's where young talent has gone to die.

It brings me back to leadership and presence. About a strong culture. To me success defines how strong your culture is. Nothing beats winning. Melbourne has none of that. In its senior group or its recent history. How does a youngster apply himself into methods that a proven AFL footballer needs to achieve success? Weve been struggling with it for a while but the Dees? I struggle to see how theyll get out of this mess. Draft picks arent the answer.

Thoughts on Nathan Jones?

Thoughts on Nathan Jones?

Playing rather well now, even moreso with the addition of Cross and Vince. Has been a lone hand for years. Poor bloke has seen 8 coaches.
