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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
