Not only did we win the whole thing, we tore apart every side we played and our captain lead us all the way. I do, in fact, love the club. You made me cry :D

When they walk down the race I love it when Cotch turns to Graham and says "you ready?" just as they're about to walk into the main room! The roar when they walk in is amazing!

“He’s just a powerful, powerful kid; I used to do one-on-ones with him as a 16-year-old and he would just push me off the ball.
“I’ve never seen a kid run into a pack of six or seven men and come out backwards with the ball . . . it’s not as though he was running through the pack, he would run in like a bull, grab the footy and run out backwards.
“There’s no doubt he’s the best kid I’ve seen play at that age; he’s just a phenomenal talent.”

You read the comments from Jamie Elliott who was Castlemaine’s coach and think how did the Dees get this so horribly wrong although they probably saw the private schoolboys being better picks than the kid who didn't finish school.
What a disaster of a draft for Melbourne.
Not only did they blow picks 1 and 2 they also stuffed up 11 and 18.
 
“Dustin Martin in his own words pre-draft

Strength, skills, ability to read the play and decision-making.

That last response. Classic Dusty, just an honest no BS answer.

Melbourne didn't even talk to him IIRC?

They not only tanked on field.

Could have legitimately got Martin & Scully at 1 & 2, then Talia at 11 and Fyfe at 18.

Lulz.

"He's fiercely loyal, but watching Dion Prestia leave, play in front of huge crowds and win a flag must have made Lynch just a tiny bit jealous".

It would be a complete disaster for GC if he left. Can’t blame him. We probably can’t offer the best deal he’ll attract but hopefully a good enough one and that he gets to play with his mates Prestia and Caddy in front of the best supporters in the country

He's a restricted free agent, not unrestricted. So if GC is willing to match the best offer to keep him, it doesn't matter if we made it or not.

Thats the big difference between a traditional club like ours.Richo could have left for success on a number of occasions.But Loyalty won out because of his standing within the club via his Dad and the attachment he had with us supporters.Lynch maybe just as loyal of a bloke as Richo but the attachment to the club and its supporters is nowhere near the level Richo had.
PS:Hoping that loyalty extends to his mates more than $$$$,s.:D

No club has ever matched an offer and they never will, threats have been made but never carried out which is just a tough man stance to get a better compo pick.

It will eventually happen and the type of player it will happen with will be a marquee player, on a team that absolutely can't afford to lose him for a single first round pick, where they aren't hamstrung by a lack of cap space.
