CEO?! In absolutely no way would he be qualified 🤨

One was a pick 15, the other’s a mid season draft pick. Apples and oranges.

Yep as competent backup to Max, on minimum wage, happy to toil away in the 2’s. Something we’ve been crying out for for years. He’s not supposed to be Polly Farmer.

Enjoyed this at least

Ball movement is his speciality so makes sense.

Absolutely not true Tom Morris, @SthSea22 assured us it was a done deal

The count itself is only a few hours of the festivities.

100% fact.

He got absolutely sideways with Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.

Hahaha are you serious? Use your brain. Who else is it in the best interests of to leak the news that Oliver hasn’t been holding up his end of the bargain recently? Oliver’s management? No, they want to portray him in the best light possible. The MFC footy department? No, they want to keep him at the club. The only person to gain from painting Oliver in a bad light is Pert as he’s the one currently in the gun to supporters for shopping him around “for no good reason”.

Pert leaking this to Edmund is an absolute disgrace. Counterproductive and completely unprofessional.

Why would anyone be dirty on him for splitting with Nadia? 🤨 He’s just incapable of keeping it in his pants whether in a relationship or not, hence the comment about probably not wanting him involved with your sister or your daughter. Never come across a bloke with an eye as wandering. Which has absolutely zero bearing on his ability to do his job well.

Yep. While you probably wouldn’t want Jimmy involved with your sister or your daughter, not many better to have inside your football club.

When did Clayton Oliver say he wasn’t interested in Geelong? Or are you just doing exactly what you’re accusing others of doing - choosing to believe the parts of reporting they want to believe?

And Callum Brown.

PORT ADELAIDE assistant coach Nathan Bassett will depart the club after being advised his contract will not be renewed for 2024. Bassett has spent eight seasons at Alberton, initially as defence coach before taking on the forward line in 2019. This season he returned to the backline, where he made his name during a 210-game AFL playing career. Port Adelaide General Manager – Football, Chris Davies thanked Bassett for his dedication to the club since 2015. “Nathan has worked tirelessly for our club in an extremely demanding role,” Davies said. “He has offered a unique perspective across his time with us and always operated with the utmost professionalism and diligence. “We wish Nathan and his family well with his next career move.”

After being highly regarded a decade or so ago, he was axed by Port Adelaide at the end of 2023 and spent 2024 out of the AFL system. He might be fantastic but it wouldn’t be an overly inspiring appointment on face value.

Whilst not disagreeing, how many of these are actually any good? Or good enough for us to challenge for premierships?

Mate Fullarton’s appalling. The players have all been gobsmacked at his level in training. There’s a reason he didn’t get picked, no matter how injured or out of form others were.

But how is that at all relevant when discussing Wade Derksen?

I don’t mean to be rude but this is one of the most insane things I’ve ever read on Demonland. A bloke who was picked up in the mid-season draft two and a half years ago, who’s never been selected to play a game for his club, and you’re talking about first and second rounders?

We know mate. You’ve said so about 400 times throughout the thread.

From memory he said we were interested in Will Hayward. Not that we’d definitely land him. Do you know how many players clubs show interest in that don’t end up getting done?! As previously stated, if you don’t like it then don’t read it. It’s like that famous Ricky Gervais stand up line about guitar lessons - if you don’t like it then move on! Why on earth would you try to censor something that other people appreciate and doesn’t adversely affect you?

But it’s clearly not totally unsubstantiated. @goodwindees has a pretty impeccable track record with his mail. Getting the inside word on what’s happening within the four walls of the footy club is a big reason for a lot of people being on this site and the actual thing that beggars belief is why on earth anyone would want to censor that, or abuse anyone who’s providing that. Genuinely cannot for the life of me understand it. If you don’t like it then ignore it, like people do with a bunch of other topics and posts.
