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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
