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?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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.
