A touch of 'double standards here.  Why would the Dockers be fuming?  I don't recall any angst when LJ sought a trade from us. 

Not an apt comparison. It would be more like if Mac Andrew was drafted by us, having spent 5 years developing in our academy. And sought a trade in year 4 after finally playing 17 decent games in a role he'd made his own.

    I would imagine they are only impressed with player requests from players leaving other clubs to come to them.

    That is impressive!

    Toby Bedford would be the best comparison but he probably didn't get the same starting 22 opportunity that Henry had.

    Not a top 10 pick though. I don't like Bell at the best of times, but I can def understand why they'd be annoyed about this particular trade request given the time sunk into Henry's development.

    Freeo not happy a guy in LJ’s draft year deciding to leave…

     

    Hmmmmmm. Is there something wrong here?? I can’t remember the MFC expressing themselves other than LJ was a wanted player, and all the best, sayonara after he left.

    Bell is old school and look at the results. 

    We're little fuss and get the job done every time.

    Now Official. Whats to go to the Saints. Whats wrong with playing for Casey.

    Not so sure about Casey, Langdon hasn’t exactly lit the year up and I had hoped for a bit more from Hunter in terms of helping with connection into our forward line. While they are gut runners I wouldn’t say they have elite speed either would love him at Melbourne.

    Smart recruiting and picked up very cheaply by the Saints. 

    Very smart recruiting indeed.

    Add outside speed and skill, something we haven't been able to address the last few years.

    Getting real 'I bought you dinner, how dare you not sleep with me' vibes out of Fremantle on this.

    Must be quite alarming for Freo supporters to see the number of best-22 and developing players who want out right when they were supposed to be on the cusp of contending.

    Side note: Andrew Brayshaw, Restricted Free Agent, end of 2025.

    Revenge is a dish best served cold

    Andrew would be a great get as Viney hits the twilight of his career.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
