He's from country Victoria and is a Geelong supporter. Will likely be down at the cattery in a few years time and handed the keys to the city.

We need to remind him that Tongala is closer to the MCG than it is to Geelong  🤗

    So you're thinking we should throw in a few dairy heifers?

    Like it

    Jersey or Frisian?

    That article is substandard.

    ”...more than unlikely...”

    Ugh.

    All based on the fact that WC haven’t accepted a deal to date, which would defy logic if they had.

    Just terrible sports journalism.

    Will be over soon, as WC need to decide to trade or not by 5pm this arvo...

    Reckon we go for it if WC open, as our quality makes it hard for many kids to get top level exposure early in their careers... and we have flags to win.

    No left foot. It's a huge risk for WCE to ignore the substantial offers being made for pick 1.

    Read between the lines...@rjay

     

     

    Did you mean Reid between the lines?

    He's doing lines?

    Crikey, stay away from this bloke! He's bad news!!!

    Seems settled in the newspapers that the Eagles will take Reid.

    Is it still a 2 year contract or did the proposal that the top draft picks get a three year contract get approved.

    You have to wonder what the Eagle's retention approach will be. Cannot see that they will do much better than 14th during the next two years. No young talent coming through it seems.

    Assuming he goes to a Melbourne club at the end of year 2 for say $1.5M x 6 years would the Eagles get anymore than say pick 8 and a future first

    It’s three year contracts from next year onwards - so it does give the Eagles a bit more insurance

    A paper bag in the middle of the road huh, fancy tripe eating pants! You rich people want to just rub it in ... we lived under tree bark in a laneway at the bottom of a hill where the rain water would pool!

    It was a long time ago!

    PS - reckon WC will do a deal for pick 1 on draft night.

    It's 3 years and he'll be king of Perth by then. Good luck getting him back. Maybe by FA age like Chris Judd after he has a flag there.

    Luxury!

    We would gather the water left over from No. 31’s pooling to drink then trudge 20 miles to the tissue box we lived in … and … considered ourselves lucky.

    Nigel Satyerley and property development will be their retention strategy as it was for Judd and Simpson

    Sounds like we’ll need to make a “Visy Environmental Ambassador” for $500k pa type offer to get him back out!

    Imo we are still a chance to get Reid.

    It all depends on the certainty of Curtin getting to our pick 6.

    Roos and Dogs won’t take him, as Roos are still gun shy because of JHF and apparently want Zane and Coby and Dogs have too many talls.

    The Hawks are the key to a Reid deal by not taking Curtin.

    Which is maybe why we’re trying to work out a deal with Hawthorn for pick 4.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
