Let's not pretend we are Hawthorn. We should all know that Viney and either Pearce or Wellingham makes our midfield better.

    Sad call Buddy. Never heard of Aaron Hamil? Different code but I'd love to hear you voice these kind of bigoted old man opinions around Ian Roberts.

    I'm not sure if it's exactly common knowledge that Sammy is that way inclined.

    Either way, it should make difference if Wellingham and Franklin are.

    It doesn't reflect on their ability as players.

    I think Wellingham would fill a role for us that we sorely need filled.

    We don't have many that share the same attributes.

    I base my opinion on his stupid metrosexual look off the field more than last nights game.

    Last nights game was more of a laugh for me especially when he got booted in the head.

    Q.Why do grown men share a house when both are millionaires?

    WTF has this got do with whether or not Sharrod Wellingham is an option for possible pick up for the MFC.

    So the way he looks off the field is a obviously a really good way of judging someone's football ability and whether he is a good mix for our team. Also he can live with whomever he choose to. I lived with other male friends up until I met my partner and started having children and then moved into my own house, how is this any different. The amount of money he makes is irrelevant, in fact if he wants to remain an Millionaire best thing to do would be save cost of living by sharing a house with someone.

    Of course I've heard of Hamil.He played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. What do you mean by "bigoted old man opinions'?

    Why would I call Buddy if I'm sad. Wellingham might answer the phone. What code would I use for Ian Roberts? Non Kapiche.

    PIES KEEP RIVALS AT BAY

    COLLINGWOOD has offered Sharrod Wellingham and Tyson Goldsack contracts as it seeks to retain the list that got it to a preliminary final.

    The Travis Cloke situation will take centre stage from today on, but rival clubs will continue to nibble at the edges.

    Wellingham must decide whether the deal is satisfactory or ponder the cash and multi-year contract available at Melbourne.

    Similarly, Goldsack will scrutinise his contract after establishing himself as defensive forward who can kick goals and stifle attacking half-backs.

    on this subject and apologies if it's posted elsewhere (before the trolls come down on me) if it came down to Tippett or Cloke which are both possibilities (though Malthouse is keen on Cloke) who would be best for Melbourne?

    This is from Kim Hagdorn whose batting average rivals that of NZ's Chris Martin so FWIW we might find out about Cloke's future very soon - Clock ticks on Cloke at Carlton

      Quote
    POWERHOUSE Collingwood forward Travis Cloke is likely to be put on a tight deadline to declare whether he joins Carlton after the Magpies were bundled out of this year’s premiership hunt by Sydney.

    Cloke, 25, is tipped to be given just 72 hours to tell new Blues coach Mick Malthouse whether he will leave Collingwood in what shapes as a highly controversial switch to the Magpies' bitter rival.

    Don't get too excited but the article goes on to say we're after Chris Dawes.

    I hope someone's keeping a tally of draft stories of 2012 that went belly up!

    Keeping Cloke will see a couple others depart.

    Yes, that seems likely.

    Also, Caddy's preference is to get to Collingwood, but they'll struggle to satisfy Gold Coast with a decent pick. Unless, of course, they trade Wellingham to Melbourne for pick 13 and on-trade that pick to GC.

    Dawes !!!??

    Wellingham might be ok. You must remember Wellingham is next in line to the elites of the competition, Pendels, Swannette and no 17 with the Tatts. Wello's would get the opportunity to be a number one premium mid at Melb.

    But who would WE prefer?

    Wellingham or Caddy?

    I'm not sure myself.

    Leaning towards Wellingham.

    From what I have heard we're talking to every out of contract player.

    The problem is who would want to come to our club?

    Keen for Wellingham just because he is older and "proven" putting in some performances, has the mongrel in him as well.

    Worse player than who on our list at this stage? Besides Jones, Clarke, Frawls, Grimes, Howe and debatable on Sylvia. Who else?

    and this down furher

    Dawes, 24, has been linked with a switch to struggling Melbourne as another forward line option alongside big Mitch Clark when he is back into action next year after missing the second half of this season with a severe foot injury

    Offering him $100k more is equal to doing nothing at all. As B-H and old55 have both pointed out already, players aren't going to want to leave successful clubs to come here for only a "bit" more pay, it would need to be something really juicy. If you want to move players, you need to overpay. I think it's that simple.

    Not always. Sometimes its a case of opportunity, Wellingham would likely be a key midfielder for us. He might want to play ,ore time in the middle rather than be a second string to Swan, Beans, Pendlebury etc. You just don't know.....

    Bate was looking at leaving last year because of opportunity. Will probably go this year because it didn't really happen for him...

    That's probably a good hint you should question where you stand.

    I did-and I still agree with Tona on this guy.

    It's the fringe that worries me-the stupidity of trying to look like Justin Beiber when you are 23 didn't work for Bennell either.

    Clearly Fashion sense and haircut are the sole determining factors in whether or not you can be a good AFL footballer. Dermie, Platten, Tex Walker, Kouta ...

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag.

On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
