Will the Big Russian get a farewell game?
Ted Lasso replied to The Lobster Effect's topic in Melbourne Demons
Gawn is our number one ruck, and Spencer has smashed the door down, it's unfortunate but at the stage we're at we can't afford to be sentimental.- 85 replies

I've mentioned a few times on here, Jesse gets along well with my best mate, we let him go visit his family basically whenever he wants, the club for all the things it does wrong is managing Jesse really well, and she said he has mentioned that to her, he's stoked with how we treat him, we have invested so much in the kid, and he rates the club and it's direction so absolutely nothing to stress about here, every time we play in perth he takes a few extra days over there. But lets indulge the hyperthetical, Jesse asks for a trade to freo at the end of 2016, still contracted, we'd demand Nat Fyfe or Lachie Neale and their 2016 & 2017 first rounders

Delistings/trades at end of the season
Ted Lasso replied to Northern Summer's topic in Melbourne Demons
Looking at our list going forward the spots i'd have locked up and would take a massive deal to trade would be.. Lynden Dunn ???????? Nev Jetta Christian Salem Tom Mcdonald ??????? ???????? Jack Viney Bernie Vince Christian Petracca Jesse Hogan Jack Watts Jeff Garlett ??????? Dean Kent Max Gawn Nathan Jones ?????? Angus Brayshaw Dom Tyson Alex Neil-Bullen Billy Stretch -
The MFC reminds me of a team that genuinely wants to get better because that's what should happen, not a team who desperately wants to get better and will one way or another make it happen. there are certain players within the club hell bent on seeing us improve, and there are others that think it'd be a nice idea. we need to be ruthless this off season, i'd rather see 18 year olds running around giving the effort of Brayshaw, Stretch and Nibbler than blokes who have been around a while and lack the fire in the belly to make things happen.

I must say I have some concerns about the way they're handling it, when you're talking about 250-300 game premiership legends of a footy club being pushed out the door so you can sign the current big thing it just to me doesn't sit very well. surely they couldn't let blokes like Stevie J and Bartel just walk to different clubs.

No mucking around with this kid, 7 year deal worth 10 mil.

So potentially the lions could get pick 2 for Leuenberger? Frawley was a joke for pick 3 but my god no one could defend that!
-
The fact we dont lose by 80 points plus every week is a good indication of our improvement

Hooray for mediocrity

Narrowing down the draft - Dees to pick between 3 mids?
Ted Lasso replied to Young Blood's topic in Melbourne Demons
If we go to the draft i think it'll be balic -
Howe has more value to teams like GCS or GWS because he is marketable, he is a unique player and so because of that factor he is worth a bit more than what his playing ability alone probably is, I wouldn't be surprised to see Brisbane lions join in the chase in a big way.
-
Pretty sure we're going to cop it bad this week Roosy said he wants to see the boys get angry, I reckon they might go too far, it won't last long enough and Freo will give us a touch up 70 plus point loss.
-
Rumours flying around that we're into Lachie Plowman, Howe for Plowman? Howe for Lynch at Adelaide? Howe and a pick for Bennell? I reckon Howe is worth about pick 20-25

I dont think what he said was all that bad, just very honest -
Some serious questions asked about Paul Roos ...

Its always been the same issue, the spuds on our list. -

Is he wrong? Fair to say optimism isnt a common thing around here. -

Lloyd doesnt have a clue what he is n about. -
If someone wants to pay him 500k we should take the top 25 pick and run before they realise.
-
it's the clubs balls SWYL time to let every bloke on our list know they haven't earned the right to be untouchable, every single player has two games to prove they deserve to stay. time for some big calls, we know Roosy can coach, they have a plan, the players either fit into that or they go elsewhere and we get someone in who will. No other profession would allow such below par performances consistently without jobs being on the line, we should be no different.
-
I'm not sure even that would work but I agree with the idea, we desperately need to sign a superstar and we need that to happen pretty well ASAP

Delistings/trades at end of the season
Ted Lasso replied to Northern Summer's topic in Melbourne Demons
I really think we have the young core to go somewhere, the older heads are what concern me, Brayshaw, Hogan, Viney, Tyson, Petracca, Neal-Bullen, Tmac, Gawn and co should make a decent core to take the club forward, but while the teams leaders are blokes like Chris Dawes, Jeremy Howe, Colin Garland, Jack Grimes how can we really expect to move forward I personally would be really keen to see Dawes, Grimes, Toumpas, Howe, Garland all leave the club over the off season either via trade of Free agency. if we could somehow get something in return that'd be great. -

I wonder if Brisbane would be silly enough to take Dawes for Redden? -
