Average player who might add some value with regards to attitude and leadership.

    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

    depends whether you're talking moloney2011 or moloney2012

    depends on whether you're looking for a fast small forward or not

    No I wouldn't!! Byrnes wants to play for Melbourne, Moloney doesn't. That puts the seal on it.

    Let's not argue about that now. Moloney will be a loss though. Hopefully Byrnes can cover him? Was he injured this year??

    Welcome Shannon

    Good pick up and exactly what the Moneyball principle is about. No worldbeater fills a role on and off the field.

    One door Opens, will another shut?

    Now lets see how the Dawe swings.

    cool footage dandee! Byrnes had a great game. Seems an opportunist type of player. May not play every match. May not even start in best 22?

    As Geddy Lee said - Byrnes brings our grand total of small forwards at the club to 1...

    He has a place Rd 1, 2013 and for the foreseeable future.

    Finally landed a 28 year old forward pocket that wasn't in the best 22 in a team that finished 7th and no one else was after them. What a steal.

    If I may balance post, I'm happy enough because he'll play that position better than anyone we currently have.

    He will fill the gaping hole in our forward line left by Maric.

    And also premiership players and duel premiership players to 1 also!

    I assume we'll target small forwards in rounds 4 5 and the rookie draft

    • 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?
