Surely not.......

Only connection I can put is the Simon Goodwin relationship having been joint partners of the Alma Hotel in Adelaide....

I imagine there are connections with other clubs, too. For example, Walker and Dangerfield were teammates for a long time. Dare I say, Walker also fits Geelong's age profile, too. 

Nevertheless, if the story has any basis in truth at all, I could see Sydney needing a replacement for Buddy.

While I doubt it's us, he would add potency in an area where we  can appear to need new options... i.e. tall forward. And on his day is a genuine gun.

Lol. I love a posting click bait threads but even I wouldn't post this. 😜

PS: Not accusing you of click baiting just that there is no way we are in any way connected to this.

Surely Tex could not leave the Crows given the song and dance he did about loyalty when Lever left them.

I hope he does leave so I can pay him out even more for being an absolute hypocrite.

Would have to be Freo IMO. Or Sydney if Buddy has indicated he's retiring at years end.

Is Sydney really considered a premiership contending team?

Could easily be Pies or Tiges as well. They think they are close.

I normally would say getting a tall forward capable of kicking 60 goals plus in a year would be a good idea since Tomald and BBB have both ticked over 30. I would have reservations about one who is 32. But I would draw a line in the sand with Tex.

I vehemently disagreed with voices that equated the very rightful condemnation of what he said with some type of unjust public stoning at the time him making racial slurs were revealed. That said, I think that the sheep like booing of Walker when he touches the ball is mindless and unproductive. He served his sentence, nearly lost his career and has to live with the fact that he said something reprehensible about a young man just wanting to play football. It's his time now to be better and I'm not sure this helps.

That said, as a club who has been sensational on reconciliation and reaching out to the indigenous community, I'm not sure this would send a particularly good message. I am all for rehabilitation and redemption, but I don't think him coming to us so soon after the fact would be good for club harmony nor image. 

Plus, I wonder how Jake Lever would feel with Tex in the locker room? They claim they are over it, but in light of how the story unfolded, I'd be pretty annoyed if I were Rick.

Carlton or Brisbane with an outside chance of North

Wont be the Lions with their 3 tall forwards.

Don't think Blues either with their 3 tall forwards.

Can't see it being us, with LJ and Gus to re-contract and Weid and JVR outside the best 22 atm.

I think the Dogs, Swans, Dockers and Cats, if Hawkins has indicated he is retiring, are the main chances, if it is indeed true.

If i was picking one, I would say the Dogs have the biggest need.

    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! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    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

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
