Apparently on a truck load of money as the contract goes on. Back ended and pies maybe looking to invest in a key forward. Not many win a flag without a key forward.

    He is going to gold cast, just playing hard to get so he and his manager can attempt to drive up his value. That's my opinion

    You should put the opinion proviso part at the start of the otherwise seemingly definitive statement. I'll show you an example: 'In my opinion he is going to the Gold Coast, just playing hard to get so . . .' etc. followed by any other random speculation you wish to include. I don't mean to be a [censored], but the world will be a much better place if everyone just followed these simple rules.

    I get the feeling the Pies see a chance of pick 5 and a young key forward in the draft and the Suns see the chance of getting a gun mid when they've had a heap of picks as is.

    His biggest flaw is rushed disposal. His second biggest flaw is availability. But the deal makes too much sense for both clubs not to look at.

    As much as we need an injection of inside pace I don't think he's what we need or worth the risk.

    He is 100% gone from the Pies. 

    Collingwood suggested they would facilitate a trade up north to go with his family, he has turned around and said he wants to be strictly traded to a Melbourne based club

    you can't seriously be complaining about the order in which something is written ... time for you to go to bed after your glass of milk

    Again, it would be great if this was prefaced with 'In my opinion', or 'I've heard', or 'I've been reliably told by a solid source', or 'I read on Bigfooty that' etc.

    Does it really make a difference if I say I have a reliable source ? My source is quiet high up at Collingwood & always is on the money with his tip offs so I'd take this too the bank (as Robbo once said)

    A big no from me. Is a massive gut runner but is possibly the biggest butcher by foot in the AFL. Particularly on the money he is on. 

    At least he gains territory, I reckon he would play similarly to langdon but with more pace

    Langdon is pinpoint in comparison, granted I think he also improved markedly over the season. I dont see the point of gaining territory if it just comes straight back over your head.

    Langdon is not pin point. Literally coughed up an opportunity to goal to pass off with no pressure against essendon as one recent example.

    A year would be okay, 2 maybe, 3 a big no.

    It does help if you note the general nature of the source - not that I would expect you to divulge the second part. But the response (admittedly grumpy - pre-trade time does my head in) was in respect to constantly having to determine if statements in these threads are mere speculation or derive from gleaned information. I acknowledge that you provided some further detailed info which would help to deduce the latter, but I don't know if this is being repeated from the radio or somewhere else or whatnot. Anyway, thanks for sharing what you've been told. It is appreciated.

    Yes - if you have mail, or you're suggesting you have mail, I think it's fair to indicate that. Separate yourself from those who are just speculating with their own opinions.

    It's true some (myself included from time to time) will question your sources, but if you do have a good source, I'd prefer to know when you're passing on info vs when you're just offering your own opinion.

    Wanted him a few years back, but his contract is too big for us if we want to keep Petracca and Oliver happy.

    Very strange from the Pies. They Liked him enough to trade him in. He has gotten better if anything with the pies and now they’ve basically told him to [censored] off? Not great player management. Some injury concerns but he has some good years left. They must have their eyes on a big trade. Or maybe it is cap space for De Geoy?

    sidebottom and pendels are really getting on. Beams and Treloar gone too. Bit light on in the middle. And Grundy struggling too

    • 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?

      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.
