    Yeah I remember the Hoges outburst. Definitely something to it all, think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle though, not sure Hoges is the most reputable source, especially on twitter.

    I'm not sticking up for Morris, all I was saying is that he obviously has connections at MFC.

    isn't the biggest knock on treloar his disposal? + im sick of us trying to sign players and repurpose them, particularly on the wing. if we want a wingman get phillips

    It is, though Phillips is hardly the greatest kick either. Seems that over the last 5 years Phillips has a disposal efficiency of about 71.5% and Treloars is a tick over 68%, hardly polls apart. If we can land Treloar we should take it. Don't get me wrong, would be happy with Phillips, but would be happier with Treloar.

    when u put it like that its hard to argue, but if the difference is that minor and we know phillips avg25 touches when he played a full year on the wing, i'd take him to save budget for clarry, trac, gawn, salo

    I really didnt want to offer him a fat three year contract, but I was salivating at the thought of a quick fix to our biggest hole for 2021.

    I hope we have something else lined up for the wing. I dont want to see vandenBerg plugging that position again.

    Don't be disappointed, I won't be.

    I think Brown is the big fish atm and if we get him we have done well.

    Smith is a little aging fish and old fish can be very smelly and you don't want them hanging around smelling up the place for 3 years.

    I think we can find younger better fish than Smith.

    Only thing I like re: Smith is that we get him for free.  Yes, it's being mooted that we've offered him three years, but I think he would see out most of that contract and, outside a spot on the list, we haven't given up anything to get him.

    And while I wouldn't say no to Phillips, and I'm lukewarm to Polec, we would need to get a trade done to get them (not to mention the expensive contract Polec is on) and I'm not sure we have the picks to do it.  

    Having said that, we will get something for Preuss and if we can flick Tom McDonald then we might get something half decent for him as well, so that might help us land someone else if Smith goes Geelong.

    As I understand the way it has evolved, The MFC have been talking with Smith off and on for some time with a view to looking at getting him in the door at this time. Talking progressed to negotiations and an outline of a deal had generally been agreed. It is on the table but as the discussion progressed other opportunities in the market opened up as teams began to finish their seasons and player/club positions gained a bit more clarity. I do not think the MFC want to, at this stage add any sweetener to the pot for Smith.

    the market has also changed for Smith with Geelong looking hard at framing a deal and Hawthorn also wanting to do the best to retain him. 

    The market for both parties has evolved and it is not finished.

    I did hear a couple of player names, Phillips being one, But I do not want to name them at the moment as the information was flimsy at best, and I have seen the beating the Doc is taking and, to be honest, I do not have the time or the inclination to defend myself every other post.

    Sometimes things for free aren't worth the price.

    I think I have morphed into a philosopher.

    Well that's slightly disappointing... but there are other fish for us to potentially catch in the AFL sea.

    Plenty to still play out.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
