Who's this Bruce Gibbs fella?

He played for Carlton once, like Bryce Doull ( who was a decent defender but had less hair) You surely remember him.

OMG.  Why not just close the club down, or  sell off Ollie, Brayshaw, Gawn and anyone else who could help us get somewhere?

I am 100% certain that GC$ would love to have Clarrie.

i'm pretty sure there would be 17 clubs lining up to get him, not just GCS.

1. Paying Oliver a mega deal would hurt the Suns, they have to pay every one of their current players 20% over to stay, they’d lose 4 to bring in one big money guy. Nice idea but it won’t happen.

2. Tom McDonald was the main man last year even with Hogan and we rarely played 3 talls together. We need Melsham back and a 3rd tall cover for Jake. Joel Smith was the plan. The draft is probably the long term answer.

3. Gibbs has lost pace and hunger for the ball, his future is probably as a half back and we’ve already got Jones for that.

4. Langdon is an obvious move and Butler is a nice proposition as well, he’s got that bit right.

Clarry is Red and Blue forever. I think that I will give up watching AFL if he leaves Melbourne.

How old was Ronald when he left, his playing career was over by then, he went to Carlton mostly as a coach, and why did he because norm smith told him to, if he wanted to coach.

The available range of emojis does not adequately accord with the mirth I am currently experiencing.

I am feeling most mirthsome.

The article didn’t suggest the Dees should trade Oliver, but rather the Gold Coast should target him... there’s a big difference.

If I were in charge of an horrendously underperforming side, I’d make overtures to ANY talented player also

If Gibbs and Lever are worth 2 first rounders, GC would need to stump up 3. Or 2 + Jack Martin.

Last player i would trade.

Yep, we would need 3 x number one picks to even get close to drafting a player as good as Oliver.

This is the sort of article you read in the off season. 

Click bait "r" us.

Why stop at Clarry, why not have a garage sale and sell the whole place?

Yes lets give up our good players to start yet another rebuild?

 

Now that is an interesting thought. Let's start  a topic anew: Who to trade at season's end - and how much will we get for these players? Or, Who not to trade under any circumstances - otherwise, empty to lists?

I'd start with the latter.

Gawn, Clarrie, Gus, Salem, Petracca, Frosty, May, Jetta, Melksham, J. Smith.

Goddard has always been a muppet. If Melbourne traded Clarry, that'd be it for me.

Goddard is correct, of course GC should go after Oliver, they’re a mess and they need A-grade talent. I obviously hope it doesn’t happen though.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
