I think he'd respond very well to Roos and if we didn't have to pay over the odds in trade we'd gain an attacking, hard-running, long-kicking HBF. He's not Our Sort of Chap, of course.

Walk up start. Honestly, I don't give a stuff how high maintenance he is. Let me ask, would you prefer him to Terlich?

As for you lot saying you wouldn't renew your memberships - get your hand off it.

WTF? "Our sort of chap"? Are you for real?

I would sign Miley Cyrus if it would help us win games. Harry O is a [censored], but beggars can't be choosers.

I just want us to be playing finals footy again.

Maybe our club could welcome him down by getting dressed up in Peter Allen costumes and bashing out "When My Baby".

Harry would love it.

He won't come to us. Remember Terlich and Georgiou Mad Monday.

Trust British paints.......sure can !!

Anyone got any football reasons for passing, or is it all just personal?

Don't like him as a footballer looked okay in a very good side but found out a lot as the Pies fortunes have dipped

Also his personality has somewhat of a bearing on football, unwanted attention brought on the team and the club by this absolute attention seeking princess

As a player my only question would be does he turn the ball over too much and does he get caught going off his man too often? My gut feel is he does but need to see the replays/stats.

Otherwise he seems like he does is very good at zoning off and plenty of run it is just about hitting targets which we need.

Would prefer him coming off half back to anyone else in our side at the moment.

What a ridiculous comment!

Happy winning 10 games in 3 years with the current crew?

Robinson and Harry O would be starting 18 players and might come very, very cheap.

We're hardly in a position to say no to a player like Robinson that averages 20 possessions and a goal a game, and Harry O who provides a lot of what we don't have - run, rebound and a desire to bounce and take the game on out of the back line.

I'll be disappointed if we don't interview both.

You can be starting 18 or you can be players that really take this club forward....now which do you think these 2 are?

I would rather invest in players that are the future of this club or players like Cross who can lead to the future. Neither of these players can do this.

Yep- he has no real skill, just athleticism. Just throws it on the foot with no real target or purpose. We players with foot skills.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Btw, what exactly is a Heretier Lumumba?

Heretia Lumumba is a pathogen acquired by swimming in the Lamumba river, a tributary of the Zambesi. Those afflicted suffer from Grandiosity, Hypersensitivity and Proctalgia fugax. There is no cure.

Quoted from the Chookopedia.

Yes from me - the guy can play and Roos will be on the same page around social responsibility etc . He and Mitch Robinson would help our team on field

Yes definitely for HL. Whoever controls the steering wheel in Demonland must act on some of the rubbish comments in this thread. Pathetic commentary. Pathetic gutter dribble.

Neither are great footballers, neither use the ball well. Harry gets beaten one on one quite often, Robbo is just a hack, neither if we got them should be in our side in two years times.

The fact both a flogs off the field makes it much easier to say no.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
