whatwhat say what

no way the afl will split from asada if it means they stop getting all the govt funding that is a requirement for asada agreement

those patches posted by dedokter - but especially the first one - both get my vote as, like our current logo, they're only red and blue no white in our emblem thanks our current logo is my favourite of all of ours tho pure class:

Had no chance to take three kids but once they found it wasn’t at Luna Park this year their interest was dissipated I would have loved to interact with the Dees players when I was 7-11, but kids these days just don’t see it as that exciting to meet professional athletes

it's going to be interesting to see where he fits into the side by the end of 2020 a permanent midfielder? a dusty-a-like who can switch btw mid and forward? a primary forward with occasional stints in the middle? just how good can he become - clearly he's a fairly exciting talent, but at the moment he only finished 7th in the b&f last year despite being now widely lauded by the stats boffins as a 'elite' for his position - remains to be seen but definitely one of the most exciting talents at the dees seen since, well, since jesse hogan joined the club

trac attack!!

No white on any logo ever again thanks We are red and blue Melbourne Demons, not Footscray!! Dave Larkin’s logo = best logo

i expect he'll stay and be made their captain i'd have him, absolutely, but i think in order to entice him to leave you'd be paying big $$ and quite frankly we have other priorities

from all reports sloane is headed to the saints and tom lynch is on his way collingwood, both for huge money it'll be interesting to see what happens with gaff...we've chased him a couple of times, haven't we?

First Shaun, now Mitch Everything is coming up Marshes

Honestly, there is no need for umpires whatsoever anymore Invest in the technology and get rid of the glorified cost racks

it'll be interesting to see where he sits - seems like a player that has rocketed into the top 5, with brisbane and freo (both interstate sides) seemingly keen for underage watchers, is he better than gus? my biggest criticism of gus (other than his unfortunate inability to stay on the park) is that he misses those 'dolly' kicks from 35m that should scythe through the air to a teammate - too often they go wide, high or short it's funny really, cos he seems fine kicking it long

Jack Trengove has signed a one-year deal with Port Adelaide. He joins the club as a delisted free agent.

16 disposals @ 81.2% efficiency, 6 marks, 3.5 rebound 50s, and 6.1 1%ers a game... can't wait to see this kid in a dees guernsey next season

gibbs could easily play another 6 or 7 seasons he's never had massive fitness issues and has never been 'quick' so is unlikely to lose his pace both lever and gibbs are win-win deals for mine

wasn't he originally touted as a potential midfield option when coming through the draft?

If you were to rate them now I’d actually go: Lever Marchbank Petracca Miller Maynard The maturity of Miller and Maynard as youngsters in (relatively) struggling sides has been super impressive And people who are down on Trac shouldn’t be - his consistency and approach to his football has, I think, been terrific

Rationalize it as 7 first round picks over 7 years and you might feel better (2012-18) Lever is a jet; can’t wsit to see him run out for us in round 1

gone! out for 152!! what an innings for a 21 year old...the sort of player you can build a side around not flashy, but just gets the job done very happy with the deal personally - kid is a jet and it was beholden on us to get it done

i have absolutely no issues giving 2017 and 2018 first rounder for lever and X, whatever X may be (late 2017 first / early 2017 second, or 2018 second) the kid is a jet it makes me think of what paul roos said, which is that the biggest battle with these sorts of deals is getting the player across the line - from there, it's beholden upon the trading in club (that is us in this instance) to get the deal done i'm confident we will, and we won't look back in 2018 and beyond

shot! been a slow and steady innings for jake, but he brings up the 150

my favourite bit was when he talked about all the players crows have brought in from other clubs who basically form the nucleus of their side: - jenkins - lynch - betts (free agency acquisition, no less) - jacobs he forgot about seedsman, hampton, cheney and the retiring thompson too... it really was a 'we want to have our cake and eat it too' moment

how about we 'settle' (and don'tcha just love that notion) with a fluke flag, and then four in a row two or three years later?

converted wife into a demon when she was 15 and i was 17...21 years and three junior dees later and all i want now is some fricken success - and i'm talking hawthorn-like twenty year dynasty not some willy nilly one-off fluke premiership - to justify my selection... (and only really posting this to keep the lever run rate ahead of the watts' innings)

lever's season was better than tex, lynch, and arguably betts pick 27 might get the deal done now eh

shoutout from toot toot! i don't care if he's our highest paid player, personally he's a very, very good player
