Why we didn't take Bradshaw?

I would have entertained Bradshaw to fill the void in the forward line until our younger recruits were ready. He clearly stated he wanted to return to Victoria. The Swans offered him THREE years and he's 31, not to mention decent coin. End of consideration.

    drafting bradshw would have been a back would step

    No disrespect VHB...

    But Jesus. I've seen some corkers on here, and have read "all-intensive-purposes" more times than I care to remember, but this takes the cake.

    hahahaha I did notice a few words were invented over the course of trade week and the National Draft...

    I meant to keep a list cos there were a few absolute pearlers...

    Before worrying about "back would" maybe he should work on mastering the art of forming separate sentences.

    The fact that he had zero interest in playing for us didn't help.

    The only thing here that deserves some thought is that some people here think that taking Bradshaw deserved some thought.

    How dare you?!

    How can you sit there and belittle the inane chatter and pointless threads that make up Demonland in the off-season?

    Bradshaw is a Swan. So what?! In the alternate dimension on Fringe, he might be a Demon. Ever thought about that?

    And..and it is socially implored that we celebrate birthdays. Hence the thread dedicated to Max Gawn turning 18.

    And a person's VCE score is absolutely...OK, it's pointless and no-one has anything useful or relevant to post.

    But you don't have to point that out...

    Because that's rude.

    Training photos and reports in Jan are probably the next thing to look forward to - especially the pics. Then we can at least crap on a bit about body shape and development etc. In the mean time, either content yourself with what is on offer or sign up as a Melbourne Victory member and start watching the soccer.

    I'll get in early with

    'Dunny looks huge'.

    'Morton looks harder but still needs to eat some steak'

    'How ripped is Moloney!'

    and

    'Jurrah looks taller, don't you think Jurrah looks taller in these photo's than he did last year. Look, he's standing next to Gawn in this photo and only looks about 17cm shorter, not 19cm. I reckon we should play him as a classic key forward.'

    Did I just ruin the surprises?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
