This bloke is such an average plodder. Would bring me great joy if Geelong overpaid for him.

He and that other guy who screwed us after we stood by him for so long can fight it out for a spot on the team.....or the bench.

Why not speak the truth. After all there is no way a Fitzpatrick (Mr Integrity #2) run commission will do a thing about it.

spot on.

there is a sanctioned word in my little Blue bound Oxford dictionary, represented by a winking eye; & there's another sanctioned word, represented by a forked blue tongue.

the integrity word is to me, a bit more confusing, ambiguous, & any other adjective you could name... guess we'll have to trust the commission to understand they're meanings then?

can someone please send this to the AFL Commission for me ?

equivocal, ambivalent, open to debate, open to argument, arguable, debatable;

Disappointing approach to his footy this year.

Look at how someone like Danger approaches his game in what may be his last at Adelaide and Ablett in his final year at Geelong. Great players but also professionals getting on with the game.

I honestly don't mind this. Better than him playing when he isn't committed to the club.

That is a two way street - clubs are routinely not committed to players but don't return the respective honesty that Henderson has shown...

Also, players let clubs know they are leaving but that club doesn't make it public. Carlton don't want to win games and so they have released his desire to move on to serve the purpose of losing games.

I don't like the release of information prior to the end of Rd 23. I would punish players, agents, and/or clubs for confirming rumours if I was down at AFL HQ.

So Carlton reckon Henderson, Yarran and Menzel are all worth first round picks. They'd be lucky to get a first round pick for all three in a package deal, let alone individually.

Yarran clearly has a bad attitude, Menzel is always injured and barely gets a touch anyway, and Henderson is probably best as a second or third forward / defender.

Looks like being an interesting trade period 'poita' with Carton & EFC both overvaluing their players...

Simultaneously the clubs with early picks will covet those picks.

It's amazing how the previous year's #1 pick just about automatically becomes less valuable than the following year's actual pick itself! i.e - Paddy McCartin will have less trade value than the #1 pick this year.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
