What
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

I think you mean Kennedy.

 

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

Lots of interest and Howe gone (although he did say he may still stay)

I think you mean Kennedy.

Yep, whoops.
 

Petracca- Will be right to go by round 1. The way the question was asked it was implied that he may not. However he said Christian will be ready.

Still hopeful on Prestia but the club has resigned themselves to leave it for this year.


Really glad to hear the club still has faith in Jimmy.

He may have a better chance of being a part of our developing midfield than try to break into an 'established' group at Port.

Dion Prestia- Have interest in him. makes it difficult as he is contracted. Probably sit on it the moment and wait till next year (uncontracted)

Dions family are Melbourne supporters

 

Second part of the interview

Josh on coaching:

Want the Roos/Goodwin transition to be seamless

Wants Goodwin to take more charge at training

No future role for Roos

Club is at where they expected, in regards to on field

Finals next year is the plan

Club is 'in the picture' more so in regards to trading players to the club

Players that they trade/recruit need to be 'competitors'

Petracca will be ready to go round one

Prestia: Fact that he is contracted means that it would be difficult to get him this year. However, the door is not closed. Family has been a part of coterie so there is a link to the club.

Bennell: Dees not interested. 'Put a line through his name'

Bennell not coming to the dees, has been ruled out.


I like Mahoney, seems a straight talker.

could be just a really good evader...


Thanks guys. Melksham Kennedy and Bugg don't fill me with confidence though. Looks like we are just going for fringe players from opposing teams and not being to aggresive this year

Chris did mean Kennedy, I didn't think Freeman was named... just checking.

Thrilled about Garland

Totally underwhelmed by the rest

A typical one-eyed supporters response.

'Thrilled' at the thought of keeping an underachieving and terribly inconsistent senior player and 'underwhelmed' at potentially picking up three players who will without doubt help the depth of the list and are upgrades on those who have been delisted, thus improving our side overall.

Really pushing the foresight boundaries there.

If Carlton get first rounders (as they are asking) for Henderson and Yarran, then some supporters here should raise their asking value for the likes of Howe and a couple of others.

its carltons arrogance, they always overvalue their own, & look down their nostrils at others until they wear navy blue.

its the same neurosis that caused them to get into their own culture quagmire. they've become inbred.

Couldnt agree more!

Have we started the lets get Brian Lake thread yet?

We're targeting A-graders too, but due to our list profile, i.e. talented youth, we have to be careful not to overpay. We're also not presently a destination club, although managers have more interest in talking to us than 2 years ago.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
