Anyone watching Tex today is gonna have to think twice about not wanting him at the dees. He’s destroying us… with some help from the umps. 

Ben Brown used to do the same. Hasn’t gotten a free kick since he’s been at Melbourne. 
At least he isn’t a [censored] human.

Our core business is winning at footy, with that in mind we have a need to get into bed with the Texan.

I disagree, from a business perspective our goal is to build our supporter base and thus our market share.

I can't see Tex bringing any supporters with him.

Bluey you are correct completely.  I'll barto is wrong. Let's get in board or into bed whichever is more fruitful with the Texan  and love him as one of our Demon youngsters if he improves our team.

Can confirm his Gran has put an offer in on a house in Cranbourne East. Make of this what you will. 

She wants to watch him train once a week at Casey Fields, and maybe play there also !!! 

Get her a bus to the G if Tex Makes  it at the Dees Plus a cheeseboard and the premiership Shiraz or the Demon Gin.

Geez, they still love him over there. Could be a culture killer for us though. If we did pick him up I'd live with it if I knew we could afford to drop him after the preliminary final so he couldn't win a premiership medal.

If it was anybody else playing this way, we would be begging to get him.

His football is very good, everything else leaves a bit to be desired - although I think he would be a long way from the only one acting in the way he is, just unfortunately all happened very publicly for him (Lever, indigenous boys etc)

Fail to see why he'd be a culture killer. The Hawks recruited a 20kg overweight Stewie Dew, and he was largely responsible for winning them a flag.

How are they comparable?

 

I see the allure of a Walker. But the intangibles really worry me within what this team has built. Do we ask the leaders to manage another DH? Honestly, ask me again in 3 months after watching this forward line…

Stewie Dew clearly didn't worry about his diet like a professional sportsman should.

Whilst you may not forgive Tex for his prior indiscretions, maybe the Melbourne players don't see themselves as perfect, and are more forgiving.

Would be very easy to get Walker into the Club. Just need to word the Contract very carefully. 
Any indiscretions and the deal is null and void. 
Ben Cousins lasted 2 years at Richmond, Walker isn’t at that level

Tex is a highly skilful player, I love watching him play regardless what most think of him outside footy. He’s played some great footy over the last couple of years. I’d gladly take him.

I literally can’t stand him. Rationally he might be great for us. Irrationally I want to throw up at the thought of this man lining up in red and blue. 

I fully endorse this level of irrational crazy

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
