Bliclavs had a stand out year but a poor one this season. My Geelong friend says that he lost a lot of mobility when he bulked up. He was previously a talented middle distance and steeplechase athlete. My friend feels his natural athleticism was sacrificed for bulk with a negative result on his game. 

I also think Bliclavs was the most damaged by the 'no third man up' rule. He was a solid midfielder with a huge tank that would add real advantage at the taps, I believe he even won their B&F only a couple of years ago.

Jesse going nowhere, boys and girls.

MFC has demanded at least pick 2 and Freos first rounder next year for Jesse. This is why Freo offered Weller and 5, for The Suns' pick 2. This will then be sent to us for Hogan along with their 2018

The club has someone else in their sights big time. Not Lever, that deal is done. I'll let you know if I can find out more

Where's all this talk about McRae or  another gun mid coming and why haven't we heard anything about it outside Demonland??

Answer to the first question was from 1 or 2 posters on DL with supposed "inside sources".

Answer to the second question is 99% likely to be because it isn't true, but that won't stop us all playing along.

Would love to get Dalhaus at a decent price.

Small correction to the post CityDee.

Watts is gone and Pederson will be 31 at the start of '18 season. Bliclavs is 4 years younger and his running capacity is a weapon.

No one suggested Macrae was coming. Someone just guessed/hoped that the rumored quality mid (big fish) Roost it said we were in the market for might be Macrae.

*cough...Gtown allegedly in to Wattsy, wouldn't mind a Thurlow or a Stanley coming back the other way.

Geelong makes sense to look at Watts, looks like Stringer off to Ess. They're throwing away a 40 goal+ player in Menzel... 

I still think Watts will go to Sydney.

But if Geel... Definitely wouldn't take Stanley.  Thurlow is good but we have Hibberd, Hunt. I'd take Menzel and Bliclavs.

It would be the absolute heist of the year of Macrae asked to be traded to us.  I can't see it happening though.  If his problem is with "bad eggs" at the Bulldogs, their management would let the lot of them go (Stringer, Biggs and whoever else) before they let Macrae walk.  

It's a nice dream though.

Stanley is a renowned pea heart who plays a good quarter every six weeks.  Thurlow is quick but a poor decision maker and average user - got dropped from their finals team.  No way are these adequate swaps for Watts.  Set your sights a bit higher!!

wonder how a brighton grammar chap would get along with all those geelong grammar/college chaps

Dawes survived the Collingwood rabble before he joined MFC so I guess Watts would similarly easily adapt. Hunt and Salem also versatile kids in the same mould. Maybe we should swap to get a replacement Brighton Grammar from GWS (such as Kelly)?

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
