peptides wanted to secure someone after missing out on multiple free agents - they frontloaded his contract enormously for the first 2 years of his 5 year deal

That too, but I thought I read somewhere that Norf had a hand in the degree and amount of the front ending, cause they wanted picks 2 & 3 in the Harley Reid draft?

Could be wrong.

    Have you not watched his career? He is the definition of a charity contract.

    He is like James Frawley, bit with absolutely no talent or pace.

    he is nothing like chip, who was all oztrayan in a middling side and then a premiership player in a very good one

    i'm mildly annoyed that he cracked 100 games for dingley, thus making any boys eligible for them under (current) father-son rules

    He only played in one flag (in 2015).

    I was sort of agreeing with you.

    The entire media was after his head after an insipid first 4 weeks, and yet somehow played a good game against us in round 5. Amazing right..

    We are very good at bombing it down average defenders throats. We've made Comben, McKay and Ratagolea all look like All Aus defenders this year....

    The Kent Kingsley principle lives on.

    Meanwhile, should we be upgrading this thread from a Harry McKay to a more general 'picking over the Blue carcass' thread?

    Unfortunately we don't have much immediate draft value to offer them, and their potential free agency have all been signed up or are being offered a Mexican silver mine by someone else already, but surely some of their mass-injured demoralised players aren't keen to sit through a re-rebuild at a club with such a perennially impatient and entitled coterie-level culture.

    Kemp is out of contract but not a free agent. Had so many injuries and been played almost at random positions to the point where it is impossible to really know if he can make it at AFL level. Personally I see potential.

    Walsh is an RFA out of contract in 2026, in variable form (the drop from his early career is alarming) and currently injured.

    Hmm, actually, gee, there's not much I'd be trying to extract from Carlton.

    I do feel fragments of sympathy for the general Blues fans, but the silvertails, the board and its connections (which in the case of the Carlton board is almost like racehorse 'connections') and the actual club executive deserve every bag of ---- coming their way.

    We can always extract the urine.

    Yes we need a key forward but not McKay.

    Was our interest in Logan Morris this year or last?

    Fears of missing out on landing a big fish don’t justify grabbing anyone. An earlier post has already pointed out that Chol and Membrey are more than serviceable role players at their respective clubs. They would be playing for half of what McKay is on.

    I’d like to see Petty moved back into defence as he’s a quality defender, I’d like to see Disco, JVR and Jefferson played up fwd for the remainder of this season. We won’t be playing finals this year so what have we got to lose.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
