And he'll be at the required level of fitness.

And just out of curiosity, being a dual premiership player means he missed out on one. Was he injured or just unable to get into a very good side?

    Arent we looking to improve our midfield and key forward stocks?

    Byrnes is an outside mid who hasnt been making the grade. Goldsack is second banana to two gorillas in the forward line - we have lots of second banana forwards only one gorilla in Clark - so I say no thanks not compelling.

    Good news everyone. We have a small forward.

    So in total, we have one small forward.

    Who really cares.....We don't know how much any of our players are getting...neither do the media.....It's all guess work by them and us....Don't know how much Mitch is getting....Only the club and the player/manager knows....I don't know why people get hung up on this?????

    Which player from the abudance of FA Gorillas and mids do you think we should sign up?

    Pretty sure he was an emergency for last years grand final. So not able to get into the side as new players like Christensen took his spot.

    I care, as it comes out of my membership fees.

    And it is nice to know what kind of ballpark he is in terms of player payment, he didn't seem to hesitate at all while most other players do when it comes to the MFC.

    He'd be cheap, costs us nothing picks wise. Adds plenty of experience and professionalism to a club that desperately needs those two attributes.

    Why all the angst about it.

    Welcome to the Club Shannon.

    Not necessarily anyone from the FA pool that doesnt fit our longer term needs.

    Then what is the harm in signing Byrnes, I think its a good move by the MFC

    I am sure next week will be when we do deals do land a Gorilla and a few Mids when we can actually Trade.

    Does the shareholder really care what the mailboy in a huge organisation is getting paid???

    I'm happy with this signing.

    Having said that, if we got more players in the 'ageing' bracket i would be worried. We retired Green and got rid of moloney + Rivers may walk.

    If someone had asked you - who would you prefer Moloney or Byrnes you'd say Moloney in a heartbeat

    Not just what I said before, it would be good to know what type of coin he is on as it is a factor into what type of compensation we receive from Moloney/Rivers signing with other teams.

    It would just be food for thought to know if we were/were not going to get a pick.

    Yes, could be a fertile plot - I'd be keen on looking at Tom Murphy from this year - seems like a very solid citizen, is UFA and would set a good benchmark for commitment at our club.

    Welcome Shannon!

    He is wrapt to be a Demon, and is very committed, even doing Kokoda in the off season.

    Sorry....Can't let this go.......So, as a good shareholder you would know the saleries of all the office workers...even if you are making a large profit....If we won a premiership would you care how much Trengove got after kicking the winning goal?????

    Sorry just saw your latest post....I'll give it up now....

    Those examples are irrelevant. How much Byrnes is earning comes into play when compensation for losing F/A's are awarded.

    Like i said earlier, its food for thought to know whether or not we should expect a compensation pick.

    Very happy with this pick up. He comes from a winning culture, and knows what it takes to win a premiership.

    I think part of of the problem is our current experienced players are only experienced in an MFC environment. They've never won a premiership or even played deep into the finals. They haven't trained alongside guys that have won Brownlow medals.

    Byrnes has. If he can instill the right ethic into the younger guys then he's served his purpose well.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
