I ain't in the industry but I must say let's not go too far in the other direction! The club was burnt by the myopic focus on 'playing kids'. Now, let's not go too far the other way and pick up players 24 and beyond.

    It's a balancing act to be sure. But I agree with you ... Rodan goes a bit too far in the Bad News Bears direction.

    The Bad News Bears implies more than one...

    And that movie is about a bunch of hapless kids...

    That's our current predicament!

    Wonder who thought that jumper was a good idea

    Wonder what their clash strip would have looked like, had they been around back then.

    You mean that would clash with anything else!

    Actually it would clash with anything decent.

    David Rodan = great pick up if fit

    If not fit = bad decision

    But the way I see it if we can get him for pretty much nothing and on a one year term then it might be worth a shot.

    I must say everytime I saw him play for Port he was very evasive, got plenty of it and provided that polish that we have craved for for many years...

    No doubt we would run him thru a medical and have the knees tested...no one can question his endeavour.

    Picking up Rodan wouldn't make sense as a midfielder or as a small forward.

    We have Davey and now Byrnes who can play the small forward role and Rodan would only be taking away mid field time from Viney and perhaps Wines

    Based on what I have seen of Davey for the past 3 years I would have Rodan playing as a small forward

    Flash will be back and is a better player than Rodan

    I hope your right!

    Does anyone know how much Davey is being paid? I know we went pretty hard when reconstructing him the last time.

    The obvious question is who would we get better value out of?

    Rodan on a $200k package

    Davey on maybe $500k

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
