Now this in the age with the chest beating comment Demons president Don McLardy referred to Fairfax Media reports of the investigation in a statement on the club's website on Friday in which he called for the club to be treated fairly by the AFL.

not mad at the club it's 90% of the football media that makes me sick

The football media is worse than , british tabloids all he said , she said, allegedly , a source close to the club, a senior official is belived to etc. They are fuelling this fire to keep papers selling and themselves in the news/ their jobs and on radio. The allegations may prove to be true but at this stage all the reports have no substance at all. makes me mad!!!

if his last effort about a convoy of Volvos and a Dinner in Canberra are any indication of what is to come it will be a hoot.

Stephen Tingay circa 1994-95 , quick, hard at it great kick on either side . Exactly what out current team needs

Dumb thread for so many reasons

We lack in the crumb department

Out talented skinny runts who did not buy into new regime. In hard bodied honest players willing to work hard . I will support it for now the skinny bodied youth approach got us no where so why not

Pederson is 25 yrs old and played 16 games . can't see why most on here are so keen to get him.

pederson is 25 years old and played 16 games, Martin and Seller may have their limitations but can't see why everyone is talking up Pederson as a player so much

He is a Brighton Grammer Boy after all!

I think I may Ban myself for 2 weeks , so i don't have to keep reading posts like this.

he announced on Friday he wanted to come to the Dees, today is Tuesday calm down people clam down!

you have way to much time on your hands, but i like your creativity

Scarlett spent the last 4 years of his career playing the rivers zone off role. I still think Jared has at least 3 in him given the amount of footy he missed early on in his career

wow this really is silly season, speculating on players based on airline timetables

I Would love his ferocty at our club a good read and insight to the bloke also check out the video - just awsome ! (no digital pass required) http://www.heraldsun...o-1226388081912

Picking up more second round picks genius idea , someone should start a thread ...

He has benefited from being in a midfield of swan, thomas, pendelbury,ball, beams etc. Never had the No 1 or 2 tag applied to him and not convinced he would be a gun in our side. He is a handy player in a gun midfield at the moement

so do we get anything for him? how does that all work?

Sat uncomfortably with him so went to the most cheating club in afl/vfl history Although agree with roos who said it backfired and set us back. From culture perspective . Although the scully compo picks may finally help us turn the corner.

Disgusting I know it puts us in a disastrous position financially but we need to cut this sponsor loose

I too would like to see him midfield /forward getting him on the park will again be the challenge this year , he has practically missed the whole pre season

how about I start with your 3rd point 3. Why have we seen no growth on membership figures year-on-year despite:blah blah blah I give you 2006- 24,698 2007 - 28,077 2008 - 29,619 2009 - 31,506 2010 - 33,358 2011- 36,937

Other than being listed in it in training reports Sylvia, mckenzie, Tapscott, Davey, Spencer Does anyone know what the extent of injuries are ,when these guys will be ready to join the main group and if they will be ready for round 1? Particulaly concerned about Sylvia, Tapscott and Mckenzie (although jordie did show he can step back in after an injury last year)
