Clark Out Lumumba In is fine by me. With Mitch's foot and head issues, getting a player like Lumumba is more than acceptable IMO. We thought he was gone for nothing a few months back, and Lumumba presents a much safer bet, even if he is a bit of a loon.

Amazing amount of bile here for someone who wanted to take a moral stance about material that was clearly anti-gay. Just because you complain about such discrimination doesn't make you a 'nutter', 'sc

[censored] deal for us. Sorry but it is.

Wait for Clark to rip it up next year.

How so? Clark hasn't played a good game in over 2 years. Lumumba just finished 4th in the B&F at a club that's streets ahead of us.

I would have preferred to keep Clark but the guy is scum and Roos has made the best of a bad situation.

After today, I am fine with having Lamumba for Clark.

Less of a toss er with a stable navicular...

Honestly, that should be how we recruit these days:

Viney: "Nice to meet you kid, got some talent...so if I were to grab you here does it hurt?"

Kid: "Mr Viney, you're hurting my foot!"

Viney: "Aha! p i s s off kid. Next!"

Nasher: Toss er and p i s s o f f censored? If that is foul language then what kind of a country do we live in?

Balme saying it'll go through tomorrow, straight swap

I am making my way out of remote Africa in a few hours and not arriving back in Melbourne ( or in touch with the internet ) until Wednesday evening. I certainly hope that the trade is well and truly done by this time (in addition to the big mega trade and maybe even Frost)! Happy posting everybody until then!

Ah shame, especially given none of the other Australians living over here seem to have any interest in AFL, let alone time to indulge in pre-season rumours on Demonland...

I agree Jaded, we really should be getting a pick of some.description back as well or at least a guy on the fringe at the Cats.

I just don't think we are going to be able to do this. If we were playing NHL 98, Lumumba would be rated around 80-85, Varcoe around 75, and Clark around 90 with a bandaid next to his name. Collingwood are clearly getting the worst player in the deal and I'm sure they've already been kicking up a stink behind closed doors about improving their draft position in this trade if their Beams dealings and past history is anything to go by. I'd love to get an extra pick out of it, but it'd probably be easier if we had a pick in the 30-80 range that could be upgraded rather than just a straight pick in, but we don't.

Let's be realistic here. Collingwood can't wait to be rid of Lumumba here. They have no bargaining power whatsoever and should be happy to take what they are given. Especially given that they need Lumumba off the list to afford Greenwood.

Geelong are not the sort of team to be making speculative player trades. They are keen on Clark because they think he is mentally and physically able to play decent football for them next year. If he plays regularly, and Geelong are seemingly comfortable that he will, he is clearly worth way more than Varcoe.

Geelong need to give us something extra and I hope the club stand firm in demanding a pick.

Amazing that Geelong's announcement has Clark in a Geelong jumper, but ours has Lumumba in a Collingwood jumper. Does anybody at the club have a clue how to promote themselves?

Whos to say hes not out of the country or similar.

They should have got them all to bring their original jumpers, and then just swapped them.

They've been too busy trying to photoshop Danger and Kennedy.

Well, we have Hershey Lumumbles now... The one who will have the last laugh, the one who is blessed the one who is quite mad! But Clark is gone and I no longer have to watch that guy ruin No 11 or the dees and so forth. Welcome Hairy McCleary from Donaldsons Dairy wear the Demons Jumper and play like ya mean it.

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res
