Aussie - would we take him back - it's possible

he's fit - he's keen to play - he seems very happy within himself, and looking at the stats for his season up north - why not.

just thought I would throw it in as we seemed to have interesting thoughts on Buckley, here's another one.

 

Not much of an appetite for hard work Aussie.

Spent the whole time at Melbourne above his ideal playing weight. Came back from each of his end of season break in poor condition.

A talented player, who walked out on us. Would I take his lazy oversized butt back?

No.

Obviously another player the club failed to develop properly.

 

I loved Aussie as much as the next bloke, but all I hear is about his lack of work ethic...so no.

The bloke had more than enough chances and continually shat in the face of the very club trying to help him. NO.


How 'bout no Scott!

 

young fella had a hard time of it really. a bit more mature now, knows what it is all about. if he is fit, keen and willing to do what is required why not give him a chance as a rookie again?


Yes he's keen but good luck see how keen he is when pre season ramps up.

Big No would not flourish under our new serious training regime

I'm pretty sure he said in a recent interview he didn't want to come back.

He has left a big hole in the forward line as the small forward (pun intended).

Yeah I think it was an interview with Josh Mahoney a month or two ago, should be on the MFC site somewhere. Said something like that he didn't miss training, wasn't interested in playing, something like that.

He was in Melbourne at the time for some sort of mentoring/school thing.

Edit: Found the video.

Hell no! He was [censored] when he was fit. He played 2 good games ever! He'll be the worst player on any list if he is picked up.


I saw him play against the Brisbane Lions Reserves team in the NEAFL final a few weeks ago. He kicked two goals in two minutes late in the second term to bring the Thunder within a few goals at half time but did very little else for the rest of the game. Looked fitter than I expected but still some way off AFL standard. I don't think he wants it.

he's fit - he's keen to play

Stopped reading here.

He comes from the same school on fitness as Brendan Fevola and I.

He's had a tough time and AFL isn't for everyone. If he wants to make it back then I say he should return to the VFL/SANFL/WAFL and we keep an eye on him, but I don't think he does.

Now there's an idea. Fevola!!!!!!!!

Getting desperate now aren't we ?

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
