No actually accurate- is going to become our Ruck coach- doing a fine job in the roll at Casey.

He must have a read up a bit on rucking because he was ordinary at MFC and has little experience in the top level. A bizarre choice indeed.

    since when is Oscar Wilde the infallible font of knowledge?

    I don't think he ever went to a game of football let alone played

    mind you he was a pretty good exponent at sarcasm himself

    Both.

    But sarcastic that Petterd would be going to GC and even moreso that you'd have heard it here first.

    Semantics.

    O well it is a fact- and is doing a very good job.Maybe you can get to a game and see for yourself.

    sylvia to be traded to the hawks as there number one ruckman....

    Right. He has been shoved to the rookie list and has not played senior football for 18 months and we are still paying him contractual wages.

    I guess its better than having him clean the boots of the players while we pay him. And I am not sure how you assess that he is doing a good job. I would not put Jamar's great year to him. Jamar just needed fitness to back up his good games last year. PJ and Spencer really have not progressed. And Fitz and Gawn are too raw.

    His contract is up at the end of October. He will be gone. There must be better options out

    ***Legitimate Rumour Alert***

    Got home from work today and Mother Bear told me that one Cameron Bruce was rumoured to have had contract talks with the Gold Coast Suns. I think she said Channel 7 News reported this?

    Over and out.

    That would definitely not be the end of the world, considering he's 30+, won't be around for our next tilt in 3 years, and doesn't actually play an overly important position on the ground (half back flank/tagger)

    He's be top 5 in our B&F most likely, and considering he is one of our best paid players, we will definitely get at least a late first rounder for him under the current criteria.

    If he did go, and we get a late first rounder, i'd only use it in 2 years time, so a late first round pick is 19, instead of pick 30 something. Also at that time we'll be pushing for top 4, so an ongoing injection of talent will be important

    The funny thing about this thread is that 3 times this season I have made posts of yet to be announced facts of interest. On each occasion the moderator has deleted my comments as they know they are fact not rumour!! Go figure.

    I wouldn't be to disappointed if Brucey went to the Gold Coast, nor would i have any hate towards him for leaving, he has been an outstanding contributer to say the least for this club and if he thought heading north would prolong his career and help his pocket for after footy life then good on him. This would just open a spot for a Gysberts, Tapscott or grimes to play full time in the middle.

    Well said, sir. My thoughts exactly.

    You are dreaming if you think we would get a first round pick as compensation.

    After 2nd round at best.

    GNF, you know well and truly why one of your posts was deleted on one occassion. There was good reason and with best intentions even for you personally, you even recognised this and verified this by thanking me for the deletion. The other two occassions I am unfamiliar with; hence I cannot comment on.

    Ok well here is your chance...

    What were the 3 rumours you posted??

    Cam Bruce, Matty Bate heading to the Suns... With Bate a bigger chance than Bruce...

    With two rounds left for the season we should expect to hear about retirements soon (if any)...give them a chance for a send of game.

    but with more and more cash up for grabs these days players are more incline to continue playing until shown the door....

    so who's a chance for a send off game?

    I 100% agree High Tower, I should not have been giving such details. It could have cost me a close friend. Call it a rush of blood.

    Yesterdays comment about facts being deleted although true is just tounge and check.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
