"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?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
