I once predicted the fall of the Roman Empire. Seriously, I have no information other than what my snout gave me. That's all.

You might be on to something considering what Damian Barrett just wrote about us in his Sliding Doors column.

 

Dland : "So Paul....goss going around suggests the Dees will surprise all by landing a big fish this trade"

:roos: " Well, ,we're looking to be active during the period and you know you can never tell often until at such time as you might find a deal comes across the desk but we'll just wait and we're certainly looking into being amongst it" :roos:

To be clear I have zero information. But hers my guess for the big fish.

Kennedy from the swans

Kennedy from the swans

Is he a free agent? Hes a great player but its not wise giving up pick 6 for a bloke who will be 28 before next season ends

Just speculating pick 6 is what the Swans would demand for him

just a question though

Swans are haemorrhaging experience at the moment. Would they let Kennedy go now ? Would seem odd...to me

not a free agent

Does it matter these days if a player is a free agent or indeed off contract?

Damn you!

You've now forced me to actually go and read some of his trash journalism.

I feeling a little violated.

Ed; so other don't have to:

Melbourne

(If) there's a team we feel is keeping its cards close to its chest as trade period looms ... ... (Then) it is this one. Predicting a massive play from left-field.

And since this year was his second year he had second year blues so next year I'm expecting him to kick 107 goals whilst claiming the Coleman, wins the Brownlow, norm smith and kick a lazy 9 in the GF.

Apparently Hogan and Club in preliminary discussions about a long term contract.

Gist of which suggests..." you want to stay....money isn't an issue "

Bodes well :)

Good work dees get in early. We should to get him locked away for the next 7-8 years soon.

He is the game changer. Pay him whatever.

I got dragged off to the Grand Final parade by my Hawk supporting in laws today. I decided to wear my MFC cap and shirt in defiance and it paid off. Jesse Hogan was in the back of one of the first few cars as the Rising Star and stopped briefly next to me frantically waving and although he was talking to a child next to him in the car, he did a double take when he noticed the colours and gave me a wink and a thumbs up! The next car was a let down with only Clarko and Hodge on board and I lost interest from there.

well done earl. you could have given that ex-dee clarko a wave though (without it looking like one for hodge)

but according to danny boy you were supposed to be at home enjoying quality relaxing time with family

i suppose in-laws roughly count as family though


I hear we should have an answer soon on Jesse's long term contract. Fingers crossed.

Whats it leaning towards?

A few of the MFC boys should be around the G tomorrow. At least Hoges, Viney and Gussy.

Reckon Hoges would be a riot after sinking froths at the bar for a few hours.

chuck me a PM too AF, if you can be bothered. All in the spirit of silly season

 

I hope he's accepted 7 years at 300k because he wants to save salary cap room for guns to kick it down his throat.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
