The behind-the-scenes book reveals how Hardwick tried to motivate his side before the clash last year, and his "venomous" post-match player appraisal that targeted his biggest stars.

"We spoke about what that jumper would say (about us when we took it off). Well, I'm going to give you the answer: We are as weak as piss as a football side," Hardwick is quoted as saying.

"We sit there and pledge allegiance to the thing you wear, and the Melbourne Football Club steamrolls our blokes. Our blokes! No hiding from it – weak, f---ing weak!"

Charlie Cameron has ruled out extending his contract beyond 2018, which would make it incredibly stupid of Adelaide not to trade him this year imo while they still have more pull

Last year's game which I honestly don't remember.

Edit: Ah okay, it was apparently the first time the Demons had won consecutive games since 2011.

We should, but I think they're still starstruck by what he could be, rather than what he is, especilly if we can get a first round pick for him.

On the other hand, Gibbs isn't happening, so maybe we'd rather keep the experienced player one more year than be recycled into yet another new draftee who won't contribute for 2-3 seasons, which we seem to be doing ad nauseum - nobody from 2016 or 2015 has made a dent yet bar Greenwood from the Cat b list, and only Lever and McGovern have from 2014

Yes, I seriously hope the club is giving family members a run down on social media because at that place he'd only need to have one bad game and people would be calling for his immediate delisting

Where did he rule it out? Not doubting it, just wondering where it is.

Agreed that we should definitely trade him this year.

You could argue Alex Keath (2015) is primed to play more footy given that Lever is now gone. Mind you, I'm not sure what the plans are with regards to that. He was in as a replacement for Hartigan this season, will they play him as a replacement for Lever? Or go with Doedee/Otten/someone else instead?

Keath is quick enough to play the role but we do start to look at bit top-heavy.

Keath is only 4cm taller than Lever. I always saw him as another lockdown defender, but that may have been because he was in for Hartigan. If he can play the 'third tall' role then he's a perfect replacement.

Doedee needs to squeeze in next year too. Maybe Laird can push onto a wing and he can take his spot.

He said it when Lever told him he was leaving two days before the grand final, because that's really great timing.

Nah, you misread. He said he told him two days out from losing a grand final. Bad phrasing, but it was after.

That's a bit weird. How does, say, Diamond Creek make that work because I can't imagine they're flush with cash either (given the men's team is in Div 2 of the Northern league)

Donation drives. Are the creekers confirmed to be playing on? I know a few clubs were going to struggle to stay in the comp.

I think AFL clubs should step in and partner with them. Carlton could partner with Darebin creek as they're nextdoor to the Preston Blues and that could mean an extra home grou d for the Falcons. St Kilda Sharks could parter with St Kilda. North could partner with Melbourne Uni.

They're probably wary of forming any partnerships with Victorian AFL clubs considering what happened to all the VFA clubs who went down that road.
