I think we offer him a three year deal and offer up more money than the pies IF we make the eight next year ( or go close to it) and offer him the captaincy

And then when Ollie Wines is out of contract offer him more than Port have put to the table, giving him the chance to come home and more money

Plus Pendles barracked for the dees so maybe that counts for something, no one jump down my throat for saying that either, I just said maybe

Why don't we try getting someone a little more realistic.. Bryce Gibbs.. Out of contract free agent.

I remember watching his father play, Ross Gibbs (3) WPFC, I must be getting old!

Where did you hear this rumour from??

I've been ratting my brain trying to remember, because it was literally like 2 days after the AFL draft combine last year.

It was more than likely total bulldust, but I guess we'll soon find out come end of next year.

Ollie has been said to be pretty loyal and would like to repay Power for their faith. He wants to make his own history rather then follow Viney around.

Doubt that has changed.

Even if all our young mids come through in the next couple of years,we still won't have anyone with the class of Scott Pendlebury.

I think we should offer him a $9 million / 7 year deal with the Captaincy as a sweetener.

We need a Marquee player at the Dees and just his coaching of our young mids would be priceless.

C'mon Melbourne,pull of a ruthless deal for once!

Asked his manager on draft day "what do I do now?" after being drafted, in reference to playing in Victoria. Manager told him in 2 years he can go wherever he wants..

Not signing a contract extension for a reported 400k definitely makes you wonder what he's thinking??.. I hope he comes to the Demons, but I think he is to loyal and will stay with port.

Very respectable young man...

I'm not sure about the length, but I think whatever is left after we match Frawley's FA offer and secure Hogan should be used to lure someone really good, be it Pendlebury or another top-line mid. We should have plenty of cash available for these goals given the current state of our list.

Come on Melbourne!

Lets do something stupid and ruthless!

Lets mortgage our future as a club with one idiotic deal!

Come on!

Are you serious?

We're mortgaging our future by paying $1M+ a year for spuds like Jordie,Tappy,Bail and Jetta and getting no return year after year!!! Get rid of those 4 hacks and lure a superstar mid for the same $$$

You'd be the first to Wee your pants if we got Pendlebury

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
