I got a Bud to bear with this thread. It should be Lions.

Yes but in the interests of alliteration Buddy the Bear sounds much better.

    I really just wanted to say 'Bud to bear' Gonzo. I quite liked the title in all honesty.

    Strange to say the least if true

    I could understand GCS doing it to increase attendances but why when you have Daniher, Hipwood and Cameron would you want an ageing Buddy

    No one said what the Lions think yet have they? And he can replace Mc Stay at a goal per game in 2022!

    Hi Dazz. Our mail is that the Lions have offered 1 year at $750 and there is no certainty that even if the Swans match it now, he’d stay.  The other big news we’re hearing is that the Swans have told Josh Kennedy that they can’t guarantee him a game next year and surprisingly, rather than retire, he’s looking at 1 year offers from both the Kangas & GWS.  
    It appears the Swans are looking to move on from these two great Champions. 

    Also hearing that Geelong has made enquiries about Grundy.

    Thanks mate, great Intel 

    The Kennedy to North makes a whole heap of sense from a playing experience and leadership point of view. The loss of Cunnington this year had left a huge hole in their midfield.

    Other then the Jackson scenario, will we be active this trade period?

  • Quote

    Tim Lamb is always trying to be active and is very highly regarded by Player Managers. Naturally, it all depends on the Jackson scenario and how that washes out.  We are still of the view that he goes.

    Kennedy would be a great get for the Roos. They might have a few similar mids but you don't say no to that kind of leadership.

    Well the old churches leagues were just as bad and so was Federal Football League.

    Hah. Played a couple of years in that. Loved those unfenced grounds. If you followed the ball over the boundary into the spectators you'd cop half a dozen jabs to the kidneys on your way back on the field. Fun times !

    From a Swans perspective, I think it's pretty disappointing that Buddy would move for the money given the length of contract and money the Swans have forked out for him historically. Still, mayne their offer was very low-ball.

    Any news on Buddy since the potential lions one year deal? I find it hard to believe he would leave for a one year deal

    Another 52 goals. 3 contested marks and 2 goals in the prelim. 

    I wonder if the Demons are interested? I know I would be keen!

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
