Thank God that trade didn't happen

FMD. I hardly use the hysteria on Ology as representative of much. And we all know the reason why the trade did not proceed. Supporters with half an IQ were staggered why a fringe player Was allowed to hold the club to ransom for a deal for a far better player.The club appear to meekly accept this when it was clear at that time Sewell was a better proposition.

    That really is the point.

    Ferg should have been told he would not be playing much senior football if he stayed, but he emphatically said he did not want to go, and Neale D copped it.

    And he stayed. And he did not play much senior football.

    A failure to communicate.

    Sewell wasn't getting a game at the time and looked bog ordinary. I had no strong opinion either way at the time as I didn't rate either player, but I'd be amazed if there were too many people who were strongly in favour of the trade. It looked like a Ben Nelson for David Gallagher trade at the time I thought.

    Best On Ground ordinary?

    Don't worry, I'm only joking...

    Surely someone on Demonland bemoaned the fact that St Kilda managed to get Andrew Lovett arguing he was exactly the player that we needed at that time. Probably a good one to have avoided. Similarly, Lawrence (was that his first name?) Angwin when he went to Carlton.

    You'd find the same type of response here, sadly the data is no longer available, but just continue to type BS and act like it was fact.

    I did a disservice to TGR comparing you to him, he at least knows a bit about footy. From what I have seen of your posts and moderating 'skills' you are more like Demonlands RRE.

    Well, Northy's FD were right, he wasn't part of our next premiership side.

    he was part of Carlscum's next Flag team. It made me feel sad.

    I was a big fan of the Earl.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
