Fyfe just stated he turned down a 7 year 8 million dollar offer, I wonder who that was, probably gws

You could possibly also post this on the James Frawley thread.

Serves to show that the list of priorities differs from player to player.

He's a solid citizen ole Nate Fyfe. Freo are lucky to have him.

    the thing is our existing midfield taking out the west coast game is ranked 4th, in a side with the second worst midfield, hogan will improve the forward line the moment he gets out there, but if we improve our midfield our defence will be under far less pressure and i have no doubt will quickly get close to being the best in the comp, even as soon as next year, if we add, Trengove, Petracca and Sheil it will be a good step forward for our mids, perhaps there is a good young key defender we could land with our second rounder, or maybe we could get another top 10 pick through trading and gain young lever

    Ranked 4th in what though? We're 18th in the competition for clearances. Mind you, Geelong are 17th and GWS are 1st, so it doesn't mean the world.

    I think I'd prefer two top mids this year, than one mid and a KPP. As you note, Mike, with a better midfield, the defence will be under less pressure. I'm not sure why a number of Demonlanders think we need another KPD. If Frawley is deemed expendable by so many, why do we need another KPD? Anyway, I think we have more pressing needs and I'd be going a KPF the year after, before I'd go KPD again.

    Yeah, but he's playing in a finals bound side and is a WA-born lad.

    I would say Schwartz was a Champion.

    no argument here

    But the question was who was the last champion the club had, and neitz was around later than the ox

    Is he? Are they?

    Would you have said the same thing last week before Fyfe signed?

    I don't see how Frawley waiting a little bit longer than Fyfe means one is a solid citizen whilst the other is a turncoat.

    If Frawley announces on Monday that he has decided to stay and has signed a contract, then what?

    Stick to the draft. Get the 2 beasts of the draft Bradshaw and petracca(if chip goes) as someone said earlier if we start winning it in the midfield more often less pressure on the backs and more ball to hogan

    I'd like 2 inside mids, 2 outside runners and a good young ruckman incase Gawn doesn't come on

    This post has Machsy written all over it.

    What the matter? Not fond of rhetoric?

    Don't like thinking a little beyond the standard HS-driven agenda?

    I'm still waiting to see a contribution from you worth reading.

    Was very impressive today, works really hard and has put on a lot of size, worth a punt but the risk is great with his knee history so you wouldn't want to give up much to get him

    Our third rounder?

    Yep if we got him for that. He is out of contract and hasn't played AFL for 3 years, 4 recons not a lot of bargaining Freo can do

    I'm not sure I'd pay that much... He's a talent and i wouldn't mind him on our list, he'd be a good get at the right price... but with him not playing for years and his knee problems.... I would only consider trading a fourth or fifth rounder... I suppose it depends on whether theres a bidding war not...

    Yeah, Dom Tyson sucks.

    We shoulda had Kelly.

    Your obnoxious posts continue to surprise me.

    Tyson was injured for more of last year. O'Rourke has not been injured and when he has gotten to senior level, he has been poor. Please do not comment or tag most posts, thanks.

    I wouldn't bother reasoning with that idiot, he clearly has no life and enjoys getting a kick out of being a troll.

    Agree, got good skills and pace. He just might be what we are hoping Toumpas can be. Can always do with more pace and skill.

    His knees must be a big concern.

    It would be a risky trade, but one that could pay big dividends. But at what price?

    Our third rounder?

    Freo would probably knock that back, but i wouldn't give up anything better.

    our third rounder will be fairly close to their second rounder, and our second rounder close to their first.

    if we luck out and have to use a third round on stretch, then our pick in the late teens / early 20s might get us morabito.

    massive risk, but he has the ability.

    • 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.
