Hi Guys, for my first ever post I will pass on some inside information. Chris Dawes has no long term medical issues. When injured, he is the most dedicated, determined and professional player in term

So many things I'm tempted to say here, but they've all been said before and it's really not productive. To me this deal would lower the overall mark I give the club for their trading efforts. I guess next year will tell me whether I'm right to think this way or not. Humbug.

Yea and you most likely same time last year said Clarke was an unproven hack up forward and we paid overs.....easy to pick holes from afar isn't it. Why don't we just see how this unfolds and at the very least we have a player who is an automatic walk in to our team. This gives us someone who even when playing poorly has a higher work rate than some of our mid field...it's the most positive off season we have had in years. People need to give their tortured souls a rest!

Why waste time being cynical...we have done that all season in fact many seasons!

Sit back and enjoy the fact we aren't losing games this time of year...

Did you think that about the Mitch Clark deal 12 months ago too?

Chin up mate, chances are we would have wasted the pick anyway......... haha

At least this way we're trying to win games next year............ it's more then likely we wouldn't win as many games in 2013 anyway - at least we are having a crack!!

Time will tell - for the record I am happy to bring Dawes in - lets hope its not a disaster!

We will now have a forward line that is going to finally create a headache for a lot of oppositions in much the same way that Buddy and Roughy were doing at Hawthorn. If things had gone differently, we might have had Jurrah and Clark (which we would have been happy with), but with that forward line we could never be sure to have them both on the park and Jurrah's brilliance only revealed itself occasionally.

If Pedersen comes in as well, how will oppositions manage to contain a line-up comprising the Towers of Power plus Byrnes, Howe, Sylvia and Blease?

Mark Neeld is going to win this club a flag.

Of that, I'm absolutely convinced.

Ron, we still need a midfield and we are about 5 blokes short ATM (a few who play and a few for depth).

FMD, but Neeld is decisive.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
