Thanks for posting - great stuff.

I like hearing confirmation of the philosophy. We need to develop the list we have - topping it up with players like Hibberd, Barlow and Thompson seems perfectly sound.

But otherwise our success will come from those already on our list including players like ANB and some others who struggled to get a game this year, but who will clearly become very good players. I'd also like to see Jack Grimes retained, if possible - but wholly understand if he wishes to leave.

In short, we are now a destination club. Can't think when we last, if ever, were. And we no longer seem to make desperate recruiting decisions - it all seems to be very considered/measured and then cleanly executed.

Thank you Paul Roos. And Peter Jackson.

 

I think we are still along way from a destination club.

I very much hope we're into Barlow as he'd be a great get and has some good footy left, as well as a lot of finals experience. Can't see us landing both him and Thompson though, surely spots for more young talent are at a premium.

And a big no to Wells. Too expensive and far too risky.

If Laverde  drinks his own bath water too he will fit in well with us.

 

Honestly, you are the most negative poster I have come across on any forum.

You may try to pass it off as just playfully trolling, but really it's a bit sad.

OK, so you and wisewhatsaname  drink the same bath water. Not my fault.

Are you basing that on inside knowledge? inconsistency? youth? A few individuals? general observations? I'm not having a go, just genuinely curious.

Go back and watch the replay of the second half of the Geelong game.  There are many camera crosses to our coaches box in the second half.  Have you ever seen  as much disappointment and shock in the coach box caused by the vagaries of inconsistency or youth?  Pizz poor culture still persists.

Oh and personally I think J Hogan will be at the Dee's next year. Just a gut feel.  As for the year after who knows.  I'd really consider trading him this year if his intentions are leaning towards not being at the club long term.  

Two early picks or one early pick and a good player might get it done.  Having said that we will come out getting unders for him as the draft can be a lottery.  Just look at how many picks we have stuffed up over the years.  We always get [censored] over.

Pitty Freo can't trade next years first round pick, unless they pick up another one that is.  No one talks about WCE but I'm sure they would have their hat in the ring too. 

Really hope he stays and signs a five year deal soon.

Darling not firing in finals may prompt them to ask the question. 

A Hogan and Kennedy forward line would be disappointing to say the least.

Darling and Gaff for Hogan and 2017 First round?

Gaff signed a two year extension only a couple of months ago. Darling is a good second tall. Apart from that deal never happening, there's no way I would pay for it with Hogan and a first round pick.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
