Stories of Roos contacting Dangerfield's parents are really interesting because it rings true. If he has sold the entire Dangerfield family the 'Melbourne dream' then it will be the greatest recruting coup since well forever. Barassi to Carlton, Judd to Carlton, Franklin to Sydney; all were considered power clubs even if Carlton were struggling a little ladder-wise. Maybe Lockett to Sydney was the last time a fully fledged star moved to a bottom team with little appeal. Dare to dream . . . .

    Really as a demons fan i meet hope every off season. Last off season hope was banging on about one of the leagues strongest forward lines. I can tell you hope is not once failed to let me down.

    i would have thought it would be Paul Roos to coach MFC?

    Fair call, hope did deliver us Paul. But I still don't really believe he is our coach

    My girlfriend is an Adelaide supporter. Has number 32 on her jumper. Relationship may not be able to survive Paddy coming to Melbourne...

    I'm willing to risk it.

    Vince, Goodwin, talk of Lyons and Dangerfield and maybe even Tex. We can take your girlfriend too!

    Why not offer him the captaincy as well or co-captain with jonesy.

    Grimesy thought he was pretty shite himself.

    Exactly the point I'm trying to make 'Machsy'.

    I'm not sure how old you are but I've seen this all before at Melbourne and it's why I'm gun-shy with Patty. I know we've got some good people in charge but we did then when Barassi got Templeton & Moore.

    I see what you're saying, but I don't think Roos' philosophy is to bring in a gun or 2, and that's it.

    I think his recruiting is more targetted & that he is more intent on building a winning culture.

    That's the difference as I see it.

    Danger also offers us something our midfield doesn't currently have in any shape or form.

    Explosiveness.

    While I hope that these rumours are true, it feels a lot like the infamous Chris Judd and his grandmother episode.

    I won't get my hopes up too high yet but jeez it would be great to have a bona fide star in the side.

    Yep, would be great if Monday next week Danger comes out as states he wants to be traded to Melbourne. Once this happens the trade will be done, we have the picks that can satisfy Adelaide.

    One thing you can take from Roos and Sydney, that once the player agrees to come the deal gets done quickly. Look at last year, the Tyson and Vince deal, as soon as they agreed to play for Melbourne the deals were done no stuffing around and the only club to lose out was Fremantle.

    If he comes to Melbourne, 'Danger' will officially be my middle name.

    I'll change it by Dee-pol

    Yeah well part of the info I already had was that

    A) Best mate Rivers was already there

    and now

    B) Girlfriend is a Geelong girl with family affinity with Geelong and so another part of that puzzle was revealed today ( Although I already knew that from an informed sauce and it formed part of my reasoning) the main part however is still to be played out and when it does it will be as I have said. I will say though that unless a "Ship in the knight" takes the wind away I remain 99% convinced that Geelong will be his destination

    So I iterated that the Geelong deal was his probable ( and still is ) his destination based on some knowledge I acquired. If you read my post carefully I also alluded to the outside possibility that a SHIP IN THE KNIGHT" Cryptically enabled meaning Freo were circling.

    So on both counts I am "On the money"

    So Dazzleman why don't we broker a deal??

    If Frawley goes to Geelong or Freo you give yourself a I month ban from the land! on the basis that I am correct!

    If I am wrong I will do likewise!

    I reckon the amount of people that take you on the bet is the amount of months you ban yourself when you lose Picket.

    Yep but who will be in charge of "Quality Control" eh?

    Pretty easy to just open another account under another avatar , which I am sure quite a few on here actually do!

    Interesting but probably rubbish post on BF forums:

    "The Demons have been approved for an AFL "Ambassador" payment to a big name like Dangerfield or Pendlebury etc. to eb paid outside the cap, similar to what buddy was going to get at GWS or Judd at Carlton. This is why they haven't been granted the priority pick, they are practically guaranteed to get an elite midfielder this year and can effectively double the offer of any other club."

    Could this possibly be some kind of NT ambassadorship to support the expansion of the game with our push into NT? In a way it all makes sense, especially PJs supposed request for financial rather than draft assistance. Lots of speculation though so who knows.

  • Quote

    Much prefer to have Danger in receipt of our 'Ambassador' payment over, say, Tom Scully.

    In fact, Sheedy has got off lightly on the Tom Scully piece. Very lightly.

    Lucky GWS had dozens of other first round picks. Hard to stuff them all up.

    As they say, if you fire enough arrows ...

    I'd feel like a hypocrite for being so critical of the Sydney COLA to be honest. Surely Melbourne have enough room in the salary cap already?

  • Quote

    On what grounds would the AFL grant us an ambassadorship? As I understood it (although we all know they make it up as they go) you only get them for signing marquee players to assist the expansion of the game into non-heartland markets.

    Ergo, NT...

    Pretty sure Judd was on a 3rd party deal with Visy not an AFL ambassador role. I fail to see how any Vic clubs would get support for this typeof salary cap assistance.

    We have plenty of room in the salary cap but I doubt we actually have the ability to pay it.

    Clubs did have a marketing fund outside the cap and I believe they still do but the AFL needs to sign off on this being given out.

    • 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.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. 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 Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. 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?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
