We’re the only team he kicks bags against, if he played with us, would he kick bags for us...???

He'd kick 19 in our intraclub match.

    Can anyone explain why we aren’t looking at Josh Bruce?

    We can't look at every single player on the market.  We have to focus our attention on a few.

    I'd also wager that we see other aspects of our side, such as small forwards and outside run, as more important to fill during this off season.

    Well we don’t know. Just odd that all the focus are on small forwards when we have a tall deficiency also. Weid - not ready yet and TMac - don’t think he can take the number 1 forward role or defender.

    I was thinking about this earlier. We do need a good tall forward, Bruce is too inconsistent for mine. I heard a whisper that we’re into Gunston and Hawks are after draft picks. #Isthatatradebreak? #Yesitis #ETthetradebreakerdoesitagain

    I actually think he's what we need.

    One of the best contested marks in the league and would add critical depth to our forward line. 

    We can't have a repeat of the second Sydney game where we literally ran out of key forwards.

    I hope there's an element of truth in that.

    Absolutely, i cant understand it and people say we might be, but that would have been reported by now.. surely with Richo in the club he would know a bit about him and what he can do he  would be ideal for us.. its bizarre as Weid is not established, Tommy Mc is injury prone and basically ha done good year up fwd, Petty who knows??

    This is what annoys me from the outside, Dogs being pro active and not us.

    Apparently the Dogs are offering a deal 'too good to refuse'. Whether that's $$$ or unlimited trips to the barber to perm up his man-bun, who knows?

    Why is it silly? i have said who knows what we are doing but it tends to get out if we are into players, so from the outside it seems like we are not being pro active enough, Langdon? is that it?

    It would appear the Club is damned if it leaks and damned if it doesn't.  Some people just like to whinge.

    Dogs sure do like to trade in key forwards don't they?

    Learnt their lesson from Jarrad Grant the hard way, then got smart about it.

    Really? What lesson was that? They drafted one of the best up and coming forwards with an early pick just 2 years ago.

    So apparently it was mentioned on SEN this afternoon and then later on channel 7 that we are making a late play for Bruce?

    Did anyone catch this??

    I thought he’d agreed to the Dogs on personal terms, was just a matter of the clubs putting a suitable trade together. Unless we pull a Sydney-Lockett style rug pulling why would he have reason to change his mind. Dogs would surely have more $$ than us to offer

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
