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

    And it’s not like Stengle hasn’t got form in this area….

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
