Risky picking a ruckman!!! You have to be kidding!!!!! Short memories here!! Ahhhh, Wattsy over Nic Nat, another stuff up. By the way Callum Twomey said on SEN that Jackson is way ahead of Grundy at the same age and is hugely talented. Taylor says he could be anything.

At this stage I have  it a draw . Maybe we got a little more from Wattsy.

5 spots available:  4 Out: Garlett, Maynard, Lewis, Frost plus 1 unused list spot from 2019.

2 spots taken:  Tomlinson, Langdon.

3 spots available for draftees or more recruits.

Stretch and JKH OOC and still unsigned so potential for more list spots.

Will shortly update the Contracts thread pinned to front page of this forum.

If anyone has the length of Langdon's contract please let me know.

5 years for Langdon

Kicking for goal is 95% mental.

Too many negative thoughts going through the mind that take distract from the task at hand. eg  'I will look like a goose if I miss this',  'we need this I hope it goes through' etc.

There are techniques  to overcome this problem.

Thanks  for  your contributions Drunken [love that moniker].

You will go down in history as being the first member to quit this forum without a hair pulling,card cutting diatribe.

Kudos.

yes apologies

MFC  has made an offer to Jamie Elliot. Great get if it happens.

A great alliance for both the club and the NT, long may it continue.

 

Love the way you talk about the “climate” in the NT, because Alice and Darwi; have very similar climates?

Not so Rod; Darwin is humid whilst Alice is dry. Ball handling is easier in the Centre.

If the conspiracy theory you’ve dreamed up makes you feel sick, maybe stop thinking about it for a little while?

It is not a dream Nasher, it is me putting all the pieces together and trying to come up with an answer.

If it is true then it is the fact that the AFL and Fox have got together and concocted this scenario that makes me sick.

Every year that goes by I feel more and more manipulated by the powers that be. And that makes  me angry.

Never mind we will find out tomorrow night.

If a multi club trade is announced I will consider myself vindicated.

Seriously how the f. K does it take them so long?! I’ve seen 10s of $m of contracts agreed and signed in less time every year. 

I believe that the trades have been agreed to but the AFL does not want the public to know because they want the info to be announced on the TV 'spectacular'.

Must have some sort of deal with Fox to make the broadcast a blockbuster.

This makes me sick if  true.

The Demons not even mentioned by Cameron despite Mahobey’s previous very public declaration of our interest. 

Clear shift away from Melbourne. Suns open to all viable offers now that the Hogan trade looks dead and buried.

RR we have crossed swords before.

The Hogan trade will go ahead.

Jeez, what a wild bet.

Not so wild. The tv spectacular remember.

The poster who said the AFL is orchestrating the wed tv spectacular is 100% correct IMO.

They are just leaking snippets to journos.

Commonly called spoilers.

I feel that every one inc myself has reacted just the way they wanted.

AAAAARRRGGGGHHH been conned again.

Source.  Bell flying into Melbourne.

Actually he played for Carlton, St Kilda and Hawthorn, never Richmond.

Apologies you are correct

Well at least Watson played the game & was actually good.I hate the McLures,Nixons etc that wouldnt even know what a Football looked like.

Nixon played for Richmond. He did OK.

What if Freo trades Neale in the last hour and offers MFC pick 5 and 11 for Hogan. MFC says that's OK and

Jessie says no I have changed my mind.

Sucked right in.

I think so too. Still learning who is what here.

Won't happen again with that muppet.

And your source of info is?

You may well be correct but if you are it will be Jessie's decision alone. MFC will have no input.

You make dogmatic statements but won't answer my questions.

Strange.

If you want others to believe you you should name your source

Truth of what?

We do not want to go into 2019 with Hogan at the club, to think that we are ecstatic with him staying another year is nonsense.

I want value but you know what I want more - a settled team looking to win the flag.

Who is we. Do you mean we as a club or you and me.

If the latter, where did I give you permission to make up stuff about what I am thinking.

Anyway who are you?

If I had to choose between the posts of you and GNF, I know which I would believe and I am sorry but it wouldn't be yours.

There is a miss conception by some on Demonland.  The preferred position by our FD is and has always been for JH to stay. Let me make this point with absolute and clear authority. I have been told directly. 

The MFC is becoming a destination club. The FD is aware that doing the right thing by players...... even contracted stars to purse their own journey is required to becoming a destination club.  

As I have said before, this situation only started because JH  in his end of season interview said he would not sign a contract extension over summer. He had yet to make a decision on whether he would move at the end of his contract.  The discussion went forward from this point. He has never requested a trade.

JH is happy to play for the Dees next season and is far from a certainty to ask to be traded next season. Talk that our FD preferred him to leave or thought we would have a more balanced team without him is utter and complete rubbish. 

I cant say this strongly enough. It is a fact. Our FD is ecstatic that JH appears to be staying for 2019.  They are more than hopeful he will end up signing an extension. The FD are thinking this is his Dusty moment.

 

 

Thank you GNF.  One of the more rational and believable posts out of 8000 odd. Your input  is appreciated.

Strange how posters here want to look beyond the simple truth.
