Can see him going to the Saints as they desperately need a player like him.

He can waste away his talent there

    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.

    Let's see - do we want a player who is a serial [censored] with no respect for anyone but himself?  Who has blown chance after chance whilst acting like a substandard human being?  Who has been accused on multiple occasions of sexual assault or harassment of women?  

    Big fat NO!

    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.

     

    They should have sacked him when he was first charged with the 2015 sexual assault.  I'm surprised he wasn't sacked after New York.  The fact after Bali they still haven't sacked him is endemic of the cultural cancer at Collingwood, where players in their AFLW program campaigned for the club to do something about it and were ignored.  No thanks.  Steer clear.

    8 wins in a row.

    Numerous players seem to want to go there.

    Obviously culture isn't winning their games, or losing them.

    PS: I am not saying we don't want our club to have a good culture, obviously we do.

    Hang on. What’s your benchmark for perfection? Not having ever sexually harassed/assaulted somebody?

    We just had a thread on Taylor Walker of which 80% of the posts were about the culture killer that he is. It depends where you want to draw the line with culture but I’d have thought this was in a similar boat.

    In the last few years at Collingwood - 

    - Allegations of racism resulting in the departure of the President and Coach, and the "Do Better" report

    - Key member of their cheer squad charged with pedophilia

    - Members of their AFLW squad complaining about the club's inaction over De Goey

    - De Goey

    I don't give a rats if they've won 8 in a row.  If Melbourne signs up De Goey they will lose me as a member, and I've been a member for 37 years. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one.  I'd like to think our club has standards. We can do better culturally than signing up DHs like De Goey.

    Exactly.  I'm at the stage of questioning the values of some of the Demonlander posters for defending this DH.

    I never said anything about getting De Goey, I was just saying that with their rotten culture they have won 8 in a row and so maybe it's not culture that wins games.

    You might not give a rats about a team winning 8 in a row, but I bet their supporters do.

    PS: I am certainly not defending De Goey and I wouldn't want him with us.

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

    Talent is only one aspect of what makes a very good AFL player. Colin Sylvia, Harley Bennell, Jack Watts, and Liam Jurrah were all gifted, but that was about it. De Goey is exactly the same. They turn it on once every 4-5 weeks, and maybe only for a quarter. They dislike doing the difficult things like gut running, tackling, and other pressure acts that coaches love. Every week, Sparrow, Harmes, ANB, and Spargo do all of these things. You are correct that these players lack DeGoey's talent, but I believe I know what type of player Goody would prefer. It doesn't help that he is also a DH.

    McClure said he would be amazed if De Geoy was at the Pies next year so sounds like this might not be the usual gossip

    If he was a tall fwd I'd maybe think about it. but he has shown time and time again he only cares about himself

    He is not essential to our needs, Id rather go for their Ruckman.

    Plenty of ability but doesn't have the temperament or professionalism to fully realise his undoubted talent. Partying in Bali during the bye shows where his priorities lie. Plus, he seems to be a [censored]. Big no from me

    That said culturally we should be able to accommodate and get the best out of wayward characters. Not too many all at once though. Perhaps a quota of one. And if I did have to pick one undesirable to include in the squad it would be Toby Greene. How much better would our forward set-up look with him playing there. He’d be hard work keeping him on the straight and narrow (off-field and on) but I reckon he’d be worth it. He is signed up with the Giants but who knows when he’ll commit his next indiscretion and perhaps become available

    Tall forwards are our clear number 1 priority.

    Backup and developing rucks an obvious number 2.

    Depth in our outside mids at 3. 

    He doesn't fit any of these.

    Cameron or Grundy?

    Not sure I would go either unless we definitely lose Jacko or if Gawn is going to play permanently forward which I wouldn't be a fan of.

    Best case: He becomes a manageable issue internally and makes us marginally better because we somehow find a way to integrate someone of his style into our existing team by replacing a player (Fritsch, Jordon, ????) who is currently doing that at a reasonably high level. This takes us from competing for a flag with a decent chance of winning it ...... to also competing for a flag with marginally better chances of winning.

    Worst case: He can be managed and turns our club into a circus, taking human resources away from the other players as well as salary cap resources, and we are no longer competing for a premiership. This takes us from competing for a flag with a decent chance of winning it ...... to not competing for a flag.

     

    I just don't understand why you'd take that bet. The outcomes are so asymmetric.

    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?

    I will take Harmesy over De Goey every day Thankyou

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
