Holy #%#**$#

All praise Dee-luded... the whole club is reading and waiting... ask the oracle

Whay are you talking about, i'm not a person that does things out of praise seeking, quite the opposite. I only come on here to talk to people & share ideas. And to do the things I believe in.

But I do like appreciation, like anyone.

If thats how it seems, then I'm sorry I've given the wrong impression. I am actually yhe type that will readily go out on a limb, to do the right thing, or to do that which I believe in. So if you think I'm praise chasing, your wrong.

I think I get the feeling that this difference is that I believe the game is totally about the people. And maybe many of you guys think the game is about the players.

Wrong, wrong and wrong again. Sport is about winning and you don't win listening to deluded supporters on internet forums. Give it up it's getting boring.

Sports not about winning, its a social interaction of combatants, who have a need to compete. The winning & losing is a thing bread of maintaining the interest.

Winning at all costs without the moral code, is something that has developed since the 1970's.

So let me get this straight sport is not about winning but it is since the 70's?

By the way when I said sport I was talking professional sport, focusing on AFL.

By the other way, you sir are an idiot.

I just hope David Hale is a band aid to cover up a massive crack. Ben Holland was bought into the club in the same way. Wallis did it with the Tigers as well. After the football department have been so focused on teh goal of building a well rounded team I find it a funny decision. fair enough if we were in teh top six but fact is we are in teh bottom six.

We have 2 holes on our list. A supporting ruckmen to Jamar and a big bodied forward. Which of these do you think Hale covers?

Hale is in all likelihood a two year bandaid (intentionally).

There also weren't any other alternative bandaids hanging off the tree

Could someone please direct me to the topic where I might find some information regarding progress of the David Hale trade wheeling and dealing?

Just checking...are you in any way an employee of the MFC who has been sent to gauge opinion on the David Hale move? If so, mass consensus is divided about 50/50, but it's still a mass consensus either way. If so, We thank you for your time in listening to what we want, as we are certainly more qualified than those paid to make the tough decisions.

801 posts on this pathetic topic.Hale will be going to Hawks or staying at North.We are keeping pick 12,end of story!!!

Brad Scott would be rolling around on the ground Pi$$ing himself if he got Pick 12 for 27 y.o. (start of next season) washed up Hale.

Pick 12 is a 12 year player like Gysberts,not a hack like Hale who'll be lucky to play 3 more years!

Is pick 11 an 11 year player like someone who got picked at 11 also? Just wondering..

Well think what the FD must think of this thread - "what a bunch of [censored] wankers" or words to that effect

One can only hope so.

This thread reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Lisa is explaining to Homer why a rock cannot keep Tigers away even though there were no Tigers in the rock's vicinity.

Deeluded thinks he's the rock!

I love Melbourne supporters...

Everyone keeps going on about pick 12 going to North for Hale but we are not offering pick 12, We are offering pick 32which I personally think is a good deal. Does the change of pick change any ones mind about the value of this trade????

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
