Interesting points by McNamee. Apart from Jono Brown who are some other uncontracted stars at years end? He gives the impression that we will have a serious crack at some uncontracted guns in the near future.

i really like that article... not so much the marquee player side of it, but it shows how mcnamee is working to improve our position...

this channel 7 thing seems interesting, unprecedented access to the changerooms before the game... i assume this will be for tomorrow's game... I'll be at the G, but I might record it at home...

    To be honest, he seems like the right CEO for the club. Landing a marquee player is interesting. Seems like he may already be in discussions with someones management to make a public call like that. I do wonder. All i hope, is that this Marquee player does not cost us 1m per year, and is not a player over 25.

    I hope we can milke out 20k fans for todays game (i know, I am dreaming), would be a good result if we could. Can't see many freo fans making the trip for this one, so the crowd needs to be a sea of red and blue.

    I believe it when I see it.

    I saw a casually attired and dishevelled McNamee early this morning , about 10 David Neitz drop punts from the courts at Kooyong where he originally made his name , and I hope he'll be wearing a suit and working on his appearance before speaking to a marquee player , 'cos it wasn't a good look .

    BTW ,I am always well attired and groomed , even in the early hours .

    Marquee player does not need to be coming out of contract. Need to want to move, and club willing to trade.

    I would suggest Jono B is not a good choice - very vulnerable to injury.

    I'd love to have Pavlich at MFC - he might just be willing given Freo's continuing lack of success.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
