Turns 30 during the season next year. I'm sure he'll want to dash all hopes of winning a premiership (or even making the finals again) in his career

The right coin might change his mind :).

Disagree. We need senior players to come in and make an instant impact and blood in our youth.

Look at what Chapman did to Essendon. Cross for us. Mumford for GWS. And so forth..

My mail is Mundy and Frawley will both be at Hawthorn next year as they're trying to extend their premiership window, that's coming from a well informed 25 year member

Free agency will stop what the draft was intended to do. Dumb move by the AFL?

all free agency is going to achieve in my opinion is keeping the strong clubs up the top for longer and the week clubs hoping they can develop their players well to get anywhere

Oh, well if they have been a member for 25 years, that obviously shows how trustworthy they are as a source...

WTF?

we need another 2-3 Dom Tysons.

Young (20 years old)- check

Immediate impact- check

Leading by example-check

Star potential- check

Where do you get them from though?

Not too many clubs getting around with surplus top 10 draft picks they'd be willing to trade...

Maybe us?

He looks very good. Confidence is through the roof. Will improve with time. Hopefully he doesn't get Melbourne'd.

i'm sure Roosy and the recruiting team will be working on something now, especially with what seems like the sad inevitability of Frawley leaving (don't blame him, he has given the club so much time) and Clark retiring freeing up a lot of cap space.

It shows that he would know, all he said to me when i spoke to him was they're chasing Frawley and Mundy very hard and are very confident they will get them

Don't give one [censored] if Frawley leave. Good on him he bloody deserves some success. He is tired. Just look at his lack of endeavour. Let's chase some 24-26 yr old players and delist about 12-14 of our current list and start fresh. Too many mental scars. the players are completely, mentally head [censored] from years of being humiliated

No he will not help us long term, Daniel Cross whilet older is a different type, not on the same coin as Mundy would command. Daisy Thomas is not what Carlton needed and we should learn the same, Mundy and Thomas are the icing on the cake when you are in the Premiership window.

Players who we need to look at are 22-26 years of age or similar to Tyson who have had 2 years in the system and not getting regular game time. Pretty sure Roos and his department will be having a good look at all other lists and VFL games targetting players as he did at Sydney such as

Kennedy, Mcglynn, Richards, Mattner, Mumford, Shaw and the like

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.

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
