I don't think this is the case. WCE offered Lynch only one year, he has also struggled to cement a spot in their forward line. I think he is leaving for opportunity and length of contract, not $$$.

I agree.

How has he struggled to cement a spot? He's played 24 games in 2011 & 21 games in 2012

I think many people are somewhat bedazzled by the achievements of the Sydney Swans and their recruiting people and are automatically assuming that we can just go out and do the same thing. Some even t

Interesting - it seems odd to suggest that they were after none of them.After all the ho-ha about how we are going to go after players, who exactly is left when you take out that top tier? Surely the

I think Gonzo is trying to say that Lynch would struggle to get a game in a full fit Weagles outfit

Kennedy, Darling, Nic Nat/Cox, Frenchman, etc plus the crumbing forwards and resting mids would make it hard for Lynch to fit in - Plus he's getting old the big Q stick

It supprises me that we havent targetted any of the big names, as i presumed that thats why we fundrasied for a 'warchest' & made room on our list by pushing out Green, Moloney (+ Rivers?).

What was their reason for not going after Tippet.

I get all the other ones, but Tippet would be a great fit. He is only 25 and he is a big bodied forward.

If we don't at least inquire about his price it's a joke. If he ends up at GC then we know money won out and that would [censored] me off, because we too can offer him buckets of cash plus the chance to play on the G every week.

I spoke to Tim Harrington at the Demolition Dinner and he said that they rang Tippett last year and he agreed to come over and talk to us mainly because of his respect for Craig. He then rang back a little later and said that he was sorry but he just didn't want to live in Melbourne and he said he wouldn't be coming over, it's as simple as that.

How things change in a year if the rumours are true! I have a sneaking suspision we are all over him. Lynch is probably to old where as tippett at 25 is ideal.

Well our friend seems to have had a change of heart.

Respect for Craig + 5 year deal worth $5mil* = happiness for all.

Bit like Cam Bruce, it was more about extending his time in the game than the money.

The trouble is he was struggling to get a game over there and you have to wonder if the game has passed him by.

I agree however where we're at I think it would have benefited us to have someone like him for a year or two until we can get someone else in (hopefully Hogan). Not gonna happen now though obviously.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
