Maybe I will understand this more if you explain to me who you think we should be trying to recruit. I expect that you will struggle to come up with some realistic options. I am not saying dont bring in mature bodies but not the expense of using our top picks to overpay for players.

i am not talking using high picks....We must be the most aggressive user of the Free Agency rules this year.

We are in agreement then. Based on who is available under free agency who would you target? I dont think there is anyone on the list restricted or unrestricted that fills our need that is a realistic get ie: I dont see Mitchell or Goddard as realistic gets.

I do not have the info to answer that BRFE. That is for the club to sort. But it is what we must try and do. Priority one.

People are starting to turn sour on my club.

Be that right or wrong, it is happening.

People have been sour on our club for some time. Now is not the time to make rash judgements. You stick to the plan that you think is right and if you see an opportunity to accelerate your position then you take it ie: Clark in the previous off season. I trust we will look at all options but I hope we do it with a level head and dont just push change for changes sake. If there is no good mature mid options at the right price in the offseason then you stick the course and keep developing from within.

Agree with that. But our needs are so obvious...i hope the research has already begun.

Matthews also said, they trot out Gary Lyon to do figure head works as well.

He said that a couple of weeks ago. I don't necessarily agree.

Matthews talked about our structural and ball use problems directly after the game yesterday.

Who is mentioning "stop gap??" This old club needs to get out of first gear...recruiting more kids as long term prospects is not what we need.

Interesting that Malthouse made some honest comments about the club, rather damming i heard..Trying to find a Podcast.

Would be interesting if Neeld or Leigh Brown have been chatting?

Here is the link:

Its rather savage assessment over the current administration you might not like it.

I agreed with Malthouse. There are still many ghosts in the machine.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
