Anything to say dazzle & co? What was it, 3wks ago? 
 

need to see final products, but could either be best thing ever and set us up for a decade OR be looked back on as the dumbest move of all time but seemingly Clarry has made his bed. Unfortunately 

[censored] hell this was literally you last week saying the Oliver rumours were fake 🤣🤣 Screenshot_20231003_220447_Chrome.thumb.jpg.7b062ac88b8cc11d154d96c9ef6569e4.jpg

I remember when we were trading up for Reid cause we won't have many list spots...now we'd be lucky to field a side

No. The list spots was just what made me ask about what was happening, as clearly something didn’t add up, as in something else had to drop first, and now we know — it’s spots to use more picks. It’s not complex champ 🤦‍♂️

Yes, the Clarry drug rumours — are you saying they’re real? Hahaha wow talk about clutching at straws, someone’s getting desperate! So what was the big news then? And how did I know this morning at 8am it was gonna drop today at 8PM?!?! Ur such a fool, sorry u turned out to look like a muppet, but that’s what you get for constantly trying to maximise your own self-worth by minimising others. Enjoy 😉

I’ll take apologies now.. THIS is what was coming, as paired couple wks back, of which, I confirmed this morning!

 

Picks 2+3 for Oliver & a later pick. 

So you actually think the club will trade Clarry?

Clarry out for Reid and the choice of McKercher/Duursma/Watson/O’Sullivan in would be a very spectacular trade period!

Ballsy AF from a club that’s been lamented for its lack of dare for 3 years

And given the ri-donk-ulousness of this forum these days, next time I’ll keep it all to myself — I Mean what’s the darn point when these giblets somehow remain carrying-on even AFTER today. I thought posting this morning what was gonna come today would help alleviate this mess (and cus I was told it’d be out by 2pm, oops 😠) but even still they carry-on like the sour, bitter, salty souks they are. So stuff you then!

Well nudge you have really put it out there. I don't think it has dropped that the interested club is NM. We will know soon. Cheers good work.

No. And I hope not, I merely am repeating the narrative of others. But I like the fact where thinking left field and using where we have a surplus to try and full generational gaps as well as immediate ones. But unless it’s somehow Harley and Larkey, I’m a no. But the conundrum is, that it must also mean those issues re Clarry are real, as in the tattoo, the independent doc. The whinging bout the club etc and part of me says STUFF YOU THEN Clarry, but then I compose and remember it’s likely individuals he’s upset with, NOT the club.

I understand this is your point of view, but I’m asking if your information is that it’s likely that we will trade him if we are being offered pick 2+3 as you suggested?

Yep. That’s been the talk! I hope you’ll now understand, had I mentioned any sort of specifics, and it fell through - I’d of liked like a the biggest tool alive and been torn apart and had to higher a new name and I’ve been here since day dot basically so wasn’t gonna do that. Oh yeah, and I’d of clearly been the source and burned my real self HARD, that too 🤣😂😇

So will this happen Nudge or is it unlikely?

All I know is that the current bounty inc getting picks 1, and another top 4, to either draft or use for a KF, be it this or next year. The NM piece was part supposition on another’s part, but it makes sense that’s for sure, and that third party is someone I know wouldn’t mention them if they hadnt been spoken too, but there’s plenty to play out yet. But if I hear anything further I’ll be keeping it to myself, maybe with an anonymous email I can then refer too later for dazzle-digging fun.

Your making this up as you go along - you implied what was coming was a forward trade target.

If I had to play bookie, I’d have it $2.80 — As the deal would need to be complex & to have MANY parties say yes. Hence why this time of year 90% of what gets discussed is never even heard out in open. But fact club was calling other clubs re Clarry, value, is BIG!

No, pls go back and re read the specific post, I certainly hoped it would and still do. But again, what other big news dripping today could I have been referring to? 
 

my post re the disc I had also when asked, had me respond I’d say it’s more to do with Harley Reid than anything else. But thanks for chipping in 🤣

Ur right, it must of been the other massive news announced today I was referring to! Hahaha you’re literally the most moronic individual I’ve heard in decades, and that’s a hefty field my friend, hefty personified! Anyone who read my original post about something big coming, and that then saw me post this morning — gets it. Sorry I didn’t inc you champ, but it’s because I don’t reveal to much, that enables me to keep hearing these things so if you think I’m gonna go too far and burn all those relationships, you’re wrong! Hoorah 👋🏻

Stepping this out a little, if we nabbed 2 & 3, we could probably still trade for Reid whilst retaining p3. Could a Reid/Duursma double be on the wish list?

How often have we been seduced by early picks and they’ve amounted to nothing more than good ordinary players. 
To trade the best contested midfielder in the game for speculative picks is a hard sell for me. 
Would need an established player involved.

Honestly if this club is now shopping semi-publically a once-in-a-generation talent because of 'attitude issues' twelve months after signing him for seven years our list management foresight is laughably bad.

In recent times we have been good at the draft but the decades before that were at best mixed in terms of drafting and at times appallingly bad. Why gamble what is for what might be?

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
