Plumbing the depths of journalism

Who cares? Denham extracts the worst hand wringing on this site.

Those who persevere with such a low brow station like SEN deserve what they get.

Dominic Barry would have been no certainty to go in the top half of the draft

Agree. Its hard to pinpoint Barry possible positioning but he was surely no sure bet to be pick 13.

Barry wasn't pick 13 FFS.

Pick 3 and pick 13 in exchange for Hogan, Barry and pick 20.

to fully represent the deal:

Pick 3 and pick 13 and pick 27 in exchange for Hogan, Barry, Viney and pick 20

and you can't really separate any individual aspect of it

Denham has a fair bit of history of making stories up.

Case in point, he wrote a lengthy article early last year during the pre-season that a player (from another melbourne based club) had suffered a serious knee reco and was unlikely to play again. Seeing the coach leave an early breakfast with us to absolutely blast Denham over the fabrication of the story was hilarious. It was pure gold to hear him destroy Denham. Even funnier was hearing him invite Denham to come and see the player play the following day in a practice match.

He also announced on Bartlett's show two years ago that North's Andrew Swallow was going as an uncontracted player to the Suns. And I quote, "Done deal".

Sounds like Matthew Lloyd, D-wayne et al on 3AW yesterday, got their material from the Denham remarks. Repeated the same sentiments, suggesting desperate measures by Neeld, trying a Michael Voss stunt of a couple of years ago, but without the "favourite son" security, Voss had at Brisbane.

Sounded like trying to work up a story, when there is nothing to actually talk about...

Difference with Neeld is he is trying to lift a young list to be competitive.

Voss was trying to lift an old list to a premiership.

The situation isn't even comparable except there is some trading of older players.

Interestingly when Voss did take that tack most commentators talked it up as being a typical courageous Voss type move that had a big chance of working.

It's funny now it didn't work people use it as an example of 'I told you so'. I bet Dwayne and Denham talked Vossy and his recruiting right up lol.

This is actually good. I would rather they stick some boots in now than get carried away saying its going to work. The team players and coaches included will know they need to work hard to earn respect rather than just expecting it all to happen.

Lets see these dees work hard and claw back respect inch by inch united as a team that has experience and capability to have an impact on the comp.

I still reckon Voss pulled a mind-games master-stroke when he declared MFC "the next footy super power."

He knew exactly what he was doing.

you might be quite correct that the thinking was as a result of some form of stroke !! :unsure:

It is true nonetheless that Neeld needs to keep the Board onside.

I like what he seems to be doing, but a couple of these moves need to bring results in 2013

Never heard the them referred to as "lock and load".Pom slang?

Pelican denham goes to press/air with rumours from forums.lazy unprofessional that he is.Have also noticed over the last week supporters

from other clubs questioning his vitriol towards MFC.He is transparent as a no substance imposter.If it wasn't for his 30 min troll sessions on SEN he'd be still licking stamps.

I have it on good authority that his stamp licking is on par with his duct taping,a truly talented individual is Pelican

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag
