9 out of 10 = 90%

90 out of 10 = 900%

Perhaps we need an expert to adjudicate. Do we have a mathematician in the house?

To workout this, divide the numerator by the denominator, sum this value to the integer part then multiply the result by 100%, so:

90/10 in percent = 90 divided by 10 x 100% = 9 X 100% = 900%

    Ok then.

    And I'm glad you aren't our list manager 

    So you think that at some point Weideman will kick 50 plus goals in a season ?  He had a good run of games this year, barely got a kick in the last few . The bloke we are apparently happy to let go, has already done it . Let's see what Tom ‘s “ new shape”  produces , madness to trade him out .

    New shape? he wasn't even big last season. He was so bad this season that i'm mentally done with him. I want to see the back of him and his brother. That game against Brisbane where Oscar didn't even start the game on his opponent just about sums up his career.

    Ethan, this post suggests you are either just coming off drugs and booze or just starting back on drugs and booze.

    I didn't say that. Your outrage is trying to put words into the mouths of others

    Weid is worth preserving with. Imo he has more upside than tmac. He's young, still developing and is more important to us long term (with Ben Brown) than tmac

    I will agree to disagree with you

    Not to mention that with a Brown in the side to take the first defender, Weideman will have a lot more freedom (his best this year was before Jackson went down injured and they were working in tandem).

    And Weideman is better 1-1 and he will be able to get that more with Brown being the focus of defences. I also think W is better up the ground but yet to be seen

    ...as well, and you can include the Hawthorn match in that 'manning up' inability.

    Correct, we can get him in and keep mcdonald. But i would guess that next year keeping Oliver would be harder and you don't want to be paying 600+ a year for a player to be in the VFL.

    I'm actually bullish on Baker as a winger (i was thinking if we got smith, that baker would be able to learn off him and replace him in 2-3 years time. I really like him regardless (just hasn't been played much).

    Baker got what most AFL don't have he can kick goals on both feet, even dusty can  only kick on the right boot, Baker could be a very good winger, just needs to work on his endurance.

    The weed still kicked more goals than Brody mihocek did in the Home and away season. He was the number 1 pea in the forwardline, will now take the second best defender with brown taking the spotlight off him.

    Or like a 50/50 decision, this is a 90/10 decision. A clumsy description but does make sense.

    Hence 90% - unless we plan on cloning him and getting 9 Ben Browns ?

    In his very limited exposure under Goodwin this year, I saw Baker playing an expanding game and thoughtful form benchmarks that cast aside the 'ginger ninja' cacophony, replacing it with a concept of 'predator' for the ball, for space and for the opportunity to run with that ball to good effect. When our team realises this attribute, he's going to be a target in space, early and rampant. Don't ya reckon?

    Doubt Brown is coming to Melbourne, would have been confirmed by now.

    Can deals be announced yet? I thought it was only the Free Agency period.

    Uncivilized wait for news, isn't it? Delays - uncertainties - stuffing around with supporters' minds. Has it all been a failure? In weeks, the Club will be asking for more dollars and worst of all, more tolerance that 'they' are doing the correct thing.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
