Oh boy...Does everyone want to go, or is going to Carlton. They are 'apparently' linked to every single player in the AFL

used to be us...

we're going up in the world

    The challenge for us is to get something for him. I'm amazed that there are a couple of clubs showing interest.

    I can't understand why anyone would give us anything for him when they could just pick him up as a delisted FA costing them nothing trade-wise.

    his manager said he wanted to do the right thing by mfc i.e. trade

    just words but just saying

    Fair enough good on him if true but still don't see us getting much for him.

    Fair enough, but would we use pick 427? :blink::blink::blink::blink::blink:

    I have always been optimistic about this kid, but injuries, poor coches (pre Roos) and the inability to build stamina has really hurt him.

    Hopefully he gets a few good pre seasons at a new club and he can show why he was a pick 17.

    Often he would miss recovery sessions so everybody knew Bleasy liked Sunday Mornings.

    I think he's still contracted for next year, so delisting him is problematic. Doable, but a pain. Much better for all concerned if he's traded.

    Jeez... Some of the post here, really aren't helping us to extract any value? SMH.... Blease is a flashy player, that will definitely attract some interest... Whether you think he can play on not, running down his value probably isn't the smartest idea...

    Maybe one day we could use this site as a weapon... Not today though...

    are you seriously suggesting that we all simultaneously, tacitly, just through ESP, all agree to lie and 'talk up' Blease , with the thought that other clubs' recruiting staff might be reading this thread while negotiating with the MFC for a trade?

    delusions of grandeur and just plain old silliness mate

    Nah he's out of contract.

    nope... I'm merely suggesting that we should all agree to not 'talk him down' while on the cusp of leaving... Recruiters wouldn't be doing their job properly, if they didn't gather all information possible on potential recruits... Why is it crazy to think that they might browse through these pages occasionally, to get a feel for how players are valued among supporters.... If we are all running him down and suggesting we'd take anything in a trade, how does that help our chances of extracting value?

    There's a film out called, I believe, "The fading gigolo".

    Know anything 'bout that ..........?

    I just feel sick that we have another top 20 draft pick leaving the club for nothing of significance in return.

    Morton

    Gysberts

    Cook

    Blease

    Strauss (will be gone)

    It makes me want to cry.

    I for one will be disappointed to lose Blease. I still think he can make it.

    The reports from Casey were pretty damning I thought. He was told what to do, he knew what to do but for one reason or another didn't do it.

    He definitely tried to takle the game on but was at the expense of being seen as selfish. And of course if you cant cover both ways you have no part in Roos' plans I would think.

    A sensible decision. We need to make quick decisions on a bunch of these NQRs. After 5 yrs he could be off on free agency soon in any case ...

    I'm sorry?

    This is a Demons discussion forum, it is not some poorly conceived propaganda tool.

    It's up to Blease to convince people he is a good player, not thousands of supporters. Paul Roos says he hasn't a future here and that is what we are discussing.

    Can't say I disagree with him. He doesn't get enough footy for someone who only affects the game with ball in hand.

    And he is OOC, RM.

    Can't say I'm interested in many of Carlton's players. Or at least, none that could be realistically available.

    Just a pick upgrade, thanks. Cheers.

    Simpson would do me, but for Blease? No chance.

    add Tapscott, Bate, N.Smith, Bell, Molan and Maric (21)

    and it's not just 'for nothing of significance in return' it's the fact that none of them contributed much while they were here

    Bate and Bell about 2 good games each, Morton a good start, that's about it, for 11 first rounders in as many years

    Toumpas and Trengove likely to follow suit

    why do we suck so bad

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
