Starting this because:

a) Can't see any other mention of him

B) He is a FA

c) There is still an hour and a quarter to go

d) I believe in equal opportunity

Don't have any particular comment to make, but.

He has got to be favourite for first player delisted, and will hope the Dogs still have some interest in him in the delisted player free agency period. No club in line to receive a compo pick today would pick him up in the next 70 minutes.

Seems like we are hanging onto our duds until after the trade period in the hope someone will be stupid enough to trade for them or take them as free agency to boost our compensation. Not happening though.

yeah he trys hard, and must be confused about what his role would be in our side.

Good luck to him at his next club or for life after footy. Is guitar playing is mediocre at best so for his sake i hop he gets a go at another club!

Me too there was a couple of years back when he looked the goods.

But alas very average now.

Good luck Bater I will miss your red hair and racking left foot kicks.

I dare say if you were looking for Matthew Bate threads by searching for 'Mathhew Bate' you will inevitably strike out...

Now Now rpfc no one likes a smart arse.

We all make errors.

Well most of us.

Can't say I have really ever been impressed with Matthew Bate. The fact he wasn;t traded last year to the Dogs says something.

A definitely delist and I doubt very much anyone will pick him up.

Should just continue to play for Casey. The VFL is more his speed.

yeah it's a good idea if thats what they're doing, better to wait and see if someone wants them rather than let them go for nothing before this period and have someone get them for nothing. Gotta get whatever we can for them.

Yeah - I thought he looked a real player in his debut years. So much so that I remember these words coming out of my mouth

"You could build a side around Bate" (cringe)

I love Bater but really aren't too proud of this statement now. Please disregard any of my future predictions about players.

Thanks mate - I feel a little bit better.

This is probable worth a thread of its own - "Your worst predictions"

As this is a Bate thread, let me just say that I think the club did him, and itself, a diservice by not letting him go to the bullies for whatever trade.

He was told he was a wanted player, presumably in the mid-field. WTF?

In all likelihood he will now be delisted, and he has played his last game. When he could have a year or 2 extra, and us a rd3? pick.

Just saying. :wacko:

Does anyone else remember I think it was Round 5 2006 v Geelong at the G we started terrible but came back really strong think it was our second win on the trot after being 0-3 and we went on a roll winning 6 or 7 before losing to Meth Coast at Subi with Judd on fire.

That Cats game and for a period there with Bater, Dunn and Jones breaking into the side we had a very good ballance of young and old and Bate looked really good. Shame he never really reached consistent form

Posted

Unfortunate but the reality is Mathew Bate is just not good enough at this level

Posted

MasturBate is too slow.

We watched him this year when he played in the mid-field.

Against players like swan, and Boyd.

He was given the opportunity.

And enough is enough.

The truth hurts.

I would only say this about a Melbourne player on the internet.

I remember Brent Stanton being booed by his Essendon supporters.

Not cool.

Time to go mastur'bate'

Jurrah, Green,Moloney,Rivers,cook,Martin,Bate,Sheehan,Willams and Davis. Out.

Viney,Barry,Dawes,Byrnes,Wines,Pederson,Ray and 3 more draftees In.

Petterd, Morton and Gysberts may be safe.

bate was told by bailey that he wouldnt get a game because they wanted games into Watts (who Bailey saw as a CHF). Bate was then retained by Neeld to play in the midfield. Its been an epic fail for mine and sadly I think the bater wont be a dee next year.

What's your take on Sellar? Pederson coming in as a tall utility and all?

I think he will stay as with Rivers and Marttin gone he is good back up down back,and relief ruck.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
