Anyone notice what Dermie said last night?

After JT could that big grab over Boak, Boak tapped Jack on the back almost to say, 'nice mark?'

Hopefully he said, 'See you next year.'

The last thing we need is JT leaving us for Port Adelaide.

    Yeah, or that hack Boak coming to us as a teammate.

    Not that it specifically relates to this topic, but we have been discussing where Melbourne will finish (as a guide to understanding what order we would sit come draft time). Would be interested to hear peoples thoughts. I have not locked in wins against GWS or GC (but for the purposes of this thread I am counting them as winnable to see where we would finish). GC and GWS play eachother and us, so there is some chance of a slide lower than we are now.

    After Saturday, we surely cant finish higher than 3rd last, and there is a slight chance - slight only, that we could finish second last. With that in mind we should be pretty well placed to get one player from another club through a trade of picks if that is what we want to do (out mid first round pick if Viney slips to second round?).

    Also think if we win less than five games there is a chance the AFL will give us a priority pick at the end of the first round. God we stink. 2007=5 wins, 2008=3 wins, 2009=4 wins, 2010=8 wins, 2011=8 wins, 2012=4 wins???. FMD that is 32 wins out of 132 games = 24% winning ratio. (Take away wins against GC, GWS and Port and the ratio would stink far far more).

    Somethings gotta change.

    Can't imagine Boak being too keen to defect to MFC after our performance against Port on the weekend...

    I'd say case closed for Boak to the dees.

    He plays for Port who are also duds and we have proven to be pretty good salesmen in the form of getting Mitch. Also we are in the best position to deal with Port. It might come down either us or Port as Geelong and North can't beat our picks.

    Nothings a waste of time skills when your doing something you love.

    i see you love negativity.

    No not negativity but flogging dead horses and chasing rainbows (which this thread is) are not part of my make up.

    Actually I am more into positivity.

    So why read & post in here then , if all you've got is putdowns. Your an ex moderator, I'd hope for a higher plane from you, than that.

    How far-fetched do you think a 3 way like this would be

    Melb - pick 3 to port

    Port- Boak to geelong

    Geelong - Hawkins to melb

    I would pay pick 3 for hawkins in a heartbeat, pay him the coin we had aside for Cloke and we have filled that hole of having a good contested marker in our forward line.

    No way Geelong will part with Tomahawk when their other big forward is starting to have age catch up with him

    Hawkins is a father /son pick. He wont be traded. I'd rather Boak than Hawkins anyway to be honest. when is this season EVER going to end.

    Offer him 1.1 million over 7 seasons and Hawkins may have a different mindframe about the idea.\

    Even to just stir the pot a bit :P

    Oli, are you just stirring people up? Or have you ever sniffed petrol?

    In your scenario, Geelong gains nothing, and probably go backwards.

    Port get a player & and lose 4 Yrs of development.

    And we pay too much.

    Hope Nth Melb and Geelong into a huge bidding war. Get into it boys and then may the "Oh sh.t" factor of getting the Demons to get rid of a first rounder to facilitate the deal come into play. Still like Caddy myself.

    I don't believe he's going to either of them.

    IMO the cats going over to SA, was a last ditch effort to win him over. Why! Because he's got a better deal.

    IMO Carlton who have said previously they would like a player like him, have. > http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/blues-delay-contract-talks-with-mclean-20120725-22qvk.html

    Could possibly still happen, word is he's looking at leaving Port for Geelong, however the Cats may not be able to offer suitable compensation, unlike Melbourne, and he could slip through to the draft where I don't imagine Neeld would hesitate in taking him and doing away with the old school "gentleman's agreement" allowing players to go to whichever club they prefer.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
