Did King coach Humphrey too or is he much younger?

The poor guy is going on a holiday leave him alone you [censored] He's staying!

Humphreys and Flanders with King wouldn't be a bad result in all this mess. I wonder if that's the grand plan, or one of them anyway.

You have to assume the new coach and others must have a ripping plan in all of this. Patience...it will reveal itself when the time is right...

I would love it if the media goes nuts, their circus gets bigger and bigger, then the Melborne media crew just come out with a statement saying "all is well, Oliver committed and staying, nothing to see here, you've all been punked".

Steven King about to find out just how much the media have it in for Melbourne. So let me get this straight...Oliver in Melbourne, has a meeting with new coach and co, then he gets heated and within an hour has leaked the story to the media and stormed off to get on a plane to Sydney to "explore his options"...spare me! If he's gone to Sydney its because he had a trip to Sydney booked ffs no one reacts and does those things that quickly what an absolute circus.

I know, I am also thinking this. Sounds like the media are having an absolute feeding frenzy on Melbourne which they love to do, but Oliver is a cheeky bugger and he really doesn't seem all that "heated"...to me that sounds like complete fiction. As if Kingy and co. sit down with Oliver and push him out, that just sounds ridiculous and insensitive and dumb. They would have been honest and said "hey mate we just have a bit of a different approach for you in mind...what do you think, and if you hate it then we respect your choice to explore alternatives" or something like that, but be careful what you believe, the Media are in their element this is their arena and they love this kind of thing. It gest them clicks and pays their bills. Kingy doesn't seem silly and if we can see that Oliver and Trac are probably on their way back up to better form then I'm sure he can see it too. Not to mention what it would do to the list if both were gone, unless they replaced them both with like for likes which I doubt would happen. Try not to give the media rats too much oxygen with this stuff, that's all they want, just wait to hear actual news from our club. They sound like they're trying to be more open and honest anyway so let's hope that continues. I truly hope Oliver stays because I think he's great. Trac not too sure, great but his attitude stinks he seems much more selfish and I don't care for that and I doubt the team does either. Don't play their game, don't buy in to their BS.

I don't think any of this is them asking Oliver to seek a trade, I think that's pure click bait and complete [censored]. It sounds like they are just shifting roles and trying to get the best out of people and the team and he wants to have a mature chat to Oliver about that since he is a big part of the puzzle. Sounds about right to me.

I hope he has to walk back in to the club with egg on his face and they all kick him in the bum as he walks past the whole team. Get over yourself Trac, don't be such a sook and just play your part. Not all about you mate. PS. Don't trust anything the journos say they are lying scum.

Or quite possibly, let's be honest, the man isn't really calling the shots he is being "handled" and I reckon if anything like that was going on the other boys in the club would have gotten pretty jack of it pretty quickly. Something has happened to make him want to move, and it could very well be something to do with this whole dynamic that's going on.

Depends what Flanders wants, if he just wants $$$ then highest bidder awaits. Is he worth it? What's he really like compared to Trac do people rate him anywhere near him?

Screw picks give us Bailey Humphreys or bugger off.

Bailey Humphrey come on down!

Seriously a great forum and place for being a passionate Dees fan...thanks for keeping it going and love the Demonland and also the DeeBrief podcasts throughout the season.

Any draft picks right now aren't worth a whole lot, very compromised, I was at least happy to hear Tim Lamb say this very clearly that we aren't in this years draft very much on purpose.

Just kill the whole academy system and father son [censored] it just unbalances the whole comp. Make it fair all round, the only way to properly do it, until that happens it will always be skewed unfairly and that isn't right.

Sub rule fair enough, but nothing changes, just have no sub. Every team has same amount of interchange so when someone is injured that team has one less on the bench. Might as well have just axed the sub and left with 4 on bench, but hey extra bench why not.

Rachelle sounds great, but Darcy Fogarty certainly is intriguing since we reckon we've been crying out for a forward for a while...I wonder if we really need one or would prefer a Rachelle and just get our forwards up to scratch, we have quite a few young gun forwards up and coming that could be very very good in JVR plus Kentfield and Noah Yze but they are unknowns...but might be awesome!

What is Rachele actually like as a player? He seems to be the most talked about from Adelaide at least as a possibility and I know he's meant to be good...don't know that much about him though except he's been in and out of the side all year. He's not injury prone is he like poor Mr. McAdam?

Is Howes a decent enough replacement for McVee do people think?

Can we get someone back for him that's like for like (or better) that isn't just a pick in a crappier draft?

Hahahaha yeah screw that guy, bit of a dawg really.

He wants to go…this is the beginning of the trade for Jackson to come back.

That little [censored]

Put Trac back in there he ain't going anywhere.
