Daniel Bradshaw is 43yo now.  I know we need a key forward but leave that age recruiting to Geelong.

Don't be silly, old.

He was clearly referring to Darren Bradshaw, who is Daniel's younger brother. He's only 41 now.

    Both of you - wrong. He is obviously talking about former Pittsburgh Quarterback Terry Bradshaw. But he is turning 74 this year and I just don’t think we want to commit to a short term option at Quarterback especially considering he really plays a different system and also our sport doesn’t have that role within the rules…

    A  question:

    1. Do we really think Luke would go from a premiership team with a realistic chance to win 2 or 3 more over the next 5 years, to a side which probably won’t be in the window for the next 5-7 years. Sure he would be paid maybe 25% more at the Eagles in his home state, but it is a lot to give up, and it is not as though he would be poorly paid at the Dees. I rather suspect that after we win our second flag in two years, and with every prospect of a couple more after that, that he just might stay with us to get the glory that that represents. 

    Absolutely

    The Age: "Industry sources said the Magpies are not sitting on their hands and are making preparations to be in a position to either put an offer to De Goey or match any offer he accepts from another club to force a trade with the Saints, potentially offering a long-term deal to the match-winning midfielder". 

    Smart play by Collingwood.  If they let him go as an Unrestricted FA they get nothing or very little for him as any AFL compensation pick is offset against the incoming Mc Stay FA comp pick Brisbane get.

    I would also like to see them come a cropper but Coll hold all the cards.

    Once DeGoey accepts another club's offer there is little wriggle room for that club.  They either pay up in a forced trade ala Geelong and Cameron or they walk away from DeGoey.  The latter has never happened for an FA or an out of contract player.

    They are shaping up to significantly improve their list.

    I’d guess premiership flags are less important to modern footballers than people think

    Unfortunately Luke is under his mothers full control. Mentally he is still a kid. Luke loves the club and his mates, but his mother who is a massive Freo supporter is demanding his return home.  Our only hopes is the penny drops with Luke over the finals, or that Freo cant come up with a trade, West Coast becomes an option and Luke's mum tells Luke to wait another 2 years as the though of him playing for West Coast is intolerable.

    Option C. Goodwin, Pert & Gawn lead an expedition to penetrate the Jackson Compound deep in Freo territory by stealth and convert Grandma Dogga into a Demon. Convincing her in the process, to use the threat of changing her will, to garner the Mother's support in allowing Jackson to stay at the Dees for another 2, possibly 10 years.

    If she's so controlling why did she let him leave in the first place?

    Does a club have to prove they can actually accommodate a co tract within their cap when matching a FA offer? Or can the Pies say "we'll match" to force a trade without actually having the space in the cap?

    i expect they could because at the trade stage the total salary amount is not yet fixed. it would only be really fixed post draft.

    however it would be a real risky ploy to bid a price you couldn't fit into your expected cap and i don't think clubs would risk it as just a tactic unless they could bear the potential outcome if the other side just bailed out

    Just saw that Port may enter the race for Brodie Grundy. If that is the case and Jacko leaves, would we potentially look at Sam Hayes from Port to play with Max as a younger ruck option? He dominates at SANFL level and is only 23.

    • 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.
