The era we belong to thinks that way dc but the the current crop do not. It is all agents and communication by social media and  email. Face to face communication is the last option.

IMO sad but that is the way the world is in the 21st century.

The carrier pigeons fly faster and farther these days, and telegrams are also delivered within a few days

    I think he has requested a trade to freo already before flying overseas, up to the clubs to sort it out now, both parties have agreed to keep things quiet. He'll go, just the negotiations and outcomes to follow.

    100% this. Just hope we aren’t getting screwed over. I thought we overpaid for Lever, and I want us to get good compensation for losing the best young forward in the game!

    My money would be on this scenario.

    with so much up in the air and so much reported uncertainty, it strikes me as somewhat inappropriate to be holidaying in bali whilst the next possible 10 years of your life is decided.

    i  know there are mobile phone services in bali but it's not quite the same

    just some thoughts

    Yes that’s what the club should start doing - act like his dad and tell him he cant have a holiday after a hard years work because some people online are wondering if he’s going or staying

    The 16 weeks suspension and banned for life is an AFL Victoria rule and doesn’t apply to the AFL is my understanding.

    Thanks. @RalphiusMaximus would've been more worried about the Lewis recruitment if it did apply

    Pretty good comms these days and Bali is no further from Perth than Melbourne

    It’s much closer actually. Roughly 90 mins flying time.

    If this is true, we can all look forward to the obligatory interview (like Lynch yesterday) after signing streamed live from a Bali bar (or night club depending on the hour) beer in one hand, surfboard under one arm and a backpack full of cash. All while sporting a Dimmys knock off Freo jumper acquired from a local supplier.

    Can you clarify - is it a site guideline that if one changes their username that one must indicate this in a sig block or in some other fashion? It's not addressed here: http://demonland.com/forums/guidelines/

    I think it does matter because posters should own their posting history.  That said like @Nasher said I changed my username but it is pretty transparent.

    Some of the best posters here like @Vogon Poetry and @ProDee have had various incarnations for various reasons but it's fine if it's transparent I think.

    you know i'm not saying that, so why post such a contention. it's 1 specific week that's all

    i know if it was me and if there was any chance of changing circumstances i'd want to be more available and involved.

    but obviously if his mind is 100% made up, i suppose it doesn't matter, but there has been quite some discussion here that it might not be as black and white as 100% decided

    Ageee with this, it makes the most sense. He’s toured the facilities and had a medical, it’s just going to come down to getting the deal done. I’m actually not so confident that one will get done this year.

    I think the exact same thing but so many players do it for some reason.

    Such is the footy world these days DD, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got fitted out with gear, photos and interviews pre recorded before he left overseas.

    Uncontracted and restricted/unrestricted free agents are very different things.

    An uncontracted player must be traded, either for picks, players or a combination of the two. If an agreement can't be reached then that player has to nominate for the draft and hope no other club picks him up.

    A free agent can walk to the other club without a trade, however often the club they are leaving will receive a compensation pick from the AFL.

    While your point that most players reach their destination is correct, the two types of contract situations are very different.

    I understsnd the rules 

    My point is players have the freedom to move as they please. 

    The current rules allow clubs to dig their heels in but whats the point when a player is then uncontracted next yr and its easier for them to leave to their clibof choice. Ie tim.kelly and jesse

    Sad but true I guess. I have tried to block that possibility from my thinking. Maybe Jesse is smarter than we give him credit for and he knows that either way, it is going to go down to the last minute and he will be back by then, ready to be directed to the correct change room for his presser. 

    Alternatviely, maybe he packed a reversible jumper made up for the presser.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
