Jaded No More

My first thought as well, but I would also understand if he wouldn't want to spend the remainder of his career fighting for a win. He went through that at Melbourne, won a flag, and is probably not keen to return back to that. Essendon, Richmond (Cotchin and Dusty gone), or Saints might be interested, and that's assuming he doesn't want to move interstate to say GCS or GWS. He is quite versatile so could also play half back/half forward.

At 28 and with a year left to run on his contract, I think this is a good move. It will allow Harmes to be best 22 again, which he is certainly good enough to be, and it will open up some cap space which we could use to keep someone like JJ who is 5 years younger. I would have no issues if he stays, but I think if he wants to get the most out of the back end of his career, he would be best served to do it elsewhere and I am sure the club would help to make it happen if that was his wish.

WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME?!

No we are not, we can throw Gawn or Grundy at FF. We are getting much more output from our small forwards anyway.

Tmac for Petty for me as well. If May or Lever are injured mid game we are screwed, so Tmac gives us the best flexibility to replace Petty

He seems like such a genuine down to earth person. His family must be incredibly proud of him.

Quoted for truth I have never met a human I liked more than my dog.

Hahaha brilliant. He’s so cute. The majestic tail is 10/10

Oh they are so smart and so sensitive. When I got Covid and I was really sick he wouldn’t leave my side. He also would lay on my chest and it was the only thing that would stop me from coughing. Dogs are angels.

I’m happy to say that you’ve nailed this one

Bear has an emotional support Melbourne blanket that he sleeps with. Occasionally he brings it to the living room to inform me that he’s feeling distressed…. This was him earlier today when I informed him dinner time was still an hour away

Watched it. Loved it. Could not be prouder of our magnificent football club for continuing to pave the way for a more inclusive game. We are pioneers of so many wonderful initiatives in this league and this continued drive towards inclusion of our indigenous past is perhaps the most important initiative of them all. And to anyone who has a problem with the rebranding to Naarm, I urge you to watch this video to understand how much it means to players who you love to watch run around in the red and blue.

Omg he is so adorable. Senior dogs have my heart. edit: this is the best thread Demonland has ever had

Dogs paying Melbourne at least $900 a week at this stage

Hi Bear from Bear.... Did you know that Clarry recently said on radio that he's looking to get a Cavoodle? We are all obviously elite dog people 🤣

I demand puppy content once said puppy comes home.

Their form line is no better than ours if you ask me. Round 1. Defeated Geelong by 22 vs Defeated Dogs by 50 - I would argue Geelong and Dogs are on par this year Round 2. Defeated Port by 71 at the G vs Lost to Brisbane by 11 - We had a shocker so points to the Pies Round 3. Defeated Richmond by 14 vs Defeated Sydney by 50 - Both opposition a lot less hampered by injuries back then, but I know who is a better side right now at full strength and it's not Richmond Round 4. Lost to Lions by 33 vs Defeated West Coast by 63 - Free swing to Dees but telling that Pies also lost to Brisbane at home which evens out round 2 Round 5. Defeated Saints by 6 points vs Lost to Essendon by 27 points - I rate both opponents equally. Pies take the points that round Round 6. Defeated Essendon by 13 points vs Defeated Richmond by 18 points - Even result Round 7. Defeated Adelaide by 1 point vs Defeated North by 90 points - Not exactly blowing me away with their performance over Adelaide. And a training drill for Melbourne Round 8. Defeated Sydney by 29 vs Defeated Suns by 5 points. Sydney already depleted by then. Our win against them was a lot more impressive especially with the injuries we had at the time. Suns no easy beats especially at home Round 9. Defeated GWS at home without Green by 65 vs Defeated Hawks by 54 points after kicking 0.5 to start the game. Much of a muchness. The form line is very even, but statistically we are leading in more key areas, and have comfortably the best percentage. We are about to hit a difficult month of games, but equally while we've had soft opposition we've had a really hard schedule in terms of breaks and travel. Much harder than the Pies who have only had 3 interstate trips, including Gather Round. A lot of water to go under the bridge, but still feel like we are experimenting and things are about to get serious as we hit the bye. We will know a lot more after Kings Birthday.

I mean mathematically so could West Coast

The vet has described him as “borderline over his recommended weight limit”… so he’s certainly been paid handsomely for his work.

Bear also has his own Instagram… and he now follows your toy poodle https://instagram.com/bears_fluffy_adventures?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== I’ve actually used our puppy in a few photo shoots before for work catalogues. He’s a professional model 😂

Please can we make a rule that we cannot post sad stories about dogs that are no longer here. Emotionally I can only handle so much. Thank you.

I am all for being mean to people but never be mean to dogs. All dogs are absolutely beautiful.

The one in the back looks like me when we lose

He has as much say in it as my husband does. They both know who serves them dinner.

Can confirm; the bestest of boys. I love him more than anything in this world.
