You have got to be kidding about that Roos part.

Where would we be without him coming on board? Talk about changing the culture... Goodwin is riding Roos' coattails.

Can't help but read your comments  about Jack Watts how overrated you think he is ???????????? HMMMMMM

Obviously you don't go to games or maybe you listen to the Watts critics. Grumpy o m.

    Huh ? I think you need to read his posts again, RPFC has not criticised Watts, more the opposite

    Port have some okay outside runners that may be worth a look. 

    I wonder if they'd package up jake Neade and Sam grey for us?

    Let's throw up wines and Ryder for fun

    Aaron Hall is definitely not the worst player out of that trio, and he'd be a good get for us. Exactly what we need - quick, finds plenty of the ball and is damaging on the scoreboard. Last year he averaged 530m gained per game and 28 disposals - that's huge. This year he averaged 495m per game. 

    I'd love to see Hall at the Dees.

    I agree - really good player. Would suit our needs.

    Probably will end up doing Watts for Toumpas

    Maybe l misread it. However the day comes that Jack does leave, the Watts critics will regret it and the simple minded ones that bag him constantly won't know what to do with themselves.

    I'm starting to get concerned with the amount of Hogan to Freo rumours that keep surfacing. Where there is smoke there is fire. Many website and papers coming out this rumour from a similar angle.

    How is that different from any other season?

    We will have to put up with the same rubbish every year.

    There's nothing in the Hogan rumours.

    There's nothing in the club divided rumors either. And let's not forget that for Roos' last game as coach, he dropped Watts.

    Club divided? Give me a break! A difference of opinion about a player....hardly any sort of deep rift or division....

    Where there's smoke there's some idiot smoking.  And we're not talking tobacco.

    It was all started by swyl going off on a tangent, talk about slippery slope syndrome!

    Paul Roos snapped up Lumumba in an instant and played Dawes whenever fit despite some serious on-field short-comings. He's keen on certain personalities and has his blind-spots like anyone else.

    My grandmas toaster told me that Kent for balic could work out for everyone. I tend to agree. Kent has seen others leapfrog him, and balic is a kid trying to get back to his home state, never really settled over there.

    Agreed.

    Progress is built on debate not on back slapping apologism.

    Without enraging the masses IF Jessie left we would no doubt be more than adequately compensated.  I don't think that's going to be the case with Watts unfortunately.  Not comparing either players or their worth, but trading is trading and football is a business.  If you are adequately compensated,  maybe even come out in front, all is well.  On the other hand........

    This is my go at "inside knowledge."

    Prior to the commencement of the round 23 game I had a chat with and for privacy reasons let's call him " ball boy" cause that's what he actually does, you know  the guy that kicks the ball back to the players in their muck around warm-up before the main one and he told me Jesse is going nowhere and scoffed at all the rumours.

    I'm hanging my hat on that even though he told me we would win that day.

    Whilst those on the ground at Melbourne might well be right in belief tbat Jesse is unlikely to go anywhere it's only what they know. 

    Who knows whats in the air ,sts, or what plans are unhatching.

    Only when trade week finishes on that 2.00pm gong and Hogan is still a Dee can anyone be 100% certain.

    Thats my take. I assume Nothing, anymore. It's 21c Footy.

    So you really think a club pushing for finals would actually trade 2 of their best tall forwards in 1 trade period.

    Hogan going simply is not happening, and if there was a slight chance of it happening we would not be testing the waters with trading Watts. 

    The MFC supporters would go ballistic if we lost both those boys as its pretty much time to shut up shop for another 3 year rebuild.

    Just had a chat with Dr.Turf about the whole Watts trade at work. Said he spoke to Rocket Eade and there are big rumblings about Hogan involved in a 4 way trade with Freo/Carlton/Adelaide/Melbourne. In summary, Hogan to Freo Lever to Dees.

    He said he hopes not, but that's what he heard.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
