Cameron Bruce (ouch)

Maybe because negotiations are stalling, the GC may not be offering Bruce exactly what he wants and that may not be too different to what Melbourne are offering. therefore, after 2pm today, if they haven't signed him up, they still have to possibility of the remainder of trade week.

I do believe they have traded a pick already (in the Brennan deal I think - not sure if he was uncontracted or not).

From previous posts you have on this matter, it's obvious that you're a Bruce lover, I'm not knocking that, but I replied to a post stating facts, so that people understand how this CAN unfold, not based on a posters personal opinion. I'm not saying it will happen, I'm saying it CAN happen.

Come to think of it, isn't Brennan still contracted ? Fevola looks like staying and they have to free up their cap somehow. Bruce is an uncontracted player is what I'm getting at, it adds up.

like i said theoretically possible, but why when they can do it for free

Brennan is not in uncontracted category. 1/club and that was Rishcitelli (I know, spelling)

Really? It Obvious? Don't know where you got that from. I'm neither a lover nor hater for the record. Cam has his good points and his not so good points. He has given good service to the club.

Listening to trade radio I gathered Brennan has definitely gone to Gc

It could be for a pick though, and not be one of the two "uncontracted players" they are allowed.

Therefore deepthroats mail could be right. The two could well be Fraser & Bruce.

edit: maybe not, it's past 2pm and haven't heard anything....stay tuned.

That wasn't the point of my thread. As previously informed, I stated that so that people that aren't up to speed as much as others can understand the whole story, nbot just that of someone who thinks they know it all.

So, if Brennan was contracted, does that mean they only have picked up 7 uncontracted players? Does this then mean they are 1 short of the 8 that they "wanted"?

He has given us good service, but we are a professional football club, not an RSL.

Pick 5 for Brennan AND Pick 10.

GC: Get Brennan & Pick 10

Brisbane: Get Pick 5.

Yes, this is correct, however hasn't physically been signed off yet.

The absolute chaos at the Brisbane Lions continues...

In the last two years they have lost:

Bradshaw

Henderson

Rischitelli

Brennan

Johnstone

Sherman (is leaving)

Clark (maybe)

Sh!t that's a win for the Lions. Brennan's played one good game his whole career and they get pick 5 out of it. Wow.

Whilst top 5 is better than top 10, they only move up 5 places for Brennan.

They essentially get nothing, other than a slightly better choice.

Of course, it could mean the difference between a Luke Hodge and a Dal Santo.

Both good players, but one is a cut above.

Lions not really getting much in this trade, for my money.

They're also getting Collingwood's compo pick for Fraser, which the Pies are using for Krakouer (as far as I'm aware)

So it's up to the AFL which pick they'll get on top of pick 5.

(It is Hutchy though, so this may turn out to be completely wrong.)

I suppose.

I'd take an upgrade like that though, especially in the top 10.

No need to repeat, but thanks. I am not disputing the fact that Cam is overseas, just that his contract negotiations have been at a stalemate for some time and he has been overeas for at most a few days. There are clearly other issues involved.

I don't think there are any other issues.We have offered him a one year contract- he wants two- no other club seems to want him and if that is the case he accepts one or retires. To me it is as simple as that- and it doesn't matter if he is o/s or not..

Well its now past 2pm and no word on Bruce as an uncontracted GC signing

Does this mean Bruce is re-signing with MFC?

He never was- had NO intention in leaving..none at all.

Yeah, can't see the problem. A mobile phone call makes no difference where he is

[censored] him off

You would have to be joking--he is a current MFC player,a vice captain whom is currently contracted till end of October and you treat a current player whom has played 224 gameswith a track record of AFL Awards: International Rules Series 2002, 2004

Rising Star Nominee 2000Club Awards: Best and fairest 2008

2nd best and fairest 2002, 2006

3rd best and fairest 2009

Best Clubman 2003 Brownlow Votes: 42

And still came 6th in our best & fairest this year.

Agent orange you are the joke- you should have your mouth washed out with agent orange for saying [censored] HIM OFF- we should not tolerate posters lke you inasulting players like this.

Completely Agree JCB and your defence of Bruce and his Club record is more than apt. Poster has been given a warning.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
