Melbourne should already be a strong team. Can't believe they have avoided scrutiny over their slow progress.

You would think if we were going to make a big play in this period we will hear about it in the next few hours.

If they don't make the 8 they have failed again with all the good players they have received over the years.

I agree - pathetic they didn't make it this year, and if they dont next year then its an utter disgrace

The reality is that they should be thinking top 4 and nothing less

Trade Radio are speculating that Essendon are poised for an announcement.

Tony Cochrane is a master negotiator. Absolutely love the stand he is taking against Hawthorn.

Everything he said was spot on. Good luck to him.

I would love nothing more than the Hawks missing JOM after paying overs for pick 10.

Then other clubs should swoop in and see if they can grab him.

Would it surprise anyone if they missed the eight. As the reigning premiers (Ta-da!) I feel we are in the ideal position (that top for anyone who missed it) to lecture other clubs about their shortcomings and the Dees just haven't got it.

Actually they seem to have put the right parts in place for once. The fundamentals of a very good team are there, they should have really done much better this year.

Yep. They ought to have done much better this year.

And giving a couple of club legends the sarse.

If JOM went to the draft like Luke Ball did I wonder where he'd end up? Big risk to take him in the top 3 but maybe he'd slip to the Suns at pick 8?

He can put a price/salary on his head, to scare clubs off. If he had an understanding with the Hawks, he might slip to 10. But I'd like to think that a lot of Vic clubs will start to get into his management and GCS.

I think the Sun would grab him at 8.

I dont think he can put himself in the draft he would need to be delisted which they won't do. I think they'll go to Essendon first. If he is not picked up by Hawthorn he can nominate for the preseason draft but not the national one.

This whole JOM thing is hilarious watching. The things clubs will do for a kid who hasn't played for two years.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016

The AFL consistently put in concepts to help clubs and yet some of these clubs them exploit them beyond the realms of what they were designed for. COLA was a good concept except clubs used the money to acquire top end talent rather than make it a bit easier on players who were on well below the average as it was designed for. Points for academy players seemed a good idea but once again got exploited. Free agency and contracted players have been ruined by childish players who pick and choose which clubs they want to go to or wanting to break contracts. Now we have a team wrecking the trade period and creating an unbalanced competition.

But yes, good on them.

You are spot on.

COLA should still be in play, it just should be handled by the AFL.

Melbourne will be a lot better , Goodwin is a more attacking coach than Roos and with Roos gone he will have complete control, dont be mistaken they will be a lot different side under him.
