John Demonic

Perfect 400th

A Troll

This is the oddest time for someone to ask people to calm down. About to trade a former pick 1, generational full forward.

Could be an upgrade of 72 to 54

Who's with me in the delusional 'Keep pick 6, but get May with other picks' club? We're still alive here. Its going to happen!

Steven May to Freo confirmed /s

"Is there a club you'd prefer to play for to avoid the horror of playing in front of 90,000 fans for the rest of your career?"

Which demonlander on trade radio right now? Discussing how Melbourne have been reduced from 5/6 to 5/23/30 to 5/23, Twomey saying we've lost our bargaining power because we're happy to see him go if we can get other deals done.

Why do we deserve to know private information about one of the players?

Looks like #6 might have started its move.

Carrrrn the Blues/team that won't be improved by this trade to the point of competing with us!

I wonder how long we've been talking to Steven May. I know we've had a demonland thread on him for almost 2 years, so his future availability has been known for a long time. But given he went to Melbourne grammar, and how readily he has unofficially nominated us, you'd think he may have a few connections inside the club and has been courted over time? Our recruitment of him will be another victory for and a testament to our newfound stability especially coming up directly against the recruiting forces of Hawthorn and Collingwood.

So a Dangerfield?

Wouldn't the last straw after these past two years trades, be an actual effect, like an ordinary defence or a forward line lacking scoring power? Or is it only about the symbolism of Mahoney winning a trade to you?

Let me simplify that equation:

Clarko has nudies of all his past assistants

It's [censored]. The rumours been posted on reddit for a week, been an exhausting gig debating freo fans who are comparing it to a Harley Bennell situation. I don't know why i've bothered given how hot headed i've felt. Maybe some sense of duty to try and shift the narrative away from the [censored] in one corner of the football world. It's an easy life in here. I bet there are a few demonlanders on bigfooty fighting the good fight. Must be a [censored] show over there. Rant over.

Do we have any rumours of players we might be looking at drafting, trading for or picking up from a delisted club in the event of the following situations, or any personal suggestions on players to pick up? Hogan is traded, May comes in. Another 3rd tall forward? Hogan stays, May stays, Hold tight for a year? Or another KPD? Or if Hogan stays. May signs with another club. Another KPD?

Slight topic diversion, but do we have any rumours of players we might be looking at drafting, trading for or picking up from a delisted club in the event of different situations, Or any personal suggestions on players? Hogan is traded, May comes in. Another 3rd tall forward? Hogan stays, May stays, Hold tight for a year? Or another KPD? Or if Hogan stays. May signs with another club. Another KPD?

Would be magnificent tbh. Our TMAC/WEID/Hogan forward line becomes ELITE in the Riewold/Lynch, Kennedy/Darling level. Lever & Omac have great years, we capitalize on all close matches unlike last year, and have a full tilt at a premiership from the top 2 with a 3 game MCG pathway in the finals despite defence still being one 'fragile' area of our game. Steven May holds out for one year and we pick him up next year in our quest to go back to back. All areas of our team become A+

Pick 53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63 & 64 equates to pick 5. Do you think Gold Coast would do that deal? We might have to get rid of some fringe players to get the picks.

When you say things like "He’s not going there people. The negotiation is dead and buried." I instantly get visions of Grandpa Simpson shouting at a cloud.

We're not trying to win a negotiation, we're trying to improve our list.

Only really equates if you're using it for academy player really. Otherwise pick 40,41,42,43 would equal top 10 pick, which we know doesn't.
