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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
