New List Manager - Tim Lamb?

I thought an interesting comment from Tim was that he wanted another high pick, but didn't really have anyone in mind and would take the best player there at that pick.

That could be true or not, but he certainly keeps others guessing, which could lead to some more movement.

    was that Scoop Maclure’s Geelong microphone at the presser? Could’ve been any one of their’s really…

    I am getting pretty annoyed that McLure is referred to as Scoop, as that is actually my nickname and I have had it for 50 years, so he should get another one. Mine was accurate.

    Tim, IMO, has remained very restrained in answering Sam Manure's questions.

    I would have said "Sam, you've banged on about Clayton being desperate to get to the Cats for two weeks. If you'd listened to Andrew Mackie you would have heard that it was Clayton's manager who contacted Geelong believing that a change of club would be in his (Clayton's) best interest. Given that the manager would have picked up a tidy commission on a new contract, it certainly would have been in his interest for Clayton to move to Geelong."

    We have engineered 4 picks inside the top 12 in the past 2 years. For a club that has been at the pointy end of the ladder most of that times, that is a great result.

    Apologies if triggering but if it makes you feel any better I always assumed Scoop of the Sam variety was a reference to a pooper scooper

    - One of them (Duke) was linked to LJ (who we acquired by finishing very low in ‘19)

    - one of them was because we finished 10th this year

    - one of them (9 this yr) we’ve paid a hefty price for, both current picks and future 

    I think we are going ok on this front but I’d stop short of being amazed about how we’ve do it after ‘being at the pointy end of the ladder most of the time’

    Maybe.

    Success is not linear though. There are ups and downs. You have to make the downs count and I think we have done a reasonable job at that.

    Not so the ups. We should have collected another flag imo

    McClure's smacks of self appointed nickname syndrome.

    He definitely does have players in mind. Im confident we have targeted a player at 9, who will likely will be gone by 13 which is why we shifted our strategy to targets the dons pick instead of GCs.

    But like a good club we won't show our hand.

    I wish.

    It was because I actually was first with all the news for my mates. They would say what’s the scoop today. Then they started calling me scoop and some still do today.

    I even have a cap with Scoop printed on it.

    I'm not so sure that was the reason. GC were being difficult to deal with and everyman and his dog were trying to get p13

    The Dons had a need for all our picks so they ended up being a better suitor. Maybe others hadnt tried Essendon because in years gone by they have been so difficult to deal with?

    I think our team does a good job overall. .We get dudded sometimes but only if we want to do the deal and generally only if we dont need some of those higher picks

    Other teams know that we are good to deal with and I suspect that gives us some good capital in dealing

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
