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.

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: 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.

    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?

    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?
