Saints fell into a hole because of Ross Lyon. Just as Fremantle will fall into a hole in 2 years once they lose their senior blokes.

I agree. Lyon's record is with a ready made list. If Freo don't do it in the next 2 years, they will slide as well.

    Has any other club got more cap space than we do?

    And would they be willing to spend as much on a midfielder as we are willing to pay for Danger?

    Is there a bigger personnel drawcard for him at a rival club than Goodwin and Vince?

    These questions have me optimistic about how things will play out this year, it's a long shot but the MFC is certainly a chance.

    Saints, GC, GWS, Pies and Hawks would be my guess. Remembering it's not the money you have available now but at years end.

    Two things - you won't convince anyone with just the answer, you have to show your work...and I can definitely say that a statement like that will not be the last word on this topic.

    I always thought Fremantle blew their only chance in 2013.

    That's a good question and one that Joel Selwood has shed some light on in and article today. He alludes to the premise that Geelong footy club will not pay out big bucks to a star like PD but as part of a high performing team, shall adjust contracts and payments according to the clubs postion in the competition. It's logical, but hardly the way FA is working.

    The question is; will the Dee's be the equal of Geelong by the end of 2015? Will there be enough attraction for PD to return to Vic for a premiership tilt with ......?

    I don't believe FA is all about premiership tilts.

    Goddard, Dal Santo and Daisy didn't walk out on their previous clubs for a legitimate flag contender. They walked for money.

    This club can afford to offer a much more lucrative salary than any other club, which gives Patrick 3 options:

    A) Stay at Adelaide for a possible long-term premiership

    B) Move to a legitimate premiership contender for considerably less dollars than market value

    C) Get the "marquee" money overs here for a possible long-term premiership

    I would say that Goddard and Del both went for what they thought were premiership tilts. The bombers blew up on Goddard and Del is still in the race but I can't see him getting there.

    Daisy got a great offer to join his mentor. The delusional Carlton people would have you believe they are a legitimate contender, I would say that is for the spoon....

    I don't know if we can offer more money than other clubs but wouldn't want to anyway.

    For what has been an unsuccessful period at least we've had some entertaining forwards - Robertson, Howe, Jurrah, Farmer......seen some great marks taken.

    bit harsh on robbo and the wiz - both played finals in their time at the dees, at least saw some level of success.

    well, far more than any other player over the last seven seasons.

    Both played in a grand final, no less.

    Geelong broke their own rule of capping stars at 500k a year when they resigned Harry Taylor and I wouldn't be surprised to see them do it again. Their list has changed a lot since winning 3 flags.

    They are on the slide.

    Balmey was the best footy manager in the comp but the team is full of old stars and young talent . Not many 25 to 28 year olds.

    Agreed. I think they'll continue to make the finals for the foreseeable future, but I can't see them winning it again for a while.

    How terrible for Geelong to only make the finals over the next 10 yrs or so, perhaps top 4. I feel very sorry for them.

    I still remember Wright, Jacovitch and Jacko. Makes me think that we have had some of the most entertaining forwards in the AFL (even aside from the highly talented trio of Lyon, Neitz and Schwartz)!

    And so it turns out that Dangerfield's father is on Adelaide's payroll.......

    And from the same article another interesting tidbit about you know who...Greater Western Sydney were forced to put roof tiler Phil Scully’s $680,000 six-year contract as a recruiter in the salary cap after he was offered a deal 12 months before his son, Tom, signed on.

    I had never realised it was 12months before that lying cheating scumbag left us....

    As much as I would love Dangerfield at the Dees he will come at a very hefty price (predicted $1.2 M a season).

    Instead I would prefer to see us target and obtain two of S.Selwood (FA), J.Steven (FA), R.Sloane (trade).

    Expect the Hawks to be in the deal,big time, they will do anything to extend their reign at the top I think.

    Is there anything wrong with that Earl?

    I would also like to make sure that we have enough to lock Hogan up to a good deal for 2017 and beyond before season 2016 kicks off.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
