I'm still very much a Dangerfield sceptic but I read the thread now with a slight rise of the left eyebrow.

    I've seen the "load up to the eyeballs in top 10 draft picks" before too, which is why I'm gun-shy on passing up a proven performer whose best years are still ahead of him, for draft picks.

    All I'm saying 'Nasher' is it's not that simple. Get 'Danger', pay overs and all will be good.

    I'm really looking forward to the complete package Roos and the crew have in mind. Interesting times ahead I reckon, I also reckon we don't know the half of it yet.

    Enough !!!!

    I will no longer post on this thread due to potentiality of people at the end of it needing psychological help to cope with the trauma!

    NEXT!

    We are all Melbourne supporters. We all need psychological help.

    I'm not in the 'all will be good' game if we simply get Danger, but if the planets aligned and we somehow got him to Melbourne then he would go along way to making us better.

    Interesting times ahead indeed.

    And truthfully, I hope we don't sell the farm as well, but I think the crucial point for me it's the team that holds the draft picks that takes the risk.

    I really hope that if we must offer both our early picks, we get one of their early picks back somehow.

    Whilst I don't think it will happen (although I have little butterflies every time I refresh this bloody page :P )

    It's a nice distraction from work and the shite players we mostly have.

    Anyway, 97%-99%?

    Would that be an average of 98%? IWUAEHIIUE

    I don't think anyone's saying that if we get Dangerfield, it'll be all good, rjay. But there's no doubt he would improve our team and I wouldn't be surprised if his signing inadvertently encouraged others to join.

    After the results of our Dom Tyson deal last year, I can't even understand how any MFC supporter wouldn't back Roos in to continue trading our top draft picks for established players. It's a complete no-brainer. We have seen high draft pick after draft pick fail miserably and end up on the scrap heap, because we had no seniority in our list to develop them.

    We've got a 3 or 4 year drafting black hole inside our list now, and this year's delisting of Strauss, Blease and Tapscott round off that sensational period of failure. Bring in players from other clubs from the same years who actually eventuated into AFL-grade players and we might find ourselves in the position we belong.

    Hawthorn and Sydney did not get to the top of the ladder with picks inside the top 5. They got there by poaching the talent from other clubs, and brilliantly developing their later picks by introducing them to an environment of talent and experience. Roos is trying to do the same thing here, but he needs a few more years to get the system on a roll.

    22 Petraccas will not save the MFC.

    I've evolved over the years in regards to forum rumours.

    Early days: gullible, believe any rumour I heard, get excited, feel bitterly disappointed when they didn't go through

    Middle days: refuse to believe anything, get annoyed every time someone posts hearsay

    Recent days: Believe the rumours I like the sound of but understand they could be crap, keep emotions completely divorced until things start to pan out. Enjoy the ride, never feel disappointed, but feel ecstatic when things actually come to fruition.

    Has Goodwin actually started with the MFC yet?

    For instance, would he be one of the Demons' 'officials' Patty would be talking to - in an official capacity, that is?

    Yes, can confirm Goodwin started with the Club on Monday.

    The best teams have great midfields.

    Deep, strong, multi-faceted midfields, invariably with a dynamic star or two.

    They can make decent forward lines look good by controlling the ball, and they can allow average defenders to make a great backline by keeping the ball out of there.

    I know Dangerfield is a dynamic star in Adelaide's midfield right now.

    I don't know what Pick 2 and Pick 3 will be in 4 years time, when Jones is 30...

    well there are 3 or 4 posters telling us the news is promising and none of them have any history of BS on the forum

    Pick 3 and toumpas for Dangerfield

    Apparently the crows expressed an interest in Tom McDonald or Jack vineyard and got told where to go

    We don't even have pick 3 to give FFS.

    as has been mentioned about a million times, there is reason to believe the club knows already that we WILL have it

    Yeah, this whole situation gets really ugly if Frawley doesn't GTFO on day one of free agency. If he drags his heels until the week after, it means we have NFI what compensation we get, which holds up any trades and gives other clubs a chance to swoop on our targets.

    I'm sure the club has it covered

    Yeah but we don't have it to give.

    It's just a 'get ready to be kicked in the crotch' safety mechanism I'm testing.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
