Another swing and a miss from Norf.  I wonder who they'll end up getting?  Maybe they can offer Dean Kent a million a year for 5 years?

According to De Goey’s manager Collingwood still have to make up some $ before he’ll sign.

Self planted rumour by Collingwood saying he'll sign with them!

Be very VERY surprised if this lad goes anywhere. Too important to Collingwood's list...too important to their brand etc

The argy bargy of 'negotiation' will eventually come to a ...dare I say....happy ending.

North and Aints will STRUGGLE to land anyone...to many other BETTER destinations out there.

De Goey is off to North. We have Gaff in the bag?

Looks like Gaff is no chance then.

So long as its all above board. Collingwood should be struggling to fit DeGoey in their cap.

apparently, He wants to be a Millionaire?  

who's in the 'Millionaire hot Seat' ?

Just signed a 2 year extension with Collingwood.

Bad luck North. Or perhaps good luck as their reported offer was ridiculous.

The media are stating that De Goey is likely to go to the Cats or Saints if he leaves Collingwood. I question whether we should look at him.

Negatives are obvious. (He is a DH and hard to manage).

Pros are:

  • He is one of the better players in the competition on his day
  • He fits our need to bolster the forward half
  • It looks like he will not command ridiculous money
  • He is a free agent
  • He is the same age as our core stars (Petracca, Oliver and Lever)

Obviously we won't have room in the cap if Jackson and Brayshaw end up staying and so we won't even consider recruiting De Goey until they let us know what they are doing. And any compensation if Brayshaw leaves will be eroded.

Yuck, no way. That guy is cultural cancer. Don't care how good his footy is, he's an out-and-out grub

Where is he playing? He’s not playing midfield with our stars. So HFF? Expensive mid sized forward? Another Fritsch? It’s just not good list management and balance.

Dusty was seen as an ice addict and 'cultural cancer' when he was shopping himself around Western Sydney and went on to win three Norm Smith Medals

Steven May has proven himself to be no angel. Should we get rid of him?

De Goey could replace Sparrow (on current form), Bedford, Harmes, or Melksham and we would be better.

How many players in the competition are 20 possessions and a goal per game? Maybe 10?

Steven May was the captain of the club he came from (a leader) and was AA last year. He has been a great servant apart from the [censored]-up at Entrecote this year. Dusty has never been an ice addict, and besides, we have a player who is like De Goey but better in Petracca. De Goey is neither AA or Norm Smith quality and has demonstrated an inability to grow as a player on the field and as a person off it. He can go to Essendon and join Stringer so the Bombers can have two talented but idiotic mercurial forwards who will play five good games a year and teach terrible habits to their young teammates the rest of the year.

Jesus 'Fat'.. some interesting claims you gone with here.

Don't think 'ice addict' was ever attached to Dusty at all. His issue was more just immaturity and off field professionalism. This was all when he was much younger then Degoey who is 27 next year and still carries on like a 17 year old [censored].

So, if it wasn't a free agency year and you were our list manager, you'd trade Sparrow / Harmes for DeGoey? You clearly don't understand our gameplan or the important role these guys play every week.

I'd imagine if he has another major indiscretion, the club will consider sacking him.

There was was a lot of negative PR he put the club through.

I wouldn't be going for De Goey if he wasn't a free agent. 

As for Sparrow and Harmes. They are both good players but they are not De Goey level talent.

Steven has at times been a naughty boy getting a bit agro but he was still seen in enough light to be promoted to a captaincy role of a club.  He then filled a need in which we were desperate for.

Dusty wasnt' a cultural cancer like you say.  He's actually been an incredibly hard trainer all his life.  Ice was never in the conversation but he definitely was enjoying the party & social life of an AFL footballer to the fact he had a club imposed curfew at the start of his second season.

But Jordan is on a whole other level!  From a two minute google, I have no idea why anyone would pay him the cash!!

  • tells the club he breaks his hand playing with a dog (allows Bucks to go into bat for him against the media)
  • turns out he lied and broke it in a punch on in St Kilda
  • gets done drink driving
  • gets done driving without a licence
  • charged with rape
  • convicted of harassment
  • charged for forcibly touching a woman in the USA
  • charged for assault against a man in the USA
  • follows this up with attempts to expose a womans breast in Bali

 

Zurhaar > Degoey

I wouldn't touch Degoey and would be extremely surprised if Geelong did either. He seems made for the Saints

Although I can't understand the logic of we already have one mid-sized forward (Fristch), so therefor we don't need another.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
