Billy, you're wrong about

Wallace was a very good player

His legal action has nothing to do with playing ability

Grinter was a good footballer (not great) but at times played like a thug

Billy you're right about

Rhino is a smatarzz

Rhino is an abusive poster

Cheers

I didn't say his playing ability wasn't of a high standard, I just lost respect for him as a player after the incident. I know that's harsh, but that's how my twisted mind works sometimes! Hang me for it!

Grinter was tough and brutal, I still can't use his name in the Thug category. Maybe I'm a bit biased.

Well if he gets his lad more money , longer contract and a better level of dealings then he's not such an idiot. The filth have shown themselves very shrewd and adept , for the most part, so any besting of them is no mean feat !! Hardly idiotic ?

Cloke senior is a dunce and the Pies know it. He's all huff and puff and will drag negotiations through the media to wind it up but in the end he'll settle for a 2 year deal, a set of steak knives and a bullet proof vest.

Notice he waited until there was 2 hours of trade week left to drop the bombshell? Hardly enough time for a club to formulate a sizeable offer that would make Collingwood stand up and take notice.

Honestly, I would consider taking Cloak.

Why?

I don't understand why people get fixated on someones ability thinking its the be all and end all, and sport players are incapable of improving.

All the people posting here right know who are saying "HE CANT KICK, HE IS A DUD BLA BLA", a couple of years ago if Lynden Dunn was playing for another team, and Melbourne were looking at recruiting him, you would be saying the exact same thing about Dunn like you are for Cloak. Now look at Dunn.

exactly.

We are missing that big bodied Key position forward line player to create a contest, bring the ball to ground and let our crumbing forwards finish it off.

Cloak has proven he can hold his own, he can create a contest, take a great mark - Why not consider?

Dunn has improved out of sight, obviously at the Melbourne FD we have shown him a thing or two, why can't we do the same with Cloak?

At 23 years of age, don't tell me he does not have the years to improve.

Collingwood has been dragging it's feet re Cloke for a while ( 3 months according to some media) They have history of buggering him around hence the acrinomy. Cloke will easily get 3 years if enters the draft. It mightn't look clever or astute of the Clokes but he'll better his current offer from the filth whether with them or elsewhere. Sellers market

I hope he gets back to Richmond where in a poetic justice sense, the balance would be restored.

I have a great distaste of the white anting that went on back in those days of brown paper bags and the league dominated by a select few. The father son should remain strong for the good of the culture of our game.

wonder why that is? inability to kick is an issue. need to draft a forward with the attitude of Neita.

Imagine if David Neitz was 25 right now!! He must look at our up coming side and just think "Yeah" wouldn't he just love to be back out there..... B)

Nieta would kick the Ton with the current midfield (sorry i was dreaming!!)

Maybe the thought of playing for the Tigers was just a step toooooooo far for even the Clokes.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
