    What?!!!
    Someone who is not a speculative draft pick, a VFL superstar or a depth player who can't get a game at another club?
    This cannot stand! I say we go to AAMI Park tonight with loud speakers and put an end to this travesty!

    it's the filth who are pushing him out

    no way they would keep him now

    I agree with the sentiment - that their keenness to be rid of him works in our favour - but if he's contracted then the PSD is not an option is all I'm saying.

    Agreed, which is why Buckley's kind of an idiot. Roos went to great lengths over the last few months to talk up Clark and Frawley. I'm sure behind closed doors he holds very different opinions, but publicly you need to talk up the currency of your players. Works to your advantage in any trades.

    if they insist on overs and no-one deals, what do you think they would do?

    not play him but pay his salary?

    their bargaining position is not so great

    we shouldn't need to pay overs

    Its like the Left and Right Ball situation.... No way known would he even consider us!

    So what does he do says categorically and emphatically .. he will either go to Collingwood or stay outa footy for a year. result

    Collingtoothless got him.

    I think Heritier if not contracted then goes down the same path therefore rejecting each and every other overture, which sounds like what he has exactly done!

    AA Premiership players don't grow on trees!!

    Lumumba is contracted for next year. He cannot go into the PSD. We must do a deal with the Filth, who will most definitely try and screw us. But Paul Roos is a very smart man, do not underestimate his ability to play the game, and Taylor knows first hand how the Filth work.

    Didnt say it WAS a bad thing :)

    Try air-it-yay. He might give a little smile, but he won't snarl.

    And it's curtains for Terlich, IMO.

    Which is why I could never understand why we signed him up so early.

    I did not want him, I think he is well overated and a self righteous [censored].

    But if he plays fo us, I will only bag him three times a week!

    once for every turnover?

    Trade value will depend greatly on where Billy Stretch gets taken.

    If there's no Mitch in the deal, and Billy's taken in the 3rd round, I'd expect it would probably be our 2nd and 4th round picks, for Lumumba and the Pies' 3rd rounder.

    Never been a Huge fan of Harry O, but he can play...

    I just hope he doesn't rabbit on like Ned Flanders every second day!!

    Roos wants him so i am ok with that...All Australian Premiership Player at 27....5 years left...could be a great move.

    At least he is not an injured old Hack...We have had our fair share of those.

    Captain Frank Grimes will now be nervous, as he should be.

  • Quote

    This move helps the midfield & forward line as much as the back line IMO...... Here's a bloke who can run off half back & deliver long to a one on one contest giving the forwards a bloody chance for once by bypassing the midfield completely. I wasn't a fan of Harry O or Lumumba, have always thought he was suspect defensively & a bit overrated, although he's always been better than a number of our own. But I can't shake the feeling Roos will be able to get the best out of this bloke, I'm talking career best form out of him & people will talk about what a genius Roos is for picking him up. Here's hoping I'm right!!

    Harry O played his best football when Maxwell looked after his man.

    He aint a great defender.

    I thought it was the other way around

    still can't believe people, nope sorry, MFC supporters are bagging out a 27 year old All Australian backman that wants, and i stress WANTS to come to our football club. Which i remind you has been and still is the laughing stock of the AFL.
    YOU ACTUALLY HAVE NO [censored] IDEA IF YOU THINK GETTING HIM IS A BAD IDEA.

    Of course a win win would be nice, Malceski Hogan Lumumba half backline would be excellent. (With Tex At FF).

    ill bite, if we play hogan in the back line who is our real ff? lol

    Do some people think he will be played down back? I have heard people suggest it, but i dismissed out pretty quickly.

    He's been a forward for much of his career to date, rated as the best young forward out of the last 2 years drafts (last year).

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
