The "Bell" factor is actually quite interesting. It will change things a bit. How ? who knows ,only he will bring a different agenda most likely to his clubs's table.

    Christ some of you people are insufferable.

    I merely wanted to give an indication that things are actually moving along, that this isn’t all just media speculation, meetings are happening and serious decisions are being made - i.e. this isn’t the Chris Judd saga where our name is thrown in there to add more interest, or one adventurous journo joined the dots based on little evidence, then the rest jumped onto a rumour to fill column inches.

    But I’m not going to spill all the beans. You’ll find out when you find out. 

    Chris Judd was very keen to join the Demons until his second meeting with the footy department took place in a small portable.

    Incorrect he had committed to Carlton nearly a year earlier.

    He used us and a couple of other clubs to pretend he hadn't decided where he was going. That way it didn't look as much like he was poached by Carlton and would keep the price down and make negotiations a bit less volatile.

    That's right except that it was a year. They committed to each other in July of that year and everything else about Judd picking four clubs for interview, to be narrowed down to two and then one and even his grandmother's views on the subject were fake news.

    Someone sold me a fugazzi.

    Either way, he did have a meeting that took place in a portable with us and wasn’t impressed.

    It’s ok, meetings with potential players now take place in a McCafe.

    Where is that coming from?

    TBH I would accept it if we got good picks and players we want and they have both.

    They could replace Lynch with a ready made potential champion and we could maybe persuade Tyson to go there as well to make the deal even more attractive for them. They will have picks 2 and 3. We are into May and KK. 

    If JH is happy to go to GC then we know something else is behind the move. 

    Also I think GC would get AFL help to get JH and he could get more money there than in Freo. He could become a very rich boy indeed and we could do a super trade.

    The point about GC is, that's what the promise might be if this doesn't work for all...

    Which would suggest he is completely disgruntled and doesn't care where he goes (ie: its not the go home factor)

    or its only about coin....

    that doesn't feel accurate at all....

    What could he be disgruntled over? All reports say he is happy at MFC

    well, that's my point.?

    I'm totally cool on the go home factor, be it Hogan, be it VDB, whomever - it makes sense...it's disappointing if things transpire that way for whomever for the club, for supporters, and I still get it... 

    But to do a Mitch Clarke...well, it just feels deceitful. 

    (or a mal michael)....

    The fact that the deal between Carlton and Judd was as good as done by the middle of that season is also the explanation given for the Blues’ dramatic fall from grace and them losing the last 11 games in a row including the famous “Kreuzer Cup” game in Round 22. It really should have been called the “Kreuzer-Judd” Cup because it secured both players for them. 

    Ironically, more than a decade later, Dennis Pagan who was coach of Carlton on Kreuzer Cup day will today be presenting the Jock McHale Medal to the premiership-winning coach and one of the players in the winning team could well be Josh Kennedy, the young key forward who the Blues gave away as part of the deal to get the Judd trade done.

    Worth thinking about if we do end up trading our own key forward in Jesse Hogan.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
