Well if Mark Stephens says it then it must be gospel truth :-)

I can't wait until we can load up with a bunch of C-grade rejects from other battling clubs. Premiership cup, here we come.


MELBOURNE could be the new home for Essendon utility Angus Monfries.

The dangerous small goal shark is a conspicuous absence in recent top signings up at Windy Hill and remains out of contract.

It has emerged that Monfries could be headed to the Demons as part of plans from coach Mark Neeld to bolster scoring potential for his struggling unit that won just four games this season.

If the highly experienced Bomber doesn’t head for Melbourne and an MCG home, Monfries is also linked in a possible switch to Port Adelaide.

Port veteran Danyle Pearce is also understood to be considering a move to Melbourne on an attractive four-year deal.

Monfries, 25, is originally from South Australia and a return to his home state is additional lure to a possible switch to Port if Pearce leaves as appears firmly on the cards.

The Demons are believed to have secured a handy small forward with crucial opportunist goal kicking as a serious appeal and are waiting for a chance to announce their new signing.

Neeld is determined to increase his scoring power in ambitious plans to rapidly rise into finals contention.

The Demons averaged just 71.8 points a game in Neeld’s inaugural season, which ranked 15th in the league, while Melbourne leaked 106.4 points a match which was the third biggest in the competition.

It is believed early Demons recruiting lures have snared a handy small forward to join in tandem with last year’s boom arrival Mitch Clark.

Yay, 2 players who hate the contest.

Pearce is a smooth player if he has no one near him, terrible when tagged.

Monfries falls over at a breath of wind and holds his head, can play a bit tho.

Not exactly what i would have expected Neeld to go after but I'll trust his judgement over mine for now (if true)

 

If we do get Pearce you can kiss goodbye to any mum jokes on demonland

Thats my initial thought too, however, when i heard we were going hard for Mitch Clark i thought. No thanks, hes an over-rated ruckman surplus to our needs, gives away free kicks from trying to be a hard man and has a stupid hair cut and stupid tatts.

How perspective can change when you see what role Neeld has in mind for them, and they're wearing red and blue!

I reckon journos spread this "Shite" and then do a nearest the pin comp at the end, to see who buys the beers.

  • 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.
