i guess with higgins out a larger priority for them because they owe the player more for what he's given them and teh false hope they gave him last year. they'd rather he left (salary cant be an issue for north) and they need some bodies about to lead by example and take pressure off all the kids. but ultimately you'd think theyd rather the 32yo who will be dusted in a year or two over the expensive 27yo

Selections from an article in the Herald Sun... The Demons have shown some interest but are unlikely to part with more than a late draft pick to nab the speedster. Melbourne is also not prep

Randomly looking through North's bigfooty page and saw this.. Someone rang up Adelaide radio yesterday saying he’s spoken to Jared’s brother who had told him Jared was going to be traded to Melbo

He made it up. For example, we're paying Goodwin $46 million a year.

Wouldn't mind guessing it might end up being a straight swap between Oscar McDonald and Jared Polec. 

North were interested in Oscar in his draft year, and given a few of their key backs are older/leaving, he'd definitely appeal.

It'd just be about how we sort that large Polec contract...

Their bizarre trading decisions could be explained if they were stone broke, but it's (the cap) paid by the AFL. It would explain getting rid of all the staff though.

everyone seems fairly aware of what it is now tho, yeah?

i guess just a matter of time

Perhaps, but the person's well being and privacy and that of his family are paramount.  The longer it stays out of mainstream media the better.

Therr is a bigfooty rumor getting around about Shaw.

Pretty devastating if true.

North have real problems if the rumors are true. Place seems fractured at all levels.

We enquired about Polec and started talks, but things haven't progressed for variety of reasons and a trade seems unlikely now.

Trade TMAC for Polec. Both are on ridiculous coin but we would get more value out of Polec, as we could put him on the opposite wing. Throw OMAC in the deal. North will need a both forwards and backs with the impending departures of Brown and Tarrant, and we need a quality wing. We get no value out of TMAC, he is done. Replace him with Hogan if we can get him cheap - which we should be able to.

gary buckenera on polec's value:

Polec is an interesting situation. He’s on a good contract so that complicates things. If I was list manager I would want to keep him. But if Rhyce Shaw wants him out and a club is willing to pay his whole wage, then the Kangaroos will basically trade him for nothing. In other words, a salary dump. If the Kangaroos still pay some of his wage, then a pick around 40 would be a decent deal. This is how poor list decisions hurt.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
