Nah best give him the eagles. He would fit in with Woosha's rebuilding philosophy of playing past it plodders over youngsters wherever possible.

He would have to go to Essendon first.
Um, he was the steak knives wasn't he? We did okay given Reidy is now starting to turn into a quality defender.
Meds is okay, struggled with his fitness due to injury last year, I reckon he'll come back and be an important part of our finals campaign.
Tarrant is as flighty as the best of them, I loved him at the Pies but he's gone and I don't think we've missed him.

I never made any mention of whether you did ok in the deal or not. Turned out to be a pretty good deal for both clubs.
It was a reference to all the gloating Pies fans were doing back then about how we'd thrown away a superstar. Like I said, we tried to warn you it wouldn't last.

Quickly explain how Solomon worked well?
Traded him in as a top up for a finals assault- then missed the finals 3 straight years - missed 10 games through suspension - then retires due to injuries? And still occupies a spot on your list.
Given the last time we recruited/traded someone into the club over 24+ was 6 years ago and in that time frame Freo has recruited in 8 players in that age bracket - seems the form lies with the purple.

In form and fitness willing he is undoubtedly in our best 22. I hate seeing people being your typical memory selective, short sighted supporter. He's a confidence driven player who has been plagued by injury for the past two seasons, and has struggled to get on top of his game because of the reoccurring effects because of that injury.
He has been playing well in the VFL side, and would have to be pressing for selection once he has strung together a few absolutely dominant performances in the 2s. Only reason he wasn't named as an emergency for the Saints game is because of young Luke Rounds exceptional form in the 2s this season - and it is nothing but a positive for the club that we have such fantastic depth.

We can play this game with any club.
If MM can't extract anymore from Medhurst, no-one can.
Medders will be back in the ones before too long. ( notwithstanding injuries )
Still life left in the 'old' bloke.

Dean Solomon and Mark Johnson say hi
Keplar Bradley and Adam McPhee do too..
Medders only got AA because he played for Collingwood. His season wasn't any better than the ones he turned on at Freo. You just need to realize that 1) He thinks he is a lead up forward 2) he can't travel for shit. Would be a good pickup for a team like the bulldogs with their pinpoint kicking.
Outstanding in 2008 and injured ever since. Foot and ankle injuries are notoriously difficult to manage. He'll be back.
Add that to the fact that Collingwood has the deepest list in the competition, and its obvious to anybody with a brain that you're not going to get a game if you're half-fit and/or your form isnt absolutely top-notch. Medhurst and Fraser in particular - and you can add Davis and possibly Anthony and N Brown to that list - are victims of being 80% fit at a good club with a strong list.

Slight difference - Freo didn't realise they were giving away someone who would have in their top 3 players ever, whereas we knew Mal was good but he was a mercenary who held us to ransom and gave us no choice but to offload him.

Hope so means that MM has reached desperation point again. Medhurst has had his one decent season and now hes displaying the effort and performance hes known for.

Almost as funny as going 20-2 in a season and still failing to win the premiership.
what a stupid thread.
Medhurst is still part of our finals campaign...don't worry about that.
I'd still have him in over Lockyer or Blair comes finals. We are just playing him back into form in the VFL. There is no rush for him to come good, he has 2 months before finals.
His first game back from injury in the VFL was only average, his next game back very productive in terms of possessions and pressure, and last week he was a star booting 3 goals and getting plenty of it.
If he dominates next week, he'll return to the senior side. he still has a role to play.
