    Melbourne not mentioned yet again. Just once I want our club associated with a top end talent that is out of contract.

    I loved it when we got Jordan Lewis as a free agent - it felt like such a great acqusition, Hibbo, Melksham also great gets too and Maudie / Lever (with draft picks) 

    Go hard or go home.

    The sliding doors are extra bigulous on this one, plus the random 2020 draft. We got done by Geelong though. They beat us to Isaac Smith, then jumped us in the draft for Holmes. So we looked to Rosman for wing2, then plugged, first with Hunter and now with Billings (also shout out to Gus). Got a flag, they got a flag. Lingers is a bit down since.

    I'm sure we're very active in the players market and sniffing around a lot however it doesn't worry me to have our name attached all the time.

    I continually see Hawthorns name attached to everyone it seems and they never land anyone of merit.  I think this looks a lot worse rather then enquiring quietly.

    He's involved in this trade, or Geelong can eat a bag of [censored]. 

    Let's demand this from the club.

    Yeah nah that's not how it works.

    Secondly why on earth would he leave Geelong to come to a club that's a current rabble.

    Holmes or comparative value.

    Taking a hardline trade approach is not how this works? I guess he stays then.

    The point is simply that if a club does not have the value to make a trade, they need to ruffle the feathers of some of their own players and their fan base, to come up with the value. Why should another club make NO concessions or sacrifice any relationship (to an up and coming star) to make a trade happen? A future 1st is not worth the sacrifice we are making, if thats all thats on the table to take his contract and his playing ability.

    We called them, if they want it to happen, find your player that wants to come to us.

    The hardline approach is the trade demand, or it doesn't get done.

    We are pushing Oliver out the door, we have no power in any trade negotiation, we will be lucky if we get away with a future 1st rounder and not picking up any of his salary.

    What happened to the power being in the clubs hand with the writing of a long term contract? If Geelong are desperate enough they can move the pieces to get it done. I don't see why 'we' have to accept what is offered when the long term contract permits us the lee-way to keep him and repair the relationship without fear of him walking to the draft. Is sitting out really such a fearful scenario that we'd accept so little compensation?

    Of course the full picture is not clear and we dont know how unified the 'we' is that's pushing him out the door and whether things are beyond repair or not. The ball is in the Cats court to come to the table with something substantial imo.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
