Hang on, so a thread in the ‘Melbourne Demons’ board on a WCE player is fine but a thread on the Melbourne Demons women’s team is moved from this thread and consigned to a board no one reads?

Doesn't make sense to me.

    I find it neither obvious nor reasonable.  It has nothing to do with Melbourne Football Club.

    Well I'll spell it out for you then.  It is obvious because there was a lot of discussion about how we could or even should manage to draft him.  So there was emotional investment by many of the board members (not me BTW, I stay away from drafting details because I haven't the foggiest). 

    So it is natural/reasonable that there is extra interest in 'the one that got away'.  I suppose when he turns out to be a dud, you'll criticise anyone posting how lucky we were to dodge that bullet.  With luck you won't open the thread.

    No serious damage to him in the end.

    Moving on, how is the DP no 2 going?

    Gee, three first round draft picks would have been handy right about now for WCE....

    This is in danger of becoming the new 'death ride' thread.

    To date, Reid's career at the Eagles has been week one hamstring awareness and week two heavily iced corked thigh. 

    I think it is time someone return the off-brand voodoo doll they ordered from Temu.

    Hopefully these injuries are a result of acclimatising to rigorous afl training rather than durability issues. I would hate to see the young man’s career cruelled by injury.

    I dont think rigorous AFL training has been on  their agenda for some years now. All sun, surf and KFC buffets over there.

    That's it, you open your wishing out loud, they hang it on the wall for that week and injuries galore and possible loss.

    Actually feel concerned for the kid.  The media interest in him worse than Watt's got.  He's being the next Nic Nat (I assume cult hero of club) and they are even posting about where he could be getting his coffee etc.

    Given the decaying state of the senior players and their clubs inability to get them healthy, the attention is on him.  

     

    I hope he has an amazing support network to deal with it.

    Time this thread got a bump as trade speculation on the Harley continues. 

    The only way this clearly happens is if we trade some of our WA talent. Now i dont want to throw names from our end, but suspect there will be a few that wouldn't mind be trading back to their home state. 

    WCE in hindsight would be kicking themselves that they didn't take our offer in 2023. They will never get the same value as the offer we put forward. 

    Bombers in the drivers seat atm...it would be awful if that came to fruition.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
