There seems to be a growing consensus that Howe is a one trick pony and limited in what he can offer. I don't agree. He's been in the system for only three years, usually has great skills, is young,

Hogan is the only player on the list i wouldn't trade under any circumstances, so my comments on Howe are made from that perspective. Some say he lacks defensive pressure, I agree, and it's because h

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.

Hardly a fringe player.

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.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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
