Thanks for the late tip Red!

Was a maiden after 6 starts, who could tip it?

Btw, I don’t bet and don’t tip, for fear of anger when most tips lose, as they usually do.

    This Rumour smacks of Adelaide getting upset that they missed out on Petty also there are rumours that Goodwin maybe in their Sights as they are disappointed with their coach  if this is so Clarry will be overjoyed he doesnt get along with Goodwin 

    Huh????!

    They are extremely close.

    I think that was sarcasm.

    This Rumour

    It was never a rumour, it was unfounded speculation (not unlike the rest of your risible post).

    Not the clearest example of the use of sarcasm, though. So unclear that I’m still not sure it is sarcasm.

    You are unsure it was sarcasm? Ok.

    Yes I’m unsure. Sarcasm is usually unambiguous but that post is confusing. Perhaps @Ferghus31 can explain? 

    Tom Morris is like a defective parrot. He only knows how to repeat the same thing over and over again.

    I didn't back it as I priced it at 12/1

    Centre Square a horse I am in with Clarry, won the 3rd race today at Ballarat.

     

    I've never seen so many people happy on this thread about news that doesn't shed light on his future with us, doesn't have an effect on the team and doesn't effect the people who liked it in any way whatsoever!

    Congrats though Mr Leg.

    Imagine if Clarry did a Tyson Stengle, the media & footy world would go into a frenzied meltdown

    Would love to know how Geelong could legitimately satisfy us in a deal for Clarry. There’s simply no way they could appease us.

    Max Holmes and their first pick

    Geelong did a serious number on us at the end of 2020 (stirring the pot for Viney, outbidding us for Isaac Smith's services, and then jumping the exposed MFC draft order to claim Max Holmes), which has had significant repercussions on our second wing recruiting ever since. See Billings and Hunter and Freeman. 

    I say we turn the tables and make a bold play at uniting party-boys Oliver and Bailey at the MFC. We have better draft cookies than Geelong, and a starting midfield/wing line-up of Gawn, Clarry, Trac, Viney, B. Smith and Langdon would be one of the greatest ever assembled, with Pickett, Rivers and hopefully Judd running through.

    Where’s Caleb Windsor in that line up? Don’t mind Bailey Sniff but much  prefer Caleb who is, and will be, an absolute gun.

    As long as we get out of most of the contract you’re massively over valuing Oliver’s current worth. 
     

    Put it another way, if he was at another club what would you offer to get him to Melbourne?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
