Now that he is over his injuries and Carlscum are deferring we should welcome him back with open arms

Presuming this is about Brock, I've always maintained that whilst we did very well in that trade I would take him back in a heartbeat... always thought he gave his absolute all to our club during him time here, and I also believe he still has plenty of good footy left in him. However, chances of him wanting to return to the MFC after walking out would probably be next to nil I'm guessing.

Before I opened this I thought to myself 'I bet this will be about Mclean'

Sure enough it was, which resulted in yet another face palm.

No thanks on brock, move on

I am on the fence here.

But, who has played the better footy over the last month? Brock McLean, James Magner or Tom Couch?

Yeah thats not the point in my eyes, the guy walked out. If Tom Scully started playing good footy in his last year of his contract would you want him back?

Which one of them gets to play along side of Judd, Gibbs, Simpson, and Robinson (I hate this guy but yes he is good)?

We need a star(s), not another player who will potentially become a list clogger and not the best midfielder on our list.

The age old quibble about which ordinary player is better than which other ordinary player. As Ben Hur said in another thread: chicken pox or measles?

I'll take none thanks.

The devil (demon) you know.......

Carlton have put off talks until the end of the season. If Neeld wants experienced mature bodies i'd prefer to get Brock back than give a chance to someone who cant get a game in a good AFL list.

Spin it which ever way you want, Mclean is a good AFL player. Not the best, but better than many on our list (based on current age/form)

If we trade away picks 3 4 13 for Brock, Caddy and Boak, and then we draft Viney I will have a seizure.

Quick fix will get us half-way up the ladder and thats it. We need to learn to draft and develop our own stars. I am strongly against going for any existing B grade mids.

Sadly I think the club wouldn't agree with me :(

Let's get Bruce, Ooze and Cheney back as well!

As the Blues Bros said... we're getting the band back together.

We can pass on our draft picks and delist Grimes, Trenners and Frawley to make space on the list.

Now Calm down olisik

That is never going to happen.

We need a combination of young and mature recruits.

The error of young and nothing else is haunting us now and for the next few years.

With luck we will get " a combination of young and mature recruits".

PS I could handle half way up the ladder at present

I would be happy to get Cloke and one of Boak/Caddy/McClean. Maybe a Toumpas, Garlett and Viney.

That would be sweet. All these articles about how we plan on being active though is scary as I would be sad to see a Gysberts or Blease get traded or lose too many draft picks on B grade players.

I don't want to end up a team of brutes with no skill. That would be depressing to watch.

Can it get much more depressing?

I basically agree with you however you have to give something of worth to get what you want unless the player you are after is a free agent.

Unfortunately that is the way it works.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
