Understand that JNM, but Meek was traded the next year so he was gettable at some stage and he also went to a club with a huge young ruckman, so Max wouldn’t have put him off possibly and we might have then saved the embarrassing Grundy fallout.

I would love to know if we rated either player and if we even asked. My gut feel is we didn’t rate either of them and that if true worries me considering our last few trades.

I am wrapt in Caleb and was since his first practice match but i was talking if a player in addition to the picks we got.

We could have said we would deal with WC to get the deal done, but i know, spilt milk.

It just annoys me when I see the players traded into other clubs succeeding.

GuessIi am just a cranky old Dees fan.

Jackson refused to deal with West Coast, so it’s a moot point. 
As for Meek it’s possible that they said it’s Meek and a second rounder and we decided that a first round pick was better than Meek. Which it is. 
 

They were never trading Treacy. It’s like if they came to us and said here’s Brayshaw but we want JVR. You’d tell them to go take a long walk off a short pier. 
 

Understand your frustration but just look at Pies overpaying for Shultz and that’ll make you feel really good 😂

What about my outrageous idea of trading him at the end of season 2021? To force a deal with WC.

As mentioned beforehand there were huge red flags that he was departing anyway. 

Thanks for the premiership, you may go home now. It would've been easier to leverage his last year under contract.

My understanding is that LJ indicated that he was happy and keen to stay after the 2021 flag. And in fact up until midway thru 2022 he never said he wanted out. 

Hindsight is a wonderful thing tho. Especially when it comes to trading and drafting. 


On 11/08/2024 at 16:50, whatwhat say what said:

his knee clearly limits his mobility from time to time - it bothered him all the way through the back half of 2022 and seems to crop up and bother him every now and then over the last two years

he would still suit our game style perfectly; it's such a shame he left, more so than hogan

i believe we got more 'value' for him than any other player traded in the afl

i'm confident that jefferson and windsor - the players we effectively received for him - will be players for us for some time

i wish him all the best, but i hope dog never tastes premiership success again

Haha I love this! You wish him all the best for the future except for another flag! 

Exactly how I feel about him.  He was a selfish Dogga without loyalty.

He was and still is overrated.  He can be good sometimes, but never consistently.  It's clear in some games he can't be bothered his @rse.

Nothing but an oppo player to me now too especially after his smarminess in the whippings they handed us this year.  

I wish him all the best for a career of mediocrity and underachieving because he's lazy and doesn't feel like it. 

Sorta like after a bad breakup in youthful days with somebody who's ditched you.  I don't want anything terrible happen to him, just for him to totally go to seed and get bald and fat and not be really successful and happy. 

Then whenever you bump into him you can see that he's full of regrets about ditching the best team and fans and missing the good times and his prime that have now past him by. 

Delicious Schadenfreude, hopefully he meets us wearing a premiers beanie, 2025 or 2026 or thereabouts in the near future.  Sooner than Slagmantle anyway.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
