Having watched Casey all year I'd have thought Dunstan was the obvious replacement with Melk a close second. I'm sure the 200 games came into the equation.
-
Fair enough. However I'd rather be Grenada than a serial windbag who puts everyone to sleep by the 3rd paragraph. 😁
-
Ahem - I think you & Flaubert should maybe get a room.
-
Poor old HL made more in 10 years at the Pies than I earned in my working life but I hear lattes are very expensive in the US so maybe you & the Demonland woke brigade could set up a GoFundMe page to help him out.
-
Yes but fortunately the number of people that support or believe something has no impact on whether something is true or not. And I don't think decent people secretly tape a private conversation and then without consent leak selected parts to the public.

Are you trying for "woke of the year" or a PhD A Bible length melange of half baked assertions & crackpot theories. Are you Colin Flaubert posting under another name ? Can't believe how much sympathy this entitled prat is receiving. We dodged a bullet when he left the Dees early.

Superior ruck work - you must be kidding 🤣 Sam's ruck work is woeful & at boundary throw ins he is probably the worst in the AFL.
-
I'd love to see them pick the best design over the last 5-10 years & stick with that permanently. Maybe they sell more by changing design every year.
-
Nah I only get cranky with the serial windbag, historical revisionists and chardonnay socialists that use Demonland to lecture to the rest of us.

Historical footnote. I was living in Darwin in the early 1980's & involved in the local footy. I wrote to the MFC to tell them that there were a lot of talented Aboriginal players in the NT & suggested that Melbourne should look at recruiting some of the local talent in particular the Rioli boys. Ray wrote back & thanked me for the info & said they were aware of the local talent pool & were monitoring things however nothing came of it.

How the Rift between Woewodin & the Dees was Healed
Cranky Franky replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Absolute revisionist BS. He was a $300,000 a year player getting paid $500,000 a year. If he had agreed to be paid what he was worth he probably could have stayed on. Apart from 2000 he was a completely average, ordinary player. Even Collingwood woke up & delisted him shortly after. -

I don't have much sympathy for Shane. His management had us over a barrel because Jeff Farmer had left & leveraged a very fat contract for Shane who was a solid player who happened to have 1 great season. He was being paid way overs. If he'd agreed to be paid what he was worth he could have stayed at Melbourne. So if he was cranky with the Club who cares. -
I reckon when we played the Crows on the 90s we got about 7000 there

Most goals on debut by jumper number.

Managed to carve out a decent career with 92 games. These days he heads up Comcar. -
👍Yes a terrific guest to have on. Loved the way he talked over their interjections & attempts to take the mickey.
-
30 seconds of my life wasted. You don't need to post every time u have a fantasy about a former champion.
-
Is there any point to this post or are you just trying to re state the obvious ?
-
I've watched both games & Laurie has done nothing much at all. He is a long, long way from a debut on that form. Are you sure you've got the right player ?

I thought Dunstan should have done a lot more. Went ok but won't get a call up on that form.
-
Caribou are medium size unless you mean elk which are massive.
-
Posting this 2 rounds in with Casey playing 1 match suggests the only cull should be WERRIDEE.
-
Fully agree Hunt went ok last week.

Translation - Anybody who disagrees with me is a dill because I'm (probably) the smartest & most virtuous person here.
