Lucifers Hero

Freo are probably still salty that we tried to lure TJ back. Remember the comment from their CEO: "I think Melbourne should take our players' names out of their mouths," Garlick said on SEN radio. So they will probably try a silly offer. While 'feather in my cap' Bell is gone, I'm not sure this lot are any easier to deal with. Note: Clearly they didn't heed their own advice, above in luring McVee. Hypocrites !!! Yes, I know spin is the second language in the AFL ... just venting as I'm still hurting Judd is leaving🥹

Is that me? If it is I'm not sure what I 'get' but I'm taking it as a compliment 😄

I would be less angry if he just responded to fans and others: Don't know what will happen at the end of the year; homesick at times. Would be disappointed, he would always be a fave ala Hunt and I would wish him well. Clearly, I don't deal well with deception!!!

Let me introduce you to my new 'Cult' Hero on my avatar !!! . Profile faves also updated.

No reason for Lily to pay the price for McVee's deception. That he held back info from the club is one thing but that he clearly lied to Ghosty and to @Dannyz 's contacts says he cannot be trusted. She should dump him!!

In time I can accept his move but that he consistently and without compunction lied to our dear Ghosty @Ghostwriter is beyond the pail! Not sure he will be on my favourite list much longer ... methinks it is time to find a new avatar.

I took perverse pleasure particularly in one aspect of the Cat's loss.. After they beat us at GMHA this year, Holmes mockingly said "we didn't know how to tag" !!!! Well, those chickens came home to roost yesterday when Scott tagged Mc Cluggage and Rayner. It didn't work and let Lions lose. Eventually, removing the tag from McCluggage but alas too late !!!

Smith looked very lazy yesterday. Poor half-hearted effort in not attacking the ball which allowed Zorko to charge thru pass to Neale for the game turning goal. Very similar to his lazy effort in the 2021 GF that allowed Viney to intercept, get the ball to Harmes then a game-turning goal to (I think) Fritsch! Shirks a tough contest does Bailey!

From 15th in 2018, to 7 consecutive years of SF or better. If it wasn't for some dodgy umpiring in the 2023 GF the Lions would have a 3-peat! Already a dynasty!

None where a club is prepared to trade. They might take him if free as an FA. At least with Trac there is genuine interest with clubs considering trades. I will be over the moon if Oliver does reward the support the club has given him and lives up to the mega contract he signed in mid 2022. I would like both of them to stay at least one more year and see what King can do. Then both might have better trade value.

👏🏻🕺🏻🎉 Have fun DZ And thanks for all the positivity and appreciation you bring to DL 🥂

Therein lies the issue. I don't doubt his commitment; just saying there are other issues at play.

I love Clarry as much as anyone. I think he genuinely wants to stay but his committment to the club is in part because he knows there isn't much, if any interest out there.

The coaching world isn't big - they all know a lot about each other and if they don't they know who to ask. King would have had a big say in Whitford's promotion. He has a very good CV. Lets back them in!

No but neither are the three he is being linked with. Adel have their day but don't fit other aspects of the supposed things he was seeking last year and no longer seems to seek.

Agreed. None of Adel, Syd nor GCS fit the Brand, Big Club, Big Crowds profile the media accused him of seeking last year. So maybe all the click bait hyperbole and trashing of Trac about those being his reasons to move were wrong.

Who uses calendars!

The irony is no-one ever comments on 'brand' Dangerfield (fishing) or 'brand' Smith (himself) and many other players. It is another #TracMyth that has gone out of control.

I appreciate the comparative point you are making and I'm not sure a direct comparison is valid. But that aside, there is a tendency in this thread for posters be selective about info they quote to support their narrative eg someone wrote Trac is over 30 or in his 30's. He is 29 until January to suppor their position he is past it The age per se is no biggy but it has become entrenched as another #TracMyth. My position is that I prefer him to stay but if he goes so be it. Nonetheless, I am a bit pedantic so will try to provide more accurate info when it is available.

Try google!

Probably because Dangerfield has played an extra 147 games. Their average per game is about the same. It would be handy to quote statistics in context.

Very disappointing how much of the media is treating Howell's win. They are focusing on the games when he 'shouldn't' have received votes based on coaches votes. Yet talking up Naicos's close loss - he lost by 7 votes; that isn't close!! Accept the umpires's verdict. After all they are different umpires each game. Just let the kid enjoy the limelight. I bet if the results were the other way round the euphoria for Naicos would be 🤮

I go there several times a year to meet demon fans as it is near a station all can get to. It is essentially a sports bar/pub with pokies, has reasonable food, reasonable prices and very convenient for track watchers and players/staff after training.

A mighty effort FnT. thank you. Might just add The Glasshouse is on the edge of the precinct, a few hundred mtrs from the station.

I would've thought 'common sense' and 'biases' are mutually exclusive... I've not seen anything that says Trac wants to explore options or wants out. That aside, I agree with you that Christian has his flaws but still a match winner. tbh I've resigned myself to Trac, if he goes, helping someone else win a premiership before we do. 🥺😭
