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.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
