You are one weird unit. Did you get down on your knees for him at training then?

No I chatted to him about the upcoming draft period, interestingly if you show an interest and ask intelligent questions, you get some good answers and feedback, if you behave like a [censored] like some on here you get treated that way, we were actually chatting about us taking JKH and the Dayle Garlett scenario, we actually got that one right

    The prob is nights like that where if you don't drink the money value doesn't seem as good.

    Interestingly, Mitch posted an Instagram pic yesterday from St Kilda with the caption:

    "perfect day for a recovery swim down at st kilda beach #iphone"

    Make of that what you will (unless of course, he was recycling an old shot).

    Great...now St Kilda are in the mix...

    I'm sure they said a free keg will be on after the North game. If you want to make sure contact the Duke.

    Confirmed. A free keg after the game win or lose.

    Any more mention of the succession plan on the night?

    Anyone considered Gia? Just throwing it out there.

    There's a link with his sister working at the club...

    *cough*

    funny ...it passed by my conciousness also this morning reading of his coaching intentions.

    its often suggested you learn the coaching AWAY from your home.

    As like yourself its probably a fleeting idea...interesting one though perhaps. Not necessarily as the successor ...but as an assistant and see where that leads.

    What did we get right? The only player we took before Garlett in the draft was Salem & JKH is a (private schooled) Melbourne boy...

    Perhaps the 'assistants' role that was being contemplated for Cameron Ling, whatever that was.

    I heard on midday news Gia saving he was starting his coaching career at the Dogs next year.

    Acknowledged we would probably need to move elsewhere in the future but for the next couple of years will be at the Dogs.

    I think we'll see a fair shake of offers like this next season. The Duke are working with the club to build this type of thing up. Decent place, good food, nicely tucked away upstairs, easy to get to etc etc

    ( I'll have a free beer thanks Duke !! lol )

    I'd love to go to one with Todd Viney and Jason Taylor.

    Uhm so we are not chasing ANY free agents???

    Not when it dilutes our compensation for Frawley. Pick 3 vs pick ~60.

    And whilst we keep losing free agents who can land us quite decent compensation, the club will also be hesitant in chasing free agents. Unsuccessful clubs likes ours are not necessarily a popular destination for quality free agents so we lose out twice. We don't want them because of the compo risk and they don't necessarily want to come because we're not a premiership chance.

    Against all that, our club should be bringing in as many quality free agents as we can. The system works against us as each of our better players becomes eligible for free agency. Next year Jones and Garland become eligible (at the end of 2015) Do we not chase free agents if either or both players doesn't re-sign?

    As I see it, whether the rules permit it or not, a club needs to make a play for a quality free agent very early on. Perhaps at least 12 months before the free agents are out of contract.

    We'll continue to act as a feeder club unless we start winning a lot more games ... plus, we somehow need to get some A grade talent into the club to help turn things around.

    it is possible to get around that by utilising a throw away later pick in a quasi trade * if all parties agreeable )

    I'd imagine that does not include delisted FA, and it hardly can at this stage, since no one knows who they are yet.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
