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,

    Howe, Grimes and 2nd round pick for Bennel + 3rd round pick

    Watts and Garland for Redden

    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!

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
