Absolutely love this mentality.

It's the same way I feel about May in particular. I think it would have been far more powerful to see him stay with the GCFC and go down in history as their first flag winning skipper.

Oh yeah I would simply love to Watch The AFL Franchaise win a Flag that nobody cares about, instead of The Demons break the drought!!

I'm glad for us he didn't.

But it feels like dew is building a culture where their guns will want to stay.

I really hope so, because It’s important the suns become a contender.

Fact or rumour @Redleg?

perhaps it’s all coincidental with the timing of his injury?
 

anyway I see it playing out like this

Why?

They are a manufactured team with no history, hardly any supporters and the supporters of other clubs couldn’t give a stuff about them. The AFL has gifted them a really good list, a couple of times, but we got nothing when we were struggling. So for the sake of TV rights they have done whatever they could to give them success 

As a Melbourne supporter, why is is important they are a contender?

Would you be happy to see them beat us in a GF.

From dogga's most recent insta post, is bowza secretly a demonland poster as well????

Anyone with a kid that's wants to send Dogga $10 note and a cute handwritten note asking him stay - I seem to recall that working on Chris Grant in the 90s (could be someone else but it worked then)

I'm pretty sure a kid did the same with Chip Frawley. It was $5 in a card and they found it in his locker after he'd cleared off.

Well we have been told his Manager would be in Melbourne this weekend by media sources and I think someone on DL.

We know Jacko stayed in Melbourne.

I assume our List Manager is in Melbourne.

So the slight PCL strain is just a cunning ruse!

Hopefully a slight strain, needing a week's rest if you are being cautious.

Allows time to do other things, like discussing your contract.

Yeah was reported on SEN a few days ago his manager was flying in this week to meet with the club 

Who knows what this means - everything can get done on a phone/email/ teams meeting - no need for face to face.... unless they feel the need to put some heat on in person - anyones guess why

Maybe they want to partake in the champagne that'll be popped when Jackson's signature hits the contract.

Or unless some papers need signing and witnessing by Manager and this can't be done electronically. (although these days counterparts can be signed remotely.  Maybe its the theatre of the thing?


Off-topic a little but can I remind everyone we have 2 games in 6 days with interstate travel and a bus trip to the cattery. Perhaps his knee injury won't stand up to 2 games in quick succession. Which game would you prefer he played? Adelaide or Cats! Even max may be better off waiting as we have a long break post the Geelong game.

I think if you wanted to leave your manager wouldn’t fly in for talks. You would just say email us your offer and we will consider it and then keep stalling.

This does sound a little promising.

But then again!

An alternate theory is that perhaps we think way, way more about Dogga’s contract than Dogga does. He does seem pretty happy go lucky. Perhaps he has only just become aware that his not signing is a thing and is going to now get it sorted?

No way would I do contract negotiations any way other than face to face

You have to feel the room and the moment and look into the eyes

I'm sure Jacko will stay on good money and a couple more premierships

That’s it the 50 minute bus trip to The Cattery 😉

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
