Normally I would agree but they look like a genuine contender next year - on paper at least. Guns everywhere

I have heard this said many times during preseason, so far…..

    St Kilda and Essendon are the pre season specialists. Every commentator talks about how they are ready to explode…. Very rarely happens

    Dont doubt the appeal of WA. I was amazed by the potential over there and have been saying to get your kids qualified and send them over there where there is a shortage of every trade and skill. The place is run by a small number of uber rich using backpacker and flyin fly out labour.

    Get Judd to Uni get him qualified and able to invest in the most exciting future environment  locations in the world.

    It’s a good place for trades or if you want to work in mining, but limited other than that.

    Relax y’all… I had an awesome chat with Judd’s girlfriend Lily at last night’s B&F about a range of things (hair and nails and makeup. You know, the important things) and there’s “absolutely no way he’s going back to WA.” Judd came over and we stopped talking but he guessed what we’d been discussing and he confirmed that he’s not interested at all in returning to WA.

    I would hope that's the case but Judd and his partner aren't going to tell supporters anything other than he's staying, regardless of his actual intentions

    Used to be the cap state, but that's been usurped by the Sunshine coast. Even though now environment means a lot.

    You don't have to justify yourself. Thanks again for the great insights, which I'm sure the vast majority of us here really appreciate.

    This kind of response comes up all the time here, and it's such a weak, flawed argument - not to mention, confirmation bias.

    This is true. I can hardly post an entire 20-minute conversation verbatim, but I wanna share the general vibe which in this case was great. This kind of response is exactly what happened when I had a very similar conversation with Kozzie’s partner, and that situation’s turned out fine.

    And we are lovers of the " general vibe" here on DL.

    I agree.  Whether the young ones are telling half truths or not. It still feels good,  hope they always tell the truth,

    Of course, if there comes the patter of even smaller feet, things might change ,  150 more games, couple of GF medals,  go with my blessings if I can still give them in 5 or 6 years .

    I'm staggered that anybody could possibly argue with this.

    @Ghostwriteryour insight is appreciated. But chats like this should of course be taken with a grain of salt. If he is thinking of leaving (not saying he is!) of course he's not going to tell supporters that!

    If you have an ounce of sense, you know to take this with a grain of salt. What isn't necessary is sniping at people simply providing information.

    I never preface a report of a conversation with “He/she may not be telling me the truth but he/she said…” because I assume everyone already knows there’s a possibility that he/she isn’t telling the truth.
     

    In this instance Judd brought the subject up which leads me to believe he was 100% sincere, but as @bing181 said, I shouldn’t have to justify myself.

    edit: a former poster put up with this ‘til she couldn’t any longer. I don’t want a repeat of this.

    I really rate this kid as a high quality role player in the back half.  Can lock down well whilst showing he has excellent rebounding skills with his sharp pace, good decision making and efficient kicking.

    Not a fan of seeing him in the midfield.  Don't mind they gave it a crack late in the year with nothing to lose to see how he'd go, but he's far more valuable as an asset down back.  

    I'd be amazed if West Coast and Fremantle weren't fair dinkum having a crack at this kid.  That's just the price you pay for having good players at your club.  

    Just like I'd be amazed if we weren't continually talking to every Victorian kid with talent who plays in SA, NSW, QLD or WA.  

    I'm not a believer of him being a future All-Australian or anything like that - primarily as he's a defender who defends instead of zoning off getting 25 touches - but there is no reason he won't be a 200-250 gamer for the club and finish multiple Melbourne B&Fs in the top 10.

    I can't see a single example of anyone sniping at @Ghostwriter on this thread though. Sniping and discussing are two completely different things!

    Luke Jackson the day after draft night with his new mfc jumper on having a break from talking to media at docklands said to me he has been to melb with sports rep sides many times and loved it and he knew he would likely leave WA anyway and was very happy

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
