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?

Definitely the redhead (Jersey)

Anything B & W belongs on a barby.  🐄🔥

 

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.

They can trade on the night. Don't reckon they trade today

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!!!

Yes, I'm old enough to remember when they did that. 

Aren’t we all !

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. 
but then we did live in a paper bag in the middle of road !

it was a long time ago !

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!

Or a Costa/Gartland special on a large parcel of land out near Ceres.

 

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: 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.

    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?
