The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Darren Jolly to be announced on a 4 year deal at Melbourne... Not sure how many if any are purely coaching..

My own little addition to this is he will have the 4 year coaching role but within that each year his playing contract will be 1 year basis...

could maybe churn out 1 or 2 years at best!

Isn't this a topic for passing on rumours... not creating them?

4 year deal is just crazy,

2 year deal, one as a player one as a coach and see how he goes, can always re-sign, can't be breaking contracts if he turns out to be a dud.

From a reasonably reputable facebook trade rumours page:

"BREAKING:

Richmond's Dustin Martin and his management have advised the football club that their desire is to pursue offers from rival clubs."

I know Dustin Martin is quite talented but would we really want to throw everything at him? His attitude seems to stink and the fact he is leaving a club that is on the up and could well be top 4 next season for money shows how much he cares about being a team man. My opinion anyway.

Might not be leaving for money. He may be unhappy for other reasons such as how he's been managed.

He's clearly a player with talent but high risk. The question to ask is whether that risk is worth it.

From everything I've heard the Tigers have been very understanding and tried to help him. We need midfieldtalent bad but I really hope we don't touch him.

Free agency....Awesome for some teams...... and devastatingly destructive for others...Big big loss for Tigers & very unfortunate for them. He may be a bit wild but boy can he play.

Just when the tigers come good there potentially best player leaves them...

He's not a free agent.

I believe Paul Roos is currently in WA talking with Fremantle's Viv Michie. Victorian boy who has had a few injuries and can't break into their midfield (Barlow, Mundy and Fyfe). Would be a great get if true.

I knew he flew over to talk Hogan into an extended deal last week was it? will be pretty happy if we can talk michie around even though i heard a rumour/truth that he did another injury late in the WAFL season?

Is it true he is undergoing a knee reconstruction?

I believe he just won Peel thunders BnF playing only 15 games?

Sorry mate I remember seeing this blokes name pop up a while ago but can't quite recall why? It also appears he has only played 1 game in the AFL and was below average with 13 disposals (unless if he was the sub).

I saw a nice clip on youtube regarding a game of his in the WAFL, just curious how's he gone all year? and curious why Roos would consider him a target?

Cheers :)

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
