No truth, yeah look, we're just you know going through the motions but we'll play it one Essendon player at a time and see if we can fit them into our systems and rotatet them through the middle and into the fat side...

 

Without reading this thread I just want to say that I do not want McPhee because he is ugly, and doesn't seem to be a nice person.

In fact, I would say I hated him for those things.

Or...

He is too old and slow and Rivers already does his job better.

But, whatever...

Whose spot in the 18 would you give him?

Exactly.

This was the first and last question I asked myself about him. In all honesty he DOES have some market value, but it's VERY limited, and doesn't suit us. You don't delist operating good players at the wrong end of the age-scale just to pick up OTHER operating good players at the wrong end of the age scale.

A big fat "next."

Similar question: Whose spot in the 18 would you give to MacDonald?

Whoever we take in the PSD, they're going to take the spot of someone.

I just hope it's not McPhee.

Potentially the position that has been left open by the retirement of Wheatley, the inefficiency of Bell and the injury of Strauss. A deep side is a powerful side, lets not forget that. A lot of people are forgetting just how many injuries we will sustain throughout the year, even in the best case scenario. So having flexible players like McDonald, Dunn and Martin possibly not in the starting 22 but in the first line to step in to replace is a huge bonus.

But agreed, McPhee is not for us


I wouldn't give McPhee a second thought.

Ask an Essendon supporter - he is inconsistent and unreliable. He is 27 .. with a history of injuries - and he is holding out for a 3 year contract because he is concerned that he might start to struggle in year 2.

Subject to his training form - and attitude - Thorp has an upside that Mc Phee doesn't

Hoopla I did ask Essendon supporters about McPhee and they don't like him and are happy to see him go.

Good luck crater face

Why are people so unkind ? :lol:

Hey, he's going to Freo. That's enough punishment, don't you think ?

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
