  1. A 204cm ruckman will replace Jordan Lewis, a short half back flanker? Yeah, nah.
  2. Can you squeeze him into a possible 2022 team for us?
  3. Can only be seen as a positive thing, especially with the moderate success we've had in adding Maynard and Joel Smith to the list, players who many not be best 22 but are excellent depth players. Getting Austin Bradtke on the list will cost us nothing, and he's a tall player who could develop under the guidance of Max at Casey for a few years.
  4. Why would we give Weid away, who is under contract, for a 28 year old? Nothing 'simplez' about it. It's silly.
  5. There is no room for him now. 4 years ago, when we last chased him, he would have been a superb pick up for us. Roosy was very keen and he would've added some real class to our forward line. Now, we have no need for him in our side. With the players you mentioned above, plus Gawn resting there, 'Bull' Smith doing well and our plethora of medium forwards, there is no reason to chase him now.
  6. We have absolutely no need for Tom Lynch.
  7. I'm not surprised. Got a hypothetical trade for us, norm?
  8. I came in with low expectations and I was still disappointed.
  9. Don't listen to him. He's the king of the 'hypothetical trade' that's based on absolutely nothing.
  10. A trade period thread in May. What year is this? 2013?
  11. Wiseblood replied to DV8's topic in Melbourne Demons
    I feel like this questioned gets asked every year. I don't think we'll be in the market for him, especially while under contract.
  12. @Deemented Are Go! - does your ex-missus happen to be Maggie Beer?
  13. If he wants to come back home for money then I don't think we're ahead. You would expect the Saints, North (who have tried to poach anybody with two legs over the last couple of years) and Carlton to have more money to give. The Bombers wouldn't have a whole lot of wriggle room and us, well, we must have something to spare lying around. However, if he wants to come home to potentially win a flag, then the decision at the moment is a no brainer. Three of the mentioned clubs are absolute poo and going nowhere fast, while North are batting above their average, just like Mick Martyn did with any woman he dated in his lifetime. If we can offer him competitive money then we're a mile in front of all the clubs mentioned. I still think he's more likely to sign with the Eagles but I'd like to think we're a sneaky chance of nabbing him as well.
  14. I'd be more than happy to get him, but the article doesn't reveal a whole lot. I'd be surprised if he didn't re-sign with the Eagles.
  15. I've heard he wants nothing more than to stay a Demon and will sign a contract sooner rather than later.
  16. The whole injury list is here: Harley Balic (plantar fascia) – 2-3 weeksLochie Filipovic (rested) – 2 weeksJesse Hogan (knee/ankle) – testDean Kent (hamstring) – 4-5 weeksMitch King (elbow) – 5-6 weeksCorey Maynard (hip) – 6-8 weeksPat McKenna (hamstring) – indefiniteChristian Petracca (finger) – testChristian Salem (thumb) – 1-2 weeksAaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 4-6 weeksJack Viney (foot) – 1-2 weeks It's certainly getting longer which is not a good thing, but the positive is that outside of Hogan, Trac and Viney they aren't really best 22 players. And those three won't be on the list for much longer as well.
  17. So one minute he is never in the box, the next minute he does both during games...? Why anybody listens to a thing you say or backs you up in anything is totally beyond me.
  18. Before we start jumping off the West Gate, again, let's wait and hear from a trusted source about issue first. Right now all we know, from a rumour, is McCartney will be on the bench instead of the coaches box. We know nothing else, regardless of what someone like Tom Morris (who has come up with some absolute shite this year) has to say on the matter.
  19. Just like you ignored all of the messages we sent you in regards to the Ultimate Footy League, which almost ruined the league for the entire season?
  20. See, this is simply not true. People who want to push this idea are way off the mark. However, so are those who think Watts will be a super acquisition for Port. Bottom line is that he will provide for Port what he always provided for us over the last few seasons - a couple of ripping games, some good ones, some average ones and then a few absolute shockers. That's it. So it's time to move on. Love him, hate him, wish him well, whatever. While he still might be a Melbourne person or supporter in the future, he isn't a Melbourne player. Let's focus on the 44 we have on our list and our hopeful rise up the ladder. Dwelling on Watts - either positively or negatively - does absolutely nothing for us.
  21. This. I can't believe that the season is well under way and this thread is constantly being bumped with mindless posts on both sides of the coin. He's gone - some are happy, some are ambivalent and so are still annoyed about it. Great. Feel that way in your own time.
  22. I've heard otherwise. Good enough?
  23. What a load of crap.
  24. Which means what? You seem to be trying to insinuate something off one piece of play.
  25. You would expect that figure to jump a little again on Sunday. I think the number is pretty good considering the bitter taste our end to last year left in the mouth. We would surely be above 40,000 by now if we had of made finals, so this is a fair number all things considered.
