We can’t even attract a 32yo with a 3 year deal vs 2 from the cats???

it does fit the narrative that some people on here are finding hard to swallow. 

Don’t listen to the haters @Dr evil, things change. I’m sure you’re aware of the trade that’s about to break. Actually I wouldn’t say break.....I’d say.....blown apart. 

 

Rory Atkins to the Suns at $400000 and 3 years another winger move.


Think Andy will have his finger hovering over the 'delete post' button here for a while!

Keep posting evil doctor. Great that you can take it in your stride and not throw the toys out of the cot, unlike some others. Its certainly been a fun couple of days in this thread 

Youll get more hits than miss, I reckon

4yrs*

At the end of the day player at club who came 15th decides to leave them, has offer from team that came 9th but signed for team that made the Grand Final. 

Back to the drawing board for that wing spot

I stand corrected?

Honestly if we gave him a longer deal and he chose to run to an easy option in Geelong thinking he can sneak in another meaningless premiership, so be it. I wish him luck, and have zero interest in players like him. 


Yep confirmed campaigner.

I like to set a good example for the more short tempered of us moon!

How many of you think the Jordan Lewis trade was a success? For mine, it was largely a waste of time. Anything he might have done for culture was countered by him doing all of [censored] all on the field for three years, and was even one of our worst in the 2018 finals series which was one of his selling points at time of trade.

Not upset about missing Smith, but that's simply untrue about Lewis. 3rd and 10th in the Bluey in 17 & 18, and was one of our best in the first 2 finals (with an all time shocker against the eagles in the prelim). I don't understand the hate on here.

At least give us a riddle.


@Dr evil won't be the first and last who gets it wrong. What I do hope is that it won't be the last that he posts info that he has.

You just keep feeding those Rumours doc.

Appreciate that dazzle. Apologies for the disappointment I’ve caused to any posters. its a strange time of the year

As to the Doctor: the issue I have is not that he passed on news that we were in the box seat for Smith, but that he passed on news that he'd already signed (the Doctor was adamant it had happened). If he's going to Geelong, clearly the Doctor's mail on Smith was incorrect.

This is what I was pointing out yesterday.

I don't understand many posters. 

It's obvious to me that unless you've seen the signed contract with your own eyes, why on earth would one ever set themselves up in the way that @Dr evildid by making ultimatums?

@Dr evil deserves what has come on this site because of poor word choice. 

Nothing more nothing less. 

Hopefully a lesson learnt for the future pal.

Yep, I'm more interested in the guys with character who are ready for some pain, but also excited about what they can help build. A premiership with us would be wayyyyy more rewarding than having to deal with Scott and his merry band of circle jerks.

Apologies? Mate, you're not supposed to apologise when you get it wrong on Demonland. You should be making excuses and covering your tracks!

BTW, I knew you were wrong all along. Smithy told me last week

It was a rookie error by Evil to be so adamant re his mail.

Always leave yourself some wriggle room.

As for Geelong ?  Was it the oldest GF team in history ?  And they're just getting older with Higgins and Smith.  Somewhat baffling.

Oh how I'd love to beat them in a final again at the G in 2021 and watch Smith trudge off.

Consider the toys out of the cot moon. Speak to you in two weeks. 

The club was bonkers for offering a 3 year contract to a 31 year old. surely the club has learnt through players like jetta and mcdonald that the end comes quickly. i'm stoked we didn't get Smith.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
