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.

    Say it again. Limited left foot and just noticed the fend off too much.

    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!!!

    I can remember my old mum taking newspapers to the Elsternwick market, in her shopping trolley, so that she might get a few shillings to buy some tripe, that I never eat these days.

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
