We must never Tip Toe around the big clubs. Do that and we die. We fight for the players we need.

Most star players don't leave solely for cash. Success or a shot at it will come into equation. If we were to win 10-12 games this year & the kids loooked good we'd have a case to make to DT.

Yes we can afford him. We can afford anyone if we want. We are lucky in a way because if we want a player all we need to do is drop some dead wood out of the cap to fit Thomas in. We don't have all au

And from what I keep reading from the journo's he wants Swan at the same club too. So they can play out their careers together.

Don't know how much of this is true. But if any club has the room for both their positions and salaries, it's definitely us.

Work your magic MFC. It's time for a new era of aggression :)

From the comments made by Daisy on AFL GaneDay, Daisy may be looking for another club. Two specific comments that intrigued me.

- Daisy "My signature will go on a piece of paper at some point", the he was asked with which club, to which Daisy replied "Thats the question"...

- Darcy asked the question "1.5m for 4 years at GWS ", Daisy replied, "sounds profitable". Surely MFC can offer $375k a year or more for Daisy. Daisy also said it sounds good and quickly brushed off the question.

Read what you will from it, but the MFC should be looking at acquiring Daisy, with Flash maybe playing his last season with MFC & even Sylvia as a RFA, things may open up.... If both player do leave MFC should really go after both Daisy & the Frenchman... Then again, they would have known about the OOC quite a while back.

I think the '1.5m for 4 years at GWS' = $1.5m per year not $1.5m total.

I suspect that you are on the money there! There is no way that we would collect him for $375K per annum.

Collingwood can't keep all these players without doing something dodgy IMO.

They would've freed up a bit of their cap by getting rid of Dawes and Wellingham.

But not enough of it to leave room for Thomas - who will command some serious coin.

Although, he has been injured and if he doesn't have a good year this year, Collingwood might play hard ball.

Then he could be open to a big offer.


I really don't think Daisy leave Vic as he is a Drouin lad and seems to get back here a fair bit.

But, realistically, big time players in the big, successful clubs are going to be hard for us to entice.

And think of the blockbuster impact of the old enemies playing with some new incentive to build up the spirit

Who knows we could pack out the G with [censored] off pies supporters

Couldn't agree more with MD.

Get the old Collingwood boys to start getting in his head and then have the club hit him with an offer he can't refuse along with leadership role etc etc.

That way he can pass on all that he has learn't at Collingwood to Viney, Toumpas and Jones. They have the speed and skills, just no leadership.

Not knocking anyone involved in the midfield at Melbourne, but better clubs absolutely crap all over us.

"Better" clubs?

The entire league smothers Melbourne's midfield. We are below GC, and maybe even below GWS some days.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
