I was just watching one of those draft combine clips and they mentioned that clubs now had an international list which they can have up to 6 international players listed on this.

Does anyone know if we are keen on kick starting this list?

    I think you can use one of your rookie spots on an international without drafting them.

    Doubt we'd get involved though. I'd love it, but I suspect their view would be that they have to get the natives right before embarking on any special projects.

    The Hawks have also taken a promising yound Dubliner :

    - I would like to see the Demons trying the young Irishmen, rather than the Hawks/Blues/Pies/Saints/Lions/Swans. Young Irish lads would love to come to the team that Jim Stynes was part of.

    I would be happy to see Melbourne try potential players from other codes and countries too.

    Any chance we could smuggle an Ivan Drago-style Russian boxer onto the rookie list?

    I thing it would be great PR for melbourne to get a couple of internationals on their list, it would help generate a lot more interest in our club overseas as no doubt a few canadians now know one of their own played in our grandfinal and performed well, it does not hurt that these guys are pretty good athletes as well.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      ï»żA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
