  1. I just love the hypocrisy of the AFL. Fine Ken Hinkley $20K because gobbing off at an opposition player is a terrible image and not at all what we want to see. Less than two months later promote the Port v Hawthorn grudge match as the highlight of Gather Round. They are nothing if not predictable.
  2. Well deserved but way overdue. A strong Dees connection to the nominations. Former club doctor Peter Brukner is Victoria's nomination for Senior Australian of the Year.
  3. I've been channeling my inner Tom Morris and working the phones hard all morning (well, I spoke to one person who was connected to Casey a few years ago). When Jones was sidelined with injury in 2021 he helped out at Casey coaching and left a very good impression.
  4. I really do hope the footy club does something. There is not a parent in the country whose heart isn't going out to that poor family this week. Puts all the BS we argue about on here into perspective.
  5. There is an upside to Spargo only playing one game. It gave Picket Fence one less thing to whine about in his weekly "Selectors have got no idea" post.
  6. One would assume so but all my info on this comes from the Geelong side so I don't know the intricacies of that.
  7. Oliver met with Geelong. Geelong asked the question. Melbourne asked for three first rounders and told them we won't budge on that. Geelong said they won't/can't do that. Subject closed. For McClure et al to bang on about clearing his Dees locker and choosing his number at the Cats is pure BS.
  8. @DemonDave has put up the premiership team in the "Casey Demons - offseason 2024/5" thread. Mitch Brown played in that side, Ben Brown didn't.
  9. Gone for a Tosca (no, not a euphemism. Just one for the oldies).
  10. I'm pretty sure Tim Lamb said we're not targeting any specific type with these picks but simply taking the best available talent. I'll be stunned if pick 5 isn't used on a midfielder.
  11. Campbell Hustwaite definitely not coming back. He has signed with Rosebud, as has Mitch White.
  12. So Barrett sarcastically mocks Melbourne for holding players to their contracts. Then says this about Port Adelaide: IF ... there has been a worse transaction in trade history than Port's for the exit of Dan Houston ... THEN ... nah, there hasn't been. Too nice, this club. I would've held him to his contract. Played off a break by player agent Paul Connors, who was afforded way too much control. Let's see if a big-name, Connors-managed player joins Port in the 2025 trade period. That would be the only justification for this 2024 trade period disaster. And even that wouldn't make it right. Make up your mind.
  13. Just another on a long list of AFL players who showed a glimpse of immense talent when playing Melbourne...and at no other time in what inevitably turned out to be a short career.
  14. Happy to back in what we already have. As others have said, it's the delivery that's the bigger problem. No thanks to either Darling or Parker. I'd like to think we have learned our lesson in getting top up players who are on their way out. Much happier with Sharp who at least has an upside. I'd have taken Membrey just to prevent him playing against us.
