You know,

I have been watching these topics and posts about trading and drafting players from other teams.

What has come to my attention is it seems that the same people that are always saying what kind of players we need are the same ones saying no to every single player someone else suggests. Now everyone is entitled to their opinion obviously but seriously there has to be one single player people like who we need.

I in my opinion believe we should target Jesse White and target him hard. He is young so obviously hasnt been dominating the competition yet but he will be a star. Players like that don't come along very often.

If not then well (cue bashing) We need to go after Travis Cloke. See if we can give him a contract offer that appeals to him. Best and fairest winner, still young and has all the qualities that we as a team currently lack up forward. I dont care if he needs to work on his kicking, Jack Riewoldt needed to aswell and look what he did.

No disrespect Demon_Tingles but I'm moving this thread to the Trading and Drafting Forum Board.

Well Cloke is out of contract unless you have been living under a rock you would know that so if he goes to draft we can draft him .... seriously did you just ask that?

Not sure about White think hes out of contract too but i may be mistaken.

White is signed with Sydney through 2012.

Cloke's not going anywhere, his pinhead father just thinks he's a good negotiator and Collingwood are shaking in their boots over his ludicrous threat to enter the draft.

I can assure you of two things: 1) They're not, and 2) He won't.

Even if Cloke goes to the draft, GC17 still have more picks than the Seven Dwarves. They would certainly take him before pick 12.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
