Exactly no club can afford to wait that long for a player to improve - the club needed to recruit an older ruckmen to fill the void! Melbourne supporter here - I'd just like to point out that we had to wait an effing long time for Jamar to be even considered competent, let alone a good ruckman. Hav...

Tell me people suggesting Bate think it is April the first. The guy is slower than me and that is saying something. CJ aint no star but he does at least get the Bll. Yes he turns it over but there arent many options in our side. He isn't slow, he's quite quick in a straight line. His issues are tha...

Saying Brad Green is soft just goes to show how little of you have seen him play. Glenn Archer he ain't, but he's always the first to put his body on the line to take a mark to save a goal, and he always , without exception, goes when it is his turn. If you're interested in soft Dees players, Chris ...

Salary cap has little if anything to do with it. He's not on that much money. MFC are trying to sack him...

Wrong. MFC want to get rid of him because of some off field issues. Salary cap has little if anything to do with it. He's not on that much money.

He's not that bad of a player. He's a handy backup defender. 'Worst defender in the league' is definitely rubbish. The problem with Carroll is that he's an bsolute headcase though with well documented issues, and his position at MFC has become untenable because of it. If I were in charge, I'd accept...

Thanks for the 'Demonland' perspective Nasher. :) From reading threads/posts on your forum I have noticed a common theme that Sandy seemed to be les than willing to 'toe the party line' when it came to MFC wishes. Hopefully part of the agreement we have struck with them will spell out what our requ...

yep, correct, that's exactly what we did. We are an AFL club, they are a VFL club - we have the money and power to force them to do what suits us. A VFL club is a prostitute for an AFL club - that's the only way it can work. Harsh but true, and I hope we assert the same autocracy over the Zebras. A...

Hah, doesn't seem like long ago that I was saying that. Players my age are in their prime. Before we know it, kids, we'll all be old enough to be the parents of AFL players. Time flies.
