Stupid clubs with their stupid wins and their stupid success

    'Climate change' in the AFL is sucking all life out of the pond. The big fish are gone, and only minnows remain. It's the way of professional sport!

    I fully believe Prestia was/is the Big Fish.

    Cant see us landing him this year now.

    Those previously smiling at Melb are probably somewhat glum now :(

    Who was it those weeks ago that said Roos was walking around with a smile on his face? And was it a literal or figurative smile? And has anything changed? Is it a literal or figurative scowl now?

    He isn't the biggest of fish, but I'd like is to have targeted Carlisle in order to free up tommy Mac.

    Being able to play forward in the nick Riewoldt manner, leading up to the wings would have been fantastic, and dropping back if our defence was struggling.

    Either way let's hope we have a huge 2016 and become a real destination club next year!

    It's funny everyone asking who's the big fish, i will tell you the truth about the big fish, most clubs best players don't leave very often, so most players that leave are not that wanted.

    I'm actually inclined to agree dmma. There are certainly no guarantees. I still remember Templeton coming to us and not being able to kick over a jam tin.

    Time will tell, but I suspect there may well be a few big name busts from this trade period as well. And, for the first time in a while, I'm more excited by some of the lesser lights and their potential development I.e. (Stretch, Neal- Bullen, Oscar McDonald, introduction of Max King). It's easier being patient as well when the kids are starting to show something.

    Maybe just the odd Mullet.

    I'd settle for a European Carp (Zac Dawson) Biffen at this point.

    I can't believe this thread still has oxygen considering the big fish thing was started by none other than the purple warrior...

    Soooo having said that..... Is this Prestia pulling in a big one on a Gold Coast beach???

    With Prestia's manager intimating that Dion may return to Victoria at the end of the 2016 and with the Pies and the Cats already(well likely in the pies case) without first round picks for next year it narrows down the competition a little for us. Unless something eventuates this year I think we'll be keeping our powder dry by not trading any future picks so we can offer two first round picks (2016 & 2017).

    They will lobby the AFL to let them lobby 2 future years draft picks the following year or some [censored]. These teams will put themselves in massive draft debt to move up the ladder, this will result in their future picks being worth Jack [censored] also

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
