All you can do is laugh.. 

1. How good is free agency... &

2. We're far from a destination club once again. 

If we had lost out to a bottom 8 club, then yes, you could argue that we aren't a destination club.

But the bloke took the easiest route of all and went to Geelong, who just playing off in a GF.  Can be hard to beat that.

@Dr evil's mail wasnt any different from the rest of insiders here and in the AFL as well. When Dr Evil posted it originally it was early and good intel. And we saw it play out in the media that the "Cats came late" and that "Hawthorn upped their offer". Yes, the double down was probably too much, but I'm happy for him to keep those insider tips coming!  

It was his doubling down that has now cost @Dr evil all credibility with any future mail that he purports to have. 

He was arrogantly adamant that Smith would be a Demon in 2021 that people were led to believe that a contract had been signed and the club was just waiting for the perfect media cycle window to roll him out.

I absolutely love whispers at this time of year but I've lost all confidence in his inside word. He pushed this one too hard and now has to live with the consequences that he is tarnished goods now. 

RIP sweet prince.

Also, [censored] free agency.

Cats are getting Cameron, Smith and Higgins without using a single draft pick. The system is massively broken.

I've said it many times, and I apologise to all for sounding like a broken record, but I hate Geelong with a passion.

I hate Paddy Duckingfield.

I hate Joel Duckwood

I hate the little tip rat Gryan Miers

I hate their fake tan of a coach in Chris Scott

And I hate their bandwagon fans.

I just hate Geelong.

People do change their mind. I don't blame the Dr at all.  I am happy to get info during trade week as I have a boring life.

Do you live there though? Only then can you truly feel the full force of hate.

GWS have made noise that the will match bids for Cameron and Higgins will need a trade. (Your point stands about free agency though.)

'tip rat' hahaha love it. True

Same, one of my favourite recent memories was being there when we knocked them out of the finals in 2018. Pains me to see them up there, and us down here, and I don't know how they keep attracting talent to keep the train moving, especially with Scott in charge, but gee I'd almost love to see us square off against them in a GF very soon and cause a Scott meltdown.

This is just my get feel, but reading everything that's come out in the past week, we may have cooled on Smith with other opportunities presenting themselves. Which is why we may not have pushed back when Geelong and Hawthorne made their late plays for him.

This is also my view. Trade options don't always present early on.

Mate, i totally understand people pointing out i got this one wrong. but surely you understand things change in silly season. as of 3 days ago when i last posted this my source of information was very confident he was coming. that's how quickly things change. 

Not a huge fan of being called a clown though, i have been pretty happy to cop getting this wrong, and i've been posting here for a long time. i don't really think name calling is needed. it's all a bit of fun. 

Sadly I feel you have dug your own grave here mate.

I personally like the info you have shared with us but perhaps your wording should have been a bit different.

Big difference between  "I am very confident he is coming" and "Smith will 100 percent be a demon" 

People on here can be very harsh on posters who share info that doesn't come to fruition. 

Anywho, I hope this doesn't deter you from sharing info you may receive.

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

Correct. He apparently wants to chase another premiership, and believed that was more likely at the Cats, even with less time and less money on offer.

Cats get Cameron, Higgins and Smith as free agents without needing to use a single draft pick. Mean we're over here having to trade two first round draft picks for an out of contract Jake Lever ? Free agency is broken!!!

Ah well, guess we start getting excited about Brodie Smith now hey? Has he ordered the polo yet?

No need, it's 'the sharing economy'. Just use the designated "Smith polo', should fit okay:

I’ve got a fun challenge for you. Find me a poster, journo or football commentator with a 100% ratio? Just one? I probably didn’t need to double down but if this is the standard you’re holding not sure most people can even trust their parents.

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. Fantastic player in his prime but getting him at all wasn't worth it in my view. I have the same view here.

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
