  1. Whether we get him or not, priority 1, 2 and 3 for me is getting Max a decent backup. We are so vulnerable if he gets injured and we are increasing the likelihood of this happening by playing him alone all season long. Unworkable long term, which is why we are going after Preuss.
  2. He looked a broken man yesterday. I totally disagree with what he did, but gees hasn’t he paid the ultimate price now! A part of me suspects he will never be the same again. If North want to throw their dumb chest at him, then so be it.
  3. We won’t win a flag with our current defense. It is the absolute weakest part of our team and probably the most crucial in finals. We need to get some strong experience in there, and that’s hard to come by. If we can get May, we should. It takes years to develop key backman and May could slot straight into our backline.
  4. Feel for Pies but thrilled Howe didn’t win a flag. Or Eddie. I have a lot of time for Buckley. I like him a hell of a lot more as a coach than I did a player.
  5. He was and will continue to be a very very good player. But one player does not make a club. One player does not win a premiership. We will move on and so will he.
  6. Agreed. We did everything right by Hogan yet I feel that he has never truly been a Melbourne man. If he is not with us, then he’s against us. While I always loved him as a player, I’ve never felt a strong bond to him like I do other players. He simply hasn’t connected well. He just doesn’t seem invested in the club. Time to let go and get on with the business of winning a flag.
  7. Seriously I am so sick of this “he is going he is staying” every single year since he’s been at Melbourne. Doesn’t feel like he has ever really committed to the club. If he wants to go home, we will be ok and I wish him all the very best. Lets get maximum value for him and move on from this conjecture every season.
  8. For anyone who hasn’t posted here long, this is the only poster on Demonland with a 100% strike rate and credibility. Take everything else with a big grain of salt. Keep us posted Chook.
  9. Just had a baby. Probably wants a longer term contract than we are willing to offer. More likely to get to the midfield with the Saints, which apparently is something he wants. Good luck to him. I think he can be a handy player for them and I hope his body holds up.
  10. He paid the price for being a terribly average footballer. If Oliver hit that punch he’d still be getting a game. Rest assured.
  11. Yeah disappointing we didn’t waste our time trading him for pick 70. He can still join another club. Why should the club be a petty [censored] about it?
  12. Plus he has a nasty foot injury. We know how those go.
  13. There are only 3 players, who if they left our club, I would be heartbroken and cry over. They are Oliver, Gawn and Gus (Viney and Jetta not included as I just assume they would never leave). Hogan is a very good player. Of that I have no doubt. If he stays we are still able to improve our list and we maintain a very good player. But if he leaves, I hope we maximize his value to improve our list.
  14. Well done Cam. Got everything out of himself and literally plugged every hole this team ever had. All the best!
  15. Can’t stop players from wanting to leave. Is he an absolute fool for leaving a club who has done so much for him and is a major flag contender in the new few years to go to a garbage club with no game plan and a terrible coach? Yes. Should we milk him for all he’s worth and extract maximum value out of Freo’s pathetic and never ending desperation to land him? 100% I am all about improving our club. I want him to stay but he if wants to go, let’s make our club better as a result. I back the club to get it done.
  16. Already this is my new favourite thread No greater combination than trade week and obscure Demonland poster rumors!
  17. 57 hitouts 7 marks 5 tackles 8 score involvements 19 touches. 1 vote. Get the [censored] out.
  18. An outstanding player. An even more outstanding human being. What a star!
  19. How the [censored] did Gawn not get votes for the Carlton game? 44 hit outs, 4 clearances, 8 score involvements, 2 goals. 0 votes. Done with this stupid award.
  20. Absolute joke this voting. What do you expect from a bunch of part timers who can’t get simple rules right?
  21. I present umpire Nicholls. Turd of the highest order and a cheat to boot.
  22. Just seems like a total waste of energy to discuss something that isn't going to happen. Please yourself I suppose.
