Yeah but i hear he's going to Port Adelaide Magpies.....

 

I think Brayshaw (the wimp) not ours (the gun) has overstepped the mark with the 4% of games over 3 years quip. Wells has played 31 games in three years, and unless there are 258 games per season then Brayshaw is talking absolute excrement (as usual) Wells has played close to 50% and he was injured playing football, not skateboarding.

I would understand the dissapointment from their perspective if he left now, they've been extremely patient with him over a long period of time given his injury history and he's been paid extremely well the entire time, i do think what Brayshaw said was a reflection of that frustration and probably a good indication that Wells is either out the door already or they strongly suspect he will be very soon.

Bit early, he is still involved in finals if we win this week.

We could justify that comment in relation to Dawes, but when he did play, Wells' output was at a high level.

It really was a stupid comment by an outgoing president of a club that is on the nose.

Sounds like sour grapes to me DC, he has played 19 games this year and when he missed games it was because he got injured playing footy. Lots of players get injured playing footy, do we hear grizzles from GC about O'Meara or Prestia?

agree, poor form. the sort of comment that can backfire easily, and a president shouldn't get embroiled (at least publicly) with list management.

And Collingwood - do they have a recruiting strategy in place?

It seems oddly like their strategy is save Buckleys career - which could end up going horribly wrong. Fingers crossed! ;)

I think the pies contracted him for one year too many. They are going after experience to try and crack finals next season.

Buckley needs a top 8 appearance in 2017 if he wants to keep his job. Wells, Mayne and allegedly Rockliff could elevate the pies to play finals.

Amazed Wells got 3 years.....

As Damien Barrett said about us, it seems completely scattergun. Seems like they hear a name bought up and just go for it.

I don't mind it actually. If his body holds up $600k is a good price and that money was probably going to be spent on Dane Swan who was already cooked prior to destroying his ankle. Getting rid of Cloke will free up a large chunk of wasted cap space too.

Mayne at $500k on the other hand appears to be a shocker that I'd say will go down in history alongside the likes of Quentin Lynch and Paul Medhurst.

I like Mayne…but I like $500k a hell of a lot more.


I reckon you could throw $600K at just about any young star in the competition and they would seriously consider jumping ship to Collingwood, assuming their own club wasn't coughing up similar cash in the second contract.

Bizarre going after Mayne and Wells with these prices. Consider that the Tigers secured Prestia for only $150k more, who is substantially younger!

the downhill skier and figjam deserve each other in their last year

thankfully we don't need trades like this anymore !

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
