Bring out your trash, good money for scrap we pay the best prices in town.

I'm going to have a calming tablet, if I can find one, then tell myself that this is all just a load of crap and that our football department are really not that stupid and will pull the recruiting coup of the decade out at the last minute.

Rodan and Prismall bwa hahaha

Bex....Bex is better...take a bex and lay down mate !! Itll all be over in a couple of days . Now rest......

Rumour going around that Gysberts to essendon Prismall and a 4th round pick to Melbourne.

Would be disgusted if there was any truth to this. Prismall is a list clogger

No to the Bombers deal, yes to 24 for Stef and Gys. It would kind of sting as I've like both of them (Gys in particular) but the FD seems keen on moving both of them on. But I would be extremely [censored] if we ontraded that for Pedo.

Much as I like Gys I do have to wonder the likelyhood of him getting into our team, especially with Viney and whoever we take with pick 4 coming in.

I don't think Gysberts will go anywhere now that the Cats have lost interest. Unless MFC are offered a late first round or early 2nd round pick and most clubs will consider that too much to pay. Also the list are going to be tight for space in every club as always.

On the upside, if we do keep Jordan, the process and scrutiny he's undergone during this period and the rumoured* low offers for his services should provide a rocket of motivation come pre-season.

Maybe* the FD is actually giving Gys a month long reality check?

*indicates speculation on my behalf and is based on the information I have gleaned from the internet, Stuie.

It looks a good deal but this one will bite. Gysberts will be a star.

This kind of throw away line always gets me

If he will be a star, no questions asked, the FD wouldn't look at

a.) moving him on and

b.) moving him on at what appears to be for bargain basement prices

Surely the FD would have a better idea about a players potential star qualities than we would?

I agree viney12

But remember a previous FD picked Cook at 12

The rumours continue. Now said that he has done medicals at Cats and Blues and that Dons and Lions also interested.

It's both good and bad.

The bad is that 4 FD think he is an AFL quality player.

The good is if there really are 4 bidding for his services we will get a better deal.

Of course, it might all be bunkum.

And yes you are probably correct

I'd go with bunkum.

Not wanting to pot Gysberts but if the Cats really rated him they could have had him for a reasonable pick/swap. Instead they went for Caddy - a young midfield player in many ways similar in style and build to Gysberts who despite playing most of last season could only come 17th in a lowly clubs b&f.

They were prepared to pay a pretty big price for Caddy (too big a price IMO) and could have got Gysberts for possibly a late second round pick. To me their choice to focus on Caddy says a bit about how Gysberts is rated externally.

What's worse? A talented Demon playing the odd game during an unlucky and injury interrupted year who gets turned on by his own teams supporters and has all kinds of BS rumours spread about his attitude by some wanna be Hutchy's who always seem to have an "anonymous" source who is "involved at the club".

What a load of rubbish. This is a good test for Neeld, can he actually coach a player into form and confidence or does he simply ship out anyone that's too much work for him?

It seems stuie that your doing the same thing to the supporters, that your blaming some supporters for doing to Gys.

When the supporters are criticing Gys's work performance, as they may do criticising a politician.

You see, it's not personal, it's judging someones work ethic. Not the person.

And footballers aren't above other humans.

Cause they've never let us down in the past..?

If their judgement is never to be questioned then why have a place like Demonland at all? We can just obligingly bow to their every decision.

I realise it's a bold statement to assert that Gys will be a star, but I'm still making it. I'll be sorry if he is traded at this stage. I'd like to see him go another year after a full pre-season. I also think f we can't get the best out of someone of his proven ability then that's cause for some concern. There is some sort of onus on the coaching staff here. It can't all be heaped on the player.

No, I'm not saying they shouldn't be questioned. But PREVIOUS FDs have let us down. The CURRENT FD hasn't had enough time to do so yet.

I'm more saying it, because lately, every single time a player gets mooted as being traded

"he'll be a dead set star there" "he'll dominate there" etc etc

I've just heard it SO often lately

So many people seem sure that our ex players will be stars elsewhere

Trust in the current FD to weed out excess baggage

They've done a good job so far

EDIT: also,on your last point. Ego and attitude have killed many a "potential stars" career - sometimes it is just attitude

So much linked to Gysberts with nothing solid coming through, he wont go. Time to buy some protein and get massive Gysberts

The Demonland rulebook page one, all out of favour, out of form and injured players should "Bulk Up" to ensure instant form reversal.

I think that's taken from "The Weapon." Isn't that what he tried to do with the bombers?

I find it interesting that everyone wants Gys to bulk up when this is no what the coaches are wanting him to work on. All year we've been hearing them say that he needs to work on his outside running and spread from the contest to go with his ability to extract. That would imply that they don't regard his strength as an issue.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
