Lol what did he say? Because of the "sensitive" nature of all of this we thought we'd only deal with who we thought had enough to get the deal over the line?

That would have been us.

They thought they could keep it in isolation if they only dealt with Bombers? I couldn't see how wanting to come back to Victoria but only on the proviso that it's to your preferred club could do anything but draw attention to it.

Probably would be a mistake to make a play for him next year. He's shown where his heart is. He's a bombers supporter obviously and wants to be around his man Hirdy.

I would want to get to Melbourne if another team drafted me, so I can see where he's coming from.

    FFS - holds as much water as a sieve - reckon you've heard a few explanations like that from the dock Redleg - just before the judge says "Guilty"

    When you don't make an offer, how exactly do you get 'screwed'?

    Cos we should've had Caddy.

    He was practically ours for the taking.

    We had the goods to give up that would equate to a fair deal, and we were willing, but the deal didn't get done.

    I'm not convinced we'll get better, but we could easily get worse.

    If Lenton's comments are to be taken on face value then Caddy (and every other player he manages) should fire him.

    Thought he was totally evasive and pathetic. Would fit right in at Bombers. I would still have a crack at Caddy.

    It means taking pleasure in the misfortune of others.

    A great concept, that is prevalent in footy due to the tribalistic nature of clubs and their supporters.

    I waded out of the MCG waist deep in it on 1 October.

    If we ever have to return all of those words we've borrowed, the English language will cease to exist.

    Cheers, Daisy. I just had a read.

    And I read up on the Saxons and Normans. I'm definitely part Viking from somewhere. And I have an affinity with France.

    Whilst the Normans spoke a very backward version of French they were in fact more ethnically German than French having originally migrated south from Germanic areas before settling in Normandy

    For many centuries in England the language of Court, Government and the Aristocracy was Norman French, but not for the common people

    There is much Viking blood (and words) in the English too

    Most modern English certainly don't share your "affinity" with the French.....LOL

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
