What

Yes really. And we didnt fall into the finals.

No point complaining when the Demons will no doubt land a very big free agent in the next year or two. Anyway, Jack Riewoldt turns 30 next month so it makes sense they would get Lynch. Can you blame him for choosing an established club when he had to spend the first half of his career at the Suns?

The time is drawing nearer. The beast will be unleashed in his first ever final in front of 90K Friday night at the MCG. Having played just 7 games this season and struggling with for the 12 months with a frustrating foot problem, JV might just be more angry than usual ... if thats even possible. Adds another layer of intrigue to an already tantalizing game.

Is Oscar underrated? At 22 years of age he held down full back in 14 win team, and had the increased pressure of his gun key defender partner Jake Lever going down for the season. They had just started to click and suddenly we bring in the very inexperienced Joel Smith to cover Levers role before the emergence of Frosty. Your thoughts on O Mac and how he is tracking and how good he will be in 2019 and beyond.

They will try and bully us early as we have practically no finals experience, Lewis aside. It will not end well for them.

Seems like he and Flip are busts. Bring in Preuss, have Weid and T Mac as relief rucks when needed and we should be set. Then theres Bradtke too, though he would only be a break open in case of extreme emergency and a few years off playing senior footy youd think.

Agreed 100%. We cant go in to next season with Max King and Filipovic as our backup ruckmen.

MELBOURNE has emerged as an unlikely suitor for lightly played Kangaroos ruckman Braydon Preuss. Preuss played eight games last year and threatened Todd Goldstein's status as North Melbourne's No.1 big man, but failed to play a senior match in 2018 despite dominating at VFL level. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-30/dees-emerging-as-surprise-suitor-for-big-roo

Onya Bernie, You will always be linked with Roosy, PJ and the rest of the crew that selflessly came to this club when it was at rock bottom to help turn it around and make it something great again, and you succeeded. TO BERNIE!

Brian Taylor went up in my eyes for having a go at that clown Tex. Walker is the biggest hypocrite in the AFL.

Just came back in to this thread to laugh at Tex Walker again.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-29/tex-wants-answers-from-unhappy-mcgovern ????

I could have sworn he was listed at 197cm when he was drafted.

Hes played 15 games for 12 wins and 3 losses.

None. He said just a few days ago that Gaff would definitely be a Demon.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-28/crow-blow-star-forward-mcgovern-requests-trade LOL Wonder if Tex will have a sook again like when Lever walked out on that joke of a club. Loving this!

Lever made the right decision. Nobody wants to play there or be there. Suck [censored] Tex Walker.

Was thinking that might be the case.... if so... wow.

Does anyone know the reason why they are standing like that? That cant be a coincidence. So weird.

You cant teach this sort of timing, decision making, skill and instinct. Every club will regret passing on this kid... should have been a top 10 pick imho.

Wines - fat, slow, poor foot skills . Couldn't care less we dont have him tbh Hope he enjoyed Mad Monday though

64 goals, 88 behinds over his career. Its been a problem for him since day 1 and hasn't been improved in 5 years... he was terrible in front of goal last season, and just about as bad this season. No doubt hes a big talent, but he makes Tom Bugg look like Plugger Lockett when it comes to goal kicking. His kicking in general play is also pretty bloody bad.

The offseason just got more exciting.... cant wait to see what Mahoney and co. have up their sleeve if Gaff really is going elsewhere.
