A leader to get behind

After yesterdays loss, Bailey will be gone.. If not this week, it will be in five weeks time. I have been a fan of him, but its not working and we will cut our losses.

That solves one problem, but I believe a leader from outside will help us progress into a decent team.

Like Judd did for the blues, who can we get into our club? In that age bracket of 24 - 28ish-29?

I would be throwing big money at one of these guys and trying to get them into our club for the leadership and give our younger mids someone to build around and learn from.

1. J.Bartel

2. S.Pendlebury

3. S.Mitchell

4. B.Goddard

5. M.Boyd

6. B.Sewell

7. M.Priddis

8. R.OKeefe

Any other ideas?

    None of them will leave their clubs to join us. Ironically, Sewell wanted to come to the Dees several years ago in a proposed transfer with Ryan Ferguson. Great decision that one.

    Blame Ferguson for turning it down.

    Priddis? Really? My god. Pendles is the only one of those I'd go after.

    I hope that snipe was aimed at Ferguson, because he's the reason the deal didn't go through. Since Ferguson was contracted he had to assent to the trade; he didn't.

    The idea is right given our problem with mature onground leaders. By their nature and standing within their clubs, they are not available at almost any price.

    But if you could, then;

    Jonathon Brown

    Joel Selwood

    Matthew Pavlic

    My God Nothing AF - Take your blinkers off

    PRIDDIS would be an awesome get.

    Suggest you watch just one West Coast game this season & you should get it.

    He gets & uses very well the one thing we hardly get.

    The Ball.

    Would be hard to shift from WC but definately the right sort of player we need.

    I've watched a couple of Eagles games this year and if I was going out there to throw money at an elite player, with leadership, it wouldn't be Priddis.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
