You can't be serious mate

You were 18 once. You can't seriously tell me you haven't matured since then

If we don't pick him up, it's not going to be because of how he acted at school 4 years ago

when we were back in the tom lynch (crows) draft year, I was sentt a pm by a young poster saying lets not draft Lynch, new him at school,,,, he's so arrogant !!

we have to get past this bigotry or bias of this conservative club, if we make mistakes after they're recruited we straiten them up or sack them, simple.

What if a WA afl club has been telling Bennell to act up, & get sacked, so he can get home to WA cheaply ?

What if Jack Darling was advised to get in trouble at a Pub, Pre-Draft, if he doesn't want Mfc to draft him, & he wants to stay in WA?

    I understand and appreciate the "Trengove factor" however there a few blokes on our list that hold no currency and should be shown the door pronto.

    However it its a case of the players at least getting a couple of weeks stress Free R&R then good on the club for allowing them that luxury,

    Garland = FA...

    Yeah, someone mentioned the other day he can still be bundled up in a trade. I'll have a look and see if I can find it.

    Very unlikely - he has to agree. Why would he agree if he can simply go wherever he wants as a RFA?

    We can threaten to match the salary, but if we are trying to trade him - that doesn't make it seem like we are really going to match the salary...

    Technically possible, but undeniably implausible.

    Only if we match the offer. Yet to happen under free agency.

    It can't just happen in a bundle.

    Wonder if Andrew Moore has ever appealed to our recruiting team. Like his size and right now he holds more appeal to me than Jake Melksham.

    Yep, Moore's on my shopping list for the off season. Could be a real valuable utility. In our 22 if you ask me.

    All I have heard this week is that MFC would be mad to get rid of Watts and Howe (AFL 360 Maclure & King and in one paper). At delisting time expect those without currency and out of contract who will not be offered new contracts i.e. Bail, Riley, McKenzie and maybe Terlich as well as the retirees Cross & Jamar, maybe even Hunt onto rookie list to a total of 6 and of. Roos said the other night uncontracted players like Howe can still be negotiating until end of October and of course Garland is a free agent. Any movement of contracted players is a bit more complicated and there are those who want to leave like those at GWS and GC who want to leave and those who don't want to leave like Jack who openly states he wants to stay.

    When did Beams move on from Collingwood? It was really late. I don't expect any major changes at the first announcement and no real surprises

    I think we should take a lot of comfort that we are not leaking players like GWS, Brisbane and Gold Coast.

    In fact most are making a case to stay.

    This would suggest a very positive feeling in the group about the future and a strong bond between the players.

    Hope I'm right.

    as a top up to our list, obviously we won't get 8 A graders, maybe 1, or 2 IF we are very lucky, so I'm happy for him as a replacement of Bail, MJones, or McKenzie,

    Melbourne delists:

    Fitzy

    McKenzie

    Riley

    Bail

    No surprises I guess but always sad a demon player go.

    They did their best in tough circumstances.

    Wish them well.

    That makes at least 6 list changes.

    Don't be ridiculous!

    Absolute spud. Needed to rid our list of him finally!

  • Quote

    Is 11 the maximum we can move on in 1 year??

    No maximum.

    Hardly. Was an athlete with a poor football IQ. Only possible position for him was as a fwd/2nd ruck, but he couldn't ruck and was a useless forward.

    No maximum.

    Toumpas

    Howe

    Garland

    Watts

    Grimes

    Dawes

    Terlich

    M.Jones

    Spenser

    Makes 15 and were done.

    This year or next.

    And the clean out is complete.

    I would still keep Watts, he has upside and possibly plenty of it.

    For mine the sad part is out of the six gone plus 9 I've mentioned, Cross was the best of the lot. That says a lot about why we are where we are. We've clung on for too long blaming everyone but the players themselves.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
