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.

    I'm no expert on forums and the like, but why hasn't this thread been shutdown yet?! Geez, I can't wait til the footy starts and there are proper things to talk about!

    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?

    No, you just whetted our appetites.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
