Haha. 

Soooo what are you saying? 

McStay was a free agent and the pies went hard after him. So many pundits laughed at Collingwood's aggression to land him. I don't know what you're saying? 

They got Billy Frampton for peanuts who ended up playing a pivitol role on Andrews in the granny. 

All of this backs my point which is that supporters have nfi by wanting to hold onto players because they're emotionally attached. 

Everyone thought Collingwood would be cooked both culturally and list-wise when Treloar and Stephenson left. And last year everyone laughed at them for their inclusions and the fact they pushed Grundy out. Look what happened? HELLLLOOOOO. 

I think the MFC need to take a leaf.

Time to look FORWARDDDDDDD. Not just next year and the year after. 

We've wasted two finals campaigns by staying stagnant. 

Probably relevant to yourself and @DeeSpencer, the McStay deal was organised well before last year.

He didn’t just pop up, Pies played a long game to bring him home

    That's fine. 

    They were still questioned for it given he's a third tall at best.

    I have no intel behind what I'm about to say, but i have a sneaking suspicion we are secretly after a key forward who's current training ground is not to far away from the MCG.

    One of the reasons we are clearing the decks for cap space.

    If it's current can we infer the able to train i.e. not still injured?

    Still think a phone call to Tom Fullerton (Lions) might be worth a go.  He kicked 30.22 in the VFL as a ruck/forward.  He is a big bodied ruck/forward that could relieve Maxy in the 6-7 minutes a quarter but also be capable ahead of the big sticks. Means we’d let JVR be a permanent forward and potentially cover if Petty was delayed in his return.  

    Welcome aboard Tom

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.
