    200k goes no where near keeping eyes on someone full-time. Start at $1,000,000 and work up from there.

    Where i used to work, i used to get about 40 g to keep an eye on everybody, Sometimes it could be a problem.

    If Oliver is indeed trying to force Melbourne's hand, I just hope the club stands firm.

    Geelong have nothing to offer in terms of trading or draft picks which would come anywhere near Oliver's value as a player.

    If he then refused to play for us, he would be in breach of contract, potentially leading to a fine and/or non-payment of his salary. That would be more of a legal and financial nightmare for Oliver than for the club.

    The AFL really ought to be investigating Geelong for such a blatant attempt to poach a contracted player from another club.

     

    They did it to Dangerfield and Ablett Jnr for a start.

    Improve their professionalism or improve as footballers? McAdam will be 30 next year, so I don't see any marked improvement as a footballer. And maybe Fullarton isn't what we hoped he'd be.

    That is a myth, age is not a concern, it is the players bodies that let them down.

    The average age of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League is early 30s takes that long to reach their peak.

    Hypothetically if Geelong said they were willing to trade us SDK, do we still say no?

    Clarry will never be the player he once was due to his inability to behave and put it the effort to get his mind and body right

    I also think that that statement is an insult to Clarry and i'm calling you out for that.... "get his mind right"

    You are seriously not trying to compare the fitness levels of an AFL football with a Premier League goalkeeper?

    Fullarton and McAdam will have been told in no uncertain terms where they need to improve, so it will be like having 2 new players and whoever else we sign.

    Geelong are starting to looking like systematic home-wreckers. You'd probably find their profile on a sugar baby website.

    I really look forward to the day they get audited.

    What irks me is that after we say we're not trading him, and Geelong say "we respect Melbourne's position", talks between him, his manager, and Geelong have clearly still continued. 

    Is this all just preparation for next years trade period? Make his position at the club untenable so that they can come in with low ball offers? It also serves a secondary purpose where it potentially makes him less likely to provide us with his absolute best, or at the very least puts his head in a different space.

    I swear they have done this with lots of other players as well, they've become the Barcelona of the AFL where they swoop in and take the best the league has to offer.

    No it is the age bit,  you can improve both fitness and skill level regardless of age, if your body allows you to. 

    I have asked a couple of players about the end of season review they get, areas of improvement is blunt and to the point, up to the player to implement.

    Obviously with Clarry, this was one of issues at the start of last season.

    Saty, I'm pleased to see your back in business here. I don't have to agree with everything you say, but I appreciate your passion and your training reports. Your point of view is worthy of consideration and respect.

    I can't remember which topic I posted this in, but I lodged an integrity complaint with the AFL about the condoning ie allowing Damian Barrett to undermine the club on their website, including calling Tim Lamb a liar.

    I got a reference number but as yet I have not received a reply, so I followed it up with an email to Andrew Dillon. Going to give him a couple of days before I follow up again.

    If anyone else feels strongly enough about the treatment the club is receiving on the website from so called journalists, his email is easy

    No one said it is. It's his opinion. And it happens to be correct.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
