Haha I think you’ve just reverted back to Jaded again.

CHANGES: Rd 18 vs Port Adelaide
Please tell me why that is. Here’s an idea - what if they spread out instead and offered a choice of 2 targets rather than one dirty big pack, where our mids and smalls never seem to prosper from the failed pack mark?

Angus Brayshaw Re-Signs Until 2028
Did anyone else hear the post game comment that Geelong are seriously chasing Gus? If the MFC cannot get Gus to re-sign then it will be the beginning of the end for the club, and I will start supporting Cats - there, I said it. Get it done Dees!!!

Farewell Luke Jackson
I’m going to stick my neck out and say that I believe that all the hype around Jacko - the incredible potential, the generational player - is just noise that at this stage in his career is simply baseless. He may become a reasonable player - but no way will he be “generational”. He rarely holds a mark around the ground - and certainly not one grab - he doesn’t win many hit outs at stoppages, and stats wise, there has been only minor improvement from last year - not the progress you’d expect from a “generational” player. While I’d prefer him to stay - as I think he will continue to be a good back up to Gawny - but if he wants to go, I’d prefer it be now rather than in 2 years time, as I believe we’ll get more for him now than in 2 years time. In 2 years time, the hype will be considerably muted, as his improvement, I believe, will not warrant such hype any more. The old adage of buy low and sell high definitely applies to this. I don’t think his trading stocks will get any higher than this year. Good luck to the kid, no hard feelings if you want to go, but I’m now more looking forward to the talent we can obtain from the trade.

Is our offense a problem?
Hey Binman, can you please explain to me again why we shouldn’t be concerned about our forward line?

Is our offense a problem?
Of course there is. Anyone who says there isn’t is kidding themselves.

Thank goodness for Gus down back

GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Geelong
The new Geelong theme song for when they play the Dees: We are Geelong, we’ve always got the flu We are Geelong; half the game spent on the loo, We play the game, the way Maxy wants us to play At home or far away, With our pants down below our knees, you don’t give a phark Down at Kardinia Park.

TEAMS: Rd 17 vs Geelong
Not sure about anyone else, but I think I’ll read another topic for a while - at least until this one gets interesting again.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Yes. She’s originally from Perth and would like to go home one day.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND: DANIEL TURNER
The clubs stats have him at 194 ht and someone mentioned he’d put on 5kg so that would make him about 93kg - a reasonable size for a mobile forward or back.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND: DANIEL TURNER
In his brief appearance against the ‘woods, Daniel (or “Page” as I like to call him) looked at home at the afl level. My question is, if May, Lever and Petty remain fit for the next 2 years, what do we do with Turner? I doubt we’d play another tall down back, and he’s too good to play VFL for that period of time - and if we did there is a good chance he’d be getting itchy feet to get a go somewhere else. Could he be trialled in the forward line perhaps? He has a good set of hands and he reads the play very well. It would give him the AFL game experience he would not likely get if we consider him solely as a backman. He can move back to the backline as and when required. Any thoughts?

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Adelaide
Had a dream last night where Fritta was announced as the Coleman medalist. If that’s the case, then today is likely to be the first of some big bags of goals for him over the remaining games.

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Adelaide
We’ve had great ruckmen for the last, what 30 years?, and we have been pretty [censored] in all that time - only last year did we win the premiership. I’d suggest that ruckmen are simply show bag fillers, and we can still win this easily even without our 2 best big men - because we have strength all over the ground and a midfield that don’t need silver service to perform. Go Dees (please don’t tell Max and LJ I called them show bag fillers).

Clayton Oliver: A Demon for Life
Flower was absolute poetry in motion. There is little poetry about Oliver, he is pure hip hop. If I had to choose between the two for my team, it would be no hesitation - Oliver.

Angus Brayshaw
There is a rumour about to be released that Gus will announce his Re-signing with the MFC on the Gus and Gawny podcast either this week, next week or the week after. l’ve got no further info on Jacko, other than to restate that OD has said he is definitely going - so put your money on Jacko to stay.
-
Clayton Oliver: A Demon for Life
Great news. He can probably afford those public speaking lessons now. He’s going to need them.
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
You waited for 75 pages to finally tell us this? What’s wrong with you man? We’ve already sold him off.
-
Farewell Luke Jackson
If he decides to go, I would have thought that we won’t hear anything till after our season is complete. We will probably hear sooner if he decides to stay

Tracca and Oliver are Gods
Given his form, it wouldn’t have been a certainty.

Majak Daw Retires
I may have missed it, but has Majak explained why he is retiring now? Just seems odd to me. I know he is currently injured but you’d think he’d want to be part of a Casey premiership. I sincerely hope there are no other “health” issues involved. If there are, I hope we get behind him.

Caro Verbosis Interruptus
Haha Even with that explanation I still have no idea what you said.

Farewell Luke Jackson
If I was looking to meet with LJ and try and entice him, then it sure wouldn’t be in a public forum like a Mordialloc cafe!

Demonstone's Second Sensational Sunday Sidetracker
WCW, i have never been close with any of the previous brain teaser's - so probably not too hard if i can get it. Probably just luck on my part. This is how my brain works - looked at the names and immediately thought aha, famous cross dressers! But based on my past record of success, I thought I'd better have a back up option. So i looked up the first name (Hogg) and read that he had been delisted, went to another club, and won a premiership. Thought that might be a more likely choice than my first option, so I went with it. WCW, i find all these teasers impossible to solve, but just got lucky this time.
