    Apart from the historic MCG and Punt Road grounds, where is there a sporting oval or field that side of the train tracks? As a MFC supporter, sure I'd like to see it happen. But a cursory look tells me it should be where the sporting density is: on the other side of the tracks. Loss of open parkland (as opposed to sports facility) and mature trees will be a hot topic at election time. IMV building over the train line is the easier part to get done, if we can get the funding. Maybe this has gone a fair way towards being approved, i dont know. Sure hope we aren't suffering from premature elation. At the end of the day I trust PJ to make the right call.

    So they keep Gov and drive up the price of Gaff to maximise compensation when he leaves

    R u ok?

    Sure, but the issue is more nuanced than 3 word slogans. If we can get Friday night FTA TV and make good money, then 2 games in Alice against Freo/Port/GCS is better than one in each of Alice and Darwin. The red centre isn't too hot or humid mid year. 'Flat' is a furphy. Better than a financial loss at the G in front of 18k

    Maybe you've been banned from it, a result of being too perverted? Hard to believe Uncle Bitter would get a gig though....

    That seems to make sense La Dee. With reasonable proposals, it's a good time to be seeking govt grants
  7. Moonshadow
    Maybe, but if there is TV coverage and the club makes decent $, it's better than playing in Darwin
  8. Moonshadow
    Maybe they are thinking of 2 games per year in Alice

    Comments below article in The Hun have some up in arms that the govt would be giving up public park space to a football club. Not really accurate at all, as it would value add to the park and only be used by club during training times. I'm guessing it would have a basic fence like Goschs. Assuming there is no building proposed on parkland and there are no decent sized trees involved, I can't see the problem. Goschs Paddock oval could even have its posts and fence removed to make it less of a sports ground.

    FWIW, Ben Guthrie on AFL site says Harrison Petty is a serious chance to debut, especially if OMac fails concussion test

    Aaaaaand that's all folks!

    Will one of your fine servants be chauffeuring you and the missus in the 4WD Rolls? If not, you may want to contact Demonland's very own Westralian frog. I hear he's a terrific driver and loves a jolly good flogging. Safe travels Uncle, make sure you turn your watch back 30 years

    Phew!

    Really?

    Being devil's advocates for a second, that could change if someone reasonably important in our list wanted a change of club. We all say NO! when Jetta or Gus are raised, but they are yet to re-sign beyond 2018. And that's not even considering the slim possibility that a player within contact might want out. Sure a RFA could join us for SFA, but more often than not (or ever), particularly in the last 5 years, they are traded for.

    Two pot shots in the same post. Hilarious!

    It's unfounded when based on clearly incorrect facts, or a sample using only Friday night's game vs Swans. We might listen f you made a case based upon reason and real facts without the woe is me
  19. Moonshadow
    Hey fellas, don't let facts and reason get in the way of unfounded opinions

    Norf I'm guessing. He's 26. Are they really prepared to pay him big money at 33? Probably front loaded so he gets $350k in years 6 and 7.

    I could not disagree more. Vanders has had a couple of reasonable games in an injury crippled career. He's soooooo far away from 100% it's very doubtful he will play seniors this year, maybe not again. Brayshaw was a star before his concussion issues (remember his first game with 9 tackles?) And has made a sensational comeback to the extent that he would surely be near the top of the target list for Freo and WCE to join his brothers. He most certainly has a couple of 3 vote Brownlow games this year. Keep Vanders and get rid of Gus? Crazy talk.

    On that basis, you telling Wiseblood to "why dont you [censored] off" last week was a hypocritical attack on a poster. There's no difference. Delist/retire at end of year: Pedo, Vince, JKH, Kelty and McKenna. Possible trade bait: Tyson, Kent, Bugg, Stretch Target: Gaff, Wallis, Ed Langdon Keep 2018 2nd round pick if possible Give Petty a taste of senior footy before the season is over

    Aliir Aliir looked good for his first game back in a while Massive pressure by both teams

    We have Spargo, the new and improved Murphy 2.0, with 10+ years as a Dee ahead of him. Why bother with 30 year old 1.0 version?
