Not an A grader (at the moment) but, fmd, I'll take any midfielder at the moment!

Will be an A grader.

Averaging 21 touches in his 2nd season, and would comfortably be our 2nd besat midfielder behind N Jones.

Huge chance here for the Dees to land a great young midfielder and a legitimate ball magnet

    Yep throw an offer too good to refuse! Tough hard at it midfielder that would add alot to our side. Put watts for a trade option aswell.

    He can play, gets the footy and his disposal's good.

    Make him an offer he can't refuse.

    If he refuses it, somebody else overpays.

    But what if Melbourne is the one overpaying? :P Wouldn't "an offer he can't refuse" technically be more than what others offer?

    Definitely one we should try hard to get, as well as Anthony Miles he never gets any game time and is pretty decent ball winner. After watching the Swans dismantle the Crows today I would love for us to go for one of their fringe players such as Bird just to bring that culture that they have. Just an incredible side who are so tough that is exactly what I want the Dees to be one day.

    Luke Parker?

    Hardly a fringe player.

    Wishful thinking. Cousins son.

    Question is "why" come to Melbourne apart from Money or for fringe players to "get a game".

    Targets as at 8 June:

    - Dylan Shiel (GWS) 3years $$$

    - Taylor Adams (GWS) 3years $$$

    Fringe:

    - Maverick Weller (Suns)

    - Liam Anthony (Kangas)

    - Mitch Hallahan (Hawks)

    - Jarryd Lyons (Crows)

    - Aiden Riley (Crows)

    - Matthew Jaensch (Crows)

    In a heart beat.

    We should be offering lots of coin on a front ended contract. I don't care if we pay overs the kid can play and would be in our starting mids.

    Given he can walk, I'd encourage that (ie psd), but id also be willing to offer trade bait to secure him. It may help get GWS to push him towards us rather than other suitors.

    Exactly. If nothing else, we can use our salary cap space to put artificial pressure on other club's salary cap space. ;) Eventually, we'll shake a few from the tree.

    And yes, if we can grab some quality midfielders, please... please! Do it, any chance we get.

    Question first is would he want to come to us.

    For an extra 10k I doubt it but for 100k or more, more than hee would get elsewhere he would have to think strongly about it.

    Personally I'd rather us land a player like Adams who will impact next year and still have a 10 year career than a draftee we need to develop who won't help us improve next year.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
