I think there is a strong chance of Didak ending up at demonland next year.

He is a harden senior player with experience, what we need.
However does he fit into our lineup? For one i think he could be a very handy winger.

And before everyone jumps down my throat about the 'rat-pack' etc etc, remember there isn't a 'rat pack' at Melbourne and i feel under Roo's he could add a bit to our side.

Also, the benefit of Didak being delisted is we don't have to give up anything for him.
down-side is that he has been accused of being a 'down hill skier'
thoughts?

    Not the sorta guy we need for mine, injured too often, best is behind him, our recruiting needs to be more than a retirement home for blokes who can't get a gig anywhere else.

    There are a few posters I would willing trade to get Didak on this site.

    Didak would be a Neeld like acquisition. No way.

    Part of collingwoods culture cancer. No thanks.

    Lets start a thread for every delisted player.

    We need experience with a good upside in the 24 to 26 yo age group, no more pensioners for Melbourne.

    Didak is a victim of Buckley’s big head and inability to objectively be the coach of his ex-mate.

    He could be good for another team but I don't think we need him.

    Only positive would be, we'd definitely get Sylvia to sign so he and Did's could get up to mischief again.

    What will he offer? Nothing on the field and only negative influence on culture.

    Not a chance.

    No chance. One of the rat pack with dodgy connections. Doesn't in any way fit the Roos culture criteria. Not a chance that will be compromised. Not a chance!

    Just imaging old man Byrnes and old man Didak in the forward line together....

    B: Dids, hey Dids, kick it to me....

    D: Ehhhhhh?

    B: Kick it to me...

    D: Whatttt?

    B: Over here, I'm over here you old coot

    D: Yes I like beer, but I don't wanna root...

    Jolly will end up at Geelong

    Krakouer at West Coast

    Russell at Adelaide

    and Didak at St Kilda

    None will be at Melbourne...

    Have a look at Roos' record at Sydney. Trouble-makers either change quickly or don't get a game. They even made it difficult for Big Bad Barry to get a game after his Staker hit. There is no way Roos would recruit a culture-poor player like Didak.

    Too little reward for that risk.

    lol

    My response was far too serious.

    Didak?

    lol

    Maurie's Laws of Demonland drafting and trading:

    1. The time taken for a delisted player to be mentioned on Demonland is inversely proportional to their drafting value.

    2. The older they are, the more likely they are to be mentioned.

    3. The more cultural issues they have, the more likely Demonland posters are to want them.

    4. The more injury prone they are, the more Demonland posters think they are a good proposition.

    I can't stand this guy and have no respect for his game in any way shape or form.

    His time is up, he will add nothing to our list from a playing or development perspective.

    He will only hinder the team by taking up a position on the field, leaving someone with a missed opportunity.

    He will not be at the club in 2014 - end of story.

    5. And the more Dland posters want them then the more MFC should offer in trade picks/ money over their actual market value.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
