Forget Martin, get in Conca's ear.

Still unsigned, Tiges will have little in their kitty after Martin, would be happy if we made Reece an offer that would lure him from Punt rd

Good player Conca but I think the hold up is about him wanting to go home. Maybe we would be a chance if we relocate to WA.

Am very confident he would sign, but Richmond are offering him a pittance compared to what he would be worth on the open market.

Money is the issue here, not home, and he isn't being greedy!

If that's the case then he is worth a crack. I rate Conca, hard at it and good basic skills with a lot of upside.

Hard to believe the Tiges would let him go.

Anyone out of contract is fair game, he is quality so offer him what he is worth, not sure what that would be exactly and see what he has to say, if he says no we're in the same position as we are now.

Tigers would hate to see him leave, but if they sign Martin, would only be able to afford to offer Conca half of what he is worth if my understanding of situation is right

Surprised it took this long for Conca's name to be floated. Hard at it. Reasonable skill level and would be a perfect fit for our midfield as he is 185cm tall and can take a good overhead mark. The only hesitance would be that he is susceptible to foot injuries..... 2012 broken toe, 2013 stress point (hot spot) of the foot.

I rate him, just another good solid player.

Why not just go for everybody!

High draft pick which matters little now.

But averaged just less than 20 touches over the last two seasons.

In the right age bracket.

Will continue improving and may get the chance to flourish in our midfield with more opportunities in comparison to the tiges.

And lets face it, we have to pay someone so it's a good chance to get him across

As I have said elsewhere we are into him! Offering I believe 1.8m for 4 years

Gee I'd love him on our list but that definitely seems too much. 450k a year is huge. We still need to have enough cap to target players such as Adams, Selwood and Swallow.

Would be only just over what his current market rate would be IMO. Over a 4 year contract, if he keeps steadily improving, reckon in two years we would be paying less than his market rate with that offer

Would love this kid

Just turned 21, and if you take out the elimination final where he got 0 touches as he was injured early , he averaged around 20 disposals per game and kicked 12 goals in 16 games

Really hope we can land him

Well you're strike rate is beyond appalling so I'm just going to throw this gossip in the pile of horse [censored] basket.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
