I could've done without being reminded about that.

We're talking about Chance Bateman right? He'll be lucky to be offered another contract I would have thought, and doesn't seem to fit with our needs at all, we've already got a struggling ageing form

Personally, I love it. The media of late have been talking about MFC as if we'll be ravaged by free agency (AFL 360 especially) and moves like this, whether they come off or not, completely tip that

Just saw these 2 on the FA list. Both would work a charm on our list, especially Kerrs experience. Yeh he turns 29 this year but throw him a 2 yr contract to show the young fellas how its done.

I remember seeing this guy bring down Barry Hall in the goalsquare.

REALISTICALLY ACHIEVABLE players that I'd be interested in: Doughty, Adcock, Slattery, Grover, Sewell, Butler, Gwilt, Salopek, Tuck, Bateman, Surjan, Rosa.

Yes, Bateman.

Why "lol"?

We're talking about Chance Bateman right?

He'll be lucky to be offered another contract I would have thought, and doesn't seem to fit with our needs at all, we've already got a struggling ageing former goal sneak.

Just checked, Deledio re-signed for another 2 years about a month ago, so might be an idea to check this list before getting too excited fellas

Lids signed for 5 years.

He's not a goal sneak.

And he'd be a good role model for the players, as a gut-running midfielder.

The very type of mature-bodied and mature-minded player we require.

Good for only a couple of years, but that's all we want.

Just don't see him being a regular 22 guy for us from 2013 onwards, and I reckon we have enough of those "depth" style players, MUCH prefer more of a gun, like Sewell, would fit in so well with Neeld's style.

I think he'd be great to have around the club for his influence on the kids, would play a handful of games, and that we'd be able to throw him a lifeline and get him cheap.

I wouldn't be looking for anyone to play much after 2013.

We need to build our list from the draft.

Any mature-agers should be supplementary and acquired with aiding the development of the kids in mind, first and foremost.

I know Sydney have done well, but I don't think we would have the same success attempting to replicate their model.

Not at this stage.

When I think of us signing an old player from another club I just can't help but think Byron Pickett... (who incidentally was one of my favourite players, but was probably a bad move for us)... Just don't see the point in getting these guys in for a year or at most 2, we're not having a shot at a flag and need a top up, and all they'll do is take games off young guys for a while, much rather a gun who takes games off young guys until they earn it not just until the old bloke retires.

What would be Sewell's motivation for leaving Hawthorn?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
