    HH obviously had Barrett like sources. Just make enough plausible deals up and surely at least one will be true!

    Judging by the different font I'm guessing he's copy and pasted it from somewhere, maybe the facebook trade rumours group.

    I'd much prefer Hrovat to Melksham FWIW.

    Well spotted, has a slightly grey background to it.

    I'd rather take a half eaten pack of Twisties than Milkman.

    Technically speaking we're all members of a Demons "board". Myself personally, I'm also on the board of multiple clubs over at Big Footy.

    Is it a silent H? As in row-vat. Seems awkward to pronounce. Other than that I'm keen.

    Same class as Macrae. Viney will make something of him.

    Really like this kid - this would be good get.

    Agreed - though could be a very good get. But he's also rated highly at the Bulldogs, so some work to do.

    Have read mutterings about salary cap pressure, so perhaps that'll help if the deal is right. If it's possible, this is one that could depend on other trades, especially Stef Martin. If he gets to Footscray, which is what's being discussed, they may have to make some space in their cap.

    But as always at this time of the year ... who knows what's really going on. Perhaps we'll do next to nothing all trade period and land O'Meara on the last day.

    If we're offering Melksham 1.6 over 4, i'm assuming the offer to Hrovat is 9.8mill over 7 years...

    Its funny - on two different pages on facebook one guy with 'inside sources'said this guy had issues with McCartney then the next page a guy said the opposite.

    I dont doubt hh's sources because in my walk of life in the last five years independently ive come in to contact with the best mate if an mfc player, the cousin of an mfc listed player and ive known other people with loose connections for a while.

    Problem is what is let slip to you is often flavoured by misconceptions, old info and opinion ive found.

    I don't rate Hrovat. His in the same pile as Michie Newton and Riley for me.

    Techinically it's a harsh 'H' - like the Scottish 'ch' (e.g. Loch Ness). It's an archaic/alternative spelling of 'Croat'.

    Most commentators use a regular English 'H'. As for how the man himself pronounces it, dunno. I guess we wait for the inevitable question from Burgo in his first interview (if we recruit him).

    I'd much prefer 6 - 9 list changes, so I think we could fit both of them into our list.

    Hopefully he doesn't full asleep by the time Burgo finishes the question and we can all find out.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
