I can't put you on ignore either, I love reading the tablets of stone you send down from the top of the mountain, to us mere mortals who bask below in the eerie glow of your far superior footy knowledgei

Thank you Akela

I have often pondered about the use of the ignore option Saty. I've seen posters say they're putting someone on ignore but respond to them a short time later.

There are even misguided souls who have ignored my wise utterances.

I wonder who holds the distinction of being the most ignored on Dland?

I have had you ignore for ages bitter. And i usually don't look at your posts. But i just did. And it wasn't so bad. So i'll take you off ignore.

Ironically enough you quoted Saty. Who i also have on ignore. I'll keep him there.

Steve i would never ignore you. Way too much fun reading your posts. I mean comments like they had no other options but to keep playing Tmacs younger brother are just too funny (umm just a thought but one option might have been to play the super talented Weed and leave Tmac down back). Comedy gold. 

By the by did you read this article? In it Jimmy Bartel analyses our list. Not surprisingly as most on DL agree (including me) he says we should target Lever who would be the 'intercept marking and rebounding defender that would compliment Frost and Oscar McDonald so well'. What is more surprising is that he says if we don't move Tmac permanently forward we need to bring in another tall forward. I thought that was what we had Weed for? Perhaps he doesn't rate him as highly as you.

Bin, for daring to have me on ignore, you must suffer two penances-

          1. Give yourself a jolly good flo gging.

          2. Go back and read all the clever and informative posts that you missed.

  1. Task completed. Surprisingly enjoyable.

Could a clever person please insert the you tube video linked above. Damned if i can work it out.

 

 

Another badge of honour for me to wear with distinction on Bin's ignore list

Back to topic, have a couple of contacts in the Western Burbs   the Stringer wants out is gathering steam

Sounds promising. Can you get your contacts to put in a good word for us? Stringer would add real triple XXX factor to our forward line.

 Next year with an injury free run, we'll have a lot more coverage given we'll hopefully have Lever, Garland for one more year, Smith and Keilty if he comes on.

 

 

 

I just have a feeling we will pay Garland out and delist/retire him and that he might play a year at Casey, to help the younger players there, if he recovers well enough from his knee injury.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Lever on DL?

He would be expensive to get and with us chasing other players may be too far out of our reach, unless it was a player swap.

Leave it to others to throw up the usual suspects.

One thing though on Stringer, while mercurial, he can fail to do the basics and I don't think that is Goody's preferred type.

We are crying out for blokes who can turn a game.   High risk but one worth taking if available

Beats me. Apparently he goes ok

The club would be mad not to at least enquire about Stringer.  Brendan McCartney coached him for his first couple of seasons and may know of any issues/mental demons that seem to have plagued him over the past season and a half.  Prior to that he looked like becoming a genuine superstar. 

Those dismissing him would do well to remember that Toby Greene was on the trade table a couple of years ago and is now one of the most damaging players in the comp (admittedly I hate him with a passion).

in 2006 a young troublesome player, with similar freakish (but flakey) abilities was nearly traded to Collingwood but failed a medical.  Went on to win 3 flags and a Norm Smith.  

I'd be definitely be asking the question and getting Macca's opinion before dismissing the idea completely.

I'm in the same boat - while he is certainly a talented player, the Dogs would want something seriously good for him and I don't think he's consistent enough to warrant it.  Too high risk for me.

"If there's one thing in life worse than being ignored in Dland, it's not being ignored on Dland".

Oscar Wilde said that.

I love Col but I think there is a bit of sense in this.

If he was told that he wouldn't play seniors and he was taking a spot on the list we'd like to fill I'm sure he'd agree to being paid out, play at Casey and continue his coaching role with the club.  He's a terrific club man.  I hope we treat him very well.

I may have missed the info on DL but what happened with stringer - partner ?

Think he and his wife have separated. His loss of form seems to have coincided with this.

I have heard that we are into Trent McKenzie from Gold Coast

Nice long kick, but us he good enough? Seems to have dropped off in the last few years, or maybe I've just not paid attention.

Bad run of injuries for past 2 seasons, has hardly played. More than that, hard to say. Not just a long kick, but an accurate kick. Which we need.

  • 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.

    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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
