    Great to see Bedford & Hogan kicking goals! Had a chance to take Hogan back & keep Bedford…

    got ben brown and a premiership instead

    we prioritised chandler over bedford, and the former is probably winning our best and fairest at this point in time, and getting better and better all the time

    Who honestly thinks Reid will stay put.

    all indications suggest otherwise

    the big q is who is going to offer him the juiciest deal and give meth coke what they need to prise him free

    we're been in this position before, where a prince who was promised was selected at #1 and never truly looked committed to the cause

    ain't fun

    bedford and jj both left for more opportunity; chandler and sparrow were both ahead of them at the time, and chandler is still a superior player to bedford

    we got second round picks for both, from memory, which enabled us to trade 'up' to get the likes of tholstrup etc.

    they had contract offers with us but took the chance to go north to get more game time; it's worked in their favour, just as langdon leaving flagmantle for us worked in his and ours

    swings, roundabouts

    jj being able to leave as a free agent was galling and only possible as a result of the stupid afl's stupid rule changes (that have since been rescinded, i think) for delisted free agents, where the only reason we 'delisted' jj was because in those days you had to take a mandatory # of picks in the draft, but could 'retain' that player as a dfa on your own list

    seriously one of the dumbest rule changes ever, that cooked us just like the change to nga selections hurt us (and the aints) after jamara went #1, which has since been rolled back, and everyone had a hissy fit about academy selections

    be interesting to see if as much 'tunneling' attention is given to what toby greene just did to matt owies as has been given to bayley fritsch doing similar to tom stewart

    I don’t think Dangerfield was entirely innocent either.

    Essendon have our pick potentially 3-4 plus their own first.

    If Allan goes do they get a compensation pick?

    They might get 1,2?

    Either team?

    can we pin this post so that every moron who complains about us ‘getting rid’ of Jordon and Bedford can see it?

    yes, if he leaves as a free agent, they will - most likely - get band 1 compensation

    So potentially eagles will have

    Pick 1 for finishing last

    Pick 2 band 1 compo

    Pick 3 our first pick via bombers for Reid

    Pick 5/6 bombers first pick

    So out of Hogans 9 marks which he subsequently booted 9 goals how many marks were big contested pack marks and how many were taken out on a lead.

    This one is far worse, as Greene looked at Owies before tunnelling him and then Owies is completely upended, landing on his head. This was extremely dangerous. Greene could have pulled out.

    Now the old boys are saying “what could Toby have done”? Pulled out for a start.

    This is the difference in the media.

    Fritta canned and people looking for a suspension and with Toby, trying to get him off.

    Can see St Kilda being one of those sides that goes from missing the 8 to finishing top 4 either after round 24 or at the conclusion of the finals. They’ll win the majority of their games at Marvel and will pick up a bonus away win today. Could even beat GWS next week at a neutral venue.

    Port are a bit like us at the moment. Severely low on confidence.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
