    Spoken about media scrutiny, the fact that he doesn't see all of it (though it seems like he is pretty aware of what is said) and the unreliability of a lot of it. Praised Clarks attitude and positive effect on the squad. Hinted at experience and roles influencing the way we go about free agency and improving the list at that time. Said he wasn't comfortable talking about Cloke and said 'There hasn't been an offer from the MFC and he's not coming here'. Explained that experience is not just 40 games into a player but 40 good games etc. Something about other coaches but didn't quite catch that!

    Hope that Landers get a hold of this interview to watch. The key message is that our list requires two seasons to develop but it has to be done the right way.

    Of course, that will be lost in the headline that Cloke is not coming to Melbourne.

    Also said that they would be looking at experienced players if they perfectly fit what they were after and it would take a fair bit to relinquish the draft picks we have.

    As expected....nothing new here.

    Goddard will go to Fremantle if he leaves St. Kilda. Cloke's off to Carlton. Boak's off to Geelong, and Caddy's off to either Essendon or North Melbourne..

    I'm forecasting an underwhelming trade period..

    It can't be. If it is we may as well pack it in right now.

    there is no way caddy is going to essendon they have nothing to give i think our pick 13 would get the deal done

    Well, it doesn't mean we can't have a crack. We've got the picks to go after the likes of Boak and Caddy if we wanted to...but i'm not getting the impression that the stars of the competition are clamouring to sign with us just yet..

    We got Mitch Clark, so who knows...

    true. It would be tough for them to do a deal. North might be better placed...I'm sure we could do a deal that would satisfy GC if he chose to return to Melbourne, but all reports suggest he has his heart set on Essendon.

    Perhaps someone should tell him we have a three game winning streak against them..

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
