James Harmes obviously

Yes he looked in trouble in Maroochydore and I think he will struggle unfortunately. Chris is a great guy and very popular bloke. Disappointing that the injury is recurring and not responding to treatment. Internally the club is worried about his ability to deliver 22 rounds of footy. We need another key tall aside from Jesse H. As Chris has shown, 12-15 games may be the target for the season. Expect Sam Frost to be groomed for the CHF role ...albeit the Weideman/Hogan combo is the goal for 2018 and beyond.

Agree good start for Wagner. I still have Mitch White as the first backup for a half back spot behind Lamumba, Salem and Grimes

Agree. Sad all round from Year 1. 2011 draft was a stinker...classic Neeld screw up. Mitch Clark plus draftees Taggert, Tynan & Sellar. Missed Devon Smith who was always going to be a player. I had him top 10 and he lasted to pick 14. Hopefully Lamumba has a few years left and he provides the settle and experience in finals footy ahead.

Yes he looked in trouble 3 weeks ago at Maroochydore. Chris is a great guy and very popular bloke. Disappointing that the injury is recurring and not responding to treatment. Internally the club is worried about his ability to deliver 22 rounds of footy. We need another key tall aside from Jesse H. As Chris has shown, 12-15 games may be the target for the season. Expect Sam Frost to be groomed for the CHF role ...albeit the Weideman/Hogan combo is the goal for 2018 and beyond.

Yes it justs bugs me that the drug cheats get to "top up" !!

Added Stokes and Polkinghorne... now 6 to the cheats. Will we get a top up ... Mitch Golby? Matt Arnot?? running half back

Just saw the new AFL 2016 promo on channel 7. Plenty of Hawks, Tigers, Crows and Power on multiple shots. No Demons reference in any player, crowd or supporter scenes. Ugly duckling right now but we will rise ... keep the faith.

I saw Dawes and he was not 100 % and stopped training half way through the sessions. Had the calf strapped. Took the boots off and put on the Zoom Pegasus runners. Calf is a continuing problem. May hold him back again.

89 posts... mostly vitriolic and in spite. Victriolic is under V in the dictionary and is an adjective. It sums up your style. The truth about Wines hurts, so don't get angry to posters. Get angry about Neeld setting back MFC for another 3 years.

Still a punt ... good athlete but footy ability and ballwinning a question mark. Must take his chance this year. MFC was generous for the extra year.

Queensland and NSW kids are already tied to Suns, Lions & Giants academies !!! Even playing field ... no way.

I saw Dawes on Saturday and Sunday at Maroochydore. He looked not 100 % and stopped training half way through the sessions. Had the calf strapped. Took the boots off and put on the Zoom Pegasus runners. Calf is a continuing problem. May hold him back again.

Yes... irony. Look it up in the dictionary. Todd and his family are all class. They knew Jimmy T as well and yes helped him settle in. It was never personal against Jimmy.

Jeff Farmer. 2000 Preliminary Final agsinst the Kangas. or 1998 round 22... Demons v Tigers. Farmer speccy over G Lyon.

Oliver is a good size. Good pace. Great prospect. I saw him train at Maroochydore and gets in. Arms and midfield strength need another year or two in the gym.

Will we get a top up player ... have Melbourne FC asked?? I thought Matt Dea despatched by Tigers was a good rebounding defender. Bombers have grabbed him. Mitch Golby or Brodie Martin would be good backups in Melkshams absence. I do not want to see Matt Jones or Terlich coughing up the footy time after time.

"All picked exactly where they were supposed to be" ... because these Phantom Drafts were done 2-3 days prior to the AFL draft when the inside word on the top order was out. For most of the year O'Rourke was ranked between 12-15 before he bulleted up to #2 and pushed Toumpas down to #4. Quote on AFL.com "Wines. Melbourne. They love his fierce attack on the footy and have been big fans for some time". Fact: Melbourne was keen on Wines for all of 2012 until the last week before the draft. Viney was overruled. Fact. I have spoken to Todd and it was confirmed. Evidence? what do you want ... a stat dec. I wanted as first rounders : Salem YES Petracca YES Brayshaw YES Oliver YES Weideman YES Watts YES Wines YES Morton YES (I did not forsee the lack of heart) Scully YES Trengove YES but was against Toumpas NO Cook NO Grgic NO

Why did Hird, Evans, Robson etc meet in July 2012 to get rid of Dank and Robinson? Hird says he was told they could not payout financially and also Dank and Robinson would take legal action. Hird says later they were shocked in February 2013 about concerns and investigations into EFC Answer... They know protocols were missed in July 2012 and had suspicions about what was being injected. Reid alerted issues and they were ignored. Not enough was done to ask questions, stop the process and PROTECT THE PLAYERS. Hird failed the players.

Neeld's f@#kup... he overruled Todd Viney. Neeld setback the club by 5-6 years. Wines was the obvious choice.

Jamar would be ideal choice for Bombers. One year only. Mature strong body. Experienced. Great bloke.

So a club convicted of drug cheating signs a player convicted of drug cheatinh !@@ wtf

10 years at the footy club. Yes they all deserve the life membership. Hopefully Rivers does some development coaching at the Pies then comes back to the Dees
