Love the fact he is confident to accept the challenge of playing his role to improve a team . Unlike some recently deeparted

    I don't have an issue if we hand over our second rounder (pick 22ish) for LaBamba.

    The bloke has played 200 games, All Australian, premiership player, consistent top 5 in the best and fairest.

    We traded a pick in the mid 20's for Vince and you could argue that the Prince's career has been of the equal to Vince, if not better.

    If only some others shut their mouths. Why you mad Bro?

    Feel free to shut yours.

    Pick 23ish for him...

    Clark compo or nothing.

    Pick 23 is too much for Lumumba, Collingwood want it.

    I think we are waiting on a Clark trade.

    Lumumba is 28 next month, clearly has issues, and is an athlete before footballer - unlike Vince, who will play into his 30's.

    We won't give up 23, Roos isn't silly.

    I don't like the "he has issues" comments people are making about HL. Difference of opinion or communication style doesn't equal "issues".

    In any event, I do agree that pick 23 is too much but a pick in the 30s is about right.

    Didn't he take some time off to deal with some issues?

    He has issues, it is well documented. Has there been a season gone by where Lumumba hasn't put the attention on himself?

    I cannot recall one. Certainly Collingwood are fed up, they are moving him on anyway, so they have no bargaining power, they do not want this guy at their club regardless.

    Clark compo would be about right, like for like.

    Who wouldn't have issues playing for the Filth?

    Pick 23 is clear overs for Prince. He is gifted, but he ain't worth that.

    Geelong's pick 33 I'll be reasonably okay with.

    Would be nice if we could trade 2 or 3 in a Tyson-like trade and use 23 on Hugh Goddard if he could be so good as to slip that far.

    Correct Id really like to hang onto pick 23 as there will be a nice players that slides down to that pick.

    If we are talking about trading what we receive from Geelong, why not deal directly with Collingwood who would also like Mitch in their forward line? Mitch is still contracted on our list until after the trade period (31 October) so to a large extent we hold the cards in relation to HL, Mitch, the Cats and the Pies! Without satisfying us no deal gets done and Mitch and HL could each each find themselves in the PSD where we also hold all the cards!

    Confused. Deals done isn't it? Geelong pick 2 straight to Collingwood.

    He's nominated Geelong and discussions are now with Geelong. Shafting them at this point wouldn't bode well for any future dealings.

    If we can get the three way deal that suits all parties, Collingwood to a lesser extent, then I think that's the ideal outcome.

    The downside is Clark will likely avoid facing a Melbourne home crowd next season. He gets to weasel out. Again.

    the Nixon twitter is definitely him, the bloke is a nutter

    He had some nice things to say about Robbie, including that he played his first game on him

    Not wrong, mate of a mate has him as a facebook friend, and it just gets downright bizzare sometimes

    The Pies want to wipe their hands of Lamumba, Pick 23 is way overs

    The Pies are just being the Pies

    I agree...totally; and I think we are :)

    But I want more than pick 33 for Clark.

    Agree with this. I believe we could get 33 and another pick from Cats for MC with the second one going for Frost.

    That way we get HL and Frost for MC. It is not impossible as Cats are saying he could be a star for them. They have missed on Chip and we can force MC into the draft.

    If he went into the draft, he would get to 33.

    I think we've asked for Geelong's second and third rounders, to use on Lamumba and Frost.

    • 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?
