Bloke at work is convinced the deal's been done with Geelong for Menzel and Mackie.

'Bloke at work' is a moron.

Mackie is considering retirement, best case scenario is one more year, and as if Geelong would give up Menzel now that he's finally got himself right after 4 years on the sidelines.

Good player with one year left in his career combined with the most injury prone (albeit very talented) player in the game doesn't get you one of the top 5 players in the comp.

Never mind the fact that Geelong can have him for free

yes but crows can match the offer and force a trade ...

he will then be on x amount of years at x amount of dollars at the crows.

the only way will be a trade , so look at it this way

melbourne offer a trade of pick 5 ( whatever our first pick is) and player , agreeing to pay whatever is on offer from geelong ( or more) , so crows match it knowing they will get a better pick from us

or he stays at crows , Crows hold all the cards as a RFA , the only way I see otherwise if he gets a monster deal which the crows can't match

could another be Veale ( name ?) deal .....

Nobody has matched a rival club's RFA offer and I doubt Adelaide will be able to pay him anywhere near what Geelong/whoever will offer.

yes true But wasn't there a article about geelong paying 1.2 for 2 years the 400k for next two so it would be 800 per year average and be the max Geelong would pay

as Crows couldn't match the 1.2 but can match the 800k

I do agree with you that its unlikely but that option is there and a smart club could pull it off if needed, food for thought

He will sign with Adelaide and I'll actually be happy about that. I like to see stars remain loyal to their club.

Yeah and means Geelong wont get him for free! God that would [censored] me off if they landed him

If I were a recruiter, I wouldn't be keen to trade for a defender who has seen his best years, and a guy who has had FOUR knee reconstructions.

Nek minnit, 'bloke at work' is Damien Barrett.

doesn't make sense

if they trade then not a fa deal then no fa compo

either scenario they get a first rounder

and.....danger would have to agree

trade seems highly unlikely

Spoke to Brendan McCarthy today while he was shopping in Geelong. Known him a while now.

Two things stuck out from our chat.

He thinks the Dees are 18 months off where the Doggies are at.

When I mentioned Dangerfield. He smiled and said "We're certainly having a crack!".

So why did we beat them convincingly in pre season and again 14 weeks ago.

More arse cake expectation management.

Just win you time serving parasites.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
