Would have thought you'd need to add Hunt onto the at risk list. If he doesn't show he has what it takes this year I would have thought his papers will be stamped as well. I also would have thought Pedersen would have to be pretty bad this year not to get another contract. He was showing good form last year before he did his wrist and without him we'll be very bare for talls for the next few years.

Not really relevant to anything but i find it interesting that we are a chance of moving on a couple of blokes who not so long ago finished 3rd and 4th in our B&F as well as potentially two former co-captains and a bloke we paid way overs to get and a former number 1 draft pick, and it wouldn't really hurt our best 22 in any huge way to do so.

 

I am hopefully on a few of these guys, Trengove in particular but it's an interesting situation

Johnny Ralph on SEN tonight reckons the Hogan situation has a taken a turn for the worst over the last 6 months and the two parties are as far apart as they've been for a while.

Meanwhile he said both McDonald boys are far from certainties to stay on after this year.

What a barrel of joy that was listening to him.

Absolute rubbish on all counts, John Ralph has lost all credibility over the Essendon saga, he is trying to create news out of thin air now.

It's easy to see who are the weak squibs of the media world are when they pick on the smaller clubs for news items. They only ever have good news stories about Collingwood and Hawthorn. If a bloke hasn't signed at Melbourne he's "far from certain" to do so. If a bloke hasn't signed at Collingwood then "he really wants to stay" and "it's just a matter of dotting a few i's and crossing a few t;s". 

Weak and pathetic dogs. 

It makes our marketing peoples job so much harder to do. Especially leading into the season when you are trying to sign members. Jackson or Barrett should be calling out and confronting the weak ***ick.

Does anyone know whether these imbeciles only make up more particular excreta about The Dees than other teams or not?

Your interpretation of the conversation is very poor.

He said that Hogan signing on isn't as close as recent reports suggest and that Melbourne "wouldn't be feeling as good as 10 weeks ago".  He doubted it would happen prior to the season commencing, but more round 6 or mid-season.  

He mentioned that the McDonald brothers were out of contract and that was it.  He said that if they could sign both bookends - Hogan and McDonald - then we'd become a destination club.  Their signings are that important.

The amount of times I've heard conversations like this distorted by supporters in the re-telling is incredible.  Do people actually listen ?

I listened to that and he had nothing. 

He said "Hogan returned to West Coast (he said West Coast not Western Australia) to contemplate his future over the break", considering he's from there where's the story.

That sounds much better.

In all honestly i don'tthink anyone thought he would re sign prior to the season so i don't know where Ralphy got that report. Mahoney and Roos have emphasized that he still has 2 years left of his contract and hardly something thats going to be rushed into.

Jon Ralph is a clown, for sure.  Anything he says gets ignored immediately.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
