Oh well, lets just reward our current players/future draft picks/trade acquisitions with a nice new facility in the future, if Chris didn't want to hang around and wait then so be it.

If this is the real reason we were knocked back then his defection to Collingwood must be a mere formality because Carlton aren't in a better position than us at the present time.

Life goes on and I'm still looking forward to seeing Dean Bailey take the reigns and develop these boys like he believes he can.

Also I think it has been mentioned in many posts on this thread and others; Please Steve Harris stop being flattered by being taken into consideration with the big 3 Victorian clubs, I find it somewhat insulting, lets just move forward and work at building the club into a force it deserves to be.

P.S

While I am disappointed that my favourite player outside the MFC decided against joining us, its also a bit hard to think he may become a member of the filth, I struggled showing an interest when "you know who" traded his red v into black and white stripes, sorry Chris that bridge has been burnt.

    Look at who just won the flag in emphatic style on the weekend.

    It wasn't a club that sought out a single superstar player to fix their ills.....it was a gun team developed over time.

    No bottoming out, no playing for draft picks, no chasing one messiah player or one messiah coach..........it was hard work, vision, planning, focus, and commitment that won the flag for the Cats, and it's the same combination that will win a flag for us.

    Good luck to Judd......sorry he didn't come, but we have a chance to add the 4th best young player in the land to our list, and a list full of emerging talent.

    Bring on 2008!

    I am disappointed, more for the fact he would have bought sponsors and memberships with him from which we could re build the MFC Empire. I think we should still offer the pies the number 4 draft pick for pendelbury.

    We aren't angry over the fact he didn't choose us. It is the parting insult that is infuriating. Shows him to be a money hungry, attention seeking princess.

    with all due respect Brocky

    none of us know what he wrote in that letter..or its context.. so what does it really matter.

    the issue of training facilities to me is a non issue .. his manager would have fully known our position, so its inclusion anywhere is bemusing I concede.

    He has his own reasons... what does it really matter..really ??

    im not insulted.. i dont really give a rats..

    all over red rover...next

    Im dissappointed - but primarily because I just think its about time the Dees picked up someone instead of the usual teams - just to even the playing field...

    But at the end of the day I think our forward and backlines are where we need to improve - Im sure Judd would have been great, but not long ago I was raving about Acker being a good thing for our club. Thank christ that didnt pan out...

    This is true

    Add to that a coach who believed in his players and just let them play without being too tactical or technical.

    I hope that while training at the wonderful facilities at the Lexus Centre and the adjoining oval he trips and does a knee.

    Screw him! What a primadona.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
