I thought this was all BS, obviously this rumour has legs would be tied up in the Tomlinson trade if it were to happen.

    Not sure we can afford him without Tommo going out.  And we need to keep him with Weid going to the Druggies

    I understand Lachie Hunter has had a few personal issues?

    Hopefully he is over them and is doing better.

    I guess if he is keen to come to the Melbourne Demons he may as well nominate us then?

    I really hope we aren’t interested in Hunter, to me he is Spargo without the tackling pressure. A big no. I’d rather give Woey a chance in the seniors on the wing than Hunter. Also with ducking for high free kicks being stopped his possessions will halve. Strong no from me.

    Here we go again....comparing players to Spargo... the Messiah. FMD🤮

    I reckon Hunter isnt a bad option. These types of players are not long term options. they are come in and see if you can impact and help us win a flag. Might be 2 years.. might work, might not but its worth a try when we have lost some depth players (although all of them not good enough to make it IMO) its not bad to get a hardened body to have in the mix.

    From a poster on Bigfooty, no idea if the poster is reliable

    " Hunter will be a Demon by the end of the day. Turned down the Saints and there is no contract extension, as he is contracted for 2 more years.

    Best asset is is hard running. His VO2max score at age 18 was the best I have seen in a non-alpinist. Basically his ability to get oxygen from the air into his muscles is elite.

    I am not sure If you guys are getting Schache yet…. Will let you know IF I can."

    I have always wanted a player with an elite ability to get oxygen into their muscles.

    Could he be our Issac Smith?

    Thanks Sam.

    Don't get too excited just yet Redleg, Lamb said the exact same thing about Weideman.

    I was comparing him to Spargo because I think they are similar and don’t think we can carry too many of that type of player. Both Spargo and Hunter are short players with good kicking and footy smarts, they are hard working runners that don’t look overly quick but cover a lot of ground, neither have x-factor or contested marking ability (with the exception of Spargos MOTY candidate). Spargo appears better at tackling and pressure than Hunter. The comparison was not favourable, certainly not calling him the messiah, in fact I was saying we should NOT take Hunter because he’s similar to Spargo. If anything that’s negative.

    Hunter is miles ahead of Spargo as a pure footballer.

    Back in the day, my ability to get nicotine from a durry into my lungs was elite.

    I'm starting to come round on the idea, we should be on the lookout for quality players and Lachie Hunter does fit into that category.

    What a good tweet, if there was a Brownlow medal for media tweeters Ralphy would have to be up there.

    Is the club looking at him as a hunt replacement? Surely they know hunter is not in the same stratosphere pace wise as hunty? 

    Seems highly unlikely the deal will happen anyway.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
