COLLINGWOOD has warned Melbourne there will be financial ramifications if the Demons poach one of the Pies' recruiting figureheads.

Magpies president Eddie McGuire said Melbourne's continued raid on Collingwood staff could cost Melbourne prized sponsorship money, AFL funding, and potential future home Queen's Birthday games.

The Demons have hosted every Queen's Birthday clash against the Pies at the MCG since 1999.

But McGuire said that charitable offering was now under threat after the Herald Sun yesterday revealed the Dees wanted to nab the Pies' national recruiting assistant Jason Taylor.

The respected talent spotter is contracted at Westpac Centre for one more season but has been earmarked as the Demons national recruiting manager.

Taylor would bring the number of ex-Pies at Melbourne to four since last September.

For pinching another staff member, McGuire said he would happily try to hit Melbourne hard in the hip pocket.

"I'll give Melbourne a nice heads-up - keep going after my players and I'll knock off all your sponsors," he said on Triple M.

    I still dislike the guy but Ed is fantastic for the game, and the worst his prior comments have done is to stoke a rivalry between our clubs.

    If he's telling everyone to pass the hat around thats fine by me, as long as he doesn't think we owe him anything.

    I don't care who you barrack for, unless your a real peice of work, you would hate to see what our club has been going through recently.

    A fantastic backtrack & public relations exercise.

    Agree with you there mate. I'll take any bit of good news at the moment though.

    As a side its been great how the club has dealt with everything, Mclardy definately has some ticker.

    Still wish he would [censored] off. We don't want his help.

    Benno I don't want his help either but if he helps galvanize support from the footy fraternity then so be it.

    That's rubbish.

    Neither he nor any other club will do anything to help us.

    It's all PR bull$#@t and because Eddie felt his name hadn't been mentioned for a while.

    Agree. Did Eddie start the ball rolling, how much is he sending across?

    The threat of losing sponsors in exchange for picking up a recruiter who won't waste our picks is a damn fair trade for us.

  • Quote

    We should go after the Collingwood recruiters NOW - Ed can't "knock off" our sponsors if we don't have any anymore!

    And while we're at it, we should go after Brian Cook.

    Throw anything & everything at getting him.

    Not a crazy idea, his job at the cattery is complete and this would be a massive challenge, which IMO may appeal to him

    It had crossed my mind whether this "member of the AFL fraternity" might have done some "misconstruing" recently, as a result of a certain interview.

    Read the recent Herald Sun article on Cook -- he only left West Coast because it all started to go sour and he would never leave Geelong.

    Agree

    I suppose the 4 games he played for us would be not enough carrot

    This Jason Taylor guy must be pretty good if Eddy comes out saying stuff like this. Go for him Dees.

    By the way, has anyone been hearing rumors about troubles down at Pieland?

    No they can't - Demonland is not particularly interested in being sued by the Herald Sun for publishing their private content. If you want to read the HS articles, you'll have to subscribe.

    Just do a Google search on the articles headline and click the link - it should come up with the full article.

    • 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.

      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.
