Sheedy would rather him go to the draft than give him to us. And there will be 18 other teams in the competition with this same thought in mind. Whilst the bitter man is at the helm we won't be able to get any of their players.

    So let him.

    Of course we should find out his long term future. After what GW$ did to the MFC all is fair game.

    The MFC must be relentless in the pursuit of its own gains. It is what other clubs do.

    To say "we do not have the balls" is an attitude we need to shed.

    If anything the MFC "balls" need to grow...

    Get in his manager's ear now.

    5 mil for 5 years. Starting 2014.

    The ultimate payback.

    IMO RR 2013 is about getting good experienced players into our team.

    2014 in our current predictment is a lifetime away.

    Lets go after the getables for 2013.

    If he is any good and we may not know till 2014.

    The que will stretch to about 17 chances.

    Dees supporter as a kid!

    I heard somewhere he was a dees supporter but now just generally follows football

    Unfortunately he isn't eligible for free agency for a long time. So we will have to pay through the nose to get him.

    I don't really see it as payback at all. GWS didn't have to give up anything to poach Scully from us. We will have to give up a couple of first round draft picks minimum to get Patton.

    While I don't really think Cloke would be worth the coin, it would be awesome knowing that we got him without giving up any players or draft picks. Hence why free agency is so interesting.

    You can already see how good Patton is going to be. So too Cameron. If anyone would rather Watts than Cameron they've been wasting their time following footy.

    OK, wrong thread.

    Love your combative, positive, go-getting attitude as usual Sloonie.

    Silly dream. He won't leave, will see out his next contract, and at that stage a move for Patton is possible.

    I say try:

    Aaron edwards - foil for clarke, bandaid

    Sidebottom, montagna, goddard - $$$ may get them.

    Beams at less then those mentioned above

    Myles sewell, shane valenti, and yes even Brock Mclean.

    Fringe players from the hawks, carlton, WCE, essendon, geelomg

    Only spend big bucks to get a walk up star, and I think we could recycle a few more stop gaps like seller.

    Clarke so far value for coin.

    So 2 proven facts from this year are we (1) need quality ready to go midfielders and (2) we could do with a foild up foward for clarke like a A. Edwards or crameri or even a mcglynn type.

    Fingers croseed there is a few goodbyes, more quality kids, And a few more bandaides so kids can develop properly.

    Jetstar domestic flight and a silvertop taxi to AAMI Park.

    That will be the attitude going forward. GW$ will not be able to hold all these guns.

    Players will move once FA kicks in. Including our players.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
