  1. I want him, just saying we should have gone after him when he was more gettable and not as expensive. He will be harder to get out of the Tiges now and more clubs would be interested if he was on the move.
  2. I thought (and said so at the time) that we should have looked at him 2 years back when he wasn't getting a regular game. He looked to have the potential then. I reckon that train has now left the station...he would be hard to move out.
  3. When Andy Maher said there was a rumour about a player in one of the weekend teams.... Well, why did I know it was a Melbourne player. It's a team game and I'm guessing they're all staying together. I feel like dropping the team. Surely someone could sort this out.
  4. I don't think Brown is much of a ruck... ...but if the Dogs can ruck dunkley then maybe we can run Melk back into form in the ruck???? Only half joking.
  5. 69yo next year...certainly brings calm and wisdom to an organisation. If he was up for it, would love him on board. If he wasn't looking for a full-time job next year he would also be the right person to carry out an independent review of our club. Couldn't think of anyone more qualified and we should jump at the opportunity.
  6. Bigots are bigots, I'm sure they don't care which team. Even their own teams players.
  7. Actually no....lets edit that out. Was posting about the Covid stuff.. ...but this is too important to be derailed. Please keep on track everyone. This thread is about racial abuse of Kossy. I see that the police tracked down the hero who threatened Grimes. I hope they have success with some of these racist morons.
  8. ...and there lies the problem. If you can't see it, I can't help you.
  9. I can't see how or why they would be a part of it. Port have been struggling financially for a while now. It just makes no sense for them to be a part of this now.
  10. I guess it's the end of the traditional VFA clubs that are left. Port & Willie either pack up or do a Fitzroy and move on to another comp.
  11. I think he is depth at best. I don't see Charlie getting a regular game if we are to be a Premiership contender. For now, I guess he gets a game.
  12. This is a terrible game of footy. The consistent this season is that C/Wood have been in many terrible games. Their game plan and personnel keep throwing up rubbish games.
  13. One of our problems is a lack of talent. I don't know if his issues are insurmountable but he does have talent.
  14. ...for a throw away pick in the 50's???

    He's really not... Been tried there before in real games and it didn't work. 'Wise' spells it out pretty well here.

    Thanks 'AF'... That was also what I meant to post and got sidetracked. I sure hope we get that news very soon...
  17. Now that's the way to apologise, I hope they back it up with actions. At least they're not holding a royal commission like Eddie's mob.
  18. If you watched some of the footy from Darwin the other night. Good old BT was pushing out some really condescending stuff about the fans that wasn't great to say the least. He's of my generation and I know he didn't mean it but at the same time so many just don't really get it. We've got a long, long way to go.

    Funny to say for a first year player... ...but he has been a big loss. Just got our forward half into some type of shape then he goes down. Apart from anything else I really like watching him play. Look forward to watching him develop in 2021.
  20. rjay replied to Elegt's topic in Melbourne Demons
    He had lost is as a defender and we had to try and find a spot forward for him. Started well in defence but then lost it. The same thing is happening to him now as a forward. It would be worth making the change during a game 'Biff', you have to try something. ...but as a permanent move, May has been too valuable as a defender.

    I think we would be lucky to get that 'dazz'...Bruce is a similar type a year younger. "The Western Bulldogs have added to their key forward stocks by recruiting Josh Bruceto the kennel. The Dogs & Saints struggled to agree on Bruce's trade value over the past week, but the Saints eventually accepted picks 32 and 51 in return. The 27-year-old has been given a four year deal at the Dogs." We would probably be lucky to get a pic in the 50's for Tommy in exposed form now...

    Probably better suited here... From my topic back in early 2019... I think he should have been dropped back then. Most, including our FD lived in hope. It was false hope.
  23. Like' @binman' above, I had just read the article before catching this post. It's a very sad story indeed. The reaction from the VFL and local football bodies at the time was telling. They were not cast in a great light. Sports administrators often follow rather than lead the way. I expect to be reading about how the AFL turned a blind eye to the behaviour of certain club Presidents and the poor behaviour shown to Adam Goodes among others sometime down the track. We've certainly got a long way to go despite the current rhetoric.
