Genuine chance of happening apparently.

Rumour is talks, and potentially offers, have happened.

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.

The selective quoting is a low act.

 

 

I love this club and I have no reason to doubt our management, given it's been impeccable for a long time now.

But I would have had a very hard time reconciling getting Walker to the club, no matter how good a player he is or how badly we need another established key forward.

Thank goodness that is off the table now. The man is a cultural cancer. He can enjoy his empty trophy cabinet at Adelaide.

Thank christ. One less geriatric that gets bandied on these boards to put up with.

Haha of course. Would have been surprised if he didn't stay a 1 club player, but thought a slightly longer contract might have tempted him. For reference, the rumour came directly (not directly to me though) from the team bus after the Geelong game.

There was no team bus…

‘Nev’ I quoted your post in it’s entirety. The selective quoting was in relation to when you deleted parts of another posters larger post to suit your narrative. No need to get your knickers in a twist.

I also heard a rumour from a bus driver once - but when the bus went below 50 the bomb didn’t explode, so me, Keanu and Sandra just got off at our stop.

I thought I saw footage of Bowey getting into his car and driving himself there. Would make sense so as to minimise spread of covid, flu, fan gossip, etc

On topic thank heavens not..

Sorry, who’s getting outraged by trivial stuff?

Wait, what?

 

YOU were outraged by the trivial matter of Tex having a crack at Lever for leaving, and considered it a "strike" for which he was given a chance to come back from.

 

Take a look at yourself mate. Laughable.

Was there a specific reason why he lost the captaincy? Or was it just a decision made to 'focus on footy'?

Sorry layzie, I don’t know and to be honest I don’t care. It is my hope that this thread closes so that his name is not a focus on DL anymore. Of course that is just my bias that the MFC and TW should never be spoken of in the same sentence (like I just did……spit!)

Haha appreciate the honesty Froggy! Probably time to wind it up!

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.

Maybe stone was meaning the threepeat?

I said it was an “incident”. Do you know what “incident” actually means? It’s something “incidental”. Would you have liked me to call it a “happening”? An “occurrence”? A “whoopsy”?

It was a slightly-newsworthy incident (and remember, incident doesn’t have to mean “big deal”) of a captain publicly potting (twice, mind you) an ex-player for changing clubs. That’s all. I wasn’t “outraged” by it. Just another dumb-arss feather in his dumb-arss cap. But as is typical of you lot (people who think anyone who has a problem with Tex Walker is an “activist”), you’re far more eager to be outraged than anybody, but the hypocrisy is absolutely lost on you.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
