He posted it in Nugget's thread, clearly he wasn't the first.

He posted it with a certainty, and with allusions to something greater...

As all good stortytellers do...

I tell you what, if Davey goes, we will be living out a Stephen King novel...

They're usually pretty long though.

We probably won't know for a while.

It might be an M. Night twist where we find out it was the trees that traded McLean and wanted to trade Davey but Mark Wahlberg stepped in and 'acted' his way out of it.

Real shame...

Well, at least he doesn't rap anymore...

Good vibrations is still one of my favourite songs.

I'm pretty sure that statement was number 4 on the "Don't Do" list in 'How To Win Friends And Impress People'...

You just gone down a rung 45HG16...

I might get shouted down for this, and i stress that i am confident the club will retain Davey, but if there is a situation where he wants to leave we really need to have a good look at Bailey. Now i'm a fan of his, have been from the moment he set foot in the place, but if Davey walks then questions need to be asked about Bailey's methods with the boys because it doesn't matter how good you are tactically or development wise, if you don't have the players on your side what good are you?

I stress again that this is if Davey is asked to be traded, i am taking all this talk with a grain of salt, and i'm still reeling from the news that Chooka is leaving (and the fact that he's gone to Carlton makes it that much worse).

FWIW i don't think Davey would want to leave, he's been handed the role of leader of the Indigenous boys at the club, he's been acting as a mentor and friend to Jurrah and Aussie, both whom have from very difficult circumstances, and IMO he will be given the captain next year and more importantly the reigns as we make our rise the ladder and eventually challenge for the premiership. If it comes down to it, do what you have to retain him Melbourne, he is too important to let go.

And just a quick hypothetical to finish off, just say he does decide to leave we can say," fine walk out, we'll just pick you up in the PSD" can't we? Because that is an option, albeit not the greatest.

Agreed. If - and it is a big if at the moment - we lose 2 of the senior clubman then big questions need to be asked but I'll wait and see what happens for the moment.

And just a quick hypothetical to finish off, just say he does decide to leave we can say," fine walk out, we'll just pick you up in the PSD" can't we? Because that is an option, albeit not the greatest.

Good question and one I've asked in a couple of places but I'm yet to hear a good answer.

At the very least, having pick 1 in the PSD should ensure that if Davey has indeed cracked the sads and wants to leave, that we are adequately compensated via trade.

I know as a fact that Miller wants to leave. If we can trade him we will. May get a pick about 30 for him.

Davey is not going anywhere. He is very tight with the brothers, he is very happy at our club and he is likely to be the next captain of the club. He has set up a Northern Territory scholarship with the MFC. He is not about to walk out on Wonna, Jarrah, Jetta, Bennell and the MFC. The MFC has been his family. Just because he has yet to sign a new contract does not mean he wants to leave.

I believe we are a good chance of picking up Burgoyne in the PSD as Hawthorn will need to bend over backwards in trade terms and salary cap terms to get him. I also believe we are in a great position to go for Awyan and/or Lovett with our picks this year.

No Miller, Davey stays, Burgoyne in the PSD and a shot a Jnr Davey? Apart from the Lovett bit it sounds good and I like to be an optimist at this time of year.

Miller and Valenti to Sydney for Pick 22.

Pick 9 and Ladson to Port for Burgoyne to Hawks.

Davey staying home.

Pick 22 and Dunn to Essendon for Davey.

Coach indicted on a rumour. Great stuff fellas.

It is my experience that footy players only like honesty from their coach if it is positive.

Any grumblings from the playing group don't make me want to fire the coach, they make me want to tell Jim to fire a rocket at them.

Well this is what I would think. But I would also have looked to McLean's $10,000 out of pocket donation as proof that he would not want to leave Melbourne. So I don't know what to think anymore.

Put it this way: if Davey goes, and cites a lack of direction/game plan/problems with Bailey as reasons, how will you feel? I would have to try hard to stop myself from apportioning the blame entirely on Bailey.

Trust me Mclean was pushed.

Please read my post #382 in the McLean thread.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
