Who were the 2 Adelaide Players who refused to talk to each other a few years back? 
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

Comparing two players having a blue to a player with a history of making racist comments against indigenous players is a massive swing and a miss, even by your standards.

I’m Sure Steven May would sort out Mr Walker in 5 minutes, if he walked in the door….

He kicks Clutch goals, so it is worth considering

Regardless of poor character, we don't need a 30+ KPF.

If we want to trade, they should be 23-24 but it's more likely we head to the draft and pick up some young talent

What does this mean? What is May going to do? 

You know what we can do for Steven, Kozzi, Deakyn, Toby, and AMW? 

Live up to the words we are spouting and act in a way that values indigenous people and their contribution to the game.

And that doesn’t include recruiting a repeated racist and a bloke that cared more about his own reputation than an individual he abused by constructing a public apology with the victim as a prop.

So yeah, nah.

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

Our mail is that Darcy Gardiner is almost a lock to Collingwood as a Free Agent and the Lions are the Club that is genuinely interested in Tex.

That makes sense.

The lions are definitely in the premiership window, so tbst fits.

And with the way they play, they need their tall forwards firing and bringing it down to their gun medium forwards.

In terms of talls, they've got some good ones. But for various reasons, they all have some questions marks about them.

At his best, Daniher is a star. But he is a game to game proposition, let alone season to season, in terms of consistency and staying fit and injury free.

Hipwood is a star too. But might take a while to get back after his acl, and is a little one dimensional, in that if he is not kicking goals he doesn't add much (though is a terrific field kick).

I rate Mcstay, he has good dukes and competes hard. But he is no star, and i thought I read he is maybe looking to leave.

Walker would slot into their forward line perfectly, and would love the quick way the lions move the ball into their 50 (creating lots of one on ones) and how direct they are.

I would be disappointed in the club if they went after Walker. We can’t talk about supporting our Aboriginal players then recruit someone who made a stupid racist comment.

I think we should chase McStay he is a Flemington straight better than Weid, and the Browns 

As shown in yesterdays Casey game JVR is a long way off

After last night I would have him in a heartbeat. The problem is how many players around 23-24 can we poach,steal, lure or kidnap that would make an instant impact?

Genuine chance of happening apparently.

Rumour is talks, and potentially offers, have happened.

 

Very interesting Nev.

I'm actually not against the move. Gives JVR a chance to develop while we use TMac Brown & Walker short term.

There is no hiding from it now our forward half is a shambles atm

Yeah 100%. Don't know how much of a chance, Walker may decide he wants to stay at the Crows, but just heard the Dees were keen.

All good mate, I understand nothing is set in stone and lots of water to go under the bridge.

Thanks for the info.

I'm glad we're looking in to the issue of forward half representation.

I always knew TMac played a role but wowee have we fallen off a cliff dramatically without him.

Yeah for sure. Weid is the interesting watch for mine too. I reckon he was as good as gone earlier in the year, Goody seen enough, but with Daw, M.Brown and Jackson all quite possibly gone he probably stays but may depend on the Walker call.

Although only one game Weid didn't do too badly as the 2nd ruck vs the crows either.

Will be interesting to see how they throw the forward line together for the next 6 weeks

Wouldn't be the first time a business has sprouted empty rhetoric about supporting women, LGBTI people or Indigenous Australians and then acted in complete contradiction to the supposed values it champions.

I'd much prefer we chase a Larky, Ben King or a younger guy that won't have a corrosive impact on our culture, make a mockery of our off field values and be around for the next 8 or so years.

Given your high degree of moral feeling on this you'll be conflicted if he comes won't you?  What will you do?

Personally I believe in forgiveness and would welcome him so long as the indigenous boy were good with it.  It's their feelings that matter.  And boy he'd add to our team.

Pretty much everyone would, including the club, I reckon. There was goss we were looking into King before he re-signed, doesn't seem likely now though. I really really like Larkey, would love us to have a crack, but he's contracted until end of 2024, and given he's only just turned 24 we probably wouldn't be able to entice North with draft picks.

All that said, there's no reason we couldn't bring in Walker AND bring in another young key forward. We'll lose a few key talls this year anyway.

He made a mistake and does deserve a second chance. 
 

If you could get Larkey or King or any other established KPF, then we wouldn’t be looking at Taylor.

I believe similarly. Being conflicted is to believe in something so that’s fine. I will always believe that he and the Crows woefully managed his apology however, no matter what colours he wear.

    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.

    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

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.

    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.
