Can’t believe there are still people who want T-Mac to return to defence. 

 

To me it looks like we're ready to accept unders so we can do a trade for May. It needs to be made clear to Freo that if May is taken away from us by another club, the unders will no longer be available, and they'll need to produce more than what's been discussed. We'll be in a position where we need to start looking for a next option after May, and that will probably cost us more, caused by them, so their cost.

How about Tom going back when required. 

Tom going back now if all players are acquired is a step backwards IMO.

Stupidity confirmation.

The only time TMac might be in the back 50 is in the last 2 minutes of quarters when we're  trying to stop opposition scoring.

Or if we are playing in a prelim final against the Eagles. You , unfortunately have a very short memory span.

Yep! I just woke up! 

The ball isn’t in Freo’s or little man Peter Bells court! I don’t care what Freo value because it stinks and the rest of the competition agree... 

Pick 5 is the foundation to move forward...  If not Jesse stays! I would be asking for Langdon and if I were the Dees I would be in his ear to leave. His brother doesn’t even want to go there! Or Tim Kelly. Freo are on the nose...

Freo want Pick 5 and more from Brisbane... But want too give nothing for Jesse. Please...! Freo need to get off the grass.

The Dees are the seller and have control. If the Dockers don’t want to buy at the asking price we’ll so be it. 

Sounds as though you would touch your toes for Pick 11 & 23...! 

I never said we should do that deal, i just said that 5 + Ed Langdon is a fairytale right now.  We might dig in and pull off 5+23 if Freo cave, but the mental health rumours suggest otherwise. Getting Langdon instead of 23 seems fanciful imo

If he plays a full season he wins the Coleman at FF.

Yes total outlier situation when we were bleeding goals. Akin to the last 2 minutes of quarters.  It's pulling the emergency cord.

The context of the question was using Hogan as starting CHB next year.

Are you seriously suggesting that we'll ever start TMac as key back in the future?  It's over - he's a key forward.

No I’m not but there will be multiple situations where Tom will be used down back other than the last 2 minutes of a 1/4. The coach clearly recognises he is still our best defender and uses him so. I would have a long chat to Goody to find out what his vision is  for Tom before he is consigned as a permanent forward. He might have expectations that he can use Tom as his go to man a la Croswell.

I'd rather Frost defending than Tom and that's saying something.

Time you started supporting the dockers, like Peter you have no idea.

 I am aware of a massive offer from NM to Oliver (who has some vague connection to them) that Oliver refused. This one never made the media.

 

Nice story 'GNF'.

Up there with Little Red Riding Hood & a few other tall tales.

Make it plausible by using North, they're throwing cash around like confetti. Problem is their offers are for free agents and out of contract players. Oliver is neither.

Olivers vague connection to North is that they are an AFL team & he is an AFL player.

It didn't make the media because it didn't happen.

I have no doubt when Oliver's next contract is due he will get some very large to massive offers and we will need to take good care of him.

Failmantle have some very strange ideas on sharing the money love. They signed Bennell on a 3 year $650k pa contract and kept Lachie Neale on $450k pa. There is every chance that Bennell will be gone soon (or at the very least get a new low $ contract) and if LN goes as well, that is a lot of money in the kitty. As well as any retirements, delistings and current underspend.

So you are right. Lots of salary cap space in the land of purple muppets.

The fact they resigned Ballantyne says plenty about these people from planet purple.

I'm with Lobby Lloyd with this one

Actually, I'd heard that one too.

Who is we. Do you mean we as a club or you and me.

If the latter, where did I give you permission to make up stuff about what I am thinking.

Anyway who are you?

If I had to choose between the posts of you and GNF, I know which I would believe and I am sorry but it wouldn't be yours.

Sucked right in.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
