Will go out on a limb here with what has been said and what I have heard as late as this morning.

Dangerfield to Dees for pick 2 + Toumpas plus exchange of later picks

Shiel to Dees for pick 3 + possible player or exchange of later picks

And thats all folks!

Sounds excellent to me.

The question is though, are you still drunk?

I was at the Sept Club too in the SEN tent...saw Danger who was well and truly past talking at that stage. Don't blame him either. Wouldn't be in the

Oh, saw a lot of love between Molloy and Tex Walker. I have a sore neck from looking up at Nic Nat. Mathew Richardson, nice bloke, was tired of doing selfies. Used the gents beside Heppell - didn't think it was the right time to mention supplements though.

How good was Nic Nat on the decks

I reckon that is the understatement of the week cf.

Agree why on earth would the MFC look attractive ?

OD in all seriousness Id agree with you about the OLD Melbourne , but the NEW MFC is a different beast.

Going along same vein as why I dont rate Chip, because he wants ready made , many a really good player might like to be part of a new fabric and add to it. Cull half a dozen deadwood and in place insert 6 decent players and its a very different team.

This would be exactly what Roos will tell any prospectives. Melbourne can be every bit as good as you ( player ) can help make it

Well I didn't see the segment. If it was Barrett, as much as we all hate him, he does seem to have reasonable sources from this club (first to break Hogan's injury, and Clark's comeback) so wouldn't surprise me if we are going to do it. I hope its true.

I hope it's a stout tree Demoneyes, and not some bloody sapling straight out of a glass house.

huge win for the dees just can't see it to be honest. Think we will trade and Draft well again no huge names but some good talent in the door think the Goodwin deal was perfect timing

Back on topic. Re Cameron, Roos has called for mids mids and more mids. Given that we just saw Hawthorn smash a team with forward line containing Franklin, Tippet, Reid and Goodes (handy 4th forward), it reinforces the view that building an A Grade midfield first makes more sense.

I suppose you're right . Kick the bloody thing in there often enough and surely someone will kick the goals.

Cameron or Reid would be handy to support Dawes and young Hogan however.

I think Sydey and Hawthorn went about it differently, and the Hawks' game plan was easily more effective. Clarkson has basically turned his midfield into goalkickers, they have an amazing spread of players who go forward and kick goals.

Sydney, conversely, have pulled in as many key forward talls as they can and expect the midfielders to deliver them. The Bondi Billionaires are expected to do the rest.

I prefer the former, and clearly the grand final indicates which is more successful.

Thought Sydney looked top heavy yesterday.

Tippet Reid etc no good at ground level.

Lake and Gibson do a great job on superstars.

Hawthorn aren't exactly struggling for forward targets. Roughy and Gunston are better than anything we currently have.

We need key forwards.

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
