This is like swapping footy cards with your friends.

This is what Ive been on about for ages. Some seem to think its a swap card game. They like keeping special ones for years too !!! lol

Its Scanlens mentality !!

 

I am not too bothered about picking up Caddy and think that taking someone like Oliver Wines with Viney would be a good move. Josh Toy is a guy that I actually taught and I really rate his character and skill. He is quite versatile and can play in the middle as well as down back. He has not gone well at Gold Coast mostly because he is homesick and because he has been dealing with the aftermath of coming to terms with the loss of his father. I think that he is a solid player, with a great 60 metre pinpoint kick who is much tougher than he has so far let on. He is also very mature and would not rock the boat in terms of the club culture.

We need people who are going to rock the boat culture wise at the mfc.

Josh Toy is obviously not mentaly tough enough for the sport if he gets homesick living on the gc...what happens when we have to play in WA? Does he only make himself available for home games?

Josh Caddy...PSD or hope we get a 2nd round FAcompo pick otherwise no dice

Scott Thompson left the Dees for similar reasons and is fine upstairs.

I am not saying Toy will become what Thompson has become, but let's not leap of a cliff into the Gorge of Specious Conclusions.

Pretty harsh when it was spelt out in the post above he's been coming to terms with the aftermath of losing his father. Pretty rough on a kid forced to move interstate at the age of 17 and leave his grieving family behind.

Your an idiot, homesickness is not based around one week of interstate travel but rather living away from family for 2 years, he only gets to see them every so often! A weekend away playing doesn't make him homesick.

It's pretty hard to deal with your dads death while away from family basically 24/7

What a down right stupid comment!

Why compare living permanently away from friends and family to 4 days away.

Don't rush to re-post.

I think Thompson had shown more than both Toy and Caddy when he left. I was very disappointed as a younger fan to see him go. Even back then i could see how good he was.

Irrelevant to the point I was making.

Noticed a picture on Nathan Jones instagram of him and Petterd, the latter not being in his MFC blazer but in a plain suit, maybe he has been told that he is being let go? Maybe traded to the GC with pick 13 ?

If it were for Caddy that would be a shocking deal

If it were for Caddy that would be a shocking deal

Not if it came with certain caveats...

Will Caddy be the next Morton?????

I agree, I meant if it were for only Caddy. What extras would you think are likely?

Josh Caddy and Suns pick 42 TRADE FOR Demons pick 13 and Ricky Petterd. Get the deal done early.

Caddy is a 20yo, strong bodied mid, with good pace,long kick & loves a goal and with another pre season will be able to step up our midfield.

Add Viney & Caddy & pick 3 and 4 say Toumpas + Mayes or Wines and we have a midfield ... Jones, Trengove, Grimes, Mckenzie, Sylvia, Viney, Caddy, Toumpas, Mayes. Now we are heading in the right direction. Add one or two free agents and bang, we are looking very competitive and on the up.

Yet he does very little on game day. That trade would be a loss for us - how about we use pick 13 on one of Kennedy, Stringer or Wines?

Your a shocking deal

Kennedy , Wines, Garlett or Stringer will all end up better players then Caddy

Please dont use pick 13 on him

Sorry.....I just don't get the love for Caddy on this thread......I think we are better off going for Wines(strong ...head over the ball midfielder)....I have only seen Caddy a few times and he has not impressed me at all....

Your a shocking deal

So you think trading pick 13 and Petterd to Gold Coast for Caddy would be beneficial to us?

If we snag a free agent like Monfries for example then yes. Petterd is finished at the dees and Caddy will become a star

Tell me why you think a guy with two seasons in the system, who at one stage this year picked up 3 disposals in a full game of footy, will be a star. Pick 13 alone would be overs for him and will be much better spent on one of the kids this year, or in a trade involving someone like Wellingham.

No offence - If Gold Coast took that I would be laughing all the way to London. If they didnt take it - I would 100% guarantee you would not have pick 3 in the draft & you would have no Caddy. oh - and you still would have Petterd.

Viney in the second round.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
