Melbourne got Bernie Spud Vince on a 4 year deal at the age of 28 and gave up pick 2 for Dom Tyson who has shown nothing.
Misguided, egotistical fools like yourself dragged this club to the pits over the last three decades. Thank stuff your likes have been weeded out.
Bernie Vince at least played 21 games last season for Adelaide.
A Edwards played 9 for North before we traded for him at age 28.
Knights played 5 for Adelaide before we Free Agented him.
Petterd played 4 for Melbourne before delisting.
Stephenson played 8 for Geelong before delisting at age 30.
Gordon, Banfield and Thomas all played no AFL and were all delisted.
When you look at our recruiting over the last couple of years it's a bit much to criticise other clubs for older players like Vince.
The Tyson pick will only be judged by comparison with Josh Kelly in a few years time.
shhesh and here i was thinking melborne did fantastic in the tyson trade.
lets see with all the emotion aside what was that deal
i believe melbopurne recieved dom tyson. a prodigious talent. geez a talent we really wanted maybe we were idiots as well. a bloke who was a number 3 pick who has not struggled with afl footy, no lets be perfectly clear here hes been great when hes been up and going. no hes had some injury issues. so in some deluded minds this means he cant play.
they also recieved pick 9 and used it on who, please enlighten me was it christian salem??? geez a bloke we were all over. but wait hes at melbourne hes now a freaken hack as well. so instead of getting say kelly they get tyson and salem yet somehow this is translated to melbourne traded for hacks.
thats bloody rich when you consider we traded for hampson with what pick was it again.
yeah im happy to have some fun and put my gut feel on the line and suggest melbourne could possibl;y finish above us. they will certainly finish with in a few games .
just to finish ive said all yr and last yr there are a lot of sides within a realistic bulls roar of each other. ive never ever really felt melbourne were as bad talent wise as people were painting them up.
me i dont flow with crowds i have my own views and i raise em.
