windscreens o'brien signed on at the crom for 3yrs so you’d assume draper to brisvegas

so the bears get:

  • oscar allen as a free agent

  • sam draper as a free agent

  • not 1, not 2, but 3 top 20 picks as 'nga' selections

a 'fair and balanced' system; good time to be a brissy fan

Their ex CEO is now AFL head of footy.

Their perks aren’t stopping anytime soon.

    Heard Silvagni is possibly moving to Collingwood, so maybe up for grabs.

    Wonder if he’s worth a look in for us?

    I personally think he’s soft and injured a lot but what are your thoughts?

    I think you just answered your own question.

    The thing I find crazy is if Oscar Allen - a WA lad - is clearly now available it possibly implies he may have been in previous seasons and then how we didn't pry him loose then seems strange to me.

    Goodie was the most empathic today about bringing in talent in the middle aged group that I've heard him ever be. So sounds like we may indeed trade or try to trade hard.

    we did; couldn't convince him to move to melbourne

    dingley had no success dragging him across east either

    he's made the choice of living anonymously in brisvegas and being paid a fortune instead of living under high scrutiny in melbourne...and still being paid a fortune

    That said we failed to capitalise whilst on top of the ladder and won a premiership. That is on the entire club coaches included.

    We got Grundy , which was applauded at the time but didn’t work - fair enough for trying.

    Other than that we didn’t get anybody of note. Not 1 person that consistently plays in the senior side.

    That is gross gross mismanagement. Ultimately it starts from the footy dept that took way too long to change things up and adapt to the modern game. Then when they finally did change our game style we quickly fell out of favour as a destination club and are almost left with no choice but to rebuild through the draft right in the middle of a new club entry.

    It’s going to be a long road to recovery unfortunately and one that may not proof fruitfull.

    Just my opinion. Maybe it’s across the board then.

    How do you know we didn't consider them or attempt to get them to the club?

    No one ever knows 100 percent @Demonstone but I hear things through a contact at New Balance who has decent intel and those names never came up.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
