Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Another dud contract…

They have a lot of money now left to spend next season… Richo been front loading as well this season apparently…

Let’s see what new players want to come here to spend it on

Yea they have a war chest , but so do other clubs so it might not be that big of a difference lol

Does anyone know why Taylan may didn't play on the weekend

I tell ya man .. it’s much more through good luck rather than good management that they aren’t stuck paying Galvin a million a year over the next 5 years or whatever the deal was…

So if people trying to find something to hold onto … there is that at least

Unfortunately this was always going to be a transition year.

There are a number of guys not getting resigned in our top 30 currently.

Pray to God they have a plan.

June 30 who we signing ?
And does anyone think we will hear from Richo this week ?
He wants everyone to sign up and become members, attend the games, buy the merchandise and decides to play home games at ComBank for the corporate dollar, all to go towards paying his huge salary, but goes missing in times of need ?

We need a countdown clock for the June 30 deadline

that’s so true , hindsight is easy but seriously if we lost latu & his brothers i would’ve been so much more disappointed. I’m glad the club shot itself in the foot with that one

Serious question, are we the worst run club in the history of professional sport? Must be close! haha

We have released Sullivan (although possibly coming back), Bateman, Klemmer, I Papalii, Galvin and Da Silva whilst signing noone to replace them and wonder why we stink as a club?

Cant make this stuff up.

Whilst most are happy to see the back of them they all would have provided us something and at least some better depth. To replace them with noone is completely destroying your own season.

No one will like this but the reality is we will continue to loose our juniors until we win and win consistently.

We need to give them a reason to stay and future they can see and believe in.

Dose anyone thinks Melbourne retains all of their talent after 3 spoons in a row. Successful clubs can stockpile talent because they are successful.

It's a harsh reality but it's true, until we win consistently get used to them walking out the door ......

And unfortunately the only way to do that is to load up on experience. Build the most experienced top side that you can that can hold their own when your bringing in lesser talents and rookies in to do a job when your suffering injuries. That will filter down.

Fairly easy Api is out for 1 week

So we just chuck anyone in at 9 and it doesn't matter whether we win or lose?

This is our 15th consecutive transition year. I'm pretty sure they don't have plan.

Not everybody thinks this. There are some who think the club hasn’t put a foot wrong.

Forever rebuilding and clearing out deadwood. Ironically most of the deadwood that’s cleared was usually brought into replace the previous deadwood.

At least in years gone by we were clearing out genuine deadwood.

Now we're releasing 20 year olds and some are giving the club a pat on the back.

I’m waiting for the next Wests Tigers only thing to happen which will be Api signs somewhere else for 2027

Yeah specifically not re-signing Paps because we have Tedesco but you get the gist

And Luai takes up the option to leave in Nov

Sometimes it's good to just enjoy the classics. But in all seriousness, we bring someone in to coach, give them the players they can grab that they think will suit them best, then punt the coach and bring new players in that they think will suit them, then punt the coach.
