RPFC, have a read of your post, you sound like your straight out of kinda. You sound like an insolent little Brat.

Really?

Maybe I thought that your post about Jamar having no firends amongst the playing group was something akin to kinder speak?

And I am pretty happy with the readbility of my posts.

Insolent? Yes.

A brat? Yes.

Well structured and easy to follow posts and arguments?

It's the most interesting time of the year for me. The only time it gets more interesting is if we were playing in a PF.

No. They didn't think much of him. Imo they didn't think he had It.

I could see he could. But needed some, encouragement, prompting, and maturity.

I hope he thanked you in his AA speech.

Yes - it has to be a net change of -3.

Even without trying to rehome Dunn and Bate, coming up with three outs should be a piece of [censored]. Maric and Wonaeamirri would be delisted with the promise to rookie list the latter. Warnock on to the trade table then delisted if no takers.

You're right though - it's the possibility of trading in players that makes it interesting. It then becomes even more critical that we try and find a home for those other two, and I'd accept pretty much anything in return, including a downgrade of third round picks (Jade Rawlings deal) if we were absolutely desparate. The other option is to delist while in contract, but that one always makes me nervous.

Speak of the devil..........

Joel Macdonald must be in the frame.

I think this guy might have something to say about this. I for one know he has had 40 on his back pretty much since the day jamar came to the dee's.

http://demonland.com...23-the-russian/

Yeah, I copped years of crap for wearing that number on my back, 6/7 years now (4 diffrerent jumpers), with a badge thrown in there for good measure. Friends were buying me drinks and giving me congratulations when he bagged 5 against the blues, I got messages of congratulations when he made the AA team last year. My support has never faltered.

My girlfriend reguarly questions who I love more, her or the big man, I'm very good at changing the course of conversations

We've already delisted one player so only two to go.

As well Robbie I have a gut feeling that Neeld will not make wholesale changes to our list this year.

May want to find out for himself how good the list is.

But look out at the end 2012 if you have not provided the goods.

Having said that tomorrow he will announce 10 delistings

Murphys Law. I agree with you it's not what the previous coach and Demonlanders think it's what he thinks. We are prepared to swap/delist/retire half the players but he may find that with a bit of hard work there are some gems in amongst them.

If any haven't read it already I suggest that you have a look at this.

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/124254/default.aspx

Some have just about written off Maric but he may be something that Neeld sees some value in, perhaps in another area.

Also its supposed to be a very thin draft this year - I wouldn't expect many delistings - a few trades if we can do it - but not many delistings

Im just wondering how much Neeld may already know of this list. Malthouse was onrecord as saying this was the list he would have been interested in, had things been different. So Mick obviously had done some homework and it would be reasonable to assume he 'might' have passed on or indeed discussed in some manner this info with Neeld.

Given the now famouse "gaps " on the board Im inclined to think Neeld had a fair idea of who hes inclined to move on, who to keep...and who might need a closer look.

Traitius Maximus - gone

pick from the following

Maric - delist

Warnock - Trade if he wants out

Wonna - delist/rookie

Bate - Trade if he wants out

I'd do the minimum list changes this off season by most reports this draft doesn't bat deep

I cant see much player movement before free agency and an untainted draft next year.

Posted

Firstly clear out all rookies and start again.

Warnock - Trade

Bate - Trade

Wona - Trade

Morton would have been my first on the list until last week's bombshell two year deal.

Comprimised draft = minimal movement.

joking surely...

I'd keep Nicholson and Evans they showed plenty this year

Lawrence and Johnston we haven't even seen

Having no friends. No I didn't say that.

I think I said that maybe they, the players, didn't believe he, 'Had It'. I think he had plenty of friends.

No, I posted a reply about your childish writings & rantings. Not your spelling.

As far as No1 ticketholder, I was It when the Russian didn't have a friend even amongst the players. So, you'll just have to do your homework young fella.

Fair enough, I can see I used that word, but that wasn't what I was intending to Imply. Poor grammar. (As in Believers).

I was trying to say that No one believed in Him. Sue me, I'm not a Solicitor.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
