Robbie Tarrant bidding war begins. Has played less than 50 games and is rumoured to have had 500k offers from rival clubs.

I hope we are not one of the rival clubs....

    Second that.

    Perhaps one of the clubs is the Western Bulldogs, a replacement for that spud Boyd.

    Tarrant would have to be the shittest bloke in aus if he walked out on North after they kept faith in him all these years.

    Lame call but - Francis in the draft because he is a red nut.

    Would anyone want him if we were able to get him for a similar price to Garlett? I'm not sure i would

    Well as it turns out after all these years, the classic meltdown over us drafting Grimes instead of Rance has turned out to be bloody accurate!

    For pick 70 or whatever it was, yes I would take a chance, as nothing to lose. They will want the world for him, probably our first pick.

    My meltdown was over Gysberts instead of Daniel Talia and then Toumpas over Wines.

    Lol he still posts on here you know? Just under a different name obviously.

    His finest was saying Sylvia was the next Garry Ablett senior..

    I don't want Garlett and Vince.

    Exactly.

    It's going to be pretty funny when Yarran is running around playing really good football for a different club next year.

    Might just be for us.

    Fickle folk you lot.

    Yarran would be a great get for our forward line

    I seem to remember almost exactly the same things were said about Jeff Garlett before Roos got hold of him. He is now one of the best trades we have had in years, along with BernieVince. Can I suggest Yarran has a huge amount of talent, but rarely uses it.

    Can he be another Jeff Farmer, or another Sam Bleese? I'd be inclined to trust Roos on that.

    Just plonk him in a pocket you think Roost? I wonder when Eddie Betts's contract is up? That would rub some serious salt in.

    don't want anyone from the bombers.

    don't want john butcher.

    don't want charlie dixon (for the money he'll get).

    don't want henderson.

    don't want tarrant.

    ambivalent about yarran; would want it to be fairly 'cheap' trade.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
