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.

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?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
