Pendlebury off the shopping list

If Pendles leaves it will be to have one last crack at a flag.

It would depend on how we finish the season, and if Collingwood would be willing to eat a portion of his salary.

Interesting suggestion but it is a long shot.

    He'd be 30 leading into next year. I assume Collingwood would only move him on if they received a great offer (by trade). I doubt we would entertain handing over a first round pick for a 30 year old - who does appear to be trending downwards - albeit very slowly, but downwards nonetheless.

    Isn't he their captain? Cut from same cloth as Bucks. Can't see him going elsewhere at 30

    To old now...pity, he's a great player but I wouldn't be trading for him unless it was a Lewis deal or we could take him as a free agent.

    Another solid ruckman

    Another quality KPD

    A few more mids who can kick the ball.

    I reckon quality midfield ball users will be at the top of our list. If a quality KPB came out that didn't blow our cap, we'd certainly look at them, but I have a feeling it's a bit of a get games into our KPBs and let them settle in our defensive 'system'.

    I would prefer some Ruck Depth & Key Positions. We lack Ruck Depth & another Key Position Defender & Key Position Forward.

    Agree.

    We have a plethora of midfielders and utilities who will and can run through the midfield. Most of whom are all under the 50 game mark. 

    Going after Pendles with the way our list stands now would be a a very silly decision given what we'd have to give up and pay.

    Our major weakness now is quality KP defenders. Tom McDonald displays yoyo form weekly. It was like he was playing charades in the Richmond game.

    I'd be throwing coin at a really strong, smart and talented mature key defender. Neither Oscar or Frost are ready to perform at the required level and as I've said, I'm not even sure they'll cut it in time. 

    And frankly, whilst Tom 'battles manfully' and all that, he is hardly improving his weaknesses over time, which you hope all your players do..

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
