Okay.

Bad idea.

I still think, in theory, that we shouldn't overlook the opportunity to add some further experience to our side. We still have some kids who will need time and getting a 'rental', like Daniel Cross, for a few years isn't necessarily a bad idea. It just has to be the right player.

Steve Johnson isn't it. We need guys who will come in, provide good leadership skills and be an excellent role model for the kids. Johnson can get away with slotting in to a Top 8 side without much trouble, but he wouldn't be good for us.

Someone like Jed Adcock has the potential to provide what Cross did for us, and is an example of the type of experience we should be looking at getting.

Does "good footy brain" mean his head is full of air?

Has lost his pace and is starting to succumb to injury.

But most of all, absolute culture killer. Massive no from me.

Yes why would we want an extroverted winner in amongst our introverted losers, would definitely kill the culture. By the way Freo Fyffe has been reported 3 times this year better get rid of him

Yeah why would we want someone who has been banned by his own club for his behaviour amongst our weak culture and kids hey?

And you're really comparing Fyfe to Stevie J, and Freo's culture to ours? Get out of the shallow end of the pool mate...

know for a fact that he isn't popular amongst playing group and never has been really. Prefers to hang out with older crew like Brownless etc. Players love him as a player, but as a person, he is a [censored] of the most supreme order.

10 years ago ffs. You're probably one of those who bangs on about MFC only having nice boys on the list. By the way if Hodge or Sewell became available better avoid them, too rough for our club. A team full of choir boys will get you no where. Get out of you own poll.

Declining fast ... does anyone actually watch the footy? Stevie J was one of Geelongs best and would be a perfect mentor to others. His bad boy days are so far in the past. Why are the cats dumping him? to allow salary cap room for Dangerfield & Svitt Selwood.

Stevie J would be better than most our stragglers. Perfect 3 year half forward goalkicker. We need mids but also need GOALKICKERS

There's a big difference between being tough and being a d#*khead.

You should know...

After today I think we can be fairly selective about the 'experienced' players we get in (if any).

By which I mean NO...

Second that. Ditto Luke Hodge when the Hawks decide his indiscretions would be unpardonable were they to find out he voted Labour. In the end, we don't want thugs and snipers and selfish duckheads. Yes, I know there are there among you who want a team of Grinters . I'd prefer a team of Flowers, Schwarzes and Vineys. And Wights and Styne's and Alves and Wells and Lovetts.

Thank you very much.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
