When was the last time Rehn got something right?

How he gets airtime on SEN is beyond me.  That said, he's not on his own.

Don’t know mate, sorry I posted it.

    Tom Rehn on SEN said Dees were circling at around 4pm today

    Maybe we left it a bit late if we were only circling at around 4pm today after he had re-signed with Port? However, SWYL seems to think we can bend the time-space continuum by passing on Wines in the draft when his first league game was a BOG.

    decisions like passing on Wines when his FIRST GAME against us was BOG keep the theory alive sadly.

    I’ll rephrase it for the last time, he’s gone and never coming so let’s get over it. I never held hope that he’d come to Dees or want, I actually didn’t think the club would pursue him.

    “Tom Rehn at around 4pm yesterday on SEN said Dees had been circling”

    Not now, the way we have developed recently. we don't need him now.  We need more pace and nimbleness.

    Don't forget Maynard as well.

    But I wouldn't mind Degooey.

    I have a theory that when we lost Wowie in 2002 some soul left the club of that group. 

    No-one leaves this cuurent team . Incl the rubbish talked about hogan.

    The tightness of the players cannot be overestimated.

    Good call, although it is as much about the players you bring in as the ones who go out. Not only did Woewodin leave, but we brought in Heffernan and Moorcroft who never wanted to leave Essendon, and Fatboy Pickett who was there just for the money.

    Thats true, I remember feeling shocked, with the loss of Woewodin. It felt like another blow to me as a supporter.

    But a sociable based afl club, as distinct from a hardened title hunting AFL side, 'can be', different things.

     

    That team, and this current team, are so far removed in mindset, its not funny.

    Heffernan was an absolute spud! His heart was never at Melbourne despite being a dees supporter as a kid. Came in with big expectations as he was touted to be Essendons next captain in waiting

    Up there as one of the worst players to pull on the red and blue.

    Gary Moorcroft was a gimp.

    On face value - Viney = no. 

    If Viney's foot/toe flares up again in the next few weeks? Romance aside, it would be a better result for the team long team.

    And yes i know that won't ever happen, especially since he is a captain, but as long as we're talking hypothetical's ...

    NFW to down trading our top 3 pick, we don’t need anymore of his type. 

    Ok, watch Hawthorn somehow get Hill, Coniglio, Patton, while we do the same thing and stand there like Winnie the Pooh...

    Trying to think outside the box a bit, Brad Hill will not solve all our problems...

    1) We'll have pick 2.

    2) Wouldn't be trading away pick 2 for a player that is not an automatic selection for any team in the league.

    3) Wines has plateaued; he's not the player he looked like becoming after his first two years.  Not to say he's not a good player, but he's not a top shelf target.

    Worth serious consideration definitely 

    We have the chance with pick 2 to get a very good player, rather than a 25 year old who is struggling at the moment and is another slow inside mid. We need real class badly.

    NO!

    Fair enough. Someone else suggested it and I thought your post was following the same theme.

    Yes I would take Ollie for the right deal.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
