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.

Isn't that why we're building a "War chest".....

i would sure hope so.

Tomorrows meeting will be crucial for future planning of any successful template.

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

Thomas is a premiership player, he is consistent and proven, any midfield would undoubtedly be better for having him in it.

It will take a lot of coin for him to leave Collingwood and even more to get him here but with the current midfield situation, it'd be money well spent.

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
