  1. The DFA period runs another 2 weeks, so why the hurry? Would imagine at the least, both parties are doing their due diligence.
  2. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I expect you are a professional in this field and have done an in depth analysis of the club's culture and that you have determined your conclusion on proper material and an extensive examination of all the aspects that make up a club's culture. It would on the other hand be disappointing, if your comment is just another BS throw away line, made just to denigrate the club and its personnel. That wouldn't be the case would it?
  3. Why would you have it running for 3 weeks, but have one day in the middle when it doesn’t ? What is that all about?
  4. Does anyone else see anything peculiar about the DFA dates below? Delisted free agency windows Friday November 1 - Monday November 11 Wednesday November 13 - 5pm Friday November 22
  5. Could you be a little more succinct. This is not a site for equivocation.
  6. But any club can take him. He will want to know where he is playing. May not want to go interstate, to be a rookie.
  7. I've rung the club and told them to hurry up for you. Unless another club announces it has him, he may just be deciding on an offer from us or another club. I don't think he will risk going as a rookie to any club and then having to get on a senior list.
  8. We need to slow down training.

    Won't be leaving soon, after our great season in 2020.

    Thank you DemonOX, but I am happy to leave that title with our own great Ethan Tremblay and just provide some assistance to him here and there.

    I fear this bird ( Martin ) has already flown.
  12. Thank you Ernie and so eloquently stated, as befitting your journalistic artistry.

    No, confirmed on the back page of the Sun today.
  14. I don't see us switching 3, especially if we want Young. However we could switch 8 if we thought the player we wanted could be, or is gone then and we can get 2 other players we are nearly as happy to have with lower picks. It really is a chess game. I think the clubs know who each other wants, down to about the first 10 picks and after that it is a bit more speculative, for the next 10 or so picks.
  15. Redleg replied to ding's topic in Melbourne Demons
    The problem is not spending the cap, it is telling our players we can only pay them so much, because of the cap and then offering a large amount to a player from another club. That breeds mistrust and disharmony.
  16. Any houses fallen over yet?

  18. So for those like Ernie and WJ who want to end this thread, it was the first to break this major piece of Footy News. Even Ethan T will acknowledge the far reaching news resources of Redleg and the thread. Long may this thread live and inform the world.
  19. We need to get this bloke back playing, as he was a very good player a few years ago.
  20. Is this another Kysaiah Pickett thread?
  21. No and thank you for the compliment Ernie. We don't need to close threads as if nobody reads them or posts them they get consigned to the lower pages of DL. Since I find it a sanctuary, from the constant personal attacks on posters who proffer a different opinion, on most other threads, it needs to remain, as a place where Demon fans can come and be entertained or voice their opinion, without fear of denigration. I am even in favour of football topics being discussed on here and here is one to start some discussion, among the illuminari of this wonderful thread. AVB and KK need to play a large number of games for us this year or they will be off the list at season's end. Also, I fail to understand why we kept the Wagners, who I don't see getting games this year and who are not as good as several of the DFA's available and many of the kids who are in the draft. Discuss away people.

    He actually plays as a small, tall forward, not a tall, small forward.
  23. I actually like jelly.
  24. That would probably mean losing the bloke we want at 8. Also Pickett could go before the 2nd pick we get, IF we actually wanted him. That is what they would have to weigh up.
