    I can't see us wanting him, so it is allegedly a club in the premiership window, but not the Demons? Very short list.

    the obvious one is freo with lobb likely to look eastwards again and the crab not getting much luck with his body. however i wouldn't be opposed to seeing him at melbourne. he improves our side, simply. he's a better forward than tmac and a different type still to dogga and [censored] brown and as an older player flag hunting he won't ask for buckets of cash. i also back in our culture on connectedness to indigenous australia to teach him a thing or two which will be good for everybody

    3 cubits or 6 British Thermal Units, depending on which state you come from.

    It was confirmed on SEN that Gold Coast have contacted Tex Walker. But how you can define them as in the Premiership Window, I don’t know.

    I’m torn about this. If it was about pure skill  and impact. He is what we need right now as we don’t have time to wait for JVR or others to develop. Walker is a great CHF. Does he have it in him for another 1-2 years? He would be pretty cheap too I’d imagine

    it’s his history and character that could destabilise our culture. The stuff he said to Lever can be worked through but his recent indiscretions and racist remarks is a bit harder to swallow. But everyone deserves a second chance.

    If he is after a final Contract, that may take him deep into September, he has to behave, otherwise he is out the door. I would make it very easy to understand

    Andrew Mcleod and…?

    It is not mandatory to love all of ones workmates. 
     

    Walker is worth considering 

    He still takes strong narks and kicks clutch goals

    I realise you're only being serious*, but there are problems with this scenario.

    1.  He can't play for us this year so won't be part of 2022's back to back.

    2.  If he plays in our 2023 premiership team, we would have gone back to back to back.

    3.  If we don't win it this year but go back to back in 2023 and 2024, Tex will be about 45 years old by then.

    It's all too difficult to envisage and therefore unlikely for mine.

    * This post is equally as serious.

    Not a great example to use!

    The 2006 crows should have won the flag that year but self imploded.  They were 1st on the ladder when the McLeod/Edwards feud exploded and then lost something like 5  games in a row and just managed to keep 2nd spot with a win in the final game (against who else but us!). Then they crashed out in a home preliminary final.

    Not saying having players that hate each other  was the cause but it sure didn’t help judging by how quickly that season went south when the feud went public (it got worse post season and in 2007).

     Culture is everything. This is not the early 2000s. 
    It is vitally important that whoever comes into the club fits into the culture. Walker might be a good player but he would be a poor cultural fit. 
     

    A club which just renamed itself after its indigenous name is not going to go after a guy who was banned for a racial slur.

    He just might be a good boy living in Melbourne. I am not advocating we get him, but it should be looked at very seriously. Walker kicks big goals, and our forward line is far from settled

    I don’t thnk Mcleod and Edwards were the reason the Croms choked. They did it more than once. I often worked with people I didn’t like, but particularly during Live Shows i still respected what their role was and did my part in the chain

    This is spot on. Him in his current or last years form, BB and Bailey in the same forward line. Try stopping that. 
     

    On the flip side… I think Roos’ no [censored] policy also set us on the right path. 
     

    Tex is more a [censored] than he is worth vs him as a player IMO.

    I’m a big believer in second chances also but geez… he’s a hand grenade to bring into our club especially.

    Tex would be a better option than  Weid . Could be a big help to Van Rooyen. Worth considering if the price is right.

    • 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.
