Think it'll be Riewoldt for Collingwoods pick 11. No way they get rid of young good players

Arguably it's what they just did!

    I don't know who was talking about it but the thinking behind it if it is true? We have Jamar (going nowhere but I beg to disagree), Gawn, Spenser, Fitzpatrick. Why do we need another ruckman?

    For me, Longer is a huge prospect for the future. I would rate him higher than all the tucks we have.

    I know someone with claimed inside knowledge on Longer. I'm not keen on the deal.

    respectfully I don't agree.

    Nice tweet from Andrew Walker:

    "My short term memory has never been a strength of mine, can't believe I dont remember having a falling out with mick!! #greatjournalism #"

    Further proof of how silly this time of the season can be...

    Are there any other demonlanders out there who are concerned that what with 50,000 players out there (slight exaggeration) going left, right and centre from one club to another and the dees HAVE DONE NOTHING. They are like an inert gas!

    Not concerned in the slightest. There is still 2 weeks to go and it's not as if there have been that many trades up till now. Confident we will get some deals over the line, just need some patience.

    The trade period is [censored] stupid. Why don't they have free agency for the 1st week then trade period the next 2. Surely this is a waste of time and over indulgence by the AFL.

    Theres a perception that because nothing is announced, that we have/are doing nothing.

    Still 2 and a bit weeks to go. Lets not suffer from premature disatisfaction.

    Inert gas can be pretty powerful stuff. Have you not seen Terminator 2?

    I recall there was a lot more activity this time last year?

    Would rather wait a week to land an awesome trade than have a heap of [censored] trades like last year

    Higher than a nip and tuck?

    Or dank?

    A fitting surname if ever there was one.

    Or [censored], or crank, Or tank (not at melbourne) ............... and ...just for you Moonie SPANK!!

    Hope that makes you feel better.

    I posted a few days ago on the rumours about St. Kilda being in trouble and, despite the positive spin the Saints have put on their trading of Ben McEvoy, I can't accept that the trade spells anything else but that they're in a bit of strife.

    So I'll add another rumour to the mill.

    There's another big one to come from St. Kilda in the next few days.

    The saints did put something out saying they would be trading and it would be unpopular

    Somehow I suspect that McEvoy isn't the only one. Considering they said Montagna won't be leaving and everyone knows about Nicky Dal I suggest it is another of their better players. No way is it Jack Steven though, they still need some decent young established players

    Although it sounds like MFC are doing nothing, saying nothing and achieving nothing, I believe this to be far from the truth. I am convinced that they have known for some time what trades they want, who they would trade, and who they are a chance of getting. It is just that the new board, footy dept and coaching panel are running a tight ship with controlled, strategic leaks to this journo, that commentator etc...

    All this speculation and rumour on this thread is just cud-chewing for us who remain at a distance. A bit of fun and rumination.

    • 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.
