Anyone else feel just a little bit happy that Adelaide lost Kurt Tippet for nothing? I know its a long time ago but losing Scott Thompson after we had nursed him through a few injury riddled seasons really burned me. Particularly as we got nothing in return when he walked out..

Besides I like the word schadenfreude.....

In addition to Bock and Davis? They've been caned in the last three years and I never really begrudged them for taking Thompson anyway. Any karma they they were due I think they've paid and then some.

They didn't take Thompson away.

He asked for a trade to go home IF the club could get one they benefitted from. At the time the deal they got I thought was fair.

As I understand it, a deal hasn't been reached yet with the Swans?

So if they can't come to terms and he decides to nominate for the draft, wouldn't GWS just go "yep, we'll take him"?

Not sure GWS will be suckered like we were on Ball.

Happy to revel any other club's misery regardless, we've sure as hell had enough of it around here.

Are you serious? I feel for Crows supporters.

Bock, Davis, Gunston and now Tippet ? I would be fuming

At the time I wouldn't ordinarily have taken pick 12, but Port Adelaide weren't interested so that severely hampered our ability to get the best deal. With that in mind, Adelaide's offer was fine.

The thing that burns me up is their ability to play finals even when they lose these highly rated players. I want some of that misfortune!

Feel for Crows supporters .

Ya gotta be kidding.

I've already watched them win 2 flags including 1 in a finals series where we smashed them by 52pts.

They are better than 50/50 shot at any SA player that wants to "Go home".

I couldn't give a toss how many players they lose.

100% agreement from me My TD

I hate them with a vengeance.

The only thing that the Tippet episode does to me is put a smile on my face.

Schadenfreude could still prove a useful AFL player....if he can get a clearance from the Bundesliga.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
