Freo make offer for Danyle Pearce, meanwhile we go after spuds like Rodan and Lynch

Just the player the Demons need, out of contract at the perfect time. Yet our club sits around doing nothing while an already strong Freo looks to get even stronger. We could offer way more money then Fremantle.

What the hell is going on down at the MFC?

    How do you know we havent offered anything?

    You do realise that although Freo put in the official offer to the AFL it doesn't mean that we didn't make a play for him. What the lodgement by Freo means is that they probably have the best offer on the table, or Pearce just prefers them as a destination. It is unlikely that a formal proposal would be put forward without the players approval.

    How about thinking things through before blindly having a go at the club.

    I move that the thread be closed on the basis that the if the O/P is not a member of the staff responsible for managing the list of the MFC then it has no basis in fact.

    If the writer of the O/P can provide evidence which supports his statement or can provide evidence of actually being an MFC member of staff then I may be prepared to accept his statement.

    Freo have put an offer on the table. Has Pearce accepted it? The FA gets to declare the club he wants to go to, it's not just up to who puts up the biggest bid.

    Spot on pm24 this trading period is 18 days I don't think it serve much good getting worked up 3 hours into the first day.

    Lets see what has happened at the end of the next 18 days.

    If there is a type of player we really don't need it's a front runner.

    We do not need Pearce, would be a handy pick up for an evolved team, but not for ours.

    If this system is going to work in a similar way to the NBA then a formal offer isn't sent into the league for approval unless the player has approved it. It in no way suggests that other teams haven't tried to recruit that player.

    It would just be a circus if every team that had an offer for a player had to officially submit that offer to the AFL in order for the player to accept it. In that case we would have multiple clubs officially submitting offers, but which offer would the team who currently has that player have to match. It's nonsensical. I firmly believe that no formal offer would be submitted unless the player/player agents have signed off on it.

    Therefore, we never know who formally made an offer to the player because we only hear the final transaction.

    Look at the following article on afl.com http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/148928/default.aspx

    It seems to support what i'm saying in respect to the offer process. There appears no capacity for another team to lodge an offer with the AFL once one team has lodged it's papers. Therefore this suggests that it is the offer that Pearce/Pearce's management has deemed the best.

    I've been hearing all morning on SEN that Lynch has signed a 2 year deal with Melbourne and will be announced later today but there is nothing on the web about it.

    God I hope It true, Lynch would be great for our club. :lol::)

    But how could that possibly be true???? I thought we were sitting on our hands and not putting any effort into getting players to the club, just like the OP said.

    Lynch > Pearce

    Danyle Pearce can run, that's about it. He is an average player in a very average side.

    Lynch on the other hand is a decent key forward in a top side. Offers finals experience and a winning attitude. Apparently has good leadership qualities too. Hardly a spud.

    yeah that's what everyone seems to think

    Unless the club say that they have not offered him something then i don't think you can say that!

    Just the player needed? Are you serious?

    There's already more than enough inconsistency and erratic on the list.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
