    Since our aim this year is to rid ourselves of several ball butchers, I cringe at the idea of importing another one.

    Wonder how many arguments Damian Barrett lost in the school yard.

    Always looks so miserable.

    Rumour going around bigfooty that a big name port player is on the way out. Hamish Harlett maybe? They might get rid of him before he becomes a free agent next year.

    My locks for 2015

    ????????? Tom Mcdonald Lynden Dunn

    Nev Jetta ??????????? Christian Salem

    ????????? Jack Viney Bernie Vince

    Christian Petracca Jesse Hogan Angus Brayshaw

    Jeff Garlett ????????? Dean Kent

    Max Gawn Nathan Jones ???????

    Dom Tyson Harry Lumumba Billy Stretch Alex neil-bullen

    With the new interchange rules there will be a far greater reliance on endurance players than ever, the amount of explosive players that a team can carry will take a hit so guys like Kent may find themselves competing with someone like Garlett for a spot in the team

    Bail - I've got nothing because he basically does nothing.

    Mckenzie - He was always fighting an uphill battle with the whole red hair thing.

    Terlich - Gawn's beard is better.

    Matt Jones - I don't like having 2 people in the same team that share a last name unless they are related.

    Watts - Unfortunate but we owe him a fresh start somewhere else.

    Dawes - Unable to jump higher than 1 foot off the ground and I'm a bit dubious about that cut that appeared on his face during the season.

    Grimes - We have decided to make Jayden Hunt captain in 2016.

    Butcher would be dirt cheap, if not free. Big bodied, key position forward who regularly takes contested mark and is good in the lead. Yes, he kicks like a mule- but with all those other attributes, I think the kicking can be worked on; never to be perfected, but perhaps improved.

    IMHO.

    Disagree, has failed to cement his spot in a team that prides itself on quick ball movement and hitting leading forwards. Goes missing too often and for too long. Would rather punt on the draft and develop from within

    Received some mail that Kelly O'Donnell was having a close look at the dogs Michael Talia at the VFL on the weekend. KPD, Out of contract at years end, showed some promising signs during the course of the season but like many young talls is still learning the craft. Could be worth a late rounder

    Just on talking footy.

    They mentioned Todd Viney was having lunch with Scott Clayton from the GC and 'Breaking Bread' today.. whatever that means.

    Also Jeremy Howe was interviewed and expect a decision in a couple of days. He said things are looking positive but personally I think he is gone..

    Based on the numbers touted, our need to trade in quality mids and the call that we will field a team of competitors I think him being gone is positive.

    Roo's on AFL 360 now. Big dodge on Watts question, personal opinion is based on his demeanour and response Watts is gone.

    (I'm pretty much a human lie detector)

    Can you elaborate? What was the question and did Roos give the Ross Lyon googly eyes?

  • Quote

    They asked Roos about Howe.

    Said they still haven't heard from his management about their offer and instead are out in the field fielding other offers and seeing whats out there.

    Roosy sounded annoyed and frustrated.

    I think we will see Howe in different colours next year.

    Basically said he couldn't guarantee 'any' player will be there next year and it's all about improving our list. He's told the players talks about them moving on isn't to scare them it's to improve the list and win more than 7 games.

    Buckley then stepped in and said another clubs trash can be another clubs treasure.

    Slobbo asked Roos directly whether Watts would be at Melbourne next year & whether he would be traded. Roos basically didn't deny it but went around the question by saying that we need to improve the list & all players are traceable. He says this has always been his approach to list building from his time at Sydney to now.

    If I was Melbourne I'd pull the offer and tell him to go. No time for this sort of BS.

    Thanks mate. Sounds as though someone like Watts can be had... for the right price. Not surprising really.

    I suspect this is exactly what will happen. How many other clubs would Howe get a game at? He aint worth more than 290k

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
