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??

Was it from the hosts or did someone call in?

    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

    The suitable trade hasn’t been found. 

    Both parties have valued his worth differently at this point

    And it's always good to up his value and make sure the Dogs pay top price ???

    I cant see us offering much better. Unless we offer this years or next years 2nd (one of which is going for Langdon) then I don’t see him going to us

    Yes i heard this on the trade game, don't mind it at all, they'd be after our 2nd rounder isn't that pick 21?

     If everything else fell into place with salary/ contract yrs etc.

    Would represent a good bit of business.

    Saints clearing the decks for Ben King to come on board next year.

    That’d be going to Fremantle for Langdon I’d say.

    Perhaps on trading the Frost pick..?  I have no idea what that might be, but Frost for Bruce sounds close to the mark.

    If we really are into him I hope we get him, not because I rate him but if we miss out we’re going to start looking like Norf soon.

    Is his middle name Basil?

    My first thought was no way (Bruce more valuable than Frost) but then I checked this year's B & F results - they both finished 9th!

    My issue is everyone is saying saints need to clear space to get king. If we grab him we have no room for king (salary cap wise). So if we want king it's a no, if they want a second round pick (one to Freo and one to saints to me is a no as well as the draft is so even this year especially). But the club will do whatever it wants.

    I think the Saints need to take care of this year's shopping list before they look to King.

    They need picks and cash to cover Hill, Jones, Ryder, etc.

    Something's gotta give.

    Hill for 6  is easy but then Howard, Jones, Ryder and Butler maybe, when their next pick is 59.

    I suppose the picks for Bruce and Steven could get Jones and Howard and Ryder could be 59 and Butler could be a 2020 pick.

    They have cap room and lose Bruce/Newnes/Steven and others to make more room.

    It depends how far apart the negotiations are. The Aints need some good numbers to help get all their other deals done. 

    The Dogs know it

    We should be waiting, just off to the side..

    Not his middle name, however..

    In the 1939 Sherlock Homes movie, Holmes and Watson were played by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce respectively. This is how he got the nickname.....Basil.

    It’s pretty well documented that the players’ collective-favourite author is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, so that checks out.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
