    Life was not meant to be easy A rebel board member has called for a spill of the Melbourne Racing Club committee following scathing criticism of Caulfield Racecourse’s new $160 million mounting yard facilities as well as the club’s $250 million plans to replace the Rupert Clark Grandstand. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/racing/rebels-call-for-spill-of-melbourne-racing-club-board-saying-caulfield-revamp-in-disarray-20240822-p5k4mk.html Toss up as to how this might affect/delay our plan

    Yeah but we'll make a decent amount from the away gate takings I suspect we need it
  5. Mercy rule time Casey definitely needs a rethink as to strategic goals etc I don't mind losing but are they gaining anything skill wise
  6. Karma strikes
  7. Getting killed out the back
  8. A ruckman would be useful

    he's hiding in the grass
  10. Dare we expect more

    Amazing that they could match the Eagles offer.
  12. Sounds about right Langdon was traded from Freo for a mid second rounder and a future second but he was five odd years younger
  13. We'll be lucky to match that. Adelaide will play hardball in the extreme unless Port get involved. Ironic given that if the move was in reverse (Adelaide to Melbourne) you'd probably have about six clubs after him. We could of course pay a large chunk of his salary and "buy" a higher pick. Not a completely dumb idea

    GWS v Dogs and Freo v Port/GWS are the real shapers Carlton could easily replace the Dogs and GWS could miss if they lose to Freo and the Dogs Similarly Freo are vulnerable Of course if Carlton lose to the Eagles this weekend the 8 is fixed other than its order
  15. Eagles at $1M per year if he goes anywhere is my guess
  16. We traded LJ for two pick 13's. Luck saw Freo drop and the subsequent year's pick was 7. He was pick 3 and was at the time of trading clearly the best of his draft year. Freo offered a record contract. Yep we didn't do well in that trade if measured at the time of trading Looking at it three years later it looks better but would (could) he have made a difference in 2023?
  17. We leak all over the ground
  18. The ease with which they move the ball is worrying to say the least. That last minute was diabolical
  19. We have zero structure

    Oh well Cats to go top 4 Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
  21. Diamond_Jim replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Goal for goal slugfest Come on Freo
  22. Diamond_Jim replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Come on Freo Win and top 5 are interstate teams !!
  23. Diamond_Jim replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    GWS please Just makes it that little bit harder for Geelong to go top 4 and of course if they lose to Freo it's almost a certain lockout of the top 4 by interstate sides.
  24. Lovely weather this weekend in Melbourne. Perfect days for the young ones to show their wares and we have a VFL bye. Love this competition
