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..

    • 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.
