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.

    Why would anyone want Biclavs when we have pederson who is an actuall footballer and watts who is ten times the player than Biclavs

    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.

    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.

    Watts is a dee next year and for his career

    You are living in denial or the moon. I suggest denial because we all know man never walked on the moon - or do we.

    He would be very very lucky if he is... If so, he would have to pull his fist out.

    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.

    Thurlow, yes...

    Stanley can't play, no way.

    Work into the GC deal and get Aaron Hall to the Dees.

    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.

  • Quote

    If Watts ends up at Geelong, we should trade for a player, not the fringe dwellers being tossed up here

    Stanley FFS

    Menzel? Watts' game is more contested and he's a FA

    Blivacs. His value disappeared with the 3rd man up rule

    Fit Viney & Oliver are A graders already. Petracca, Hogan & Lever potential A graders.

    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.

    Id say its less than 10% chance and diminishing by the day.

    Very, very unlikely.

    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!!

    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)?

    I've no idea who Thurley or Stanley are, whenever i watch a Geelong game, all they mention is Dangerwood, Hawkins and Harry with a side serving of Motlop and a sprinkle of Mitch Duncan

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
