Dogs are a similar club to us after 2016 flag drought breaking struggled with success & there were lots of off field issues with players and internal board issues, lost a number of good players, the Bont remained loyal unlike our ex number 5, played finals 3 times only since the flag yet beverage seems to re invent himself, early days but look good

He is a great coach Bevo, this is the 3rd time he has reinvigorated/reinvented this team in 11 years.

The sign of a great mentor.

    you can totally understand why they sniffed around oliver a couple of years back and were super keen on petracca

    they definitely feel like they're a top line mid short of the better sides

    They wanted Trac and Draper but they didn't plan for it or trade for the draft capital needed for Trac.

    Draper wanted the Lions and they offered more years and $$$$.

    That's the nature of the beast you have to talk to these players a year or 2 out.

    Lay the foundations and get your targets like we did with May and Lever.

    and, in fairness, as they did with dawson and rankline

    add those two to cumming, nibbler, and the hamstrung ah chee as more complimentary than top-liners and they've recruited well to bring sa talent home, but the latter three are not topliners

    If it's a choice between less free kicks (consistently officiated within a game) VS over officiating and enforcing all of the rules to the letter of the law, I'll take the former. There's players that basically dive every game, players push each other 80 meters off the ball with no effect on the game and frees are paid, center bounce like i mentioned, 50 meters every game for players running over the mark by a foot/stand rule etc. etc.

    The game isn't better by having more 'you slightly went over a line and it's a free' rules. Some games feel too sterile to enjoy IMO.

    The AFL lives in the grey. Easier to manipulate then explain away.

    Just as a side note, incredibly lacklustre crowd at the 'G for Richmond vs. Suns.

    Would be lucky to have more than 13,000 in the house right now.

    Severe reality adjustment for some Suns no doubt.

    10.5k at North Hobart Oval (full house) saw the Devils knock off Coburg in their first VFL game. Rubbish effort at the G for sure.

    Mate.. was going to say the same thing re Dwayne calling him that.

    On another note, have they provided the attendance number to the game?

    I will never cheer injuries or wish ill will on players, but I can honestly say I feel kinda chuffed seeing him on the bench all iced up.

    All feelings I have for the bloke is completely dead that any ounce of sympathy I may have had is reduced down to a complete zero.

    Hopefully it is a lengthy time off.

    He never had soft tissue issues with us. From memory he had an ACL, cracked toe, a broken leg which he played through and the infamous Darcy Moore incident. He was very durable over a decade.

    Just goes to show trading multiple first rounders for a 30 year old is risky no matter how good he is.

    That being said, plenty of time for Suns to reap the benefits of the trade.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
