So many nervous nellies with zero patience on this forum.

“Just take pick 5 and move on I’m over it.” “They’ve got no early picks the deals off.” Moan, moan, whinge.

Gee whiz I’d love to buy your houses at auction!

Ya’all need a little Axel Rose in your lives at the moment ...

I love that we now have people throwing in the "throw Frost in and that'll do it" line. Frost was a lot better than Oscar at stages this year and if Lever goes down or May goes down, I'd rather Frost as  a backup defender over everyone's favourite Casey legend, Declan Keilty or the legend in the making, Harrison Petty. Neither have shown anything to excite at AFL level. This circus is going to roll on until the end of next week. god help us all

wow, I go away for an hour and come back to 5 more pages; there are some mighty unproductive work centres out there!?

5 more pages of the same recycled content.  Be hard vs be pragmatic, with the occasional "hes a FA next year" fallacy for spice.

At least there's been some real actual movement today with Freo's pick trade.

Quite simply, if Freo remain committed to holding Neale to his contract, they don't get Hogan.

Two predictions:

1: Demented souls outpouring bile as Dees announce a trade that meets with practically no Dee supporters expectations ( unless you're like me and guage by outcomes, overall, not swapping marbles or footy cards )

2: nobody will give a flying @#$& when we hold up the cup in a year or two.

That puts you in a very small group jr.

I think the FD are for reasons unknown to us hell bent on him leaving.

I think you are correct.

In 2018

1. Check the win/loss ratio with him in the side against without him.

2. His style of play, reaction time does not fit with our game plan,

Just thoughts.

As I said before this years first pick would have been 16. Show me how it is a FACT that we could do the trade for May without trading Hogan. Feigning boredom suggests it was not a fact but speculation on your behalf. 

You asked for an example, l didn't have to but l have you one. Move on. l am

Has the Beams request of a trade been confirmed? I have a feeling Barrett is just trolling. 

Apparently Fagan came out and said he hasn't requested a trade.

Barrett then back tracked saying 'in an ideal world Dayne Beams would be at Collingwood next year'.

Not sure the FD agree with you Steve.

I reckon they will take one first rounder and something else. That might even be next year.

How does that grab you?

It's posts like these that expose the soft underbelly of some supporters. 

I'm happy to put my hand up and say I am thrilled with the progress we have made, but that doesn't mean we all need to blindly agree with the club on everything and believe that the club doesn't now make mistakes.

Perhaps you are easily pleased but I want to win a premiership and believe that a dogmatic, ruthless approach is what is required from here with the dealings with Fremantle.

 

Good on you hero. You ruthless tough guy you. Wish you were running the FD, we’d have seen much quicker progress than we’ve seen from the MFC over the past five years. Wooden spoon to premiership fancy heading into 2019, it’s just not good enough. We should have had at least two more Cups in the trophy cabinet by now. I so share your “extreme disappointment” with Josh Mahoney and the rest of them pea hearts!

If you’d bothered to follow the thread from about page 100 you will have seen wonderboy that of everyone I have been one of the most consistent advocates of Melbourne playing hardball on the Hogan trade. I just don’t jump at shadows like you though or cower under my sofa every time some chump journo like Tom Browne floats a half baked scare piece that he likely extrapolated from a rumour on Bigfooty.

The MFC footy department have barely put a foot wrong in the recent past, have said almost nothing publically on the Hogan trade except the usual throwaway platitudes, and deserve our support and respect to get the job done behind closed doors. 

You potting them from behind your keyboard with zero evidence to support your criticism isn’t tough or dogmatic. It’s just insulting ... and ungrateful. Yeah I think that’s the word - ungrateful.

It was news to Fagan. Wouldn't be surprised if the Filth are driving this one.

Is it too sensitive for some supporters to bring up the fact that if we held firmer with the Lever trade, we would be able to get May without needing the picks from Freo

So in future when you say something is a "fact" we should read "Demons1858 makes stuff up" as you do not back up what you say. Why state something as a fact when you have no idea?

It would completely and utterly fly in the face of Mahoney's stance.

But then again, if we get 11 for Hogan (plus dreggs) and GCS accept that for May then does it actually even matter we didn't get 5, 6 or otherwise?

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
