Just throwing it out their guys.. i know alot of water has to go under the bridge yet, but if the pies were silly enoughto sack him and we had first pick in the PSD would you be happy for him to come to our club with alot of young players.

I would, it's a PSD pick, not a lot to lose..

Interested to hear what you think?

He has recently signed a new contract with Collingwood so he won't going to the PSD this year.

They cannot sack him unless his actions represent a breach of the new contract which I understand does not have any behavioural conditions.

And if they did sack him, the Pies would have salary cap issues.

If they are going to get rid of him (I doubt that) they will trade him to another Club.

There is no way that I want Didak at my club. I don't care about his football ability; I do care about his ability to undermine the integrity of his football club.

He's a good player but would you want to risk that influence on the culture of our young club?

I feel the culture at MFC is changing, has changed significantly for the better. Once something gets ingrained in a team it takes a long time to change. I don't think the current lot under Bailey will be in a mood to relax once they start winning and get a few goals in front. I'm looking forward to a much more ruthless winning culture. Discipline within the playing group is important, Didak would be a risk imo. But he's too good for Collingwood to let him go, I'm guessing.

Let 'em keep him.

No way, not even for free! We are building a new culture at MFC. History suggests that Didak thumbs his nose at authority / team rules, and is incapable of learning by his mistakes. Imagine the message his recruitment would send to our youngsters!

I think in judging Didak, we should stick to the facts that we know about.

It's not like the Melbourne Footy Club doesn't have it's own characters who participate in stupid activities, and to act like it only happens in Collingwood is not only foolhardy, but naive.

Anything you say about this player, you must be prepared to back up again with if it happens to a Dees player.

FWIW, i agree that they should get rid of him because this is exactly why they have won 1 Premiership in 50 years. All that matters is a bit of onfield ability, with no proper strcuture or culture underneath and if they're serious about rebuilding, they'll delist him.

Here's some non KP players that could play in our mid/forward half.

Which one would we be prepared to drop for Didak.

McLean, Sylvia, Morton, Buckley, Davey, Wonaeamirri, Maric.

IMO not one! Not even Hi-ho.

Stuff Didak!

Of Course they can sack him.. and it is beleived that his new contract has no behavioural conditions, but his existing one still does..

I do agree with you though RR, they would trade him if anything.

Anyway, i was just asking the question, will be interesting to see how it plays out!

I understand the terms of his new contract has superceded his old one.

Even if he his new contract does not start until after the old one finishes, if he is sacked under old contract the terms of his new contract will still apply from the date of its commencement. So the Pies would still be liable for terms of the new contract.

So I doubt sacking him is either legally sensible or commercially responsible.

However we need to watch what happens.

ok this is telling tales out of school, but Didak was spotted out clubbing Saturday night as well. What's happened is tip of the iceberg.

Clubbing is ok, its the trouble that they find themselves in that is not ok.

Ditto. Keep him away from Hi Ho.

Didak's days are numbered.

No. We already have Wonna, Sylvia, Robbo who play small forward. He's overrated and only considering to be such a great player because he plays for the magpies.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
