If he'd said "I'd love to win a Premiership with Melbourne," people would be whining "OMGWTFBBQ does that mean he'll leave after we win one. I want four premierships what a mummy's boy wanting to go home."

What Trengove stated was absolutely true... he IS starting his AFL career, and he IS starting it with the MFC... how anyone can extrapolate from that, that he is considering moving on, is taking paranoia into previously unchartered territory.

Exactly. Hell, it could be a sign of modesty to suggest that he's not even arrogant enough to assume he'll even be given another contract - with any team.

Is Bryce Gibbs playing for Carlton or Adelaide?

What about Matthew Pavlich, Jonathan Brown, Daniel Kerr, and so on. Most players are professional enough to play for the Club they'te drafted to. Of the rest, enough money will get them to stay. Very few players would just go to the Club that drafted them and say, "you know what, screw you guys, I'm going home," without there being any way to get them to stay.

Just saw the senile old fool sheedy try talk up GWS say what you like about Bailey but thank the lord we didn't get sheedy

Hmmm.....an amazing presence on and off the field? multiple premiership coach?....Yes I could not stand that either.

While I am happy with Bails, he is yet to prove a thing apart from being able to endure the past two seasons and not have a twitch...the proof will come over the next 2 years.

Sheeds deserves way more respect than that and has a created a rivalry, whether concocted or not, with Sydney from nothing. We would love publicity like he brings.

Imagine him talking up the Dees, about the group we have been building...maybe poking fun at the Hawks...Have they missed their chance at multiple flags etc? ( I think not) but it would certainly have many column in the paper talking about us.

what's more important, a little more column space or not having a strange fossil who is well past it developing a bunch of your kids?

did anyone else notice Newman was trying to get something out of Sheedy, to do with a dislike of G.Lyon? It occurred to me that Lyon was on the panel for the job he unsuccessfully applied for. Bails all the way.

That's old news. Lyon and Sheedy have always been prickly with one another.

Sheeds has been so called passed it for 20 years and he has the flags to prove that he can and will be a force again. Not one to count out.

Why would nt you want him developing our kids considering what he did with a few versions of the Baby Bombers?

Sheeds was VERY dirty on the Dees for the perceived 'slight'. ANd as Gaz was on the panel it added fuel to the fire...

I wouldn't have minded sheedy coaching at all. He is still a very wise man, he would have bought in all the assistants he needed, But it just shows how good Bails presentation must have been, who in fact was coached by sheeds anyway!!

I'd say, definately he intended it that way. And Roos is playing along, very poorly, not a good actor is Paul Roos.

Yes, Bails all the way.

Sheeds isn't the fossil, but, newman, sheesh, he's got more preservative in him than 'Tutankhamun'.

He wouldn't need Viagra, but plenty of fillers & botox. http://www.docshop.c...efill-artecoll/

Once we gain some form and have developed a bit more as a side (not necessarily this season), one of the best things we could do is insult a club like collingwood or essendon.

Provoke a bit of hatred in opposition supporters and make us relevant again. Make them hate losing to us and desperate to be there to see their side beat us.

One of the most painful experiences as a dees supporter these days is realizing we hold little relevance to a lot of enemy supporters.

A carefully aimed public barb at Malthouse and the coaching setup with Buckley might do mountains of good.

Or I could be wrong.

Not in my books. I'm sick of other supporters telling me to hang in there coz we have a good list and we will look good in a couple of years. That is just condescending pity. I want them to hate my club, players and supporters so I can just smile and say "must suck to barrack for your mob".

Hated and feared should be the plan that way we know we are on the right track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
