At the start of the year, i wouldn't have minded us going after him, but the way he has conducted himself (particularly in the second half) this year really shows how poor his attitude is. Keep away from him.

how would you behave idf the club has been a [censored] to its players & people such as MnM, yarran, hendo, stuffing them around & then spend a whole season tanking, & doing all it can to derail they're own season.

if you were up for contract & considering moving, then your club tanks the 3rd last game of the season, against the lowest club, so they can get the first pick, would you tell them you pizzing off...

If I was Hendo, I would have told them as well, so there's no chance i can do an ACL, in the remaining games, before getting a new contract elsewhere.

The poor bloke got traded from the Lions, in the Fev deal; without any real say for his hopes & desires, then gets sent to the price-fixers, who start to tank, & against his old club who were on the bottom, the tankers get devoured by the Lions.

i would be really pizza d off myself, & outa there.

I don't have an issue with him telling the club he wants out, in fact i think it's very honest of him and that he did the right thing there. What i don't like is how he has handled himself on the field for the majority of the season. Most of the time he has looked like he doesn't give a flying f@#k, which i think is a very poor attitude to have.

A lot like when Jack Riewoldt really sooks it up. Where does their sense on entitlement come from?

well i haven't been watching the footy, a couple of minutes here & there; so Ive missed the antics, but can you imagine a young fella who is taken in a draft, fly's interstate, serves years as understudy, to then be shipped out for a bigger name, ends up at a club who is torn & broken, then they start to shake things up, with board & admin infighting & change, then they get a high profile coach, then deliberately undermine him & his name over a couple of years, only to sack him mid season whilst list managing their way to the bottom of the ladder...

how should a player who growing up witnessed this stuff happen at his supported club, then see it happening to him in his chosen career, act? I'd say pretty disillusioned & upset.

others who only care about money, & their wages, may act better, taking all that in their stride.... someone who cares more about they're craft, may be very upset, & show it.

edit: I don't understand the entitlement angle.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
