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.

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
