"Stiffy" is out of contract at years end. Doesn't seem to have a spot at the crows. Probably got 2 serviceable years left, great skills (can take kick outs). Obviously isn't going to thrust us into the top 4, but could play a role. What's everyone's thoughts?

On a side note, Daniel Cross seems to be another our of favour at the dogs, could add some midfield depth and is also a hard worker with leadership qualities.

Discuss.

It's getting to the stage for me that I would take anyone we can get. Both would definitely fill holes for a couple of years and teach the kids a thing or two.

Just a question (and in no way having a go), why do many posters on forums end an OP with 'Discuss'?
Being a discussion forum I would assume that is implied. Sorry to point it out but it is just one of those little things that for whatever reason grinds my gears :)

Don't think so, he should have retired at least a year ago. If we're going to chase out of contract players there's quite a few others I'd go after first.

As long as they don't do a Rodan and recruit him but not bother playing him.

Has to earn a game first. I think Johncock could be a decent pick up, in better form than Rodan was anyway.

Johncock's been fat for years. No thanks.

Cross would interest me because he's of such high quality off the field. However I'm not sure he's be of much use at all on the field

No thats, I'd prefer that we give Davey another year than recruit some other clubs retirees for a year or two.

Besides, i'd prefer we keep the changes to the list limited to the top end draft picks we will have, and some high quality players via FA/Trade

Sorry I'm getting bitter...

I couldn't stand another year of the media scum critising "scattergun" trades. I think we already have enough had beens, or never will be's on our list....

We should focus our energies on getting mid 20's players who can play now and for the next 5-6 yrs to create stability and confidence in the list.

Simon Black and Brent Harvey are the only veterans I'd consider at the end of this year.

Black has aspirations to coach and we need someone to teach Toumpas, Viney etc how to play. Could play a real role as an 'on-field' midfield coach for 1 year, followed by 2 years as Midfield Coach.

Prefer that I took a passive aggressive approach and force fed my thoughts, good sir? Haha

With the negativity surrounding several players long term place at our club, the footy department will need a plan b, or a "worst case scenario" if you like. I think cross has plenty to offer. I think stiffy could be a good stop gap, but as others have said, injuries and being burnt by rodan's impact probably put us off of that idea.

Richard Douglas is what we need from the crows..... He just keeps getting better....

totally agree, and grabbing him would ease the pain of losing Scott Thompson.. Maybe?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
