Simple answer to this one and it is no. Our club culture isn't strong enough to take on one more loose cannon. Col and Jurrah have been handful enough this year.

No club has a culture strong enough for a bloke in his position, but the real difference is that MFC is one of the clubs that can least afford to take a chance on a culture cancer like him.

With the hard stance our new culture has set i think it is worth the risk.

One year contract see what happens.

If he F*%ks up, he'll know about it quickly, if he does it again he's out.

The reason why people are saying no, is because they are afraid he have a negative influence on some players. Again, Neelds hard line stance stipulates no mediocrity, therefor the players will know whats right and whats not.

I see it like this

Small chance that he will stuff up

if he does he will be out, very quickly

If he doesn't he'll be an asset.

What?

HUGE chance he will stuff up. You'd almost bet on it. Even if he didn't "stuff up", you know his professionalism is lacking and above and beyond this, he's just not a good enough player to worth all that risk.

I can't believe I'm even giving this idea oxygen TBH.

I was on footy trip in Echuca and I met the good old dc, who enlightened me on his whole story, I asked him about the meds and his answer was "yes they were prescription meds, and they were meant to last me a couple weeks, I took all 10 at once" no wonder he didn't wake. He was also pretty confident he would play afl next year in the brief conversation i had with him, and he shouted me a beer, 30 minutes later he was rolling under the Rojo nightclub pool table.

So it's a big yes for me, as he did purchase me a beer so he passed the good bloke test

100% Yes.

It's worth the risk.

We need footballers that can play the game.

We passed on Darling because of so called discipline issues.

I am sick of taking the nice guy path.

Deal with it.

We need players that can play the bloody game. At the moment we don't. We're a laughing stock.

We don't have the liberty to be picking and choosing nice guys from bad guys. Give me footballers.

If he stuffs up monumentally then boot him out and move on.

He'll know the score.

I bet wherever he goes he will be on his absolute best behaviour and be out to prove a point.

He's worth it. Get him.

Moneyball.

It's not like he's Brendan Fevola. He's a dude with potential that convinced Dustin Martin to get smashed and crash with sleeping pills on a training night. Cannot see how anyone could be floating this as a good idea.

You might have the wrong bloke who did the convincing. Nevertheless it aint happening.

Huh???? If he stuffs up he will know about it if he does it again he is out.... You are kidding. He breached more than 3 strikes at the Tigers. He is not only a serial culture sore but is also impacting the disposition of younger players.

It does not matter what stance Neeld takes. It would be no different to Hardwick. And some players dont know right from wrong. .....Connors is one of them.

Moneyball.

No just plain silly.

This is a great post as far as comedic value goes.

That's him alright. Being from Echuca myself its a common sight seeing him having a few brewa enlightening the world of how much of a star he is.

And as much as I'd like seeing a local making it in the big time I'd eat my hat if we picked him up. He is a moron and poison to people around him. He has been involved in countless off field incidents here there and everywhere. A leopard doesn't change his spots and he wont change his.

Also I can't understand the want for him, maybe risk someone who is an a grader but he is a 'just' player. Nothing more. Move on

It's nothing to do with the nice guy approach. This would be plain dumb.

Well, that was silly...

Connors can play and would be a decent player if he'd pull his head out of his butt. Though I just don't think he'd be a good enough player to take such a risk.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
