What
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Unfortunately I missed the dulcet tones of Terry Wallace

 

Did anyone hear Plough's mini review?

Yep, didn't say too much that we don't already know.

- Said Watts and Dawes are on the table and might be traded for the right deal

- Melbourne are into Melksham and Ben Kennedy

- We have trouble in appealing as a destination club for the big names.

Don't remember anything particularly noteworthy to be honest.

Did anyone hear Plough's mini review?

As expected it was pointless. Told us nothing.

But Josh Mahoney is about to be interviewed, so hopefully some juicy stuff coming.


Josh on now:

Melksham, done a lot of work on him, want run and curry. He has indicated that he wants to join Melbourne
 

Been in contact with Dorodo, they are on the same wavelength insofar as what a fair deal would be (he didn't say what that was)


Ben Kennedy monitired closely. Have spoken to him. One of a number of payers we have discussed.

No offer for Danger. Said 10 mill over 6 was ridiculous and disrespectful to playing list.

Interest in Thomas Bugg. Fits our profile.

Jeremy Howe, still a chance to stay on list. He is testing the market, there are a range of clubs that have a certain monetary value on him.

Jack Watts - Thinks he will still be a Melbourne, initial interest from other clubs but no follow ups.

Jimmy Toumpas- Thought he showed improvement, been hampered by injury, still thinks there is still in AFL player there, he thinks Jimmy may want to go home but is exploring opportunites

Dawes - Bit of a vague answer, but said that its other clubs that might be talking about this.

Aaron Black- No discussions with him

Josh on now:

Melksham, done a lot of work on him, want run and curry. He has indicated that he wants to join Melbourne

Perhaps we are looking to rookie an Indian or something.

Well, the run does often follow the curry.

(Seriously, thanks for keeping the rest of us updated. Even if it is waffle)

Colin Garland - Very close to a deal, next few days will be announced.

Brief summary of what was said.

- Highlighted the clubs desire to bring in competitors

- Club has talked and made progress with both Melksham, Ben Kennedy . Didn't really talk about what the club will need to give up in exchange for them

- Nothing has been offered to Patrick Dangerfield.

- Bugg was noted as another option for the Dee's

- There is still a chance Howe will stay a Demon. Said decision time for Jeremy is approaching

- Watts and Dawes will most likely remain Demons.

- Toumpas is looking at other opportunities.

- Aaron Black was mentioned as an option by Barrett. The club has not yet considered him as an option

- Colin Garland should be re-signed over the next couple days.

Well, the run does often follow the curry.

(Seriously, thanks for keeping the rest of us updated. Even if it is waffle)

Reading between the lines.

Interest in Howe from others (multiple) I think gone.

No interest in Watts

Active in chasing Freeman and Bugg

Very active in chasing everyone, but every club is

Toump all but gone, he wants out but club see potential and would keep him

Garland to be announced as staying in coming days.


Josh on now:

Melksham, done a lot of work on him, want run and curry. He has indicated that he wants to join Melbourne

Quite often Curry can lead to extra run out of the back line

Edited by Old Man Rivers

With Aaron Black, they said that they havent considered him yet. But they are looking at someone to assist Jesse Hogan

Reading between the lines.

Interest in Howe from others (multiple) I think gone.

No interest in Watts

Very active in chasing everyone, but every club is

Toump all but gone, he wants out but club see potential and would keep him

Chris, just to clarify, do you mean Howe is gone or the interest in him from others has disappeared?

 

Reading between the lines (my own interpretation):

Melksham will be a Demon in 2016

Kennedy and Bugg quite likely to be at the club also

Watts is staying

Howe is likely to go

Toumpas no certainty to go, looking elsewhere but club hasn't lost faith

Garland is staying (announcement soon)

Hogan - Club vision presented to him by Roos and Goodwin. if we can extend him soon, it would be great.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
